The Pan-African movement was founded by a diverse group of leaders, including W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, and Kwame Nkrumah, among others. These individuals sought to unite people of African descent worldwide to combat colonialism, racism, and oppression. They organized several Pan-African Congresses, promoting the idea of African solidarity and independence. Their efforts laid the groundwork for future movements advocating for civil rights and decolonization in Africa and the diaspora.
