📅 15 October 1945 📍 United Kingdom

Public sessions of the Fifth Pan-African Congress brought workers, activists, and anticolonial leaders together in Manchester. Delegates demanded self-government and opposed racial discrimination. The emphasis on mass organization connected freedom from empire with economic and social power, rather than equality being limited to a small elite.
