I launched the Instagram page for this podcast on October 17th because I wanted to share a piece of our history that has been intentionally silenced and hidden from view.
October 17th, 2021 marked the 60-year anniversary of a massacre committed by the French state. Although it happened in plain sight, the story of this day is rarely portrayed in mainstream news, films, books, or even included in our public school curriculum. It it etched in our hearts and carved in our people’s memory, as a reminder that France’s hands are still dripping with the blood of Algerians (and that of many other African nations). This is our duty to memory.
