Congo is silently going through a silent genocide. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources.

More than 60% of the world's cobalt reserves are found in Congo, used in the production of smartphones.

Western countries are providing financial military aid to invade regions filled with reserves and in the process millions are getting killed and millions homeless.

Multinational mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.

La República Democrática del Congo vive un genocidio silencioso. Millones de personas están siendo asesinadas para que la parte occidental del mundo pueda beneficiarse de sus recursos naturales.

Más del 60% de las reservas mundiales de cobalto se encuentran en el Congo, y se utiliza en la producción de teléfonos inteligentes.

Los países occidentales están proporcionando asistencia financiera militar para invadir regiones llenas de reservas y en el proceso millones de personas mueren y millones se quedan sin hogar.

Las empresas mineras multinacionales están esclavizando a la gente, especialmente a los niños, para trabajar en las minas.

Black people have invented so much for America and we get no love for it. GPS is a black woman, 3D imaging is a black woman, laser eye surgery is a black woman, the escalator is a black inventor, the elevator, open-heart surgery etc. We can keep going and going! They took everything and lied to us but I’m glad it’s all coming to the light.

Today In History

Marvin Gaye was a major force in twentieth century music—a singer of rare sensitivity, a versatile pianist, expert drummer, writer of startling originality and producer capable of seamlessly integrating a multitude of melodic strands. Beyond his great popularity, his impact on artists of his generations and generations to come is enormous.

Like no artist before or after, Gaye possessed an uncommon cool for combining the secular and spiritual. A man who lived much of his life at war with himself, music was his refuge, the place where he generated wondrous harmony.

Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. was born in Washing, D.C. on this date April 2, 1939.

The Black American Heritage Flag was designed in 1967 by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson.

According to the designers, the blunted sword represents pride, while the gold wreath represents peace, prosperity and everlasting life.

Red is for the blood that has been shed by the community for freedom, justice and human dignity, and black represents the pride in their skin color and the black community.

La bandera de la herencia afroamericana fue diseñada en 1967 por Melvin Charles y Gleason T. Jackson.

Según los diseñadores, la espada desafilada representa el orgullo, mientras que la corona de oro representa la paz, la prosperidad y la vida eterna.

El rojo es por la sangre derramada de la comunidad por la libertad, la justicia y la dignidad humana, y el negro representa el orgullo por el color de su piel y la comunidad negra.
