MAKEBA: WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING!
South African music icon Miriam Makeba died on this day in 2008 during a performance at a concert in Italy. For decades, her music ruled the African airwaves. Her melodious voice propelled her to the top of the music charts across continent, but it was her political activism against South Africa's apartheid regime that made Miriam Makeba a global icon.
Fondly known as Mama Africa, Makeba used her music and fame to put a spotlight on the regime's atrocities against Black people in South Africa. She also worked hard to unite Africans - including in the diaspora - in their struggle against systemic racial oppression.
In this clip, Makeba explains why Africans around the world are engaged in the same struggle. She reminds us that diaspora Africans were taken out of Africa, and that - whether we are in Mozambique or Brazil, in Namibia or the US - actually, we are brothers and sisters. The fight for total liberation goes on, and it’s by uniting in our struggle that we’ll achieve our aim.
