Sarah Baartman - The Black Woman who was Exhibited Naked in Public by Europeans.
Sarah Baartman was a member of the Khoikhoi tribe in South Africa.
She was born in 1789 in the Eastern Cape.
And was taken to Europe where she was exhibited naked in public by Europeans.
She was exploited and objectified by Europeans all her life.
Sarah Baartman died on 29 December 1815, but her exhibition continued even in death.
Her brain, skeleton and sexual organs remained on display in a Paris museum until 1974.
Her remains weren't repatriated and buried until 2002.
Her life experiences serve as a tragic reminder of the exploitation and
dehumanization endured by Black Africans under the legacy of colonialism and racism.
