Summary
THE dream of a Pan-African Congress had already come true in 1919. Yet it was with hearts half-wondering, half fearful that we ventured to realize it afresh in 1921. So tenuous, so delicate had been its beginnings. Had the black world, although once stirred by the terrific rumblings of the Great War, relapsed into its lethargy? Then out of Africa just before it was time to cross the Atlantic came a letter, one of many, but this the most appealing word from the Egyptian Sudan: “Sir: We cannot come but we are sending you this small sum ($17.92), to help toward the expenses of the Pan-African Congress. Oh Sir, we are looking to you for we need help sorely!”
