Thank you so much for linking that article. I started weeping on page 2 and I haven’t stopped. My parents have told me about Lumumba and I watched a dramatization of his abbreviated tenure and assassination when I was very young. The tragedy of the injustice of his death, of the rape of Africa, of what it means to me and what it will mean to my chidren is something that I try to push to the back of my mind as often as possible. But reading that article brought it all back and even though it was painful, it is necessary.
