Victory of Adwa is the base for Pan-Africanism and other black right movements. Ethiopia’s victory over the colonial Italy at Adwa in 1996 inspired other African freedom fights.

The Adwa Memorial Museum is a powerful reminder that Ethiopia’s 1896 victory did not only stand to its sovereignty but also elevated its diplomatic standing, emboldened the fight against colonialism, and strengthened the Pan-African movement. The design of the building, the symbols, the museum and the monuments symbolizes and reminds Adwa’s role to Africa and the black people as a whole.
