African Liberation Day on 25 May is an annual holiday in various countries in Africa, coinciding with African Union's Africa Day.

History

On 15 April 1958, in Accra, Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah called together African leaders and political activists to gather at the first Conference of Independent African States. In attendance were representatives of the governments of Egypt (then a constituent part of the United Arab Republic), Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, and representatives of the National Liberation Front of Algeria, and the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon. This conference was significant in that it represented the first pan-African conference to be held on African soil.[1]

On the 25th of May in 1963, thirty one African Heads of state had came together in a meeting. In this meeting, they found Organization of African Unity (UAO) and changed African Liberation Day to May 25th.

The Conference called for the founding of African Freedom Day, a day to “mark each year the onward progress of the liberation movement, and to symbolize the determination of the People of Africa to free themselves from foreign domination and exploitation.”

Five years later, after the First Conference of Independent African States in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, another historic meeting occurred. On 25 May 1963, leaders of thirty-two independent African states met to form the Organization of African Unity (OAU). By then more than two-thirds of the continent had achieved independence, mostly from imperial European states. At this meeting, the date of Africa Freedom Day was changed from 15 April to 25 May, and Africa Freedom Day was declared African Liberation Day (ALD). See also
