1921 – Pan-African Congress in London Ends

The third Pan-African Congress concluded on May 14, 1921, in London. Organized by W.E.B. Du Bois and British-African intellectuals, the event brought together delegates from the U.S., Africa, and the Caribbean. The Congress called for African self-governance, racial equality, and an end to colonial exploitation. Though not widely covered in Western media at the time, it laid foundational ideas for future African independence movements and inspired a new generation of Black internationalist thinkers.
