Good to see you posting this type of thing once again. Possibly I haven't seen anything lately though. Site operates weirdly. 😞

She looks a lot like Harry Belafonte's daughter

Miriam Makeba did a nightclub engagement in Sydney,around 1964 I think.

So true. I went to many of her concerts in the 1960s.

Would that be white, yellow, red, black, or brown colonialism?

@ChipmunkErnie I posted it under the category of Africa, with comments by Miriam Makeba rather than the topic of general history.

@bijouxbroussard Okay, so how about African empires that conquered other African peoples and enslaves and colonized them?

@ChipmunkErnie I suppose that would be more comparable to conflicts between the English, the Scots and the Irish. But again, this post is about the late Miriam Makeba’s thoughts.
