Pixley Isaka Seme was one of the first western-educated Africans to challenge the European colonialism then sweeping across the continent. Born in Natal, South Africa, Eme was educated at Columbia and Oxford Universities in the United States and Great Britain where he also became an attorney. Upon returning to South Africa, Seme in 1912 along with other black intellectuals and activists founded the African Native National Congress (now the African National Congress). In 1906, however, he gave the address below to the Royal African Society in London.
