Chinua Achebe experienced the long-term effects of colonialism in his home country first hand. Throughout all of his life, he urged all of Africa to rediscover their cultural identity instead of simply accepting that of Westernized culture.

Though Maharero did not successfully drive the Germans from his home, he is still a hero to his people. Long after his death and burial, his people were able to return to their homeland and give him a proper burial in the land he fought for.

Mebenga m’Ebono, like Rudolf Duala Manga Bell in The German King, grew up in a time of colonialism in Kamerun. Both great men saw the dangers that were approaching their country, and both gave their lives to defend it.

The queen mother was the spouse of one of Rudolph's descendants, but she was also a wonderful woman beloved by her people. We honor her memory, look back on her life, and appreciate all that she accomplished.

What would you do to fight against a man you think of as a brother? Could you take a stand if his actions were hurting the people you loved? #TGK #AfricanHistory #Cameroon #GermanKingSeries

We couldn’t let #InternationalWomensDay end without highlighting Emily Engome Dayas! Emily supported and advised her husband throughout their marriage and continued his mission after his death! #AmazingWomen #TGK #RealStory #GermanKingSeries

To the Germans and many other colonizers, Africa was a place to exploit. They didn’t care for the land or the people. That’s why heroes like Rudolf had to rise to defend their homes no matter the cost. #TGK #Africa #AfricanHistory #GermanKingSeries #RealStory #TVseries

We all know that The German King team loves elephants, but we draw the line on using real ivory in our show. However, look at the amazing work our prop team has done with fiberglass! #TGK #MovieProps #Africa #AfricanElephants #GermanKingSeries

Lock Priso was eventually overcome by the Germans and his people were forced to sign a forced peace treaty on 13 January 1885. Still, he is a hero in Cameroon for his courage and willingness to fight with his people. #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #GermanKingSeries #Africa

Rudolf Duala Manga Bell, Hendrik Witbooi, Kaipkire and many others longed for peace but were forced to defend their home and their people. They bought that peace, sometimes with their lives. #TGK #Africa #BlackHistoryMonth #GermanKingSeries #BlackHistory

There’s always more to learn during #BlackHistoryMonth. Hendrik Witbooi came from a lineage of Nama Chiefs and defended modern-day Namibia from the Germans. Despite being a warrior, Hendrik was known for carrying his bible as well as his gun. #GermanKingSeries #BlackHistory

Little can stop someone who is desperate to defend their home. Kaiser Wilhelm II realized this when he killed Rudolf, but what did not occur to him was that the ideas do not die with the victim. #GermanKingSeries #TVseries #BlackHistoryMonth #TGK #BlackHistory #RealStory #Africa

Though the Ashanti are no longer the great empire they were were centuries back, they still honor and cherish the traditions of their ancestors. The Golden Stool is still visible at the heart of the Ashanti flag and its people. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory #Africa #RealStory
