I've read about Mary Seacole and I'm sad that she haven't received her flowers despite introducing already advanced practices in nursing. As a nurse, my hats to you Mrs Seacole.
@@oliviaspring9690… there is a statue of her in London. There is also a residence hall at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica, which bears her name.
I know these videos do not get many views right away, but your ethnic audience (who are in love with history too!) thank you for taking the time! Literally love!!!!
I love this channel I love her voice and I would love to go on her many trips she goes on. I have heart disease am 40 yrs old and have 4 children as a single mother I being sick I can't do alot these days so I check out the channel everyday and find myself forge8my problems while I listen thank you don't know how much your channel means to me and many others❤❤❤
OMG! For someone who finish nursing and Florence Nightingale being our "model" I was sad to hear that Mother Seacole was denied just by the race so disappointed
I know, at least she went on the field and was loved by the men she helped and saved - they had a subscription to help her as she spent all her money to help the men. I always think she was related to me because she married a Campbell, but I can't confirm it. Whatever, she should be more celebrated for her great work, dedication and kindness, as the men who knew of her realised and acknowledged

Sarah Rector would make a great story. Her father was enslaved, she was given land in Oklahoma. They found oil on her land and she became so insanely wealthy that even though she was black and indigenous, her race was legally changed to white.
@doreensika837 But her guardian didn't screw her over like most other ones. Wealthy BIPOCs were often assigned white "guardians" to manage their money for them. They'd usually just spend the money on themselves. But TJ Porter actually looked out for Sarah's interests, and she was a multi millionaire by the time she was 18.
I have never heard of Mary Seacole before today and now I can only ask, Florence WHO?? That lady discriminated against Mother Seacole due to her race, and then made a show of donating to Mary's poverty fund once they had returned home. This woman should be a cultural icon! I am always going to bring her up at every opportunity now!
Yeah. I kinda love her channel for that. Another channel I follow made an entire video about menstrual history in the middle ages and pretty much said "we can't know what women did back then they didn't keep records" I should've linked Lindsay's channel to them 😄
I would be so interested to see this! This summer, during a museum internship, I came across a lot of photos of wealthy black society in my town from the Edwardian era. I would love love love to hear about the East Coast's own history with that
Love your videos Lindsay. Just wanted to add that historically Yoruba was, and still is a tribe and language, not a place or village. So Sarah was not “born in Yoruba”, she was born in Oke Odan, which was one of the many Yoruba speaking villages/lands that existed. Additionally, saying at 3:55 that “His parents were also from Yoruba” is also incorrect.
Yoruba are not they one of the missing Tribes of Israel. There is a video done last year, where a Jewish Rabbi officially said they are the ancient Hebrews. The Yoruba were not asking for his permission 😅. They know their history or are at present now learning who they truly are.
Gonna say this once and for all for anyone whining about "historical inaccuracy" (esp w/ a diverse cast): UNLESS A FILM MARKETS ITSELF AS AIMING FOR HISTORICAL ACCURACY/MAKES THAT THEIR GOAL - they can do whatever they want with their characters. Also hi Ms. Holiday, I love your content and it inspired me to pursue my major in History, as well as my minor in education.
Yup! When people are complaining about "historical accuracy" when it comes to the skintone of elves, dwarves, hobbits and mermaids....... you know their problem is nothing to do with actual history. All "historical drama" is essentially fantasy especially if the source is fiction, and IMO there is zero justification for excluding an entire group of actors from genre roles based solely on their skintone.
Agreed. A common complaint these days "Why are Romans/vikings/greeks black...it's not historical!" If we're going for we should be asking why are they always talking with British accents? People hate having their biases questioned though. 😊
@lucyjane3803 great point. Reminds me of the time when some hunger games "fans" complained about Rue being black and that it made her death less sad. ..um ok then. She's black in the books bruh 🙃 if you're racist, just say that
I both agree and disagree. Multiple skin tones, sure. Bringing in other cultures and melding them in, refreshing. Using lazy tropes with historically sexist ideals and showing a complete misunderstanding of the costumery... I'm out. You can't even tight lace stays! What would the point be in that silhouette? Empire gown have historical evidence of looking amazing on larger women. Why are they doing the fat girl dirty with how short they have her top cut?! I do agree though, anyone who doesn't like bridgerton because its diversity is being an idiot. There are tons of other things to hate.
@@babyramses5066I see what you are saying but when you replace an actual historical figure even in a historical drama with another race. That’s what people have problems with. If it’s in a purely historical drama that doesn’t use actual historical individuals and replace whatever race they are with another. People would be more open if not then yeah it’s purely showing whatever hatred they have for said race.
Thank you for covering this! I tried to watch a black history video on inside edition just now but the comments are absolutely noxious. Your fan community is so much better

