HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- In this video, we're turning back the clock, setting our time-traveling DeLorean to 1780. Picture a time when black backs were breaking under the oppressive weight of the slave trade, working tirelessly to churn out cotton and build the American economy. Yet, amid this struggle, a remarkable black man made a discovery that would eventually house millions of people, shaping the destiny of a city we now know as Chicago.
So, buckle up, time travelers, we're about to unveil a tale that might just flip your historical perspective like a pancake at a Chicago brunch spot.

The schools 🏫 will never tell you this in their history class.
I'm from St Marc Haiti and I approved this message!!
Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable 🇭🇹💪🏿
I went to Du Sable High School. Great history lesson for all those who did not know about this great man.
I am African American and I never knew of this Black Historic Giant. I am Thankful that his Monumental Contributions to Chicago has been Acknowledged, Recorded, and Immortalized! Forever. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sounds like your parents want to keen on your education
When did you migrate to the US? Because if you were born here and haven't set foot on African soil, guess what YOU ARE AMERICAN.
We are not Africans we are indigenous natives of the earth. Most of our people have already been here. They moved us on ships up and down the coast of turtle island not from Africa beloved 💕.
What decade did you go to school because they taught this in school in the 60s ,70s & 80s
How can anyone not see this man part of this city
Outstanding Video .!!! Knowledge is key 1619. Rest well to Ancestors.!!! Need be taught in Every public high school 🏫
I’m from Haiti and I’m proud of him
He wasn't Haitian.
Yo its
I was born in Amerikkka but I claim and classify myself as AFRICAN. MY ANCESTRY IS AFRICAN. WE NEED TO ALL IDENTIFY AS AFRICAN NOT WHERE
THE DEVIL DROPPED US OFF AT........
he didnt found it , there were already french living here and doing business with native Americans. He is the longest permanent resident. The other residents didn't last longer than 4 or 5 years.
@danifranc7011 You need to find and read the book titled "They Came Before Columbus" by Sertima, Ivan Van
Plain and simple, we were here thousands of years before the arrival
of any non-melinated ppl
Growing up in Chi-town my public school always took us on field trips to the Dusable Museum and it’s still there
We are an exceptional people. Even after slavery we built flourishing black towns all around North America from nothing. Because we are indigenous to this land. We are the Original American Indians. Just stating true and real history.
Well done. I am glad that you have undertaking this task to bring highlights to areas that we are totally unfamiliar with. Thank you.
Jean baptiste du sable was a black frenchman of the french old colony saint domingue who became Haïti.
And your point.
I suggest you pull a
Good map and find out we're present day france is.
@@fassadine6352that went over your head. That man is Haitian
@@HAITIANGURL2THICK😂😂
Yes a great history lesson for those of us who did not know about this and at the same time it's an shameful note in American history that so much of our true history has been hidden and ignored by the so called educational system in this country.
I didn’t know that much about him thanks for full history. I hope they find his final resting place.
I am now in my 70s and this is the first I’ve ever heard of this great man and only wish I had been taught in school about the many contributions Black women and men have brought to this country 😢
Ask one of your grandchildren to download the slave schedules from the 1850s and read the race of the slave owners. ALL the slave owners were black! ALL OF THEM!
Why didn’t u do something 50 years ago? This is all ur generation’s fault
@@Aztec82 Don't be a dick homeboy. They got tricked just like we did. Respect your elder my guy don't talk to him like that. There was no internet back then. Truth is just a few clicks away now but not back then.
@@HWFT1999 excuses and excuses, he ain’t my elder! My elders don’t cry and beg like a woman. He wants respect he needs to be respectable. U know that, white dudes freed all the slaves with less technology. Him and his generation raised thugs that are having thugs themselves. The downfall of ur people was caused by his generation
@@HWFT1999 ur a Native American? So am I. We went through way worse
As a native of Chicago, I am very clad you shared this information. This story gives me more encouragement to run and win for President of the United States for 2024. I Diane Carol Thank You
Diane Carol Mayor of City of Chicago
Thanks for he video , good video I had an
idea that Chi town was started by an brown skin man but I did not know that he was from Haiti
7:10 Haiti is in North America.
With the exception of mispronouncing this great blackmans name, the video was very educational 👍🏾😉
Great History indeed. As a Haitian born American, I Thank you!
