As a black American I'll just say thank you. That means something to me.

አንድ ቀን ሁላችንም አንድ ላይ እንሆናለን.. በጅማሬ ላይ እንደ ነበርን እንዲሁ በመጨረሻው ላይ እንሆናለን. ሰላም ፍቅር ብልጽግና እና ክብር ለአንድ እና ለሁሉም!!

Yes and during the Italian invasion African American men signed up to fight to help protect Ethiopia. Killing the idea that we can’t and don’t stick together. We are one! Tuko Pamoja!

I'm a 71 year old African American but I never heard it before.

Africa can only move forward when Africa begins to love itself.

[roynesbittjr]

We will always love and respect Ethiopia 🇪🇹 Unity is everything we will make it back home

[Havanah-ovyt]

I’m a white American and I really appreciate you telling these stories. I don’t want to live in an echo chamber with only American views! I want to learn and grow. I want to support my oppressed brothers and sisters. I want my country to stop committing war crimes!

As a child of the disapora thank you Empress Zewditu, it was a brave and kind proposal. R.I.P 💐💐⚘️❤

I never knew this. What a Great Queen! One of the only countries to maintain sovereignty. To know that this Queen considered me as belonging to Ethiopia just to get me out of the hell hole of America warms my heart because that was always a question that I had for African leaders. Why didn't y'all come get us?!!

[immortalkombat]

Love and respect to the Empress of Ethiopia 🇪🇹

[simmons]

Omg, thank you! I am a scholar of African and African American history and I didn’t know this fact. So you have healed my heart. I have always loved Africa and African people. I appreciate you and bless you!!!

Ethiopians are beautiful people in more ways than one. We love Ethiopia❤

Rarely if ever have I heard of countries in Africa/Eden that would acknowledge the atrocities that were inflicted upon the enslaved in the Americas and be willing to do something about it. Our people have been so bruised and lost for hundreds of years with no place to call home. It would take a Queen with a heart full of compassion and empathy to call us home so we can be restored to our whole and rightful place!
Thank you for sharing—though I heard of Marcus Garvey I’ve never heard of her❤
Solidarity Africa Thank you Empress Zwedit! Onward and forward💞

I can't express enough how imperative it is for the future of Africa, for Africans to UNITE. The future of Africa depends on it. Divided we are falling prey to our predators and puppet leaders.
❤️UNITE AFRICA❤️
