Pictures: Somalis in Chicago as early as 1915

during that period there were fights between sayid Maxamed Cabdulle Xassan and other somali clans on one hand, and between him and the British colonialism on the other hand, therefore these somalis may fled from these fights.

Well Somalis have always travelled haven't they? 1915 is fairly recent actually. They have been travelling all over the world for centuries...whether for trade or whatnot. If your plane crashes at Antartica...u'll probably find fellow Somalis there, iyaga oo dhaqanay reindeer, snow buffalos or something similar. :rolleyes:

WELL,I HAVE SOME DOUBT IF THESE PEOPLE ARE SOMALIS AT ALL,#1 PEOPLE IN THE PICTURES DO NOT HAVE SOMALI FEATURAL CHARACTRISTICS # 2 IF U READ THE WORD POSTED ON THE PICS, IT SAYS SAMORIAN IN CRARK STATION. SAMORIAN WHO WELL BE THE PEOPLE OF PACIFIC ISLANDS OF SAMOA, WHICH PART OF IT IS AN AMERICAN TERRATORY.

 

DONT GET ME WRONG,SOMALIS CAME TO US EASTERS SHORES AS EARLY AS BEGINING OF THE 20'S CENTURY AS A SEA-MANS.

you know zakaria i had that same skeptism when i frst saw this pictures and read the little written bit on the site. i first thought that someone made a spelling mistake but when i looked at the people i was a bit reluctant to think they were somali's. i mean they look more central african. maybe xabashi's claiming to be somali's?? i dont i just dont think they are somali's.

1915 was the italian reign I dont think they went to chicago for a cultural exchange..

actually i'wouldn't say they are not somalis cos their dress code and hair style is related to the one in that era..

I can't believe that those people are Somalis. For one, this could be a cut 'N' PASTE thing. Secondly, they wouldn't be sitting comfortably around white slave owners like that. I think possibily they could've been Muslim Senegalese,who were brought to the U.S.A as slaves.But No, those people can't be Somalis...Plus why would anyone want to flee our beautiful country with all our goats,and camels in 1915 to come to a cold place like Chicago!

 

I'm not buying this! :cool:
