In 1962, Nelson Mandela, labled a terrorist and hunted by South Africa’s white Apartheid regime, was smüggled across borders, north to Ethiopia. He was granted an Ethiopian passport by Emperor Haile Selassie, and classified a journalist, under the name David Motsamayi, which allowed him to travel across the region. On January 11th, he made a surprise appearance before the Pan-African Freedom Movement Conference in Addis Ababa. Mandela's address to the conference took place a few weeks after the first sabotage attàcks were committed by uMkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation), also known as MK, the aŕmed wing of the African National Congress (ANC).
Today, December 5th, marks the 11th remembrance year of Nelson Mandela.

Hubert F. Julian, often called "The Black Eagle," was a trailblazer in aviation history. Born in Trinidad in 1897, Julian became one of the earliest Black aviators and made significant contributions to the world of aviation.

Aviation Pioneer:
In 1913, a tragic incident involving aircraft designer Frank Boland, who died after crashing a tail-less biplane, inspired Julian to develop a safety device for aircraft. His invention was a combination of a parachute and propeller, aimed at saving lives in emergencies.
Inventor & Innovator:
His safety device led to a patent in 1921, showcasing Julian’s forward-thinking and inventive mind. Though his name is often overshadowed in mainstream history, his impact on aviation safety cannot be understated.
Legacy of Courage & Innovation:
Julian made history not only with his aviation skills but also for his relentless efforts to break racial barriers. His career symbolized both innovation and resilience. The image of the "Black Eagle" in the sky became a symbol of freedom, courage, and the fight for equality.
