Rare Historical Photos: Belgian Congo, 1904
I found this site ages ago and have never really looked at in, but recently found this.  The story goes thus: The photograph is by Alice Seeley Harris, the man’s name is Nsala. Here is part of her account (from the book “Don’t Call Me Lady: The Journey of Lady Alice Seeley Harris”): He hadn’t made his rubber quota for the day so the Belgian-appointed overseers had cut off his daughter’s hand and foot. Her name was Boali. She was five years old. Then they killed her. But they weren’t finished. Then they killed his wife too. And because that didn’t seem quite cruel enough, quite strong enough to make their case, they cannibalized both Boali and her mother. And they presented Nsala with the tokens, the leftovers from the once living body of his darling child whom he so loved. His life was destroyed. They had partially destroyed it anyway by forcing his servitude but this act finished it for him. All of this filth had occurred because one man, one man who lived thousands of miles across the sea, one man who couldn’t get rich enough, had decreed that this land was his and that these people should serve his own greed. Leopold had not given any thought to the idea that these African children, these men and women, were our fully human brothers, created equally by the same Hand that had created his own lineage of European Royalty. Pretty brutal. Here is the full link, so you can search for more 'orrible stuff! http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/fath...an-congo-1904/  · |

Agreed. Did you know that when we (The US) did vaccinations in Vietnam the north vietnamese would come in after and chop off the arm where the vaccination was injected of every child? Crazy shit.

Re: Rare Historical Photos: Belgian Congo, 1904
How did the 'rubber company' expect these people to work w/out any hands? Didn't they get suspicious, all these hands, rubber quotas getting even lower?  |
