It was on this date in 2008 that Barack Obama was elected as the first Black President of the United States. We need to turn out for Kamala Harris in 2024 the way we did for Obama. We are at a crucial time in America where the republic for which we stand will be lost, and the democracy so many have given their lives for will be lost with it. Our lives, the lives of our children, grandchildren and those who will be born depend on your vote.

“The Ethiopians say that the Egyptians are one of their colonies which was brought into Egypt by Osiris. They add that from them, as from their authors and ancestors, the Egyptians get most of their laws. It is from them that the Egyptians have learned to honor kings as gods; sculpture and writing were invented by the Ethiopians. The Ethiopians site evidence that they are more ancient than the Egyptians, but it is useless to report that here"

The term "Ethiopia" was used more broadly by ancient Greek and Roman geographers to refer to the lands south of Egypt, encompassing areas in present-day Sudan & South Sudan…

Repost- Ancient name of Africa
Before the European settled for the word Africa, the continent was called many other names. They include Corphye, Ortigia,Libya, and Ethiopia, Alkebulan
Other names such as the land of Ham (Ham means dark skins), mother of mankind, the garden of Eden, Kingdoms in the sky, and the land of cush or kesh (referring to the Cushites who were ancient Ethiopian) were used.
No one knows the source of the names for sure. However, the theories below shed some light on how this second largest continent got its new name.
Roman theory
Some scholars believe that the word originated from the Romans. Romans discovered a land opposite the Mediterranean and named it after the Berber tribe residing within the Carnage area, presently referred to as Tunisia. The tribe's name was Afri.
Weather theory
Some believe that the name was coiled from the continent's climate. Deriving from aphrike, a Greek word that means a land free from cold and horror. A variation of

Edmond Albius was just a 12-year-old boy, enslaved and without formal education, in 1841. However, he managed to develop an innovative technique to pollinate vanilla orchids quickly and profitably, solving an enigma that intrigued prominent botanists of the time. Without her contribution, vanilla would not have achieved the popularity it has today.
In the 1820s, French settlers brought vanilla capsules to the island of Reunion, where Albius was born in 1829, near Madagascar, and to Mauritius from Mexico. It soon became clear that no insect from the region could pollinate vanilla orchids, unlike Mexico, where wild bees did the job. In the 1830s, the Belgian botanist Charles Morten developed a manual pollination technique, but it took a lot of time and work.
Albius, at 12, used leaves of grass or fine pieces of wood to lift the flower lid and fold the male part, allowing pollen to come in contact with the female part. Then, with the thumb, he pressed slightly, performing the pollinatio

It is widely understood that the beginning of the ancient kemetic civilization started several 100 kilometers south of the confluence of the blue and white Nile, flowing through countries with predominantly black African populations before reaching Egypt. This connection highlights the crucial role that African geography played in the development of ancient Egypt.
