Sarah Baartman was once a living exhibit—stripped of dignity, paraded across Europe, and objectified by colonial powers who saw her as less than human. But the horror didn’t end there. After her death, her body was mutilated. Her lips were reportedly cut off so she could never speak her truth. In this video, we uncover the disturbing story of how Sarah was silenced in life—and in death—and how her legacy still echoes through history as a symbol of racism, exploitation, and stolen humanity. Black Culture Unlocked is a movement focused on bringing the raw truth and real history to the culture. Our mission is to write our own stories and unlock the minds of the culture to become free thinkers.
