As Black History Month ends, one North Texas activist says we fail to see that we all share a common history. For most of her life, Yeharerwerk Gashaw has...
A Dallas-area activist combines love of her homeland with an appeal to end its longstanding, brutal conflicts.
During this time of Black heritage reflection, Gashaw asks us to take a look at how we share a common past and help shape the future of what scientists call humankind’s “Land of Origins.” Her premise comes from scientists who say that human life began in Ethiopia, the “Horn of Africa” because of its shape.
All of this fuels Gashaw’s pride in her Ethiopian homeland. And during Black History Month, she says more people of the world should care and take action to stop Ethiopia’s civil wars. The violence is largely between the main Ethiopian military and the rebel Tigray People’s Liberation Front that is seeking more power and independence for their region and ethnic group.
Gashaw has a more than 30-year record of joining and founding organizations to try to create unity and peace. She founded the Ethiopian National Government in Exile in Dallas in 2005.
