From Black Power to Pan-Africanism

Blossom of Thought

This is an anthological episode dealing with Black Power and the intricacies of Pan-Africanism. In this regard we host the voices of Kwame Ture, Ahjamu Umi, and Kwame Nkrumah. Pan-Africanism has come a long way - going as far back as the 1900s or from the days of Marcus Garvey through W.E.B Du Bois who kept the lights of Pan-Africanism burning till the 1945 Pan-African Congress with George Padmore (from the Caribbean) and Kwame Nkumah representing the Motherland. It is a fact that the struggle of Africans in North America produced what is known as Black Power in the 60s of the Civil Rights Movement.However, it is argued that Black Power naturally mutates or evolves to Pan-Africanism.
