Pan Africanism has been defined as many things such as a sociopolitical world view, a philosophy, and a movement. Pan Africanism seeks global African Unity for people of African heritage. The term Pan-Africanism was developed by Sylvester Williams of the United States. In the beginning it formed as solidarity amongst those where experiencing extreme racism and prejudice. It was a form of nationalism or a statement to reinforce pride. As a movement, campaigns have been to go “Back to Africa” and to economically and politically develop Africa.
The concept of Pan-Africanism was formed by W. E. B. Du Bois of the United States (and citizen of Liberia), known as the Father of Pan-Africanism, Marcus Garvey of Jamaica, and Kwame Nkrumah, of Ghana. Other early key leaders were Jomo Kenyatta, Robert Sobukwe, and Patrice Lumumba.
In 1919, the first Pan-African Congress was formed by W. E. B. Du Bois. Fifteen countries were represented by 57 delegates. Its main goal was to represent native Africans who did not rule their homeland. Its ultimate goal was to see all of Africa having home rule.
