Photographie: Anthony Bila - Black History March Vol I (Afrique du Sud)

J'ai aimé cette série de photos Black History March par Anthony Bila en collaboration avec le collectif Love is African, une ode à l'Histoire Noire.

Lest we forget, lest we ever forget

Blood bleeds from our own hands,

Lest we live with regrets, live bitter regret

Blood on the leaves, seeps into the land

Seeds fed on the sweat of black brows

Blood bled from fallen angels on ominous clouds

Graves whitewashed they forgot

But black history marched on

Stained and ingrained in mind from hand

So much we overcame, so few understand

Lynched.

Burned.

Murdered.

Buried and forgotten in shallow graves

Chained and enslaved

A little change makes it all stay the same

New chains, economic new slaves

Graves whitewashed they forgot

But black history kept marching on

Sophisticated slavery & invisible shackles

The war wages on, battle after battle

How will you experience emancipation

When the mansion you lust for,

was built on the damned plantation

Graves whitewashed they forgot

But black history keeps marching on.

Lieu: Alexandra en Afrique du Sud.
