androphilia:Self-Portrait as Dom Nicolau, from Diaspora by Omar Victor Diop, 2014PhotographyDom Nicolau (circa 1830-1860), Prince of Kongo, is perhaps the earliest African leader who wrote publicly to protest colonial influences. Nicolau protested against Portuguese commercial and political activity and military expansion by publishing a letter in a Portuguese newspaper in Lisbon. His exact birth date remains uncertain. Contemporary engravings of Nicolau during his visit in Lisbon in 1845 suggest that he was then perhaps fifteen to twenty years of age. -- source link
