“ It looked very different from the Statue of Liberty, but what did that matter? What was the good of having the statue without the liberty, the freedom to go where one chose if one was held back by one's color? No, I preferred the Eiffel Tower, which made no promises." -J Baker

@nettieb @KimMarieWalker @nettieb, you have created something extraordinary. It has touched me deeply. I specialize in Black heritage tours, about the expatriates who relocated to Paris for awhile or forever. We bring back to light works that have been forgotten. But maybe there's an additional way...

Endometriosis: 1 in 10 women suffer from it. I was one of those ppl who said 'Endo-what?'. Then my 31-yr old daughter was diagnosed. I see the constant pain. We need dedicated centers in least every province of Canada. Sooner rather than later. Thanks to @DonDavies for the Bill.

In 1810, indigenous #Khoekhoe woman Sara Baartman was taken from Southern Africa and paraded on European stages as part of a freakshow. Only in 2002 were her remains brought back from Paris and buried in her ancestral home... (1)

Be sure to watch the gripping 'Fighting For Respect-African American Soldiers in WW1 France'.They willingly fought for democracy abroad yet were treated to violent and murderous reprisals when they returned home during the Red Summer of 1919.

This is one of the most edifying posts and comments thread I've read recently. The knowledge and wisdom that Black women brought with them when enslaved. But also the assumptions that the enslaved were empty-headed tools.
