Un 30 de junio de 1960, la República Democrática del Congo, de la mano del lider anticolonial Patrice Lumumba, anuncian su independencia del imperio belga tras más de 75 años de sometimiento y 15 millones de congoleños asesinados.

Lumumba dio un discurso histórico, donde se negó a ser títere y pagar ninguna deuda colonial al imperialismo, que tanto masacró su pais... ni tampoco iba a permitir que se siguiera saqueando los recursos del Congo.

Desde este mismo dia, el imperialismo con Bélgica y EEUU a la cabeza, firmaron su sentencia de muerte.

El imperialismo quería seguir saqueando los vastos recursos del Congo como fuese, pretendía instaurar un régimen marioneta y que el Congo pagara una deuda externa colonialista inventada como pago por su independencia... Lumumba se negó, por ello sería descuartizado y disuelto en ácido por Bélgica y EEUU apenas unos 6 meses después.

The Battle of Bamber Bridge, 1943.

Racist US military police attacked black US troops on British soil.

US military authorities demanded the town’s pubs impose a colour bar, the local landlords responded with signs that read “Black Troops Only” which pissed them off.

He was an avid photographer of civil rights injustice and an early pioneer to hold up a mirror to discrimination, segregation and inequality.
