The Timeless Wisdom of African Sayings and Proverbs. 1.”Teeth do not see poverty”. Even when circumstances are dire, people still manage to find something to smile about. 2.”Only a fool tests the depth of a river with both feet”. Don’t leap into a situation without first thinking about the consequences. 3.”Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped”. Rather than dwelling on your mistake, look at what caused you to make the mistake. 4.”The best way to eat an elephant is to cut him up into little pieces”. The best way to solve a problem is to tackle it bit by bit, one step at a time. 5.”He who does not know one thing knows another”. No one can know everything but everyone knows something. 6.”Rain beats the leopards skin but it does not wash out the spots”. No matter how hard you try, you cannot change another person’s character. Similarly, if you behave badly and develop a poor reputation, it’s difficult to change other people’s opinions of you, regardless of how many good deeds you perform. 7.”No matter how hot your anger is, it cannot cook yams”. While anger can prompt a positive action that may resolve an issue, the act of getting angry resolves nothing. 8.”A roaring lion kills no game”. Sitting around and talking about something gains nothing. The saying also implies that you should work towards your goals quietly rather than bragging about your achievements prematurely 9.”Do not call the forest that shelters you a jungle”. Do not disrespect or insult someone who shares your burdens and responsibilities or who takes care of you. 10.”Rain does not fall on one roof alone”. Trouble does not discriminate. It comes to everyone at some point. 11.”Ears that do not listen to advice, accompany the head when it is chopped off”. A person who does not heed advice will suffer the consequences. 12.”Not everyone who chased the zebra caught it, but he who caught it, chased it”. To achieve a result one must put in effort. #blackhistory #knowthyself #blackhistory365 #blackhistoryfacts https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkZiqUDKCaKqlUt4S4vWH0IovnClTfoSvlDVU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Sharpeville Massacre occurred on 21st March, 1960, in the township of Sharpeville, South Africa. It resulted in the largest number of South African deaths (up to that point) in a protest against apartheid.

Sharpeville, a black suburb outside of Vereeniging (about 50 miles south of Johannesburg), was untouched by anti-apartheid demonstrations that occurred in surrounding towns throughout the 1950s. By 1960, however, anti-apartheid activism reached the town.

In March 1960, Robert Sobukwe, a leader in the anti-apartheid Pan-Africanist Congress organized the town's first anti-apartheid protest. In order to reduce the possibility of violence, he wrote a letter to the police commissioner to emphasize that it would be non-violent.

On March 21, an estimated 7,000 South Africans gathered in front of the Sharpeville police station to protest against the restrictive pass laws. Nearly 300 police officers arrived to put an end to the peaceful protest.

As they attempted to disperse the crowd, a police officer was knocked down and many in the crowd began to move forward to see what had happened. Police witnesses claimed that stones were thrown, and in a panicked reaction, they opened fire.

As the protesters tried to flee the violent scene, police continued to shoot into the crowd.

The police version, only 69 Africans were killed and 186 were wounded, with most shot in the back.

The Sharpeville Massacre awakened the international community to the horrors of apartheid. The massacre also sparked hundreds of mass protests by black South Africans.

On March 30, the South African government declared a state of emergency which made any protest illegal. The ban remained in effect until August 31, 1960. During those five months roughly 25,000 people were arrested throughout the nation.

The government's repressive measures intensified and expended the opposition to apartheid, ushering in three decades of resistance & protest

With the election of Nelson Mandela as president of South Africa in 1994, the apartheid system ended. In 1994, Mandela signed the nation's first post-apartheid constitution near the site of the 1960 massacre.

La Masacre de Sharpeville sucedió el 21 de marzo de 1960, en el municipio de Sharpeville, Sudáfrica. Resultó en la mayor cantidad de muertes de sudafricanos (hasta ese punto) en un protesta en contra de la segregación racial.

Sharpeville, un suburbio habitado por personas negras en las afueras de Vereeniging (cincuenta millas al sur de Johannesburg), había permanecido intacto de las demostraciones anti-segregadoras que estaban ocurriendo en ciudades cercanas a lo largo de los 1950. En 1960, el activismo anti segregacionista llegó a la ciudad.

