Turning Points in Pan-Africanism: The Nardal Sisters

In this lecture and conversation, we discuss the role of the Nardal Sisters as incubators of Black culture and identity. 

Through examining both primary and secondary sources, we explore how their leadership contributed to the development of the theoretical framework on which later Pan-African political movements were based.

By understanding the significance of how the Nardal Sisters created space for Black thought and culture, particularly in the Négritude movement, we can trace the direct line between the theoretical foundations of Pan-Africanism in the diaspora and the highly politicised movement that advocated for socio-economic unity on the continent.
