T. E. S. Scholes: the unknown Pan Africanist

In the roll call of the Pan African movement, the name of Theophilus Scholes is virtually unknown. Yet this one-time Baptist missionary, who was born in Jamaica and served briefly in the Congo and on the Gold Coast, became a trenchant and influential critic of late nineteenth-century British imperialism. His attacks on the notions of `scientific racism' were similarly authoritative and his works were read and admired by leading black intellectuals and activists of the day, including Arthur Schomburg, Pixley Seme and W. E. B. Du Bois.
