Today marks the 31st anniversary of the martyrdom of Dr. Ali Fadl, "the first martyr in ghost houses. He lived balanced and noble

"I am Ali Fadl Ahmed, my family at the Eastern Dayoum neighborhood in Khartoum, I have been subjected to continuous torture, and I think that I am close to death. It was because of ideas and a path that I chose out of conviction and I will not back down from him, and I am confident that someone will continue after me on this path.

اذاق الجيش البريطاني مرارة الهزيمة وطردهم من شرق السودان : واخترق لأول مرة في تاريخ العسكرية البريطانية كل دفاعات المناطق التي احتلوها في أفريقيا وآسيا وكندا :

مما حدا بشاعر الإمبراطورية المشهور (روديارد كيبلنج عام 1890 في تخليد قبائل البجا الأشاوس في قصيدة مشهورة والتى يقول فى جزء منها ( لقد حاربنا أصناف كثيرة من الرجال عبر البحار اتصف بعضهم بالشجاعة والبعض الآخر لا ! ! قبائل الباتان والزولو وبورما ولكن البجا كانوا اروع من الجميع لم نكسب اى شىء معهم ! ! يقبعون بين الشجيرات ويعقرون خيولنا : ويقتلون حراسنا في سواكن : يلعبون لعبة القط والفار مع قواتنا :

وها من أجلكم يااهل البجا في وطنكم بالسودان :أنكم خارجون عن ملتنا ولكنكم مقاتلون من الدرجة الأولى : ونعطيكم شهادة بذلك : وان تريدون اعتمادها سناتكم بلاتوانى حيث تكونون

General Orders, No. 3.

The people are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property, between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them, becomes that between employer and hired labor. The Freedmen are advised to remain at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts; and they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.

Wanted to share this thread I saw on Twitter on here. It’s devastating how we weren’t taught this in our American History classes.

Here are some recommendations, include both non-fiction and fiction about racism and challenges that black people face throughout their lifetimes.
