Pan-Africanism
Pan-Africanism is how people embraced their African culture and believed that no matter how far away one is from the original land of Africa, Africans are still connected with other African people that shared the same history as well. This belief is spread all over the world and continued through different time periods, for a man named Richard Allen, who lived from 1760 to 1813 and a man named George Padmore, who lived 1903 to 1959, both practiced Pan-Africanism. However, they lived in different time periods and lived in two completely different areas throughout there time, but they both felt those with he same African descent all were connected through their nationalities, almost like a huge spider web connecting each person with an African heritage to the center, in which Africa is in fact, in the center if the world. Pan-Africanism is also the idea of one being proud of their heritage as well, for one man that also believed in this was Marcus Garvey. He believed that Africans should not only respect their nationality, but to honor themselves for being African as well.
