I'd like to express my deepest congratulations to Christine Kinealy on the narration and presentation of this amazingly interesting and profoundly moving Video as well as to all those involved in its edition, I just cannot get enough of it ! I'd also like to congratulate Christine on the empathy she showed while describing Ira Aldridge's unique story based on the research she did to write her books on his life and on her two Volumes on Black Abolitionists in Ireland which I'd so much like to read, as well as on her professional career and her awards. Best wishes from Argentina.
This is a superb video. Thank you. There's an excellent chapter about Ira Aldridge in Stephen Bourne's recently published Deep Are the Roots - Trailblazers Who Changed Black British Theatre published by The History Press. It was shortlisted for the Society for Theatre Research book prize in 2022.
Interesting... name Aldridge it's a viking name, it's carved in a viking tower in Waterford 900AD. Aldric...It's also first name in the doomsday book, the book written by King James and that's Bible King James. Aldridge name has some of the craziest military records of all time, dating back nearly a thousand years, all over Europe and even America. It's most common name on the big tomb they built in Normandy after Dday, something like 300 of em died in one battle. King James named a whole town after a common soldier named Aldridge, it's still there in North England. That's my name, my grand dad was in WWI and WWII and his son was a soldier in irish army 35 years ... Aldridge were always freedom fighters, just look at who started the trucker strikes in Australia and Canada... Aldridge an btw, i play guitar too HAha!
That was incredible! I love learning about historical figures that I never heard of ❤
