This week in 1961, US, British and Belgian forces couped and assassinated Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Republic of Congo, because he sought to restore national control over the country's mineral wealth. Remember Lumumba.

We couldn't agree more. That's why we named our person of the year. We need more African professionals speaking up and publishing their version of events. If you don't tell your story, it will be told for you and you might not like it.

“If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, & our nation; & this means we must develop a world perspective." - #MLKJr Atlanta, GA 1967. #MLKDay

Africans in diaspora are Africa’s largest financiers. Remittances from the diaspora to Africa grew from $37 billion in 2010 to $96 billion in 2021. Total Official Development Assistance to Africa in 2021 was $35 billion or 36% of remittances from diaspora. Prioritize their voice!

@elonmusk #DearElon Hope you had a great Happy Thanksgiving. So, a few hundred of us probably reported this crass woman name @mvreisen for calling a man ( a black man) a #monkey a few days ago. Now that we’re over the festivities, what’s going on with that? #RacismOnTwitter

Still waiting for the to condemn such racist and genocidal act.

This is what racism looks like in the Jewish state against blacks. The ADL never condemn these racism towards black Jews in Israel. The anti-blackness in that state runs deep.#ABDL.#BlackTwitter.#AntiBlackRacism .#PanAfrican.
