July 2nd is Patrice Lumumba Day!!! "Patrice Lumumba was the first prime minister of the Republic of the Congo. He was a leading figure in the Congo as that country established its independence from Belgium, which had controlled the Congo since the late nineteenth century. Lumumba's murder in 1961 has made him a symbol of struggle for champions of African nations' attempts to unite and to break free of the influence of the European powers that once colonized (held territory in) the continent."
Mr. Lumumba is another victim of the racism and elitism of the world! Killed because he stood up for what is right and what is right for his people, he was not going to be controlled by people from outside his country!!! Again, we need more people like this in the world and we need to somehow break through the European elitism and it needs to be known that every human being deserves the same respect and rights! First and foremost though Africa needs to be given back to Africa and then maybe Africa would open their arms again, but I truly believe everything that belongs to Africa should be given back NOW!!!! If there is no continuation to do this then people like Mr. Lumumba lived and died in vain because no one is there to carry on the legacy and fight!!! Thank you Mr. Lumumba for all of your contributions and inspiration! Please click the link below and learn more about Patrice Lumumba.

“We are proud of this struggle, of tears, of fire, and of blood, to the depths of our being, for it was a noble and just struggle, and indispensable to put an end to the humiliating slavery which was imposed upon us by force.” - Patrice Lumumba
