People often remark and joke that Africans never sent as much as a boat to rescue stolen Africans subject to the slave trade. This is UNTRUE. Did you know...? In 1623 - The mighty Kongolese and King Pedro II, after defeating the Portuguese, forced them to retrieve approximately 1,000 nobles and citizens who were shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to Brazil in The Americas for slavery... Remember King Pedro II. He came back for us... What a magnificent and valorous effort! Our ancestors DID THAT... SEE... Someone DOES care and has cared💜 #BuildEachother This is a painting of King Pedro II - his sons were, Affonso, predecessor of his big brother, King Alvaro... Kongo was a largely catholicized place due to their close relationship with Portugal and their clergy. #Kongo #Congo #KingPedroII #Portugal #Kongolo #Bakongo #Slavery #Freedom #Justice #Knowledge #Wisdom #Overstanding #ProFRESHA #ZeGee (at East Tanglewilde, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJwyjVvH6pH/?igshid=1m7ukscu0xc2c