It's nice how some of these families who suddenly had Black children or grandchildren they never expected to have, they were still pleasant to them. Like, a white British 1800s Grandpa sharing his passion for music with his illegitimate Black grandson is just nice. Sometimes it takes a reminder that there's always been decent people around.
Thank you Lindsay for highlighting these often overlooked figures in history in honor of Black History Month! 💕 This video spurred me to buy some books and do more research of my own on these interesting people!
You are better off purchasing your own books and doing your own research because what she teaches is pure revisionist history. Blacks ruled Europe up until 1848!
Loved this, can't wait to see more. Have you considered videos on disabled historical figures, that would be a lot of fun too. Benjamin Lay was a Dwarf who fought slavery in America and lived in a cave in protest of slavery. Just a thought if your trying to think of a new subject after this.

Which why when Ethiopia monarchy fell because her bloodline Germany took in Emperor Hilesilase family’s to protect them from English Monarchy who is responsible for many African royals demise!

The last vampire Elizabeth refuse to return his remains before her death to cover up what they done to him! Inhumane bloodlines I hope they all rot! He was a child!

Mary Seacole has been on the Key Stage 2 curriculum in English schools for at least the last 20 years - she is covered at the same time as Florence Nightingale - retired history teacher in England.
While Republicans Senate and School districts across the USA have expunged Black history from their curriculum. Your providing great service by bringing to light many Black nobility and notable persons of Color. Thank you so much..I am going pass link your site to everyone my family. So they show their children about our roles in History.
Let's be real...this aspect of black history is not taught in liberal democratic led states or cities either. I reside in liberal loving CT and the only people talked about in our schools are Martin Luther King, Jr and Rosa Parks, and of course slavery. So please stop capping thinking that Republicans are stopping this type of information from getting taught. Schools systems had years to teach this information if they really want to.
It is so refreshing to have a black history lesson that’s not the typical figures we keep seeing, I wish Black History being taught in school would incorporate more of these stories.
Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1751 ( essay written by Benjamin Franklin) No, we don't need no more revisionist whitewashed history taught in the schools. Blacks has ALWAYS ruled Europe ! They ruled up until the year 1848, they were the kings and Queens. Queen Victoria was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent and Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Her father was the fourth son of King George III and his MOORISH NEGRO consort (wife) Sophia Charlotte. Black Queen adopted the black girl as her goddaughter, just as simple as that. This little girl might have been a European Sephardic Jews. Why would she be born and grown in Africa and speak English so fluently?

Hi Lindsay. Love your videos. Thank you for including not 1, but 2, prominent Yoruba people, both royalty, as some sources say Aina and her husband were children of Chiefs or Kings. However, I should inform you that as you said in 1:10, Yoruba isn't a place. It's actually a people, made up of different subgroups and ethnicities. Oke-Odan as you mentioned is her birth home is probably an earlier form of Eba- Odan, which later became Ibadan, capital city of Oyo State. Which means she was probably a princess of the Oyo Empire. There was no place called Yoruba. We are a people, and not a place. Keep doing what you do😊 can't wait for next week's video

