Amilcar Cabral was one of the greatest thinkers and revolutionary leaders Africa produced in the 20th century. A leader of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde, he fought against imperialism in all its forms and advocated for the freedom of his people to deliver them from the yoke of colonial vestiges. Unfortunately, Cabral didn’t live long enough to see the independent Guinea he fought so hard for; he was allegedly assassinated by the Portuguese colonialists outside his home in Conakry, where his party had his headquarters.

Let’s not be vague
Pres. Eisenhower of the United States ordered Premier Lumumba’s death for resisting the secession of Katanga which contained huge deposits of cobalt, vital to American industries.
Yes, true
Sheikh Karume being an ''icon''!? That's a misrepresentation of facts. Sheikh Karume was a brutal tyrant whose reign of terror will never be forgotten by Zanzibaris.
What Influential was Doe? Killing his people? Dr. President William R. Tolbert was killed because of the influence he had it bringing Africa Together. Get your story straight.
How Influential Was Samuel Doe? Killing his people? President William R. Tolbert was Influential in bringing Africa together that was one of the reasons he was killed. Please get your story straight. Thanks
Yes, it's ridiculous to suggest that tyrants such as Liberia's Samuel Kenyon Doe and Zanzibar's Sheikh Abeid Amani Karume were killed for ''their beliefs''. What beliefs!?
More women were needed on this list because there are PLENTY more. We do ourselves, and those seeking information, a disservice when we limit and erase our Black Women from our history! There are MANY that have sacrificed and stood by their convictions for us to be free. You can search the entire diaspora and they exist. Let's stop selling HERstory short!
Lumumba was killed by the USA
