Abstract

The article discusses the history of activists against racism in Great Britain in the 1930s and 1940s, focusing on how their actions led to both the 1939 Conference on African Peoples, Democracy and World Peace in London, England and the Pan-African Congress of 1945 held in Manchester, England. Topics include the activist groups known as the League of Coloured Peoples and the West African Students Union, the political activists groups International African Friends of Abyssinia and the International African Friends of Ethiopia, and relations between civil rights activists with those associated with the communist and labour political parties.
