Dr Marie Mollloy of The
History, Politics and Philosophy Department at Manchester Metropolitan
University welcomes you to the 2020 Virtual Pan-African Conference in celebration of the 5th Pan-African
Congress that was held in Manchester, October 15th to 21st
1945.Please download the attached programme for an overview of the conference's content.
The aim of the conference is to bring to attention
the significance of the 5th Pan-African Congress. What was the
historical context to it? Why did it happen in Manchester? Who attended
it and
why was it important? Finally, we will consider how much resonance the
Pan-African Conference still has in 2020 with ongoing issues of systemic
racism in the UK,
USA and across the world.
