Location: New York University, King Juan Carlos Center,
53 Washington Square South, Auditorium

Over the past fifteen years, scholars have shown a renewed interest in the political and historical legacy of José Antonio Aponte (?-1812), a free man of color, carpenter, artist, and alleged leader of a massive antislavery conspiracy and rebellion in colonial Cuba in 1811-1812. Aponte was also the creator of an unusual work of art—a “book of paintings” full of historical and mythical figures, including black kings, emperors, priests, and soldiers that he showed to and discussed with fellow conspirators. Aponte’s vision of a black history connected a diasporic and transatlantic past to the possibility of imagining a sovereign future for free and enslaved people of color in colonial Cuba.

Positive change need not be expensive nor drastic. How about small gradual solutions all around?

Tweaking perception the seventy percent Nigerians living in rural areas could be all it takes to effect positive change that will be felt by all.

Agbopa Village, Ibadan

I took the above photo a while ago during a visit to Agbopa, a village in the outskirt of Ibadan. As a fellow villager, this photo is not out-of-place, I only turned my attention to the woman when I realised she has been standing on the same spot for about two minutes chatting happily with her friend – she was on her way to ẹkù (a designated place for palm oil processing).

Real Heroes

Posted on February 20, 2015 by priceless21

Black people look at the world through a white lens, the black heroes celebrated are heroes given to us by white people, they’re black people who gave their all to the white agenda whilst black people were left wanting, they were conformists, sure they helped black people but in reality they led them down a blind alley, it’s for this reason we are given these heroes because white people want this to continue, they don’t want us to challenge them and they want to keep a close eye on us, this is the reason why REAL black heroes like Malcom X, Zumbi, Nat Turner, Luis Gama, Sam Sharpe, King Benkos, Harriet Tubman and Toussaint l’odventure are rarely celebrated, simply, they done more for the black agenda and if you don’t know some of these names go look them up.
