Abstract
- The focus of the essay is to provide a first-hand account of the proceedings, study sessions, cultural events, cultural trends, Pan-African discussions, and findings during the "2nd Kwame Nkrumah Pan-African Intellectual & Cultural Festival" that convened June 25th-July 1st 2017, at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, in Accra. The theme of the festival was "Global Africa 2063: Education for Reconstruction and Transformation." Delegations, students, activists, artists, and statespersons attended the conference with focus on reflecting on the historical contributions of Pan-Africanism and to provide a future projection for Pan-Africanism to assist with the goals and objectives of "Agenda 2063." This article will provide a summary of Pan-African activities currently in African diasporic communities, among theorists and in organizations. Themes in repatriation, Pan-African literature, Walter Rodney, Kwame Nkrumah, current activist-scholars, and an Africological perspective of history, politics and culture are summarized.
