By the end of the Great War, whispers can be heard around the world. The streets the United States’ many cities are singing to the beat of a new drum, trumpets and trombones wailing for dignity. The farms of the Antillean colonies write of rebellion and liberation. Africa's many ports and cities are buzzing with voices striving to correct centuries of wrongdoing. Even Europe’s factories are teeming with these whispers striving for the freedom of a world mistreated. The echoes of new voices from around the world are climbing from the settling dust. You are these voices. These voices seek freedom, dignity, and development for Africa and its people regardless of where they live. But how will this be secured? The era of colonialism seems to be at its peak, with powers around the world sinking their hands into African soil in one way or another. How will you put an end to this practice? How will an alternative world be constructed with regard to the will and needs of the world's African diaspora? After the First World War, these are questions which must be addressed by a meeting of prominent African thinkers and activists around the world during a period of widespread reconstruction. What will be done?
