“As Pan-Africanists, we always emphasize on “Free Your Mind” slogan. This can only be true through Education. Education is the tool Africans must use to free their minds first. It’s only then, that we can think and act independently from our colonizers. So when we have our members graduating with master’s, it means our movement is expanding by beats and bounds,” Irumba said.
