MESSAGE FROM CONFERENCE PLANNING COMMITTEE AND SECRETARIAT
Dear fellow Pan-Africanists,
We warmly welcome you in the name of our ancestors who made immense sacrifices for the upliftment of Africa and its peoples, to the University of Ghana, to the historic city of Accra and to Ghana, on the occasion of this conference to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the first All-African People’s Conference. Sixty (60) years ago, liberation movements, political parties, trade unionists and progressive groups from across Africa and beyond met in Accra, the capital of the newly independent state of Ghana from 8 – 13 December 1958 to set an ambitious agenda to change the terms of the relationship between Africa and her colonisers. What has happened to this agenda of liberation and transformation of Africa? What are our current developmental challenges as a continent? What would it take to achieve total liberation and transform Africa into a united and prosperous continent that serves the needs of all its people, and not only a few?
The Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana together with its partners, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) of Ghana, the Socialist Forum of Ghana (SFG), Third World Network-Africa and Lincoln University, USA, has organized this conference under the theme “Revisiting the 1958 All-African People’s Conference - The Unfinished Business of Liberation and Transformation” to find answers to these very pressing questions. The Conference aims to bring together groups and individuals working at the forefront of the unfinished business of Africa’s liberation and transformation; create a platform for scholars and activists to share insights from research and practice; and debate and adopt resolutions on Africa’s transformation to be presented to the governments and peoples of Africa.
The Institute of African Studies, a brainchild of President Kwame Nkrumah is privileged to host you all- activists, academics, students, trade unionists, working people and performers from the 5 – 8 December 2018, to interrogate the agenda of liberation and transformation. The 1958 conference was the initiative of the then eight independent African states – Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan and the United Arab Republic (Egypt). These countries who initially met in April 1958 in Accra, were united by a shared belief that there could be no true independence without the total liberation of Africa.
As we gather again in this historic capital city of Ghana at the country’s premier university that is also celebrating the 70th anniversary of its establishment, we are being asked to go back and revisit these ideas and be inspired by the courage, vision and confidence of the 1958 conference. It is sad that 60 years after this historic meeting, which has seen most African countries attaining formal independence from colonial rule, Africa’s relationship with Europe and North America, remains unbalanced, exploitative and oppressive. The continent is still the primary source of natural resources for the development of the West while our people wallow in poverty, disease and suffer human rights abuses, and our countries remain indebted, under-developed and under the political and economic control of Western powers and institutions.
The crisis of leadership that Africa suffers is at the heart of the unfinished business of liberation and transformation. Many African leaders have been preoccupied with transforming the lives of themselves, families and friends rather than their peoples. What must change, as the meeting of the peoples of Africa in 1958 signaled, is that the onus of liberation and transformation of Africa does not lie with only the leaders. This conference
2 ALL-AFRICAN PEOPLES’ CONFERENCE 2018
is a reminder to the peoples of global Africa that the transformation of Africa lies in their hands as well.
We have laid out an intellectually stimulating and culturally rich programme for the four days of the conference. Our seven plenaries are designed to both focus on the current conjuncture as well as the future. Our parallel sessions offer insights on a broad range of issues that concern Africans everywhere under the sub-themes of Neo-colonialism and Imperialism; Pan-Africanism today; the Peoples of Africa (including the Diaspora); Emancipation of Women; Global Warming; and Reparation and Restorative Justice.
Our cultural programme consists of a film show segment which will run during parallel sessions, a photo exhibition on the 1958 Conference, a palm-wine night of music, dance and performance; and a music and performance concert to round off the conference on the penultimate day. During the opening and closing ceremonies, there will be performances from spoken word artists and the Ghana Dance Ensemble, the professional dance company of the Institute. We hope that you will participate actively in all aspects of Conference, to ensure that the Conference Resolution has your considered input.
We wish to express our profound gratitude to all conference sponsors for their generous support and confidence in this conference. They made it possible to sponsor selected participants from Africa and the Diaspora, as well as students from Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote D’Ivoire, Nigeria and Togo.
It is our fervent hope you leave this conference energized and ready to re-engage with vigour in the work to liberate and transform Africa. Let the call of the first All-African People’s Conference ring loud and clear, “Peoples of Africa unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains! You have a continent to regain! You have freedom and human dignity to attain!”

Brief History of the 1958 All-African Peoples’ Conference
The independence of Ghana in March 1957 was a definitive moment, but with respect to the elaboration of global pan African goals, the year 1958 remains a defining highpoint. April of that year witnessed the First Conference of Independent African States, organized in Accra, Ghana, and attended by representatives from independent African states, namely, Egypt, Ethiopia, Liberia, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia. That was followed in December of the same year by an All-African Peoples’ Conference (AAPC), organized by a preparatory committee consisting of members from the then independent states listed above, under the chairmanship of Tom Mboya, then General Secretary of the Kenya Federation of Labour. At that time, Kenya was in the midst of a protracted armed rebellion against British colonialism. There was also the armed rebellion in Algeria against French settler colonialism.
The December 1958 AAPC, which was also held in Accra, was attended not only by representatives from the independent states, but also ordinary persons from 28 territories such as Angola, Benin (then Dahomey), Cameroon, Chad, the Congo (then still under colonial rule), Ivory Coast, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Nyasaland, Rhodesia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanganyika, Togoland, Uganda and Zanzibar. There was a strong delegation from the Afro-Asian Peoples Solidarity Council1, based in from Cairo, Egypt.
Over 300 participants drawn from political parties and trade union movements representing over 2 million Africans attended this AAPC. The conference also hosted delegations from Canada, China, Denmark, India, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the major driving forces for the conference was a desire to explore mechanisms through which the countries that have liberated themselves from colonial domination could support the anti-colonial struggle and liberation endeavours in other territories on the continent and in the Caribbean.
The specific objectives of the conference were to (i) encourage the nationalist leaders from the various territories still under colonial rule in their efforts to mobilize the masses or establish political movements for independence, and (ii) to develop and agree on an overarching strategy for executing an African revolution. The conference also tackled the thorny question of the forms of struggle for independence.
At the end of the conference, it was firmly decided that the idea of an All-African Peoples’ Conference should be established as a permanent entity with professional staff headquartered in Accra, to serve as the incubator of the envisaged African unity, and also:
1. Promote unity and understanding with all peoples of african descent
2. Mobilize global public opinion against the abuse of human rights in africa
3. Accelerate the liberation of africa from imperialism and colonialism
4. Serve as a nucleus for the establishment of a united states of africa, and
5. Organize similar conferences on an annual basis.1
1The name of this organization was changed to the Afro-Asian Peoples Solidarity Organization in 1960

Lincoln University (LU) is again participating in the Pan-African initiative to build a United States of Africa. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, who matriculated at Lincoln University and was graduated in 1939, then from LU’s seminary in 1941, would have expected this participation. A broader rationale for the university’s participation is the noble goal of addressing the unfinished tasks of the 1958 conference. Finally, LU is committed to the type of liberal arts education that generates critical thinkers who are willing and able to lead endeavors for liberation. Thus, LU’s current ‘tag line’ is, “Learn, Liberate, Lead”?