En marzo de 1960, Robert Sobukwe, un lider del Congreso Panafricano Anti-Segregacionista organizó la primera protesta anti segregacional. Para poder reducir la posibilidad de violencia, le escribió una carta al comisionado de la policía para enfatizar que seria una protesta pacífica.

El 21 de marzo, alrededor de 7,000 sudafricanos se reunieron en frente de la estación policial de Sharpeville para protestar en contra de las leyes restrictivas de paso (desplazamiento). Alrededor de 300 policías llegaron para poner fin a la protesta.

Mientras intentaban dispersar a la multitud, un oficial de policía fue derribado y muchos en la multitud comenzaron a acercarse para ver qué había sucedido. Testigos policiales afirmaron que se arrojaron piedras y, en una reacción de pánico, abrieron fuego. Mientras los protestantes estaban tratando de huir de la escena violenta, la policía siguió disparando contra la multitud.

Según la versión policial, 69 africanos fueron asesinados y 186 resultaron heridos, la mayoría disparados en la espalda.

La Masacre de Sharpeville despertó a la comunidad internacional a los horrores de la segregación racial. La masacre también provocó cientos de protestas masivas de sudafricanos negros.

El 30 de marzo, el gobierno sudafricano declaró un estado de emergencia, lo cual hizo que cualquier protesta fuese ilegal. La prohibición duró hasta el 31 de agosto de 1960. Durante esos cinco meses alrededor de 25,000 personas fueron arrestadas a lo largo de la nación.

Las medidas represivas del gobierno intensificaron y expandieron la oposición a la segregación racial, dando paso a tres décadas de resistencia y protesta.

Con la elección de Nelson Mandela como presidente de Sudáfrica en 1994, el sistema segregacional terminó. En 1994, Mándela firmó la primera constitución post segregación racial, cerca del lugar donde sucedió la masacre del año 1960.

Black history month interesting info:

 According to an Antebellum-era legend, hush puppies got their name when people escaping slavery wanted to keep any watch dogs silent. They would throw or drop the fried cornmeal balls to keep any dog’s attention on the food and away from the fleeing person.

The Legend of Bass Reeves: The Black Cowboy Who Inspired a Generation

The Legend of Bass Reeves: The Black Cowboy Who Inspired a Generation

Bass Reeves was born into slavery in Arkansas in 1838 and spent much of his early life working on plantations. However, after the Civil War, he was given his freedom and he moved to the Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma. In the late 1800s, he became a U.S. Marshal, and his exceptional skills as a lawman quickly made him one of the most respected law enforcement officers of his time.

Reeves became a lawman after he was appointed as a deputy U.S. Marshal by Judge Isaac Parker, who was known for his harsh sentences in the Indian Territory. Judge Parker chose Reeves for his exceptional skills as a marksman and his knowledge of the territory, as well as his ability to speak several Native American languages fluently. In addition, Reeves was known for his courage and integrity, which made him well-respected among both white settlers and Native American communities.

Throughout his 32-year career, Reeves arrested more than 3,000 felons, including some of the most notorious outlaws of the Wild West. He was known for his ability to track down fugitives, using his extensive knowledge of the territory and his ability to blend in with the local populations. He was also known for his unwavering dedication to justice, even in the face of danger, and his reputation as a fair and impartial lawman.

It's no secret that the "Lone Ranger" was heavily influenced by the real-life stories of figures like Bass Reeves. The character, first introduced in a 1933 radio series, embodies many of the traits that made Reeves such a remarkable figure, including his e

Despite this, the character is portrayed as a white man and never mentions or references Reeves, despite the fact that the two are inextricably linked in the annals of Western folklore.

my current independent video game project

For young Africans in Nigeria and other countries, hearing about Bass Reeves and his legacy is an inspiring reminder of the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and make a lasting impact on the world.

But the story of Bass Reeves is not just a source of inspiration for young people. It is also a valuable reminder of the rich and complex history of black Americans, who have made countless contributions to the building of this nation, despite the many obstacles they have faced along the way.

As we move forward into a new era of black empowerment, it is more important than ever to remember and celebrate the heroes of our past. Bass Reeves is one of these heroes, and his story is a testament to the resilience, courage, and determination that have been hallmarks of the black experience in America.

So, let us remember Bass Reeves this Black History Month and celebrate the legacy of this true American hero, who made a lasting impact on the Wild West and the nation as a whole.