Why is it that whenever Mary Seacole is mentioned there are always people in the comments section insulting and lying about the incredible Florence Nightingale? It's as if there couldn't possibly be two amazing women at the same time.
I think it is because they wrongfully associate Nightingale with the organization that rejected Seacole because of her race. It is true that the organization has discriminated against Seacole, it isn't Nightingale's fault that her peers are jerks.
Actually, I'm a retired history teacher in English schools - Mary Seacole is remembered for the work she did in looking after soldiers in the Crimean War - there is a statue of her outside St Thomas's hospital in London, commemorating her contribution to that cause. And her story is part of the Key Stage 2 History National Curriculum in England - all children learn about her at the same time as they learn about Florence Nightingale. However, Florence Nightingale is not only remembered for her work at the hospital in Scutari - she was a lifelong campaigner in the realm of public health and sanitation. Apart from founding the first professional nursing schools, she also produced intricate statistical reports for a number of government committees that she sat on, which resulted in major public health policies for the whole country - this was a major achievement for a woman in those misogynistic times, when women weren't even allowed to vote, never mind be a part of government. I didn't know Florence Nightingale, obviously, and can't comment whether she was racist or not, but Mary Seacole does nothing but praise her in her autobiography, which she wrote a few years after her return from the Crimea. She talks about the help, material and financial she gave her on her journey in the Crimea.
Thanks so much for doing this Lindsey! Unfortunately, many people do not study history and are unaware of how many people of color and significance traveled to or were born in Europe- actually there are too many to fit in to just one video! Great video as always. I hope this encourages people who criticize the appearance of Black people in period dramas to actually do a little more research as. you have done!
So Europeans were shocked because they were not use to see people of color?! Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1752 (essay written by Benjamin Franklin) If Benjamin Franklin says Blacks were the majority in Europe, then how is it possible that white people were shocked to see a black man kissing a white woman?! O what tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Around B.C. 1500 Europe had gradually changed from an all - Black populous inhabitant to a multi -racial continent. Every European nation prior to the presence of whites was ruled by the indigenous Africans, who were called Moors, meaning BLACK or NEGRO. History has proven that Europe was once occupied by a black skinned people, who brought the concept of religion, government, King , Queen, agriculture, medicine, science, and fine arts to the continent. They established Europe's first Royal dynasties, and other great powerful institutions that still exist to this day. In every European nation there existed a Royal Family of African descent, who proudly exhibited their noble status; from just the mere fact of having MOORISH blood in their veins. The Aristocratic Black sovereignty over Europe appeared to have reached its peak from the Renaissance to the French revolution. The colored world had strategically controlled the highest echelons and liaisons of every European society. Their complexion AUTOMATICALLY guaranteed them Europe's highest privileges, whereas being White was just the opposite, causing much suffering, humiliation and deprivation! Now you know why they are mad. Thy have whitewashed and has been teaching nothing but revisionist history. You don't need them to teach you about history, purchase your own books and do your own research. The British Oliver Cromwell spent most of his life trying to break the stronghold which Blacks firmly held over whites . He helped IRELAND to become free of the harshness of Black oppression, and later persuaded the British Parliament to behead the BLACK English King Charles I. Cromwell's intention was to obliterate the DARK -SKINNED noble families of Europe, and to annihilate the NEGRO STEWART DYNASTY! Black rulership ended in 1848 He was no African, and Shakespeare was a black man!
I've read about Mary Seacole and I'm sad that she haven't received her flowers despite introducing already advanced practices in nursing. As a nurse, my hats to you Mrs Seacole.
I can’t remember exactly where but she has had a statue erected of her in the past few years. I learned about her from a horrible histories video.
OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND: Benjamin Franklin
@@oliviaspring9690… there is a statue of her in London. There is also a residence hall at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica, which bears her name.
I know these videos do not get many views right away, but your ethnic audience (who are in love with history too!) thank you for taking the time! Literally love!!!!

I love this channel I love her voice and I would love to go on her many trips she goes on. I have heart disease am 40 yrs old and have 4 children as a single mother I being sick I can't do alot these days so I check out the channel everyday and find myself forge8my problems while I listen thank you don't know how much your channel means to me and many others❤❤❤
My exact thoughts 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It's all revisionist history. Blacks ruled Europe up until 1848.
OMG! For someone who finish nursing and Florence Nightingale being our "model" I was sad to hear that Mother Seacole was denied just by the race so disappointed
I know, at least she went on the field and was loved by the men she helped and saved - they had a subscription to help her as she spent all her money to help the men. I always think she was related to me because she married a Campbell, but I can't confirm it. Whatever, she should be more celebrated for her great work, dedication and kindness, as the men who knew of her realised and acknowledged
Very disappointing indeed but I have gotten used too “people we thought were good, where actually a*****”. It’s becoming way too common
My nursing teacher always said, "While i respect what florence did for nurses and health care, she was a shitty person, and i won't waste my breath."

