    Aljazeera, please continue this type of production on other historical people and events. For example, there is massive under-education of the Haitian Revolution. It’s ethical consistency in comparison to the American and French Revolutions, it’s implications, legacy and the reactionary & antagonistic policies of both US and European powers to subvert Black democracies and Pan-Africanism across the globe… there is so much great history for us to learn, and so many myths of death culture for us to unlearn.

    I'm so proud to be one of the most hated and dogged yet ever-surviving and thriving peoples of this world; African-Americans. I hope our Palestinian Brothers and Sisters will keep up the hope that they too can weather the storm of evil and come out victorious. 🙏🏾💚🌏✨️💪🏾

    Should be included in every middle school and high school curriculum somewhere, but US public schools don't come near Du Bois with a 124-foot pole because they know they are selling lies and confusion to students these days.
