Throwback to 1961: A massive protest in Belgrade against the murder of Patrice Lumumba, featuring powerful signs like 'Down with the Dark Forces of Colonialism' and 'Freedom for Enslaved People'

A black-and-white historical photo shows a Black man standing on shoulders in a crowd, holding a sign that reads 'ДОЛЕ ПРАЧНЕ СИЛЕ КОЛОНИЈАЛИЗМА' (Down with the vile forces of colonialism). Other signs in Cyrillic are visible, including one with a portrait and text 'СЛАВА БОРИЦА ЗА САВОБОДУ И НЕЗАВИСНОСТ АФРИЧКИХ НАРОДА' (Glory to the fighter for the freedom and independence of African peoples).
