Stealing A Nation is an extraordinary film about the plight of the people of the chagos islands in the Indian Ocean - secretly and brutally expelled from their Homeland by British government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, to make way for an American military base. The base, on the main island of Diego Garcia, was a launch pad for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Marcus Garvey is credited with coining the phrase “Black is beautiful.” During the 1920s the Pan Africanist leader adopted the term. Garvey encouraged Black women to embrace their natural hair and features. He said, “Don’t remove kinks from your hair. Remove them from your brain.” He believed that attempting to follow white Eurocentric standards of beauty denigrated the beauty of Black women. The concept of Black being beautiful waned and almost died after Garvey was deported and then with his death.
The Black is Beautiful movement was a powerful cultural and social movement that reemerged during the 1960s and 1970s. The term “Black is Beautiful,” usually evokes memories and/visions that might fill your head full of afros, blaxploitation films, Black empowerment, civil rights movements, and black fists held in the air. In 1962, a photographer, a group of models and a fashion show in Harlem would kick-start a cultural and political movement.
In late January 1962, a group of artists known as the African Jazz-Art Society & Studios staged a fashion show in Harlem that would change American culture forever.

He puts on a sad face but the fact of the matter is they he helped take
down Brother Malcolm X and set his people back forever until the end
of time. He prevented Malcolm from getting into the United Nations.
He worked with the oppressive white system and set Malcolm up to be
gunned down by the puppets in The Nation of Islam. This creep just like
his partner Raymond Woods was pure shit. Now we are left with a bunch
of Black individuals who are monetarily successful but collectively we
are a bunch of damn bums. Nothings has changed, when we get around
each other we only want to talk about material possessions we already
obtained or seeking to get. We've been ran into the ground.

If another Black person makes more money than the next the think they
are superior. We've been turned into clowns.

Now come on and argue with me so I can show you how crazy you are.
If you think we are at where we are suppose to be as a people you are out
of your mind, - Omar Shabazz.
