    What is Pan-Africanism? Pan-Africanism is a worldwide movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all indigenous and diaspora ethnic groups of African descent. We discuss how having a Pan-African mindset and being an activist can affect change as African's have their own reality that differs from that of Europeans, Asians, or Americans therefor good governance by Africans for Africans will lead to the development of Africa.
