1/ Borrell's Garden perpetrated unspeakable atrocities on Africans & other indigenous populations: genocide, slavery, colonialism, nuclear bombs, agent orange! And now they want the world to accept them as paragons of decency!

Shameless.
2/ The Garden People took a Congolese Pygmy by the name Ota Benga and kept him in a Bronx Zoo Monkey House. He committed suicide in 1916.
3/ In 1958, as part of Expo 58, Belgium put 598 people – including 273 men, 128 women and 197 children, a total of 183 families – brought over from Africa on display. The spectators "threw money or bananas over the closure of bamboo,” one journalist wrote at the time.
