Rokhaya Daba Fall, a retired international civil servant, pleaded on Saturday for the teaching of the history of pan-Africanist heroines. I want, in the curricula from kindergarten to primary school, to integrate stories, tales about these heroines, these female leaders, so that children finally understand the role played by Collette Nardal, Suzanne Roussi C\u00e9saire or Ndatt\u00e9 Yalla, Aline Sitoe Diatta, etc.,\u00a0\u00bb she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms. Fall was speaking at a conference on the theme \u00a0\u00bbWomen’s leadership and pan-Africanism\u00a0\u00bb, organized at the Monument of the Renaissance by the Provisional International Initiative Committee (CIP) as part of the celebration of Africa Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rokhaya Daba Fall, who spoke at length about the role played by women in the resistance, believes that there has been \u00ab\u00a0a collective forgetfulness of female leadership\u00a0\u00bb. \u00ab\u00a0We often talk about the fathers of independence, negritude, pan-Africanism, where are the mothers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The negritude was well supported by mothers like Colette Nardal and her sister Paulette Nardal and Aim\u00e9 C\u00e9saire’s wife, Suzanne Roussi C\u00e9saire, etc.,\u00a0\u00bb she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rose Samb, an activist of RTAS (Rasemblement des travailleurs africains\/S\u00e9n\u00e9gal), agrees and notes \u00ab\u00a0the essential role of women in the various pan-Africanist movements\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0They were there and have always been there. Collette Nardal is an academic at the Sorbonne, a writer, and with her sister Paulette. They had a literary salon, one of the crucibles of negritude where Senghor, C\u00e9saire and Damas were nurtured\u00a0\u00bb, she recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For her, \u00ab\u00a0women have had an essential role in transmission\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For General Mansour Seck, member of the IPC, initiator of this day, it is a question of reviving this pan-African movement which has \u00ab\u00a0gone dormant\u00a0\u00bb while in the world \u00ab\u00a0we are witnessing large groups\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
