Podcasts about pan african conference

This week we are once again joined by Texas Impact Policy Advocate, Heather Malkawi, who was recently invited to attend the 6th Pan African Conference, otherwise known as Sankofa 2024. This conference is hosted about every five years by the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians. Heather shares highlights from her trip and about how these theologians are processing, leading and acting.   Texans of faith are also leading, and it is so inspiring to see. If you want to find out how you can get involved, check out texasimpact.org, and for sure check out the Texas Faith Votes page for tools and resources. Learn more about Sankofa and the CCAWT here circle.org.za and in Heather's blog texasimpact.org/journey-to-ghana

Today, on Sojourner Truth: We continue our coverage of African Liberation Week, which kicked off on Monday, May 25, with African Liberation Day. On April 15, 1958, in the city of Accra, Ghana, African leaders convened the first Conference of Independent African States. The conference included representatives from Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, the United Arab Republic (which included Egypt and Syria) and representatives of the National Liberation Front of Algeria and the Union of Cameroonian Peoples. This was the first Pan-African Conference held on the continent. It represented the unity of African people to the racist systems of colonialism and imperialism. Among other provisions, the conference called for the founding of African Freedom Day. Five years later, after the First Conference of Independent African States in the city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, another historical meeting occurred. On May 25, 1963, leaders of thirty-two independent African States met to form the Organization of African Unity. At the historic Organization of African Unity meeting, the date of Africa Freedom Day was changed from April 15 to May 25 and Africa Freedom Day was declared African Liberation Day. African Liberation Day has been marked annually on May 25th in every corner of the world ever since. This year is no different. Africans Rising, a grassroots Pan-Africanist movement on the continent, kicked off a week-long mobilization on African Liberation Day. The movement has been hosting online conversations, actions and events dedicated to keeping all Africans safe during this global health crisis. The theme of their mobilization is Active Citizenship in the Fight Against COVID-19. Africans from all over the world " including the U.S., the U.K., the Caribbean and Latin America " have been taking part in it. Other Pan-Africanist movements have been hosting similar mobilizations focused on COVID-19, given its hard impact on African people. Today, you will hear audio from an African Liberation Week webinar hosted by the Advocacy Network for Africa. The virtual event briefed audiences around the world about COVID-19 in Africa and the diaspora, the responses taking place, and what needs to happen to mitigate COVID-19. The event was moderated by Robtel Neajai Pailey, a Liberian academic, activist and author. Speakers included Coumbe Toure of Africans Rising, Nana Gyamfi of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, Abdiqadir Yousuf Abdullahi, a doctor with the organization Save the Vision, and Nyeleti Honwana with Global Black Youth.

The links between African Americans and the global struggle for decolonization, particularly in Africa are well-documented. Facing similar kinds of repression that were rooted in systemic racism and the denial of political rights, Pan-Africanism became one expression of a transnational fight for equality. The first Pan-African Conference was held in 1900 in London, and in the wake of World War II, the joint struggles for civil rights in the United States and political independence from European powers heated up. Nicholas Grant's Winning Our Freedoms Together: African Americans and Apartheid, 1945–1960 (University of North Carolina Press, 2017) builds on the earlier work of scholars by focusing in closely on the connections between U.S. activists and black South Africans facing dual repression from anticommunism and racist regimes. Grant begins by describing the factors that drove the U.S. government and South African governments together. Increasing financial investment in South Africa by American businessmen created economic linkages and anticommunism pushed the two governments into a Cold War alliance, with the South African government even trying to improve its anticommunist laws by consulting with American lawyers. From there, Grant goes on to describe various ways that African Americans and black South Africans were in conversation with one another. One chapter focuses on the effects of travel, while another focuses on print and musical culture. Grant examines the effect of anticommunist repression on the international black left as well as incarceration and the depictions of imprisonment before concluding with links between African American women and black South African women. Zeb Larson is a PhD Candidate in History at The Ohio State University. His research is about the anti-apartheid movement in the United States.
