What was the purpose of pan africanism

D. To unite people of African descent around the world

Pan-Africanism meant to unite all people native to Africa under one cultural banner.

Pan-Africanism is a cultural and historically movement meant to unite people around the world indigenous to Africa. The movements were most popular in the United States and Europe where indigenous blacks had been enslaved and forced to assimilate to western culture. Pan-Africanism encouraged blacks to trace their heritage and connect to African culture. Movements have even gone so far as to encouraging people to change their names and return to native religious and cultural traditions.

The purpose of pan-africanism was to unite all people of African descent, regardless of the country they were in, whether it be an African country, the British Empire, the States, or similar.
