GIVE OUR RESPECT TO OUR ANCESTORS-LES ANCIENS COMBATTANTS




Black Men are simply beautiful in their wisdom and experience


Life & Its Marks ...




It could be your grand-father..your dad...


Imagine.....



War & its consequences




History...know your history


Yesterday as I was listening to a rap icon from Senegal(Awadi) denoucing in 1 of his tracks the atitude of French people against immigrants...and he was explaining how during the war when they needed our fathers, uncles, brothers, lovers ...ect they didn't ask us for
VISAS but 2day where's the gratitude..??

I fell upon the beautiful portraits of ancien combattants by the french photographer
Phillipe Guionie...

He took these beautiful pictures of former soldiers from Senegal, Benin, Marocco that fought a war that wasn't their and received really nothing in exchange....
It makes you wonder how they must feel, an emotional battle btw feeling that that fight or that victory was theirs even though they never were really thanked for it....

But 1 thing remain we are
PROUD OF OUR FATHERS, AND WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR SACRIFICES....
