Pan-Africanism From Mississippi to The Congo

Description

Happy Black History Month!! Revolutionary Baddies are so excited to celebrate and educate the mass during this month. This month’s episodes will cover topics that are not easily associated with history, but bring historical context on topics such as love, family, and the idea of being Black and unconventional. Pan-Africanism is a political movement that traces directly to the heart and resistance and fight for Africa and its people. Brittany and Dee Dee wanted to start this month discussing the foundations of Pan-Africanism and the movements and revolutions it birthed, and why this information is vital. The liberation of Ghana, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and so many more African countries were grown through the ideological concepts of Pan-Africanism. Unfortunately, European and American colonialism still exists today, and in order to defeat such systems we must understand the peak of its capabilities and the sacrifices made before. Hope you enjoy!

Questions for our listeners:

What other African revolutionaries should everyone learn about?
