120 years of Extermination order against the Nama – Discussion
• 120 years of Extermination order against the Nama – Discussion •
Description by the organisers, Black Society Namibia and CommonGroundz:
“You’re warmly invited to an important and powerful community discussion hosted by Black Society Namibia:
‘Two Genocides, One Struggle’
Commemorating 120 years since the Extermination Order against the Nama people, issued by Lothar von Trotha on 22 April 1905.
This gathering will reflect on the often-overlooked Nama genocide, while also acknowledging the genocide against the OvaHerero – reminding us that two genocides shaped our colonial history.
Expect a short historical presentation, a panel talk, open discussion with the audience, and a creative tribute performance.
It’s a space for remembrance, reflection, and healing. Whether you’re a student, activist, artist, historian, or just someone curious to learn more – your presence and voice are welcome.
Please feel free to share this invite with anyone who may be interested.
Let’s talk. Let’s remember. Let’s heal.”
