Pig Posted July 11, 2003 I have seen these pictures on another website. What were Somalis doing at the Chicago Police Staion in 1915? Were they investigaged by the Police? Were they Slaves? Were they refugees?What do these pictures tell you? More investigation is needed on this. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?cdn:1:./temp/~ammem_2RbR:: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haashim Posted July 11, 2003 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.

Xalimo7 Posted July 11, 2003 WOW, amazing, somalis in USA 1915th yes i would like to know more about this, are there relatives or descendents of these ppl still around, and yes what on earth where they doing in USA at that horrible time.

Thinkerman Posted July 11, 2003 Trully amazing i didnt no that our Nomads got that far afield @ that time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted July 11, 2003 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: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZAKARIA77 Posted July 11, 2003 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A.J. Timacadeh Posted July 11, 2003 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.

boycott Posted July 11, 2003 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.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thought_Control Posted July 11, 2003 salam i doubt it these people arent somalis for all we know they could be chadians, Erithreans, did u guys know about Seyshells? lil island near africa they have the same physical complexion characteristics as somalis for that matter people from comores too, well u know where am gettin at, plus i look at the pic and they look notthin like me "somali" "hypocrisy is the only evil that walks alone except to god alone" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Modesty Posted July 16, 2003 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: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
