Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions Image
picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.

Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind
braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees...

On June 5, 1967, Israel launched surprise strikes against Egyptian airfields in response to the mobilisation of Egyptian forces on the Israeli border which sparked the Six-Day War. Image
The Six-Day War was fought between June 5 and 10, 1967, by Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt (known at the time as the United Arab Republic), Jordan, and Syria.
In the period leading up to June 1967, tensions became dangerously heightened. Israel reiterated its post-1956 position that the closure of the straits of Tiran to its shipping would be a casus belli.

The ancient name of Africa was Alkebulan. Alkebu-lan “mother of mankind” or “garden of Eden”.” Alkebulan is the oldest and the only word of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians), and Ethiopians.
The word Africa came into existence in the late 17th Century, it was used to only refer to the northern part of the continent. Around that time, the Northern continent had been colonized, and the Europeans ruled over its people as slaves.
They influenced the change of identity from Alkebulan to Africa. But Before the European settled for the word Africa, the continent was called many other names. They include Corphye, Ortegia, Libya, and Ethiopia.

How the only biological son of Roman general Julius Caesar became the last pharaoh of Egypt #Thread

At age three, Caesarion, the alleged love child of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, was already co-king of Egypt. He became his mother’s co-ruler just months after his alleged father, Julius Caesar, had been assassinated. But his rule was short-lived.
Believed to be the only biological son of the most powerful man in Rome, Caesarion was seen as a threat to Rome’s greatness, thus, his adoptive brother had him killed, shortly after the death of his mom, Cleopatra.