Heaven is for Heroes, May He R.I.P.
Most so-called heroes are in fact murderers.
We are Not taught Our History on school for a Reason.
Yessss real black history!!!!! Glad RUclips suggested it
Chicago should make a skyscraper name after him
I agree, I went to the high school. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Black Journals and thank you for sharing this info with us and i appreciate this
Visited Chicago 2 years ago enjoyed my myself.. I did get a great history lesson on him .. Glad got the recognition he deserves 💕
Put his name in the discription. Say his name!
Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This Awesome history,‼️ I will try my best... to keep this spirit alive through my Black 🖤 history teachings ‼️ all PRAISE ❤ 🙏🙏🙏 GOING UP TO THE PIONEER... FOR ALL HIS AWESOME 👍 WORK‼️ 😇. Ms. Karen - BLACK 🖤 Historian‼️
Yes this is true... go into the 50,000 patterns😁. We made the roller coaster 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Not true at all
@@Aztec82😂😂😂😂😂
Born and raised here in Chicago. I never knew the history until now 2/3/24. Thanks for the history.
Also consider the cities that were built on top of cities
The history of the misuse of the Bible during slavery is important, & you mentioned one misuse as "the curse of Ham". Ham was never cursed but only his son Canaan was; Ham had 4 sons, 3 of which built mighty civilizations.
Yall misuse the Bible all the time lol, yall don’t follow it at all
Correct.
@@pharaohdodson231 ??
If that's your belief cool, but you aint putting no curse on me from your book that you believe in, Facts over Feelings.
Reading is fundamental. This is for the 2 comments above mine😂😂😂
Salute. Thanks for sharing.
That's y we say chicago belongs to black like many other cities in the United States of America
TRUTH, GOOD RESEARCH THE PREFACE OF AMERICAN HISTORY IS CARIBBEAN HISTORY..
VIRGIN ISLANDS PEACE ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
I caught the end of the live. Now I will go back and listen to it from the beginning. Thanks.
please keep up the gooddeal for all to hear and hope to understand
I wonder what became of his children & descendants.
I had no idea. Thank you for sharing. I feel so much more enlightened.
Saint Domingue is Haiti
Purchased his property? It was more likely STOLEN from him. Come on!
Excellent Episode 👍
The first African American were not slaves. Columbus' journal documented them as present and trading before he got there.
Thanks for educating us! REPARATIONS are long overdue for the descendants of slavery that built this country!
Plus y’all only did farm work, u weren’t Architects or engineers, y’all didn’t help
With one great building or anything. The Chinese did more
@@Aztec82White House was built by slaves come on now it’s to easy to pick you apart
@@Aztec82 We were slaves to devils who became massively wealthy from this monstrous industry. Cotton was king! You can ignore the reality of this evil but there is a price to be paid and it is not money!
The black americans are the indigenous people of this land. We are the Brown American indians that were here before anyone else. And our people had structures and buildings way before anyone else. We are not African Americans. This is our land and we are the original builders. Im telling you true and real history look it up.
@@Expert-K.2324I've heard of this before. I wouldn't be surprised honestly. Do you have videos you can point to for more research?
Loved this history lesson
Blk skin is not a crime.
NEITHER IS WHITE SKIN, BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP THE RACISM TOWARDS WHITE PEOPLE
Jean Baptist’ Point Du Sable was born in st Marc Haiti .🇭🇹
Thank you for the knowledge
Can you imagine Jean Point Sable Chicago's founder walking down the streets of Chicago and seeing the youth of today with their pants below their buttcheeks? I bet he'd want to un-discover Chicago...
How they dress is not an issue each generation has their own way of wearing their clothes that doesn't harm any one whether u like how it looks or not. Instead he would be clutching his chest looking at how they are killing each other and car jacking like the in GTA THAT'S what he would be disappointed about. All of the hard work of the different ethnic groups to form what is now Chicago is being undone by groups of thugs with no respect for life ..I know this is not what anyone intended when they put their blood.sweat and tears into this city
He would also be dismayed at how he has been almost wiped out of the history of the city with little to no accolades at what he had created
When the psyche is strong a black man wouldn't show you his backside, and think it is fashion.
When the psyche is strong a black man wouldn't show you his backside, and think it is fashionable. That style of dressing is for the weak mind.
