“Malcom X was a pan-Africanist” dikk Gregory 🤔

You’d be surprised to learn what African diplomats lobby for with resources for the African diaspora.

They care. A lot.

This should be a thread on its own.

Pan-Africanism retreated after the liberation of South Africa.

By the mid 1990s, there was a changing of the guard. Many pre 1950s leaders were killed, exiled or grew weak/corrupt. Also, neoliberalism and the death of the USSR destroyed ideological/material alternatives. Pax Americana after 1991 sealed it.

Interstate clash in the DRC was a sign too.

Of course. And we fall for it everytime. Got Black folks on the internet hating on each other in every fashion possible... Black women vs. Black men, Diaspora wars, Colorism, young Blacks vs older... all by design.

I am guilty of this on occasion.

I am sorry.

Malcolm X was always into Pan-Africanism. His parents were Garveyits with his father leading the Garvey chapter in Nebraska. Yes Dikk Gregory is correct about Malcolm X leading meeting with Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, and Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt but that trip didn’t make him a Pan-Africanist his upbringing did.

When he went international and founded OAAU in Harlem that was just more about business ties.

To add a bit more context , I believe Malcolm's transition to a more pan African ideology was more tied to his relationships he developed as minister of temple number 7 in Harlem specifically his friendships with Dr John henrick clark, Dr yosef Ben jochonan, milton and Richard Henry who all accompanied Malcolm X to Africa Dr Ben serving as one of his translators and guides and the Henry Brothers who created the Malcolm X society. Also Malcolm X was very impressed with the mau mau uprising in Kenya and had ties to delegates there. It's fbi files that suggest Malcolm was underground seriously organizing and planning armed rebellion in America with some of these movements.
