African History
The Courage of Black Soldiers in World War II : Hidden Valor
The significant contributions of black soldiers during both World Wars are often overlooked in the broader narratives of these global conflicts. Despite the substantial involvement of black troops in various capacities, historical accounts have frequently diminished their roles, suggesting that these soldiers saw limited frontline action. However, this portrayal does not accurately reflect the depth and breadth of the black contribution to the war efforts of the Western Allies.
Despite their significant contributions, the recognition of black soldiers’ in these global conflicts has been muted in the post-war period. The reasons for this oversight are complex, including the colonial context in which these soldiers served, the racial prejudices of the time, and the subsequent focus on European and American narratives in the historiography of the World Wars.

Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

The concept of angels remains a captivating mystery for the modern mind. Often depicted in religious and cultural contexts, angels are considered heavenly beings from an unseen, transcendent world.
We will embark on a captivating journey to explore how ancient African spirituality profoundly shaped one of the most ethereal and universally revered concepts: that of angels. This exploration is not merely about tracing the lineage of beliefs but unraveling how African civilizations, through their intricate understanding of the divine and its messengers, seeded ideas that blossomed into key spiritual figures in later cultures.

Bro, please speak on the colonization of Habeshas in Ethiopia. You'll find a LOT of sources about the history of it, and how it intensified in the late 19th century with Menelik's colonization of southern Ethiopia through guns acquired by the Russians, French and Italians. I find that the experiences of non-Habeshas in Ethiopia shares parallels with that of thd Dravidians
