@thepanafricanexperience: TIKTOK PUNISHED ME FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO AND REMOVED THE SOUND BUT I'M POSTING AGAIN ANYWAY. Jerusalem 1925 ​The people in this video are a testament to the actual history of the city. At that time, Jerusalem was home to: • ​The Afro-Palestinian Community: Many families from Chad, Sudan, and Nigeria had lived in the Old City for centuries (specifically in the "African Quarter" near the Al-Aqsa compound). • ​Mizrahi and Ethiopian Jews: Jewish communities from across Africa and the Middle East have had a presence in the city for generations. • ​Pilgrims: Jerusalem has always been a global crossroads for travelers from across the African continent. The Shift in Population ​The demographics of Jerusalem changed drastically in the 20th century. • ​Before 1948: Jerusalem was a deeply integrated, multi-ethnic city where "Blackness" was a standard part of the local identity (often linked to the Al-Jaliya al-Afriqiyya community). • ​After 1948: The influx of Ashkenazi (European) Jews and the subsequent political conflicts did shift the visual and cultural "center" of the city toward a more Westernized/European image, often marginalizing the indigenous African and Middle Eastern (Mizrahi) histories. #Jerusalem #humanity #News #Fyp #Africa
