At least 100 million Africans died and were killed during the #MiddlePassage kidnapping from Africa to the Americas. Fathers, Mothers, sons, daughters, Doctors, Teachers etc. on their way to #Slavery Reposted from @motownson (@get_regrann) - It is IMPERATIVE that we think of + honor our Ancestors that didn’t make it to the shores of the places where we landed outside of our beloved Motherland Africa. They weren’t/aren’t weaker than those Ancestors that did. We are all forever connected. Their Spirits have been protecting the waters between Africa and the rest of the world where we ALL are! ❣️ Whether born on the continent or still accepting that your roots are African ... those water angels connect us. They are in the threshold and we give thanks. We love them. We are them. What do you feel? Do you (ever) think about them? What have you thought about? Thinking about? 🎤😊💞🌊 Be blessed familia. 🙏🏿💌 #egungun #veryconnected #1619 #asaseyaa #yemanja #mamiwata #olokun #soulfie Artist: Unknown - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B4smsPBDrwr/?igshid=540eeochcqmf

#NoJusticeNoProfit @Regrann from @theveryblackproject - “It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.” – James Baldwin . Picture: James Baldwin (August 2, 1924 – December 1, 1987) and his brother, David, Paris, France, 1981. Photo © Jane Evelyn Atwood. . James Baldwin, who died thirty years ago, was an American novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic, best-known as a writer with no equal on the intersection of race, sexuality, and class in mid-20th century America. . In the late 1940s, having grown disillusioned with the pervasive race and class prejudices in the United States, Baldwin expatriated and settled in France. In 1953, Baldwin’s first novel, the semi-autobiographical “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” was published, followed in 1956 by “Giovanni’s Room,” a stark exploration of homosexual love; both books presented questions of race, sexuality, and social status with a literary sense of violent unrest and outrage that redefined American literature. . In the midst of the Black Civil Rights movement, Baldwin corresponded with then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy (who later referred to Baldwin as “Martin Luther Queen”), which led to a famous meeting at Kennedy’s Manhattan apartment. That meeting, also attended by Harry Belafonte, Lena Horne, Lorraine Hansberry, and others, often is cited as evidence of the vast ideological rift between black activists and the Kennedy-era liberal elite. . Baldwin, who developed working relationships with a number of mainstream civil rights leaders, found himself excluded from key events during the movement due to his homosexuality. . On being gay, Baldwin said: “Everybody’s journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.” #soulfie . James Baldwin died from stomach cancer on December 1, 1987; he was sixty-three. 🙏🏿 #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #Resist #JamesBaldwin #VeryConnected #VeryBlack Rp: @lgbt_history - #regrann
