She was only the second African American woman hired at the base and one of just four African American employees at the time. What followed was a career that would quietly change the world.https://thezebra.org/2026/01/18/dr-gladys-west-mathematician-whose-work-made-gps-possible-dies-at-95/ #BlackGenius #BlackMastodon

    They were many. Not just rulers, but households, elders, children—lives lived inside systems of memory, labor, belief, and power that did not require a single name. So, to say “Africa is a country” is not a cartographic error. It is the residue of training—what remains after empire leaves but its grammar stays.Africa moved as many worlds. It still does.1/ 7#history #blackmastodon Image: Map of the ethnic diversity of Africa, overlaid with country borders. Source: National Geographic.

    I was chatting with a Black friend of Jamaican heritage. She was appalled that a Nigerian she'd met knew next to nothing about slavery.It's Black history! she said.It's *your* history, I explained. For Africans that sad story ended when the ships left the shore. Our schools teach us about the impact of that devastation, not what happened on the other coast. Black history is not one thing. It's not MLK. It's also Songhai and Benin. Which they don't teach here #BlackMastodon
