 Pan - Africanism is a sociopolitical word and also a movement that seeks to unify and uplift native Africans and Africans in the diaspora as part of a global African community. Pan - Africanism sets aside cultural differences asserting the principality of shared experiences to foster solidarity and resistance to exploitation. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who became the first president of Ghana was a Pan - African activist. Dr William .E. Burghart Du Bois who came to live in Ghana from 1961 - 1963 has also been labeled the father of Pan - Africanism. Our tour brings you back to the motherland as we embark on our journey, rediscovering your roots with your brothers and sisters here in Ghana. |
