Jean Baptiste Point du Sable is the founder of Chicago. Born in Haiti around 1750, Point du Sable traveled to North America in his twenties and settled on the shores of Lake Michigan, an area that would eventually develop into the city of Chicago. #waskymedia #Blackhistory Source.. #AfricanAmerican-Heritage
"Sons and daughters of the great Afrikan motherland, hear my words and let them resonate in all your hearts. The time for action is now, for we can no longer any longer in the shadows of economic colonization.
"Our narrative, our culture, is our currency; the world waiting to be harnessed and conquered by Afrikans. Let us consume our own products, patronize our own retailers, and build an economy that is not reliant on the mercy of foreign imports.
"We must shine a light on the treasures of our beloved continent, for the world is thirsty for our ingenuity and our creativity.
"There will be no change in Afrika until we as Afrikans take it upon ourselves to write our narrative and prioritize ourselves at the market place to consume our own products and patronise our retails.
"Our culture is our currency.. As it is now we take all our income to buy foreign brands and wonder why our economies are not growing..."
