When you hear of Death Camps and Genocide, Nazi Germany and world war two come to mind. But Germany had practiced it’s murderous craft over sixty years before WWll. Before the Armenian Genocide, before the Jewish Genocide over 150,000 Herero and Nama peoples of modern-day Namibia were murdered by the order of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany between 1904 and 1909.
 
Before he died, he gave several interviews on his experiences including one to the writer Zora Neale Hurston. During her interview in 1928, she made a short film of Cudjoe, the only moving image that exists in the Western Hemisphere of an African transported through the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

I want it.

I don't care if it's digital, televised, or a copied beta max - I want this interview.

Rebecca Ann Latimer Felton, the first female US Senator. She served two days in office, November 21st, 1922 to November 22nd, 1922.

She said that in order to protect white women from black men, one thousand black men should be lynched a week to prevent rape and protect white womanhood.

“If it takes lynching to protect women’s dearest possession from drunken, ravening beasts,” she said, “then I say lynch a thousand a week.”

Aditi (अदिति “she who has no limits”), also known as Lajja Gauri, the uttānapad “she who crouches with legs spread”.

In the first age of the gods, existence was born from non-existence.
The quarters of the sky were born from Her who crouched with legs spread.
The earth was born from Her who crouched with legs spread,
And from the earth the quarters of the sky were born.
Rig Veda, 10.72.3-4


“Aditi is heaven Aditi is the mid-world
Aditi is the mother earth; Aditi is the father and son.
She is (collectively) all the Gods; She is 5 peoples;
Aditi is all that is born and yet to be born.”

I just went through all 79 pages of this amazing thread on my phone because I couldn't put it down. The last thing I wanted to see was this picture about the origin on the word Redskins. As a skins fan I rack my brain trying to think of a name that they can use and still keep their logo for merchandise. I personally don't think they will ever change the name but I definitely KNOW its wrong.

This conversation should be used for another thread but again, thanks whomever stated this thread. The things that I learned and seen tonight was amazing! Thanks again BGOL.

Ancient Egyptian GOLD RING OF SHESHONQ
26th Dynasty, 6th Century BC

This heavy gold ring of the priestly official, Sheshonq, is a stirrup shaped signet. This type of ring was developed from the rigid-bezel ring of the Middle Kingdom. The lozenge shaped bezel is incised with the name and titles of the owner, which included the office of Chief Steward. The bezel could be pressed into hot wax to seal documents and letters. Besides this functional aspect, the ring was no doubt worn as a mark of Sheshonq’s status and wealth. The name ‘Sheshonq’ is of Libyan origin, belonging to several kings of the Libyan Period, but became popular among Egyptians from that time onwards.

Mother Mary Seacole:

She was a Jamaican nurse best known for her involvement in the Crimean War, who set up and operated boarding houses in Panama and the Crimea to assist in her desire to treat the sick. She was taught herbal remedies and folk medicine by her mother, who kept a boarding house for disabled European soldiers and sailors.
Seacole was honoured in her lifetime, alongside Florence Nightingale, but after her death she was forgotten for almost a century. Today, she is noted for her bravery and medical skills and as “a woman who succeeded despite the racial prejudice of influential sections of Victorian society”.
In Gorgona, Seacole established a women-only hotel and continued to treat the sick.
Her autobiography, Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands (1857), is a vivid account of her experiences, one of the earliest autobiographies of a mixed-race woman and the first autobiography written by a black woman in Britain.
She applied to the War Office and asked to be sent as an army assistant to the Crimea, but was refused, mainly because of prejudice against women’s involvement in medicine at the time. The British Government later decided to permit women to travel to the affected area, but she was not included in the party of 38 nurses chosen by Florence Nightingale. Instead, she borrowed money to make the 4,000-mile (about 6500 km) journey by herself. She distinguished herself treating battlefield wounded, often nursing wounded soldiers from both sides while under fire. (At a meeting with Florence Nightingale, her help was refused.)
The Special Correspondent of The Times newspaper wrote approvingly of her work:”…Mrs. Seacole…doctors and cures all manner of men with extraordinary success. She is always in attendance near the battle-field to aid the wounded, and has earned many a poor fellow’s blessings.”
When the conflict ended in 1856 she found herself stranded and almost destitute, and was only saved from adversity by friends from the Crimean War who organised a benefit concert.
By 1870, she was back in London, drawn back by the prospect of rendering medical assistance in the Franco-Prussian War. It seems likely that she approached Sir Harry Verney (the husband of Florence Nightingale’s sister) who was closely involved in the British National Society for the Relief of the Sick and Wounded. It was at this time Nightingale wrote her letter to Verney insinuating that Seacole had kept a “bad house” in Crimea, and was responsible for “much drunkenness and improper conduct”.
She was posthumously awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit in 1991. The headquarters of the Jamaican General Trained Nurses’ Association was christened “Mary Seacole House” in 1954, followed quickly by the naming of a hall of residence of the University of the West Indies in Mona, Jamaica. A ward at Kingston Public Hospital was also named in her memory.
She was voted into first place in an online poll of 100 Great Black Britons in 2004. The portrait identified as Seacole in 2005 was used for one of ten first-class stamps showing important Britons, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the National Portrait Gallery.
British buildings and organisations now commemorate her by name. One of the first was the Mary Seacole Centre for Nursing Practice at Thames Valley University, which created the NHS Specialist Library for Ethnicity and Health, a web-based collection of research-based evidence and good practice information relating to the health needs of minority ethnic groups, and other resources relevant to multi-cultural health care.
An annual prize to recognise and develop leadership in nurses, midwives and health visitors in the National Health Service was named Seacole, to “acknowledge her achievements”.

