JSS 1 Student (Article 1)

I AM PRECIOUS SARAH AKANDE (JSS 1 Student). TOPIC: Honouring Our Past! Why are so many cities and states celebrating a new holiday? In 1492, Columbus set sail from Spain, a country in Europe. He was looking for a faster route to Asia, but he landed in North America by accident. He and his crew explored several islands near what is now Florida. Though it’s sometimes said that Columbus “discovered” America, countless indigenous people had been living in nearly every area of the continent for centuries. Columbus’s crew started what would become hundreds of years of mistreatment of Native Americans. They enslaved or killed many native people and took their land. Indigenous people continued to suffer as more European settlers arrived. After the United States became a country, the government repeatedly broke treaties, or agreements, with tribes and took away their lands.

Marie Claire is one of them. Marie Claire Kaberamanzi will never forget the pounding at the door. The then-12-year-old and her family were getting ready for bed when they heard the mob approaching. Outside, nearly a dozen men armed with machetes and knives were circling their small one-room house. As refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Marie Claire and her family were accustomed to being harassed in Zambia, the African country to which they had fled. People would shout at them in the streets, accusing her parents of stealing their jobs and draining the country’s resources. But rarely had they felt their lives were in danger—until now. As Marie Claire and seven of her siblings huddled in the corner of the room, their parents begged the men to leave. Ignoring their pleas, the mob burst through the front door, dragged her father into the street, and beat him. Then the men turned on her mother. To Be Continued...(July 18, 2024)
