"A Moor from Aswan, Egypt, 1910. Few today talk about the remnants of original people of Egypt, who lived there for thousands of years. Yes, they are still there, although the invading Arabs and their descendants who currently populate the country have tried to take that identity for themself, the seeds of the Pharaohs are still alive. Interestingly, an Arab lady (writer) was threatened and harassed for trying to shed light on the original people of Egypt. " ~ Dr.kwamezulushabazz

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.

The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.

Ronald McNair was 9 when a South Carolina librarian told him he could not check out books from a segregated library in 1959. Refusing to leave, a determined McNair sat on the counter while the librarian called the police, as well McNair's mother. The police arrived, told the librarian to let the young boy have his books, and McNair walked out alongside his mother and brother.

McNair went on to earn his Ph.D. in physics at MIT and became one of the first African Americans selected as astronauts by NASA, alongside Guion S. Bluford, Jr. and Frederick Gregory.

McNair's first spaceflight was the STS-41B mission, aboard the "Challenger" shuttle. He successfully maneuvered the robotic arm, which allowed astronaut Bruce McCandless to perform the first space walk without being tethered to the spacecraft.

On this day in 1986, the second space flight for McNair would be his last. He, along with six other NASA astronauts, were aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger when it exploded 73 seconds after takeoff in 1986. Everyone on board the shuttle was killed.

Today, the library in South Carolina where McNair was refused books is named after the heroic boy determined to make a difference.

Despite a vast disadvantage in weapons technology, the Zulu's ultimately overwhelmed the British, killing over 1,300 troops, including all those out on the forward firing line. The battle was a decisive victory for the Zulu's and caused the defeat of the first British Invasion of Zululand.

Steve Biko, the young African with the heart ❤ of a lion.

He was full of passion and love for Africa.
On 12th September 1977, some 43 years in Africa, on his own motherland, his blood was spilled to give voices to many of us.

His only crime was that he was against the oppression of his people on their own land.

In his words he said "Never forget who your oppressor and enemy is, when you forget your history it will repeat itself today and again tomorrow."

An Icon and a hero of African. Rest in Power Biko, you are our hero! The time has come for Africa to write her own history to glorify those who deserve our glorification and not to honor those whom oppressor chooses for us to honor!

We love Africa and forever shall we live for Africa. #Africa

The colonizers claimed that our Ancestors had no cultural value for themselves, but the beautiful treasures of our ancestors are being looted from Africa and are being displayed in their museums, this definitely says otherwise and prove them wrong.

George Stinney Jr was falsely convicted and murdered by the U.S at only 14. He was accused of killing two white girls, Betty of 11-years-old and Mary of 7, the bodies were found near the house where the boy resided with his parents.

Before the execution, George spent 81 days in prison without being able to see his parents, he was held in solitary 80 miles from the city, he was held alone without anybody to talk to. He was heard alone without the presence of his parents or a lawyer.

At that time, all the jurors were white. The trial lasted only 2 hours and the sentence was handed down 10 minutes later. The boy's parents were not allowed in the court room, and was subsequently expelled from that city after the trial.

During his trial, until the day of his execution, he always carried a Bible in his hands, claiming for innocence. He was too short for the electric chair so they used the Bible he was carrying as a booster seat. He was electrocuted with 5,380 volts in the head.

70 years later, his innocence was finally proven by a judge in South Carolina. The beam with which the two girls were killed, weighed more than 19.07 kilograms. Therefore, it was impossible for Stinney to be able to lift it, let alone be able to hit hard enough to kill them.

‘The Green Mile’ by Stephen King was inspired by the same case.
