Standing in solidarity with Ethiopia, African Americans responded to the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, mobilizing support, raising awareness, and championing the cause of freedom against colonial oppression. African Americans have enough battles of their own to fight everyday on American soil in the midst of the Great Depression and an enduring Jim Crow era but news has just come from Africa. The continent’s only remaining nation to avoid colonization in Europe’s Scramble for Africa, has just been invaded by Benito Mussolini. And more than seven thousand miles away, in a historic display of Pan-Africanism and Black Nationalism that took place across the United States, this was the Black American community drafting itself to defend the Empire of Ethiopia when no one else would.
Blackness in Brazil: Brazil is the country with the largest population of people of African descent outside of the African continent. 🇧🇷
The Black Africans brought to Brazil through the Middle Passage belonged to two major communities: The West African and the Bantu people. The West Africans mostly belong to the Yoruba people. Other Enslaved belonged to the Fon people and other neighbouring ethnic groups. Bantu people were mostly brought from present-day Angola and the Congo, the Shona kingdoms of Zimbabwe, and coastal Mozambique. They were sent on a large scale to Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and Northeastern Brazil.
Afro-Brazilian communities are steadfast in preserving their rich cultural heritage, which is deeply rooted in centuries of African influence. Through vibrant traditions of music, dance, religion, and cuisine, Afro-Brazilians celebrate their ancestry while asserting their unique identity in the multicultural fabric of Brazil.

Adding new pictures to this series, where I recreate traditional old hairstyles from various African tribes, is by far my favorite. \n\nEvery time I finish one hairstyle and I watch myself in the mirror, I think, “this is my new everyday hairstyle.” \nLol, I am way too lazy to do those styles every day, but you get the point. It makes me feel truly beautiful. Cultures are made by humans; therefore, no culture in this world is perfect. African culture, in all its diversity and differences, has its flaws but has so much more beauty. Being able to do this work makes me feel like I belong to something, even though I don’t understand all of this “something.” It still feels good.\n\nWhich one is your fav ??\n.\n.\nReposted: @laetitiaky \n\n_____\n#panafrikan #blacktraveljourney #africanhistory #blacktravel #everydayafrica #africancreatives #representationmatters #blackwomentravel #Moyoafrika #amplifyblackvoices #amplifymelanatedvoices #blacktravelista #africandiaspora #blacktravelgram #blacktravelers #travelnoire

Exploring the beauty and diversity of African hairstyles before colonial influence.
Before colonial influence, African hairstyles were deeply intertwined with cultural identity, social status, and spiritual beliefs. Various tribes used hairstyles to convey significant messages about an individual’s age, marital status, wealth, rank, and even religion.