Sarah Rector would make a great story. Her father was enslaved, she was given land in Oklahoma. They found oil on her land and she became so insanely wealthy that even though she was black and indigenous, her race was legally changed to white.
And they gave her a white guardian to “manage” her money.
@doreensika837 But her guardian didn't screw her over like most other ones. Wealthy BIPOCs were often assigned white "guardians" to manage their money for them. They'd usually just spend the money on themselves. But TJ Porter actually looked out for Sarah's interests, and she was a multi millionaire by the time she was 18.
When she finally left Oklahoma and moved to Missouri, she bought a house that's still there. Rector House is now a great non-profit.
wow I had no idea!!! Im going to learn more about Sarah Rector. Thanks for sharing :)
Wow!😮
I have never heard of Mary Seacole before today and now I can only ask, Florence WHO?? That lady discriminated against Mother Seacole due to her race, and then made a show of donating to Mary's poverty fund once they had returned home. This woman should be a cultural icon! I am always going to bring her up at every opportunity now!

She is, in Jamaica!! She is our own.
So glad you make these videos that focus on women and nonwhite history. It really helps to spread education and erase ignorance.

OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND: Benjamin Franklin
Love your videos Lindsay. Just wanted to add that historically Yoruba was, and still is a tribe and language, not a place or village. So Sarah was not “born in Yoruba”, she was born in Oke Odan, which was one of the many Yoruba speaking villages/lands that existed.
Additionally, saying at 3:55 that “His parents were also from Yoruba” is also incorrect.
OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1752: Benjamin Franklin
Yoruba are not they one of the missing Tribes of Israel. There is a video done last year, where a Jewish Rabbi officially said they are the ancient Hebrews. The Yoruba were not asking for his permission 😅. They know their history or are at present now learning who they truly are.
I spotted that too..THX
Gonna say this once and for all for anyone whining about "historical inaccuracy" (esp w/ a diverse cast):
UNLESS A FILM MARKETS ITSELF AS AIMING FOR HISTORICAL ACCURACY/MAKES THAT THEIR GOAL - they can do whatever they want with their characters.
Also hi Ms. Holiday, I love your content and it inspired me to pursue my major in History, as well as my minor in education.
Yup! When people are complaining about "historical accuracy" when it comes to the skintone of elves, dwarves, hobbits and mermaids....... you know their problem is nothing to do with actual history. All "historical drama" is essentially fantasy especially if the source is fiction, and IMO there is zero justification for excluding an entire group of actors from genre roles based solely on their skintone.
Agreed. A common complaint these days "Why are Romans/vikings/greeks black...it's not historical!" If we're going for we should be asking why are they always talking with British accents? People hate having their biases questioned though. 😊
@lucyjane3803 great point. Reminds me of the time when some hunger games "fans" complained about Rue being black and that it made her death less sad. ..um ok then. She's black in the books bruh 🙃 if you're racist, just say that
I both agree and disagree. Multiple skin tones, sure. Bringing in other cultures and melding them in, refreshing. Using lazy tropes with historically sexist ideals and showing a complete misunderstanding of the costumery... I'm out. You can't even tight lace stays! What would the point be in that silhouette? Empire gown have historical evidence of looking amazing on larger women. Why are they doing the fat girl dirty with how short they have her top cut?! I do agree though, anyone who doesn't like bridgerton because its diversity is being an idiot. There are tons of other things to hate.
@@babyramses5066I see what you are saying but when you replace an actual historical figure even in a historical drama with another race. That’s what people have problems with. If it’s in a purely historical drama that doesn’t use actual historical individuals and replace whatever race they are with another. People would be more open if not then yeah it’s purely showing whatever hatred they have for said race.
Thank you for covering this! I tried to watch a black history video on inside edition just now but the comments are absolutely noxious. Your fan community is so much better

It's nice how some of these families who suddenly had Black children or grandchildren they never expected to have, they were still pleasant to them. Like, a white British 1800s Grandpa sharing his passion for music with his illegitimate Black grandson is just nice. Sometimes it takes a reminder that there's always been decent people around.

