@moorlight777: To truly understand the weight of 1492, you must look beyond Columbus and the shallow story we were fed. That year marked the fall of the Moors in Spain, a collapse that reshaped the perception of people of African descent across the globe. For centuries, the Moors had illuminated Europe with knowledge, sciences, architecture, philosophy, and global navigation—legacies born from the rich traditions of Khemet, Iberia, and the East. The Crusaders, who later inspired Columbus, had tasted this wealth of wisdom only because the Moors opened that door. But when the fall came, Cardinal Ximenes ordered not just conquest but erasure—burning books, silencing memory, and severing a people from their own glory. Out of this silence emerged new chains—not always of iron, but of words. Terms like “Negro,” “Black,” “Colored,” and eventually “African-American” were crafted to strip identity from its noble root and confine it within labels that carried no nation, no sovereignty, no memory. These names became instruments of amnesia, designed to blind generations to the reality that they are heirs of empire, not descendants of slaves alone. To remember the Moors is to awaken from the spell, to reclaim the truth that your history did not begin in bondage but in brilliance. ✨ Speakers: Kaba Kemene, Ivan Van Sertima #MoorsLegacy #1492Truth #ReclaimYourHistory #BeyondLabels #HiddenEmpire
