One of the things you never hear so much about nor memorials, statues in European cities and towns is the sacrifices that Black men, there mother, father, sons, daughters and there wider relatives and communities paid for in blood in battle fields of the Great European Wars. Today there children still ask us which war did your Great Grand father or Grand father fought in ? I know of cases were it has been suggested to a friend whose grand father died in Burma, Did your Grand father fought on the Russian side or was he in the Russian Army. So help me God !!! It shows that Black Contribution to the wars in Europe and on a global scale is so underestimated that you have to sit your children down and show them photographs of Black Solders, Air Men, Navy Sea Men, and many other roles in the war. Many, Many paid the ultimate prize, their lives in distance lands, far, far away from home.
I see it as my duty to show Black People Contribution to all the war efforts, our contributions to this planets developments and the part that our race has played on this planet, we may have been marginalized and place on the back burners of the real world and our people and our children may not have been aware of our glorious contribution to this planet but that I aim to put right every day. For those that died far far away from there home in Africa with no known graves and the ones that are buried in distance lands.
