Robert Sobukwe wasn’t erased from history because he was a "criminal." He was erased because he was UNCOMPROMISING. He didn’t negotiate with apartheid or beg for inclusion in a white supremacist system—he demanded **total liberation**.
Sobukwe said: 𝐈𝐳𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐮! The Land is Ours —not theirs to share, lease, or reform. He exposed the lie of multiracialism as a tool to protect stolen land and wealth under a new mask. His vision struck fear into both apartheid AND global imperialists.
That’s why you won’t find his speeches or recordings today. The system feared his ideas more than his actions. He was silenced, isolated, and edited out of history because his message — "Africa for Africans" — is as dangerous now as it was then.
Even today, Sobukwe’s legacy is inconvenient. The land remains stolen. The wealth remains in the hands of the elite. And those who "freed" us embraced the very system he fought to dismantle.
𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐛𝐮𝐤𝐰𝐞. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐣𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝. They erased him so you wouldn’t ask the questions he forced on them: *Who owns the land? Who controls the wealth?*
Until we answer those, "freedom" is a lie.
I’ve received so many DMs about this. Guys, there’s money in online teaching, I won’t lie but also you need to put in the work. Here, I will share which platform I’m currently using and how I did it. I believe if you want it, you can do it too. So here goes 🧵
🙏🏿Take the time to watch this in honor of #MichaelaDePrince. Though she grew up in the ashes of unimaginable horror, pain, & tragedy, like dust she rose. Fo her life to end so abruptly at the age of 29 is heart wrenching. How can life be so cruel!😔💔💔😞
More than 30 years ago, Mmakgabo Sebidi sent a body of work to Sweden, with the promise of an exhibition.
Months later she was told the works were gone. Probably stolen.
Then, in 2023, a caretaker opened a cupboard & found a dusty roll of paintings.
They came home.
Tsietsi Mashinini was 33 years old when he died in exile in Conakry, Guinea on this day in 1990. His death came 5 months after the unbanning of the liberation organisations. The details surrounding his death remain a mystery.
The Special Rapporteur on the right to health, @drtlaleng, calls for an end to the "war on drugs."
In her latest report to the @UN Human Rights Council, she asks States to adopt a human rights-based approach to drug policy.

Josephine Baker was born on this day in 1906. She was described as “The most sensational woman anybody ever saw or ever will.”
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Josephine experienced poverty in childhood, living in cardboard shelters in the slums and dancing on the street to make money. However, the street dancing turned into performing in a vaudeville act, as she pestered a show manager for a role. For that show, she traveled to New York, and her career had begun.
While performing in New York was a good start, her big break came in Paris, where she moved in her late teens to leave the racism of America. In Paris, she thrived. Her dancing life found much success. And it was also while living in Europe that Josephine evolved her artistic career into singing and acting.
Josephine continued to live in Europe. Even as World War II involved France, she chose to stay, joining the French Military Intelligence Agency. In her role with the agency, she used her entertainer status to travel around Europe. And with charm, she engaged others, collecting valuable information, often keeping notes in invisible ink on sheet music.
After the war, Josephine took a more active role in the U.S. Civil Rights movement. She wrote articles about segregation, worked closely with NAACP, spoke at the 1963 March on Washington, and refused to perform in segregated venues - a stance that helped drive integration. It was also during her years of working in the Civil Rights movement that Josephine began adopting children, calling her family the "Rainbow Tribe," as her children were of different races and ethnicities.
Josephine passed away in Paris in 1975. France honored her with a state funeral; she is the only American-born woman to receive this honor.
