I of Belgium. Fast forward to 1964, the World’s Fair, and Maurice Vermeersch’s “Bel-Gem” waffle stand. This is where an American love-affair with the Belgium waffle began. The crispy texture, accompanied by the sweet medley of strawberries and whip cream, were revered by New Yorkers. Unfortunately, the flame of waffle-love dimmed while unattended through the 70’s. Cheap diners began serving mushy excuses for waffles. The ways of the Belgium waffle were nearly forgotten. The King of Belgium got word

Whereto have our rash, brute, moustache- adorned predecessors disappeared? The world as a whole is lacking real men. We’ve traded in our moustaches and booze for neckties and current events. It wasn’t long ago we had men like King Leopold II of Belgium who marched into Africa, annexed the mighty Congo, and turned a barren jungle into a booming sweatshop by forcing locals to tediously harvest rubber.

You will go certainly to evangelize, but your evangelization must inspire above all Belgium interests. Your principal objective in our mission in the Congo is never to teach the niggers to know God. Thus they know already. They speak and submit

About the Author: George Washington Williams wrote this letter to the King of Belgium. He was born to a free black family in Pennsylvania in 1849 (O’Connor 1). He served in the Union army, served as a pastor, studied law, and was a part of the Ohio legislature, to name a few things he did in his life (Andrea 309). To say the least, Williams was a man of many talents with an incredible background and was recognized by many important people. Williams’ interest of the Congo started when Chester B.
