On this day in 1916, Ota Benga, an African native who suffered inhumane treatment by being kept in a zoo, committed suicide.
He had been kidnapped in 1904 from Congo, and taken to America and exhibited at the Bronx Zoo with monkeys.

Nelson Mandela put it best. No one is born a racist, but if they can learn to hate, “they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
Let’s act – today – on his word and commit to #FightRacismstandup4humanrights.org/en/fightracism…
The ethos of freedom of expression, peaceful assembly & protecting civic space must be observed to stand up against racial discrimination in the continent & the diaspora.

Diversity is a strength, not a threat.
Yet racism is a problem in every country.
On Monday's #FightRacism day, see how you can take action and stand up for our common humanity: un.org/en/fight-racis…
Millions of people stand up against racism. Today, on #FightRacism Day, let's celebrate their voices and mobilise against all forms of racial discrimination and injustice - to contribute to ensuring a safe environment, both off and online, for those who speak up.
“Racism is an assault on human dignity & on everything the #UN stands for,” @mbachelet told the UN General Assembly #UNGA. “I stand in solidarity with all victims of racism, racial discrimination & xenophobia. Act with me to end this deep injustice.” ow.ly/oOC050In5YJ
If we stand united against all forms of racism, hatred, prejudice, and intolerance - we can break the silence that helps to maintain racial discrimination & oppression. Your voice matters. Demand change. #Fightracism.

The vicious torture & brutal assault perpetrated on Madzibaba Veshanduko is a clear message to the world that Zimbabweans are under attack from the regime.
It is no longer time for the world to keep quiet when its citizens are being butchered.
Lets retwit & make this go viral
