Slavery is ancestral work. Are you subscribed to our Patreon yet? Become a free or paying member and help us support our storytelling activism. In our latest Patreon video, social historian and educator Najumoeniesa Damon emphasizes that South African history did not begin with apartheid. Why is this important? It challenges Eurocentric narratives and highlights the rich and diverse cultures that existed long before colonialism, including the Khoisan and Bantu-speaking peoples who contributed immensely to our nation's heritage. Resistance to oppression didn’t start with apartheid either. Understanding these earlier movements reveals a long tradition of resilience and struggle for justice among South Africans. What's your favourite or most interesting part of South African history that's often overlooked? Let us know in the comments 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/dmsNSZtW

“Peace is not merely the absence of war, but the presence of justice.” - Jane Addams Jane Addams' quote succinctly encapsulates a profound truth about peace. It goes beyond the conventional notion that peace is merely the absence of conflict or war. Instead, it introduces the concept that true peace is intricately tied to the presence of justice. The essence here is that for a society or world to experience genuine peace, it must be built on a foundation of fairness, equity, and justice. Mere absence of conflict doesn't guarantee a harmonious existence; it's the active pursuit and establishment of justice that fosters enduring peace. This quote challenges us to broaden our perspective on peace, urging us to consider the social and ethical dimensions that contribute to a truly peaceful coexistence. It's a reminder that working towards justice isn't just a noble pursuit; it's a fundamental building block for a world where peace isn't just a temporary state but a lasting reality. #ThingsThatMadeMeGoHhmmmm #FoodForThought #Motivation #MotivationalQuotes #PositiveInfluence #Inspiration #Encouragement #InspiringChange #EugeneKitney

We wish you a happy and safe Juneteenth! Juneteenth is an annual observance on June 19 to remember when Union soldiers enforced the Emancipation Proclamation and freed all remaining slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865. This day is an opportunity for people to celebrate freedom and equal rights in the United States. On June 19, 1865, freedom finally came for the 250,000 enslaved people of Texas. That day, which would become known as Juneteenth, the Army arrived to enforce what had already been the law of the land for two and a half years — the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, we recognize that Juneteenth not only marks the end of America’s original sin of slavery but also the beginning of the work at the heart and soul of our Nation: making the promise of America real for every American. 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗹𝘀 The Juneteenth flag consists of a rectangle. The lower part of the rectangle is red and the upper part is blue and it has a solid white, five-pointed star at its center. The star is surrounded by a white outline of a 12-pointed star. The Juneteenth flag is often displayed with the United States flag to symbolize that slavery is illegal. In Texas and some other southern states, the traditional drink on Juneteenth is Big Red soda. This variety of cream soda is a sweet, soft drink flavored with orange and lemon oils and vanilla. It is available in different flavors and with or without caffeine and sugar. #iPS #iPSPowerfulPeople #JuneTeenth #freedom #history #celebrations #FreedomDay #EmancipationProclamation #JuneteenthCelebration #Equality #History #BlackHistory #Freedom #LiberationDay #RememberingHistory #CelebrateFreedom #JuneteenthObservance #EndofSlavery #EqualRights #FreedomForAll #EmancipationDay #RecognizingHistory #MakingAmericaBetter

Did you know that November is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth? This month is a time to honor, celebrate, and uplift the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of Indigenous people and to acknowledge the very important contributions made by their communities. It's a time to raise awareness and collectively educate ourselves surrounding the systemic challenges #Indigenous people have faced both historically and in the present, and the myriad of ways they are still fighting to overcome those challenges. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this is a time to remind ourselves - as American citizens - whose lands we are occupying by means of colonization. North America’s Indigenous peoples have fought to preserve their cultures and dignity, despite facing violent dispossession of their lands by colonists, and deserve sovereignty and self-determination.
