As the current administration in #SierraLeone praises itself for receiving congratulatory messages from #Russia, these are the messages coming out from longtime allies. It’s clear that Bio x his gvt only care about “running” the country & not its future #SierraLeonedecides2023

[Ishmael Beah @IshmaelBeah]

Sierra Leone deserves true democracy, not a travesty with politicians controlling every sector of life from media, to arts & now shockingly votes. Am urging activists, artists & thinkers to stand up & denounce gross violation of human rights in our nation

A sundown or sunset town was a town, city, or neighborhood in the US that excluded non-whites after dark.

The term sundown came from the signs that were posted stating that people of color had to leave the town by sundown.

“fuck it, i’ll do it!” —black women

Black women are routinely erased from public memory and historical narratives of resistance.

Black women powered the civil rights movement, but rarely became its stars. #InternationalWomensDay
