THE MOORS ?? is a part of history that is not often relayed or displayed by neo colonialist. I wonder why? Moor or Moors is a term generally used by Europeans to describe the people of African descent and the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. Between 711 C.E. and 1492 C.E. people of African descent controlled parts of Iberia which consist of modern-day Spain and Portugal.

Few people know that the iconic character of Popeye the Sailor was based on a real person! His name was Frank 'Rocky' Fiegel, born on January 27, 1868, in Poland. He and his family immigrated to America, where Frank joined the Navy in 1887. Later in life, Frank worked at Wiebusch's Tavern in Chester, Illinois, USA, where he became known for his frequent fights, earning a reputation for his strength and toughness. This, along with his distinctive "pop-eye" resulting from a deformed eye, and his habit of always having a pipe in his mouth, inspired the creation of Popeye. Frank was also known for telling stories to local children, often boasting about his strength and attributing it to spinach, much like the fictional Popeye. Elzie Crisler Segar, the creator of Popeye, was from Chester and grew up hearing Frank's tales, which inspired the beloved character. Frank 'Rocky' Fiegel passed away in 1947 at the age of 79, but his legacy lives on through Popeye, the spinach-loving sailor who became a cartoon icon. #Popeye #FrankFiegel #Inspiration #History #CartoonCharacters #Legend

Pause to reflect on this… It represents a shift in thinking that allows economic value to be placed on ecological value. Not in terms of extraction but in terms of protection. This is symbolic of a new economic paradigm.
