May 19th: Four Revolutionaries, Four Birthdays!

Today, we remember four revolutionaries whose unwavering commitment to the anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist struggle inspire us to this day!

Lorraine Hansberry was a Pan African playwright, active member of the Communist Party USA, and close friend of Nina Simone. She connected the struggles for Black liberation, queer liberation, and anti-imperialism in her work and organizing. Her best-known play, "A Raisin in the Sun," portrayed the reality of Black working class life in Chicago, and was the first Broadway play to be written and produced by a Black playwright.

Ho Chi Minh was the founding leader of the Indochinese Communist Party (later the Communist Party of Vietnam). From Laos to Latin America, Ho Chi Minh's vision inspired liberation movements worldwide - and continues to be an example of working class internationalism.

Yuri Kochiyama was a life-long fighter for Black liberation and activist in the anti-war movement. Throughout her life she sought to build an Asian American political movement, linked to the struggle for liberation. She was a member of Malcolm X's Organization for Afro-American Unity and their camaraderie was immortalized in a Time Magazine photo, showing Yuri holding Malcolm X just moments after he was assassinated.

Malcolm X's uncompromising commitment to the cause of Black liberation remains a model in the struggle to overthrow the system of white supremacy that continues today. He understood that the ruling class that so brutally exploits people here in the United States also operated a global empire to loot the wealth of the whole world. Although his life was cut short by an assassin's bullet in 1965, his life and ideas continue to shape generation after generation of freedom fighters.

Tribute to Anas Al-Sharif

Anas Al-Sharif was assassinated on the 10 August 2025 for courageously reporting on the horror in Palestine. This was after receiving a death threat from Israeli Authorities that they would kill his family.

To date the Israeli army has killed over 270 journalists, photographers and other media workers many of which were Palestinian.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland.

Palestinian Journalist Anas Al-Sharif's last will and testament

Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Al-Sharif left behind a powerful testament before his assassination by Israeli forces on Sunday night.

In his message, Al-Sharif vowed to be the unwavering voice for his people, even in the face of death, entrusting the world with the truth of Gaza’s suffering and the hope for freedom.

The will was written in April this year and posted by his admin team on X following his killing.

This is Anas Al Sherif last post on twitter:

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

October, 2025 - Israel has agreed to end its genocide. But it's made these promises before. The last time Israel agreed to a ceasefire, in January 2025, Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif announced the news.

Israel broke the agreement and killed him months later in a targeted attack. [video]
