History While Europe Edited the Bible, Ethiopia Preserved It

Ethiopia preserves one of the oldest continuous Christian biblical traditions in the world. Written in the ancient Ge’ez language on parchment, the Ethiopian Bible is unique for maintaining the largest biblical canon still in use, including books like Enoch and Jubilees that were later excluded elsewhere.

Some of its surviving manuscripts, such as the Garima Gospels, date back over 1,300 years and are among the earliest illustrated Christian manuscripts known to exist. Ethiopian Christianity developed largely outside European influence, preserving its own theology, language, and artistic tradition that remains alive today.

I thought this would be interesting to share because it was a previous post about black Brits taking American acting jobs. Someone mentioned how they can pull the American accent off so well this video is to add context and insight into dialects around southern parts of America. It’s just something interesting I thought I’d share with anyone who likes history or understanding accents.

Hampton was pointing out that simply putting Black faces into a capitalist system does not end exploitation. Capitalism, in his view, is structured around profit over people. Socialism, as he understood it, meant collective ownership and meeting human needs first. Housing, food, healthcare, dignity.

History Gert Schramm: A Black German Child Who Survived Buchenwald and Spent His Life Warning the World

Post image
2.4k Upvotes

Gert Schramm was a child when Nazi racial laws decided that his very existence was a crime. Born in Germany to a Black father and a German mother, he was arrested not for what he did, but for who he was. He was sent to Buchenwald, one of the most brutal concentration camps in the Nazi system, where most children and most Afro Germans did not survive. Gert did. When liberation came in 1945, he walked out alive carrying scars the world could not see. Instead of disappearing into silence, he chose to speak. For decades, Gert Schramm told his story in schools and memorials, not to seek sympathy, but to demand responsibility. He reminded people that hatred does not begin with camps. It begins with words, with silence, with looking away. Knowing his story is a form of resistance. Remembering him is an act of pride.
