@FootbalIhub That’s not Asprilla in the picture. That’s George Weah.

He played for Newcastle during a short stay in the 90s.
He launched a range of flavoured condoms, even selling them at a special price to help ease the effects of the Covid pandemic on his homeland.

Henry "Box" Brown, the 19th century enslaved man from Virginia (later a noted abolitionist speaker), escaped to freedom by mailing himself in a wooden crate. “if you have never been deprived of your liberty, as I was, you cannot realize the power of that hope of freedom.” —Henry "Box" Brown escaped to freedom at the age of 33 by arranging to have himself mailed in a wooden crate in 1849 to abolitionists in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Brown was hired out by his master in Richmond, Virginia, and worked in a tobacco factory, renting a house where he and his wife lived with their children. Brown had also been paying his wife's master not to sell his family, but the man betrayed Brown, selling pregnant Nancy and their three children to a different slave owner. With the help of James C. A. Smith, a free black man, and a sympathetic white shoemaker named Samuel A. Smith, Brown devised a plan to have himself shipped in a box to a free state by the Adams Express Company, known for its confidentiality and efficiency.Brown paid $86 (out of his savings of $166) to Samuel Smith. Smith went to Philadelphia to consult with members of Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society on how to accomplish the escape, meeting with minister James Miller McKim, William Still, and Cyrus Burleigh. He corresponded with them to work out the details after returning to Richmond. They advised him to mail the box to the office of Quaker merchant Passmore Williamson, who was active with the Vigilance Committee. To get out of work the day he was to escape, Brown burned his hand to the bone with sulfuric acid. The box that Brown was shipped n was 3ft long by 2ft 8 inches deep by 2ft wide and displayed the words "dry goods" on it. It was lined with baize, a coarse woolen cloth, and he carried only a small portion of water and a few biscuits. There was a single hole cut for air and it was nailed & tied with straps. Brown later wrote that his uncertain method of travel was worth the risk: "if you have never been deprived of your liberty, as I was, you cannot realize the power of that hope of freedom, which was to me indeed, an anchor to the soul both sure and steadfast." During the trip, which began on March 29, 1849, Brown's box was transported by wagon, railroad, steamboat, wagon again, railroad, ferry, railroad, and finally delivery wagon, being completed in 27 hours. The box was successfully received on March 30th 1849. Just look at me the determination of our ancestors. 🖊️As the only admin behind this page, I try to research to educate.

Why must we invest in telling our historical stories? Our folklore shared through oral traditions was a way to imprint deep emotional stories in our minds, stories we didn't want to lose, stories that represented where we came from and what we stand for.

The folklore on Ashanti empire's beginning has been captured in this thrilling historical fantasy novel “The Usurper's Dream” by @yeayikobina. It revolves around how osei Tutu and okomfo anokye shaped the small state of kwaaman to become and empire that resisted colonial forces.

@BronzeLily I accept that. I just don’t feel it’s enough to justify my rewatch time and, perhaps, the production costs (whatever they are).

I thought Money Heist Korea would follow a story that was unique (with only generic similarities) irt the original Money Heist. It’s S1E1 promises a retell of the same story. What’s the thrill in that?
