Algiers the revolutionaries’ Mecca. A documentary in French made in 2017 about the role of Algeria helping other countries gain their independence after gaining its own independence in 1962.

“Muslims go to Mecca, Christians go to the Vatican and the revolutionary movement go to Algiers” Amilcar Cabral (the leader of the movement of liberation for Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde)

“A few months only after its independence Algeria open its doors to all the wretched of the earth. […] The first movement of liberation welcomed in Algeria is Nelson Mandela’s ANC. They are joined by representatives of Namibia and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). They all fight against a power held by white people that exclude the Black majority. […] The next year other African movement of liberation join the Algerian capital, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, Angola. An activist solidarity move those groups of liberation all supported financially by Algeria who also give them military and diplomatic support. […] For the Algerian Ben Bella newly Independent African countries must give more support to those still fighting.”

“We fought for 7 and a half year against the most obstinate imperialism that ever existed. We have no right to just think about ourselves when people are dying in Angola, Mozambique and South Africa. But there is a price to pay. If we want our solidarity to be effective then we have to accept to all make sacrifices for African unity to not be a vain word.” Ahmed Ben Bella (first Algerian president)

The documentary also mentions Palestine, Vietnam and the Black Panthers (how they were welcomed and how it eventually ended bitterly (I personally understand both sides I understand why the Black Panthers hijacked a plane but I also understand why Algeria reacted badly because they were not told about it first so they were unable to prepare themselves to the potential violent reaction of the US). Algeria is not perfect we have a lot of issues but when it comes to the support against oppression against imperialism and colonialism I will forever be proud of where Algeria stands.

103 years ago, Marcus Garvey created The Pan-African/Black Liberation flag.

Garvey was the father of the black nationalist and pan african movements, activist & founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL)

Color Meaning:

Red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation;

Black: for the people whose existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag.

Green: the abundant and vibrant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland.

•••

Garvey fue el padre de los movimientos nacionalistas negros y panafricanos, activista y fundador de la Asociación Universal para el Mejoramiento de los Negros y la Liga de Comunidades Africanas (UNIA-ACL).

Quote

What is Africa to me? Once I should have answered the question simply: I should have said 'fatherland' or perhaps better 'motherland' because I was born in the century when walls of race were clear and straight; when the world consisted of mutually exclusive races; and even though the edges might be blurred, there was no question of exact definition and understanding of the meaning of the word. […] Since then the concept of race has so changed and presented so much of contradiction that as I face Africa I ask myself: what is it between us that constitutes a tie which I can feel better than I can explain? Africa is, of course, my fatherland. Yet neither my father nor my father's father ever saw Africa or knew its meaning or cared overmuch for it. My mother's folk were closer and yet their direct connection, in culture and race, became tenuous; still, my tie to Africa is strong. On this vast continent were born and lived a large portion of my direct ancestors going back a thousand years or more. The mark of their heritage is upon me in color and hair. These are obvious things, but of little meaning in themselves; only important as they stand for real and more subtle differences from other men. Whether they do or not, I do not know nor does science know today. But one thing is sure and that is the fact that since the fifteenth century these ancestors of mine and their other descendants have had a common history; have suffered a common disaster and have one long memory. The actual ties of heritage between the individuals of this group, vary with the ancestors that they have in common and many others: Europeans and Semites, perhaps Mongolians, certainly American Indians. But the physical bond is least and the badge of color relatively unimportant save as a badge; the real essence of this kinship is its social heritage of slavery; the discrimination and insult; and this heritage binds together not simply the children of Africa, but extends through yellow Asia and into the South Seas. It is this unity that draws me to Africa.

W. E. B. Du Bois, Dusk of Dawn: An Essay Toward an Autobiography of a Race Concept (1940)

Peace and Love, Black Family! I’m sure that even Dr. Ivan Van Sertima would agree that the colors in OUR Pan-Afrikan flag meant more than what we attribute to them on face value! Did you know that at one time that the Egyptian flag was red, black, (green) and white? The existence and prominence of these Pan-Afrikan colors have so much history to them. Of course, Egypt is so whitewashed now that we don’t see or sense the “Blackness” of AfRaKan life as we probably could in its glory days of Kemet! If you represent the Pan-AfRaKan flag with pride, keep it held high and know that it was here from Day 1! Our blood. Our people/melanin. Our land/🌍. GET ON CODE. STAY ON CODE.🩸💣🔫✊🏾 BLACK POWER! #red #black #green #power #love #man #woman #panafrican #panafricanism #drivanvansertima #egypt #kemet #african #history #truth #hieroglyphics #papyrus #pre #colonial #mystery #schools #enlightenment #garvey #unity #malikismindful https://www.instagram.com/p/CifEUhDOPrekWY7fFATlZsHwd46SdaEPCsr4580/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As a major force behind the modern Pan-African movement and one of the founders in 1963 of the OAU, Nyerere was a key figure in African events in the 1970s. He was a strong advocate of economic and political measures in dealing with the apartheid policies of South Africa. #JuliusNyerere TheJNLC #africa #panafrican #eastafrica #panafricanism #eastafrican #tanzania #kenya #uganda #rwanda #daressalaam #eac #nairobi #zanzibar #africandiaspora #africanhistory #nyerere https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWUWKQqHJG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Why do people like to minimise the effects of the Slave Trade on pre colonial Africa's political and social activities considering that the slave trade lasted 400 years??

Short Answer: White people minimize the effects because their wealth and power is rooted in Colonization and Slavery and they wish to perpetuate the myth that their wealth is rooted in innovation and good governance. Fully acknowledging he effects would also demonstrate the enormous dept the West owes to Africa and Africans; it would explode the lie that Africa and Africans are in debt to our White oppressors. Black people minimize the effects because of the pain and shame we feel having been colonized and enslaved. Also, acknowledging our oppression leaves us in the position of challenging it or admitting that we are willing to summit to it; minimizing & denial allows us to submit to White Hegemony and Oppression while pretending that were striving, succeeding, and advancing in our personal lives.
