Blackbirding is the coercion of people through deception or kidnapping to work as slaves or poorly paid labourers in countries distant from their native land. The practice took place on a large scale with the taking of people indigenous to the numerous islands in the Pacific Ocean during the 19th and 20th centuries. These blackbirded people were called Kanakas or South Sea Islanders. They were taken from places such as Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Niue, Easter Island, the Gilbert Islands, Tuvalu, Fiji, and the islands of the Bismarck Archipelago amongst others.

The captivating saga of the rise and fall of the Khwarazmian Empire took place against the backdrop of Central Asia from the 11th to 13th centuries. Positioned strategically along the fabled Silk Road, this empire emerged as a formidable force. Led by illustrious figures such as Ala al-Din Tekish and Muhammad II, it ascended to unprecedented heights, fostering vibrant trade networks and facilitating rich cultural exchanges.

Embodied within its chronicles are epochs of rapid expansion, diplomatic maneuvers and decisive confrontations with formidable adversaries such as the Mongols and the Seljuks. However, fatal missteps ultimately led to its demise, culminating in the untimely collapse of the once-mighty Khwarazmian Empire at the hands of none other than the infamous Genghis Khan.

What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?"[1][2] was a speech delivered by Frederick Douglass on July 5, 1852, at Corinthian Hall in Rochester, New York, at a meeting organized by the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society. In the address, Douglass states that positive statements about American values, such as liberty, citizenship, and freedom, were an offense to the enslaved population of the United States because they lacked those rights. Douglass referred not only to the captivity of enslaved people, but to the merciless exploitation and the cruelty and torture that slaves were subjected to in the United States.
