Our Historic Tasks The historic tasks of the African liberation movement are clearly the product of Africa’s history, of the forces and factors which have made it what it is. To obtain complete freedom in Africa, the historic tasks of the movement are: * To forge, foster and consolidate the bonds of African nationhood a Pan-African basis. * To implement effective the fundamental principal that the dominion or sovereignty over the domination or ownership in the whole territory of the continent rest exclusively and indigenous people. * to create and maintain a United States of Africa that will serve and provide and concrete institutional form for the African nation. * to establish an Africanistic Socialist democratic social order, recognising the primacy of the vital material, intellectual and spiritual interests of the individual. a liberation movement must find concrete expression in organisational form and substance in order that it may achieve its historic tasks. The highest organisational form and structure in which the African liberation movement has found concrete expression in South Africa is the Pan Africanist Congress and the various facets of its historic role are: * To create an organisational machinery for the galvanizing of the oppressed, exploited and degraded African masses into and degraded African masses into an irresistible social force bent upon the destruction of all factors and forces that have reduced that stature of man and retarded his growth; and also bent upon the creation of restorations favorable for the restoration of man’s worth and dignity and for the development of the African personality. * to establish for the liberation movement a training ground for the production of a determinated, dedicated and disciplined collective leadership that will serve, not only as the symbol of national unity.
