Abstract:There is a tendency to see Pan-Africanism in Great Britain during the period 1930-1945 mainly in terms of the activities of the West African Students' Union (WASU), the International African Service Bureau (IASB) and the Pan-African Federation (PAF). The League of Coloured Peoples (LCP) is hardly noticed. A main purpose of this essay is to draw attention to some of the activities of this neglected association. The discussion and analysis of the activities of the LCP seems to lead to the conclusion that that organisation deserves at least as much recongnition as the WASU, the IASB and the PAF. The tendency to place the LCP outside the pale of Pan-Africanism is not justified by the facts and must now be reversed. Notes.
