What leader was the main organizer of the first pan-africanism?

Answer 1

Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana

"Dynamic African leaders put their mark on the region during the early decades after independence. Men such as Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta, Ivory Coast's Felix Houphuët-Boigney, and Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah became powerful father figures who molded their new nations. President Nkrumah's vision for Africa was the most expansive. After helping to secure independence for Ghana in 1957, his ultimate aspiration was the political unity of Africa.While his dream was never realized, it set the stage for the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, which was renamed the African Union in 2002. The African Union (AU) is a continent-wide organization. Its main role has been to mediate disputes between neighbors.Certainly in the 1970s and 1980s it was a constant voice of opposition to South Africa's minority rule, and the AU intervened in some of the more violent independence movements in southern Africa."
