Patrice Lumumba was an incredible figure in world politics & decolonial liberation, it is wonderful to see him continually celebrated by the Congolese people.

“They buried Lumumba
In an unmarked grave.
But he needs no marker—
For air is his grave.
Sun is his grave,
Moon is, stars are,
Space is his grave.
My heart's his grave,
And it's marked there.
Tomorrow will mark it everywhere.”
- Langston Hughes
Patrice Lumumba was murdered on this day in 1961.