Yessir, piece of my heritage there

Cudjoe Lewis is believed to be the last African born on African soil and brought to the United States by the transatlantic slave trade. He was a native of Takon, Benin, where he was captured in 1860 during an illegal slave-trading venture. Congress outlawed the importation of slaves in 1808. Together with more than a hundred other captured Africans, he was brought on the ship Clotilde to Mobile, Alabama. Cudjoe and 31 other enslaved Africans were taken to the property owned by Timothy Meaher, shipbuilder and owner of the Clotilde. 5 years later slavery was over so Cudjoe and his tribespeople requested to be taken back to Africa, but it was left ignored. He and other Africans established a community near Mobile, Alabama which became called Africatown. They maintained their African language and tribal customs well into the 1950s. He died in 1934 at the age of 94. Before he died, he gave several interviews on his experiences including one to the writer Zora Neale Hurston. During her interview in 1928, she made a short film of Cudjoe, the only moving image that exists in the Western Hemisphere of an African transported through the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

I have to visit this place.

Cetshwayo kaMpande and the Anglo-Zulo War.

Cetshwayo kaMpande was the King of the Zulu Kingdom from 1872 to 1879 and their furious leader during the Anglo-Zulo War. Considered by many historians to be the last King of the Zulu Kingdom (modern day South Africa) Cetshwayo is mostly remembered for his outstanding victory against the British Empire in the Battle of Isandlwana.

The British Empire would ultimately defeat the Zulu Kingdom in the Anglo-Zulo War, but nevertheless Cetshwayo kaMpande is honored for his short-lived triumph against the much more advanced British Empire.

Slave Trade From Africa to the Americas

Slave trade routes from Africa to the Americas during the period 1650-1860 are shown. There were additional routes to the New World from Mozambique, Zanzibar and Madagascar on the east side of Africa. Most of the slaves from the east side were brought to Portuguese controlled Salvador in the state of Bahia, Brazil, along with many other slaves from Angola. Brazil received more slaves from Africa than any other country in the New World. The 500,000 African slaves sent to America represents 10% of the number sent to Brazil, and 11% of the number sent to the West Indies.

According to the estimates of Hugh Thomas (12), a total of 11,128,000 African slaves were delivered live to the New World, including 500,000 to British North America; therefore, only 4.5% of the total African slaves delivered to the New World were delivered to British North America. Also from Hugh Thomas, the major sources of the 13 million slaves departing from Africa (see slave ports map, above) were Congo/Angola (3 million), Gold Coast (1.5 million), Slave Coast (2 million), Benin to Calabar* (2 million), and Mozambique/Madagascar on the east coast of Africa (1 million).

*Benin refers to the historic Kingdom of Benin (not to be confused with today’s country of Benin), in Nigeria just below the Slave Coast. Calabar is farther down the coast of Nigeria, close to the border with Cameroon, on the Bight of Biafra in the Gulf of Guinea (see Nigeria today map, below).

Legacy Survey Reveals Dark Secrets of the Universe

Astronomers from France and Canada have publicly released the final version of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS), a unique and powerful multi-color collection of data obtained over 6 years from the summit of Mauna Kea.

Image: This tiny fraction of a CFHTLS Deep field reveals a wallpaper pattern of galaxies. At least a thousand distant galaxies can be identified on this image as little fuzzy dots (the crossed type disks are foreground stars from our own Galaxy). The entire CFHTLS revealed tens of millions galaxies like these. © CFHT / Coelum

The imaging project probes an extremely large volume of the Universe, gathering tens of millions of galaxies, some as far as 9 billion light-years away, and provides a treasure trove for many years of astronomical research. This remarkable collection of data is a landmark achievement for CFHT and has inspired observatories around the world.

The large number of published results from these images include dark matter maps on the largest scale ever observed and the first high-quality measurements which showed that dark energy closely resembles the cosmological constant that Albert Einstein predicted, but later thought might have been his greatest mistake.

hog fat gets 3000% props once again for this thread.. can't stress that shit enough

and as far as this image I can stare at that shit all time and only image whats out there
