The Saddest Moment Ever in History 🧵⚠️
(Don’t scroll if you’re soft-hearted)
1/ This heartbreaking image shows Aboriginal men in chains at Wyndham Prison, Australia.
Not criminals — just victims of colonial brutality, removed from their lands, stripped of dignity.
2/ These were proud people — hunters, storytellers, guardians of the land.
They weren’t treated as humans, but as “problems” to be “controlled.”
Their only fault? Being born Indigenous.
3/ Australia’s colonization wasn’t just about land.
It was about erasing a people, their culture, their identity — with chains, with forced removals, with silence.
4/ Even today, Aboriginal communities face systemic injustice — overrepresentation in prisons, poor healthcare access, and stolen generations echo on.
5/ This photo is not just history.
It’s a reminder.
Of what was done.
Of what should never be done again.