No, we don't need no more revisionist whitewashed history taught in the schools. Blacks has ALWAYS ruled Europe ! They ruled up until the year 1848, they were the kings and Queens. Queen Victoria was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent and Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Her father was the fourth son of King George III and his MOORISH NEGRO consort (wife) Sophia Charlotte.
Black Queen adopted the black girl as her goddaughter, just as simple as that.

Hi Lindsay. Love your videos. Thank you for including not 1, but 2, prominent Yoruba people, both royalty, as some sources say Aina and her husband were children of Chiefs or Kings. However, I should inform you that as you said in 1:10, Yoruba isn't a place. It's actually a people, made up of different subgroups and ethnicities. Oke-Odan as you mentioned is her birth home is probably an earlier form of Eba- Odan, which later became Ibadan, capital city of Oyo State. Which means she was probably a princess of the Oyo Empire. There was no place called Yoruba. We are a people, and not a place.

Florence Nightengale was a little jealous. She saw a threat 🙄I am so glad history show for what it really was back then.
She was the Thomas Edison of nursing!!
I love your videos!! Just a tiny correction:
W.E.B. Du Bois had a French name but always pronounced it “Dew Boys.” Responding to a speaking invitation by the Chicago Sunday Evening Club in 1939, he made it clear that: “My name is pronounced in the clear English fashion: Du, with u as in Sue; Bois, as in oi in voice. The accent is on the second syllable.”

@@jlau979 I think you've misunderstood that document greatly.
This video is wonderful! I am black but had only heard of Ira Aldridge because my alma mater, Howard University, has an Ira Aldridge Theater. Thank you so much for this. I especially appreciate your not sugar-coating the misery that some of these people suffered for no reason other than their skin color. I have shared this with a lot of people, including on my FB page!
25:05 Lindsay thank you for saying that about queen Victoria and "taking him in" you redeem my opinion of British history every time I watch your channel. You are a good person, really you are ❤

My relative Jacob Jenkins Roberts, was a weathy man from the Roberts family of Virgina, a free black family spread out from Norfolk to Williamsburg to St. Petersburg. He was a part of the movement to bring Black slaves back to Africa (the outcome is controversial). This ended up in the creation of Liberia. He is the namesake of the Airport and he was the first president - an American - of Liberia. His wife, Jane, also from a free black family and from Virginia, lived her later years in London, after his death. She is buried in Highgate Cemetary in London.
Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1751 (essay written by Benjamin Franklin) Not All slaves came from Africa! thousands came from Europe and many were already in America, but they went us to believe that they ALL came from Africa. Many of the Black Europeans also came in as indentured servants and owned slaves themselves. Blacks ruled Europe up until the year 1848.

Queen Victoria was against slavery but couldn't publicly support abolition due to her position as a monarch that required her to be neutral
Slavery had been abolished years before Victoria became queen - doh!
@@gillianrimmer7733 when she became queen it was still legal in some parts of the Carribean
@@irawilliams343, where? Some American part?
@@gillianrimmer7733 Jamaica. Don't forget that America was already an independent nation during her grandfather's time.

You will clearly see that Blacks has ALWAYS been in Europe and not only that, they were the ruling class!
She only regurgitates revisionist whitewashed history, and relegates blacks to Africa and as slaves. when they themselves were the subjects to black kings and Queens. The blacks ruled Europe up until 1848. Read and research for yourself.

