This is kind of a long story but I'm in contact with a young man from Gambia who lost his parents, and now lost his grandmother. I've helped him financially in the past, but now his grandmother is gone and he needs funds to bury her. He has been begging me because he says that his grandmother is still above ground so she's basically just decaying... it's awful. Is there any organization that can help him? It's a horrible situation but I can't keep sending him money. I'm a college student with around $4 in my bank account.
In a 1987 documentary entitled, Ethnic Notions, director Marlon Riggs examines the influence white media had on the development of African-American stereotypes between the 1820s and the Civil Rights Movement. The film explores how the constant perpetuation of these stereotypes led to the belief these were true depictions of Black life. These embellished images, or caricatures, were grotesque and purposely misrepresented our experiences.
New African Subreddit Created!
Hello folks,
I have created a new subreddit for those interested:
-
The African Union (AU) is a continental body consisting of the 55 member states that make up the countries of the African Continent. It was officially launched in 2002 as a successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU, 1963-1999). The AU is guided by its vision of “An Integrated, Prosperous and Peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena.”
