4. the meeting promoted decolonization efforts not just for Africa but for all peoples of African descent
The Fifth Pan-African Congress, held in Manchester in 1945, was significant as it called for the decolonization of not just Africa, but also for all peoples of African descent around the world. The congress emphasized the importance of solidarity and unity among all Africans and people of African descent in the struggle against colonialism and oppression. This marked a shift towards a more inclusive and global perspective in the Pan-African movement.