You will clearly see that blacks has ALWAYS been in Europe! not only there, but infact were the ruling class.
They ruled Europe until 1848.
She is doing nothing but regurgitating revisionist history, making it seem like every black in Europe came their as a slave then rose to a higher status. Nothing but lies! Whites were the ones who were the subjects of black people but they will NEVER tell you that. That is why YOU have to do your own research, their job is to keep the lies going . What are you thanking them for? lies!
Please Google OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1751: ( essay written by Benjamin Franklin) Blacks has ALWAYS been in Europe and were the ruling class, their rulership ended in 1884. They have taught and are still teaching that any black in Europe during that time were a slave or servant from Africa which is a lie from the pit of hell . Who do you think America got its independence from?
Wow these stories are all so fascinating! I want to learn more about all of these people.
could u please do a tea time about princess Charlotte of Wales i really wanna know more about her !!!???
Thanks for posting this piece of history!
Why is it that whenever Mary Seacole is mentioned there are always people in the comments section insulting and lying about the incredible Florence Nightingale? It's as if there couldn't possibly be two amazing women at the same time.
I think it is because they wrongfully associate Nightingale with the organization that rejected Seacole because of her race. It is true that the organization has discriminated against Seacole, it isn't Nightingale's fault that her peers are jerks.
Actually, I'm a retired history teacher in English schools - Mary Seacole is remembered for the work she did in looking after soldiers in the Crimean War - there is a statue of her outside St Thomas's hospital in London, commemorating her contribution to that cause. And her story is part of the Key Stage 2 History National Curriculum in England - all children learn about her at the same time as they learn about Florence Nightingale.
However, Florence Nightingale is not only remembered for her work at the hospital in Scutari - she was a lifelong campaigner in the realm of public health and sanitation. Apart from founding the first professional nursing schools, she also produced intricate statistical reports for a number of government committees that she sat on, which resulted in major public health policies for the whole country - this was a major achievement for a woman in those misogynistic times, when women weren't even allowed to vote, never mind be a part of government.
I didn't know Florence Nightingale, obviously, and can't comment whether she was racist or not, but Mary Seacole does nothing but praise her in her autobiography, which she wrote a few years after her return from the Crimea. She talks about the help, material and financial she gave her on her journey in the Crimea.
Very interesting!
Thanks so much for doing this Lindsey! Unfortunately, many people do not study history and are unaware of how many people of color and significance traveled to or were born in Europe- actually there are too many to fit in to just one video! Great video as always. I hope this encourages people who criticize the appearance of Black people in period dramas to actually do a little more research as. you have done!
I absolutely love your channels especially these types! Keep up the great work!
So Europeans were shocked because they were not use to see people of color?!
Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1752 (essay written by Benjamin Franklin)
If Benjamin Franklin says Blacks were the majority in Europe, then how is it possible that white people were shocked to see a black man kissing a white woman?!
O what tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
Around B.C. 1500 Europe had gradually changed from an all - Black populous inhabitant to a multi -racial continent. Every European nation prior to the presence of whites was ruled by the indigenous Africans, who were called Moors, meaning BLACK or NEGRO.
History has proven that Europe was once occupied by a black skinned people, who brought the concept of religion, government, King , Queen, agriculture, medicine, science, and fine arts to the continent. They established Europe's first Royal dynasties, and other great powerful institutions that still exist to this day. In every European nation there existed a Royal Family of African descent, who proudly exhibited their noble status; from just the mere fact of having MOORISH blood in their veins. The Aristocratic Black sovereignty over Europe appeared to have reached its peak from the Renaissance to the French revolution. The colored world had strategically controlled the highest echelons and liaisons of every European society. Their complexion AUTOMATICALLY guaranteed them Europe's highest privileges, whereas being White was just the opposite, causing much suffering, humiliation and deprivation!
Now you know why they are mad.
Thy have whitewashed and has been teaching nothing but revisionist history.
You don't need them to teach you about history, purchase your own books and do your own research.
The British Oliver Cromwell spent most of his life trying to break the stronghold which Blacks firmly held over whites . He helped IRELAND to become free of the harshness of Black oppression, and later persuaded the British Parliament to behead the BLACK English King Charles I. Cromwell's intention was to obliterate the DARK -SKINNED noble families of Europe, and to annihilate the NEGRO STEWART DYNASTY!
Black rulership ended in 1848
He was no African, and Shakespeare was a black man!
Thanks i wanted to see another black aristocrats video
You’re amazing!
Why can’t both Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale be the mothers of modern medicine, there doesn’t have to be only one
