On September 3, 1970, representatives from 27 African nations gathered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for the first Congress of African People (CAP). The conference was a significant event aimed at promoting unity and solidarity among African nations in the fight against colonialism, apartheid, and imperialism, while also addressing social, economic, and political issues affecting the continent.
The Congress was also notable for its role in encouraging African diaspora involvement in these struggles, as it brought together African leaders, intellectuals, and activists from around the world. The event was a major step towards fostering pan-Africanism and enhancing collaboration across African nations and communities.
