The Pan-African Congress held its first major meeting in London on July 23, 1900. It was a significant event in the early history of the Pan-African movement, aiming to address the challenges faced by people of African descent, especially in the face of European colonialism. The Congress was attended by prominent figures like W.E.B. Du Bois, who played a key role in organizing the event, and it focused on issues such as racism, colonialism, and the rights of Africans both on the continent and in the diaspora. The resolutions from this Congress laid the groundwork for future Pan-African gatherings and movements.
