Pan-Africanism is a movement that emphasizes unity and solidarity among people of African descent across the continent and the diaspora, historically symbolized by the red, black, and green flag created by the UNIA in 1920. It matters because it represents an attempt to bring together African peoples around shared identity and common interests, transcending national and geographical boundaries.
