At the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (“Expo 58”), Belgium built a “Congo Village” where Congolese men, women, and children were displayed in a reconstructed “native” village behind bamboo fencing for white visitors to watch, photograph, and hand things to over the barrier. Historians widely describe this as a human zoo and call it the last major one in Europe.

Imagine being that young, being taken away your family, being paraded like that, the confusion and the fear… oh to be black.
To think we are still fighting to be treated human to this day!

Now they persecute Christians and patriots.

The fact that human zoos still existed in Europe by 1958 is horrifying. Shockingly late.

The white supremacist loves to tell the lie that they “civilized the world”. The reality is that through their contact with the rest of the world, they ended up becoming civilized themselves

Never forget.
Humans..
I forgot this was a thing
*Processing img dfsnt79ig06g1…*
*Nineteen* fifty eight. Not Eighteen or earlier.
Unbelievable.
Anyone know how Belgium reconciles this and their history in places like the Congo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrocities_in_the_Congo_Free_State) today? Is it just swept under the carpet or do they learn about it in school etc?
