The MAAFA is a Kiswahili term for " terrible occurrence " or " great disaster " . It refers to the Black Holocaust when millions of Africans died during the journey of captivity from the west coast of Africa to the shores of America, known as the Middle Passage . Our ancestors died in the belly of slave ships or choose death by jumping into the sea rather than live in captivity. It is a remembrance of the thousands of African Americans lynched and murdered before and after the end of enslavement. This especially includes the Red Summer of 1919 and the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 , considered the worst domestic terrorist event in U.S. history.
