As a Black man and an African I’ve come to realise the true African heroes who ought to be celebrated, Heroes who have sacrifice alot for the struggle to liberate Africans from mental slavery through their words and actions
Now I know those who died for me and for all Black race. Not forgetting my ancestors who led down their l!ves, did everything humanly possible so I may exist today.
These great individuals on this list and thousands more not mentioned, gave up their freedom so we can be free, they d.!ed so we can live, they were humi|iated so we can have dignity, they were d!$graced, so we can have some pride.
But how many young Black People today know about these individuals and the sacrifices they made for Black race❓
• Marcus Garvey
• Malcolm x
• Martin Luther king Jr
• Fred Hampton
• Mark Clerk
• John Huggins
• Huey P. Newton
• Apprentice Carter
• Steve Biko
• Thomas Sankara
• Amilcar Cabral
• Christopher Okikpo
• Kwame Nkrumah
• Nelson Mandela
We’ve seen the Black panther movie, though it’s a sci fi, but we were all intrigued, me included. But let’s remember the real Black panthers (Black Panther Party), Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Fred Hampton, Mark clerk, Stockely Carmichael, Angela Davies, Asata Shakur, Kathleen Cleaver, Elain Brown Etc. Many of them died in the struggle for Black freedom, many are still in exile today.
Black People,give honour to whom honour is due. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery as our past heroes have done their best to put us on the right track! Ase!!!
Rest in power Malcolm x , Luther King, Thomas Sankara, Steve Biko, Patrice Lumumba,Marcus Garvey, Tom Mboya, Amilcar Cabral, Muammar Gadaffi, Robert Sobukwe, Josina Samora, All Mau Mau freedom fighters, Yaa Asantewaa. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
African Voice.
