Négritude
Négritude was an anti-colonial movement started by African and Caribbean students in 1930s Paris.
Négritude was spearheaded by Aimé Césaire, a Martinican poet, Léon Damas, a poet from French Guiana, and Léopold Sédar Senghor, who, besides being a poet, would later become the President of Senegal. Influenced by various artistic styles and movements like surrealism and the Harlem Renaissance, Négritude transformed into a global art movement when its artists and intellectuals were dispersed from Paris due to the outbreak of the Second World War.
