Independence

Damn it's good. I can't imagine it's been 19 years since the country first got it's independence. It's good to see that since then we've been one of the few countries in Africa that's had no civil wars or any xenophobic attacks and i hope we grow as a people striving for the common good.
Imagine the irony in Namibia celebrating independence the same day that so much has happened in history.
-It's on this day in 1965 that Martin Luther King Jr led 3,200 people on the start of the third and finally successful civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.
- 1980, Ronaldinho Gaucho, Brazilian international footballer was born.
- In south africa it's celebrated as a human rights day.
- In Australia it's celebrated as Harmony Day
