***This text has been fortified — formatted with a simplified expanded table of contents beginning each chapter, strengthened and updated with charts and illustrations, fitted with subject and name indexes, an expanded bibliography, revised endnotes and improved typography for a user-friendly presentation and seamless utilization. The original manuscript numbered over 500 typed pages of which 350 were used. In reviewing the full original work we found certain unused sections could be reworked and re-presented in a future work. Such areas dealing with the historical black family, courtship and parental planning were left out due to at least financial constraints give the time. Black access to the publishing industry was censored and personal computing much in its infancy or not available. – SNP (Editor)

Punishments in the Congo Free State under Leopold II
Punishments in the Congo Free State under Leopold II Kwabena Ofori Osei 43 Views • 4 years ago

The horrific atrocities that took place in the Congo Free State are often compared to the Holocaust, with king Leopold II of Belgium being compared to the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Between 1885 and 1908, Leopold II personally ruled the Congo, in sub Saharan Africa, which was largely unexplored at this time, as only the coastal areas had been claimed by other European countries. He named it the “Congo Free State,” which is rather ironic when you realise what went on there.
The local population was anything but free.
(1885-1908)

Jamaica, Antigua & Barbuda May Cut Ties to British Monarch; Renew Call for Reparations for Slave
Jamaica, Antigua & Barbuda May Cut Ties to British Monarch; Renew Call for Reparations for Slave Kwadwo Danmeara Tòkunbọ̀ Datɛ 34 Views • 4 years ago

We look at how the death of Queen Elizabeth II is prompting former British colonies in the Caribbean to replace the British monarch as their head of state. Antigua and Barbuda's prime minister has vowed to hold a referendum soon on whether to become a republic, and Jamaica's ruling Labour Party also plans a vote. The Caribbean at one point formed the heart of England's first colonial empire in North America, with millions of enslaved Africans taken to the islands, where many were worked to death. Dorbrene O'Marde, chair of the Antigua and Barbuda Reparations Commission, says he is not personally mourning Queen Elizabeth's death because her reign helped to "cloak the historical brutality of empire in this veneer of grandeur and pomp and pageantry." We also speak with renowned Jamaican poet and musician Mutabaruka, who says the British monarchy "represents criminal activity" and that the British state needs to make reparations to former colonies like Jamaica to redress the history of abuses. "Actions speak louder than words," he says.

Politics of Color: The Role of Color in Sierra Leonean Politics
Politics of Color: The Role of Color in Sierra Leonean Politics Runi Bi 50 Views • 3 years ago

In "Politics of Color: The Role of Color in Sierra Leonean Politics," we embark on a captivating journey through the vibrant history and complex challenges of Sierra Leone. Join us as we uncover the underlying truths that bind us together and pave the way toward a brighter future.

Esteemed experts guide us through the intricate tapestry of Sierra Leone's origins, shedding light on the lasting impacts of colonialism. From the early years of Bo School and other educational institutions established after the 1898 rebellion, we uncover the deep-rooted influence of these historical events.

Transitioning from the past to the present, we confront the misunderstandings surrounding ethnic identities and self-perception. We delve into the dormant power within the masses, revealing the inherent strength lying untapped and explore insightful interviews with diverse stakeholders who share tangible solutions for a prosperous Sierra Leone.

Concluding our journey, we paint a vision of hope for Sierra Leone's future—a journey where unity, prosperity, and justice prevail. This vision is not an illusion but an attainable reality. Through concerted efforts, transformative policies, and the unwavering determination of the people, we can shape a brighter tomorrow for Sierra Leone. Let us embrace the diversity of our nation, which is our strength, and the shared vision of progress guides our way forward.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution (1959)
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution (1959) Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 29 Views • 5 years ago

In a 22 December 1958 letter, Morehouse president Benjamin Mays invited King to address the graduating class of 1959; King accepted six days later. In these prepared remarks—his earliest known usage of this title—King invokes his common themes of anticolonialism and black self-respect.1 He places the domestic “social revolution" in a global context and urges the graduates of his alma mater to rise above the limits of “individualistic concerns,” submitting that all people are “caught up in an inescapable network of mutuality.”

News coverage of the speech indicates that King modified this handwritten text at several points. He advised his audience to adhere to nonviolence, for the "oppressors would be happy if black Americans “would resort to physical violence” and reminded them of progress already made: “We’ve broken loose from the Egypt of slavery . . . and we stand on the border of the promised land in integration.”2 King reportedly closed with a warning against inaction: “If you go home, sit down and do nothing about the revolution which we are witnessing you will be the victim of a dangerous optimism.”3

There can be no gainsaying of the fact that we are experiencing today one of the greatest revolutions that the world has ever known. Indeed there have been other revolutions, but they have been local and isolated. The distinctive feature of the present revolution is that it is worldwide. It is shaking the foundations of the east and the west. It has engulfed every continent of the world. You can hear its deep rumblings from the lowest village street to the highest intellectual ivory tower. Every segment of society is being swept into its mainstream. The great challenge facing every member of this graduating class is to remain awake, alert and creative through this great revolution.
