yesterday was the 10 december.
the windhoek massacre happened on that day in 1959.
to keep it short, the apartheid cacs tried to move the indigenous people from their original homes to a new location called katutura.
they had to leave the place that had been their home for generations because cacs wanted it.
due to the apartheid laws, there was nothing black people could do.
they had to leave the place where their ancestors are buried.
an uprising happened and many black people were killed and many more fled.
i sometimes wonder if this type of info gets taught to kids at school.
yesterday, i decided to sit down my niece and nephew, who temporarily live with me, and to tell them about this.
i think they are old enough to hear this type of thing, so they are prepared for this fukked up world.
i mean, they had big eyes while i was telling them about the massacre, but i believe they got the message i was trying to convey to them.
i wholeheartedly agree with
@SupremexKing about the stickied thread idea. it would be very educational and much needed!!
