Katarina Taikon (1953)

[vitsa-didicoy]

Starting this Black History month with a special shoutout to our black comrades and our afro-romani siblings

Romani and black communities share many of the same struggles and history of oppression from slavery, to forced assimilation, to segregation, genocide, etc. and this shared history I believe only strengthens bonds between communities and makes each of our struggles for liberation just a bit easier knowing we have each other

Just like Katarina Taikon and Martin Luther King Jr. we see each others values and will support each others liberation from oppression

Happy Black History Month!

KATARINA TAIKON // ACTIVIST

“She was a Swedish Romany activist, leader in the civil rights movement, writer and actor. She did not learn how to read or write until her teens. Her work as an actress allowed her to divorce her husband that she was married off to. She dedicated her life to improving conditions for Romani people in Sweden and throughout the world. Through her tireless work, debating, writing and talking to Swedish authorities, the Romani were granted the same right to housing and education as all other Swedes. In 1953, the 1914 ban on Romani immigration ended. This led to other Romani seeking refuge in Sweden, and the population, at first less than a thousand people, grew.”

I recently got hyperfixated on Hello Kitty Cafe Taikon for 2 days...

But the truth is I haven't been there since then.

took a break from my interest in geopolitics to learn about Roma and African American solidarity and there is not a lot to find bc not much is written about the Roma people but I stumbled upon some articles discussing meetings between Roma activists and AfAm activists throughout recent decades, MLK Jr and Katarina Taikon (a Swedish Romani activist I’ve seen referred to as the MLK of Sweden) meeting when MLK was in Sweden. and this interview of this black American former civil rights activist who’s been fighting for Roma rights throughout Europe for a few decades and organised a meeting between Roma activists and AfAm civil rights veterans in 1995. there’s exchange, there’s hope

I’m gonna reread the interview with the civil rights vet bc he was touching on some stuff that I had hunches about and kinda confirmed some of my thoughts

there’s also an Afro-Romani community in Louisiana near where my aunts live. I’ll have to check it out when I make my way down there
