📅 19 February 1919 📍 France

The Pan-African Congress opened in Paris during the peace-conference period. Delegates discussed rights and the future of African peoples under colonial domination. Their international organizing challenged the exclusion of colonized and Black communities from decisions about the postwar world, while its initial reform demands differed from later calls for immediate independence.
