Barthélemy Boganda, (born April 4, 1910, Bobangui, Moyen-Congo, French Equatorial Africa [now in Central African Republic]—died March 29, 1959, near Bangui), the major nationalist leader of the Central African Republic (formerly Ubangi-Shari) in the critical decolonization period of the 1950s. His strong popular support was unmatched by that of any other political figure in the four colonies of French Equatorial Africa. In 1949 he founded his own party, the Social Evolution Movement of Black Africa, which he dominated completely.
