It is a movement for greater co-operation among
Africans. People who support this movement are called Pan-Africanists. It also
unifies Africans.

Pan Africanism is more focused on getting people

Nationalism is mainly focused on promoting the traditions, interests and ideals
of Africa and gaining their independence.

They
have both fought for the independence from colonial rule and strongly supported
the idea of Pan-Africanism, believing in a unity of Africans. Kwame Nkrumah was
a Ghanaen leader that fought for independence from the British in his home
country. Robert Sobukwe was the founder of the Pan-Africanist party.

I feel
that he wrote this song to communicate to Africans all over the world, that
they should all return “home”. They must leave America and come back to the
place where they are free and have independence – African Nationalism. They
must come back home and create co-operation and unity among Africans – Pan
Africanism. (Africans that have been forcefully removed from their countries
and the longing to be Africans and to go home again)
