Today in Labor History January 24, 1835: Slaves in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, started a revolt, which helped lead to the end slavery there 50 years later. Muslim slaves and freedmen, inspired by Muslim teachers, launched the rebellion during Ramadan. They were also inspired by the Haitian Revolution (1791−1804) and wore necklaces bearing the image of President Dessalines, who had declared Haitian independence.

#Ramadan is drawing near. Every year I have a look around the creative web for some nice art to send to my #Muslim dear ones.
However, this year, 90% of the pictures around were not made by human hands (eughhh) and quite a few good artists have dropped off the radar alltogether.
Does anyone around here have some recommendations (CC, small fee or donation)? that would be great!
Styles that work best with my crowd are 'sleek with metal accents' or 'cute and colourful'.
