What Is Pan-Africanism? | Black History Buff: Definitions

Author: King Kurus, Griot of Black & African History February 26, 2025 Duration: 1:12

Hey family! Welcome to Black History Buff: Definitions—a new mini-series where we break down keywords, terms, and phrases from Black and African history in quick, bite-sized episodes.

In this first episode, we’re looking at Pan-Africanism—the idea that African people, no matter where they are in the world, share a common history and future. This concept has influenced movements, leaders, and nations, shaping how Black communities think about unity and identity.

These short episodes are designed to give you a simple, shareable definition—something to learn for yourself or pass on to someone else.

🎧 Listen now, and let’s keep the conversation going.

💬 Got a word or term you’d like me to define? Drop a comment or hit me up on social media!

Stay curious. Stay proud. Stay blessed.
