The world should be grateful that people like Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Ture, Kwame Nkrumah, Nikki Giovanni, Assata Shakur, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, etc., all graced this world with their revolutionary presence. I'm so happy and grateful they existed. 😊♥️🙏🏾 - ThreadSky

The problem with revolutionaries is that they shouldn't be needed.

Remember visiting the Che Guevara Mausoleum in Santa Clara, Cuba, and when I got there, I got so overwhelmed by all I had read and learned about the man, that I dat on the steps and cried. There was this part of me that kept thinking about how beautiful of a human being he was when he was alive.

I thought about his last moments, when his enemies were going to kill him. Those moments when he realised were his last. What must have gone through his mind? Was he scared? It made me so sad, and I started to cry. And the most beautiful part of it all was the random people there who consoled me.

He also gave another soldier something he had with him, though I don’t remember exactly what it was, saying, 'This is for you because you treated me well.'".... but we know that he died with dignity, as he had wished…His pain has become the tears we shed for him..

"I was able to talk to him, but when he noticed that I was missing two of my teeth, Dr. Guevara told me, 'You need to take care of your teeth to maintain your health. It's a pity we didn't meet earlier, I would have given you new teeth.' "

I came across two stories that I don’t fully remember the sources of. One of them was mentioned in an autobiography. Around 1:10 PM on October 9th, soldier "Carlos Guzmán" entered the room where Che Guevara was just moments before his execution. He then left and tearfully recounted the story:

It's difficult for me to explain to people how much I love Che Guevara. I can't put it into words. The world is a beautiful place because he existed in it, even if just for a short time.

Hasta Siempre, Comandante. ♥️

At the same time, I'm very sad that the generation after them didn't take the baton, and now our world is filled with corporatist grifters. The age of the black activist is over, and I am sad to see it go.

The age of the Black activist isn't over. There are lots of us Black and Pan African activists, who are actively organising and doing the work. The age of the Black activist is only just starting.
