According to research, Pan-Africanism emerged prominently in 1900 when Trinidadian barrister Henry Sylvester Williams organized the First Pan-African Conference in London. African American activist W.E.B. Du Bois later revitalized the movement through a series of Pan-African Congresses, especially during the interwar period.

The movement gained significant recognition with the Fifth Pan-African Congress in October 1945, held in Manchester, UK. This event brought together people of African descent from around the world, marking a collective effort to address the injustices of imperialism, colonialism, apartheid, and systemic racial inequality.

Regional African leaders also contributed to these efforts, aiming to realize the ideals of Pan-Africanism. This edition of the program evaluates the impact and effectiveness of the Pan-African movements in the 21st Century.
