Post: Do you know the biggest diamond in the world ? The Cullinan diamond came from Africa, but was stolen and paraded as a gift in nineteen, oh five deep beneath the earth in South Africa, a breathtaking diamond was discovered weighing over three thousand one hundred carats. It was called the Cullinan Diamond, the largest ever found in human history. But what should have been a proud symbol of African heritage was taken under the heavy weight of colonial rule. The diamond was forcibly handed over to the British Crown, and they called it a gift. How do you give something freely when your land is not your own, when your people are not free ? The largest cut from that diamond, the Great Star of Africa, now sits on the royal sceptre of the British monarchy, locked inside their palace, guarded and glorifying. A diamond taken from African soil, placed into foreign hands, never returned. And still today we see our stolen treasures worn like trophies, our history, our pride, our wealth reduced to artifacts in someone elses museum. Africa didn't give that diamond. It was taken like so much else, and with it a piece of our soul. Oh, share, believe, inspire blacks, be.
