[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On March 5, 1959, a devastating fire broke out at the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville, Arkansas, a state-run institution where young Black boys were sent by the state. That night, 69 boys were inside a dormitory when a fire suddenly broke out, turning what should have been a place of care and rehabilitation into a scene of tragedy.

As the fire spread through the building, the boys struggled to escape. Reports later revealed that the dormitory doors had been secured, making it difficult for the boys to get out as smoke and flames filled the building. By the time the fire was over, 21 boys had died. Another 48 managed to escape.

The tragedy brought national attention to the conditions inside the institution. Accounts of the dormitory described severely overcrowded living conditions, with the boys sleeping extremely close together and having little space to move. Their bathroom facilities were also reportedly inadequate, with a bucket used for human waste in the corner of the sleeping area. These conditions raised serious questions about how the boys were being treated and the level of care provided by the state.

The fire also prompted questions about the building itself, safety procedures, supervision and why the boys were unable to escape quickly. For many observers, the tragedy reflected wider problems within segregated institutions across the United States during the mid-20th century, where Black children and adults were frequently subjected to inferior facilities and unequal treatment.

What makes the history even more striking is what happened to the site afterward. The land where the Negro Boys Industrial School once stood is now part of the Arkansas Department of Correction's Wrightsville Unit. For decades, there was little public recognition of the boys who died there. It was not until 2019, sixty years after the fire, that a historical plaque was finally placed at the site to acknowledge the tragedy.

The 21 boys who died were more than a number in a historical account. They were children whose lives ended in circumstances that raised profound questions about institutional responsibility, safety and the treatment of Black youth. Remembering Wrightsville means remembering not only the fire itself, but also the conditions that existed before it and the questions about accountability that followed.

The Wrightsville fire remains one of the lesser-known tragedies in Black American history, but it is a story worth remembering because history is not only about famous figures and major political events. Sometimes it is also about the young lives lost in places that society failed to protect.

Kenyans once ignored the history and record of a very dark & dangerous man before handing him the keys to the most powerful office in the country.

Four years on, many Kenyans can barely recognise their own country, the economy has failed, public institution have collapsed, all sectors are on life support as govt increases its expenditure and billions of funds cannot be traced and have disappeared into private accounts!!

May we never again ignore the history, record and character of those seeking to lead Kenya.

And if you look at the history of H.E Edwin Watenya Sifuna you will truly see and know he is the only man who can restore this country to its glory!

Sisi Ndio Sifuna.