@@aprilh9124• We are responsible as parents for the destruction of our families. When we were not allowed to have anything in America we were not destroying our communities like we are now. Too much to talk about here.
It's a very interesting video. I visited the DuSable meseum when I attended an antiracism conference. They didnt have even half of this information about this Black pioneer. They accorded him the status of establishing the settlement. Yet went on to say he mysteriously left under some sort of racial "stress."
Great video Great Black Man!
I think you were 💯 right and did a find job in telling the story.
This was an excellent educational video. Thank you 😊
Thank you for bringing the truth to light❤
My Haitian ancestor 🇭🇹
I think not, everyone with a francophone name isn't Haitian.
Our ancestors are all the same. It doesn’t matter what name we got from any of the European nations.
@StrReal Our ancestors aren't the same.
@@bootneyleefarnsworth7307he was Haitian you fool.you’re every where saying he was not Haitian
🙏🏿 Thank you❤❤
Wife and I was there past OCTOBER 2023.the city I came from to here in New York City.i have most of my family living there still and I still love it myself had no problem when I was living there.
Did you know black man names pio pico founded the city of los angeles
It good to know that history of man❤
Wow. If we could only stop the unnecessarily frequent shedding of innocent blood staining the streets carved out by this great man.🥺
Props, sir.🫡
U can say that about all black cities!!! Where blacks are killing eachother all the time
Innocent?
@@anonymousf454
“Innocent” Blood (especially that of Children and other bystanders) being spilled on a DAILY is All Over The News. Not just that of the “Guilty.”
Now I know into which “category” You Fit.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank U, Infinite Intelligence 🙏
We were told of this back in school they don’t teach black history like they use to it is up to us to teach our children back in the day we had school and black panther and the old grand mamas or as some call big mama
Hispanola is now Dominican Republic and Haiti.
thank you 😢
It’s so sad that this city/state is mostly known for violence and the unaliving of the younger generations whom reside on certain streets, blocks or housing complexes. It’s a shame and so unnecessary to have all this chaos over something that never belonged to them in the 1st place. Can’t take NONE of this with you when you leave this earth. It be some of the most talented people who can’t even enjoy the fruits of their labor because they’re so busy looking over their shoulders, fighting & bragging about stupid sh🤫t. Like it isn’t already hard enough for us to live a long productive life and/or remain healthy SMDH🤦🏽♀️Morals & values are all 🤬up🤷🏽♀️
Same old gravey just warmed over
Why are all these truths just coming out now? Is it because the ALMIGHTY GOD JEHOVAH said that in the end times that HE would uncover all lies??! OUR ALMIGHTY GOD JEHOVAH IS TRUE TO HIS WORD.
Thanks for sharing the truth and brutality of those brats
THE TRUTH AND THE LIES WILL BE MADE KNOWN, THE TRUTH WILL STAND ON IT'S OWN, WHETHER WE ACCEPT IT OR NOT
It was actually two, but one got shot.
Chicago also means wild onion in one of the native America languages
Also, thanks Vince for recognizing AI.
So they erected his statue at the Kinsey homestead, that Kinsey bought from him, and they even named in Kinsey’s street? Wait…..
Something tells me he’s from New Orleans by way of Haiti
I thought that his name was Jean Baptiste
I wish he didn't sell anything and continued to live there. I wonder if any of his family still is in the us
Thanks please use the suggestions made by several persons and help us further, if you truly want to
Nakes sense seeing how it is today
whooo......low blow, karma coming
@oluhamilton2121 karma needs to come for Chicago. That place is worse than Gotham. You don't get bad karma for speaking truth.
@@oluhamilton2121most people just talk or type. Although I don’t think the things that are going on there are good, since I’m not the one that can do anything to change it I’m not going to talk about it or talk down on it either, but most people don’t look at it like me.
Bagus
......but today they treat the people with same superior genetics like Jean Baptiste DuSable extremely unjust,cruel and gross disrespect.
Do one on Los Angeles when it were founded by Blacks in 1781
He was from Saint Marc Haiti not Saint-Domingue that’s Dominican Republic
Saint Domingue was the name of modern day Haiti when the French colonized it.
His birthdate and place are uncertain.
@@bootneyleefarnsworth7307go away troll
@@bootneyleefarnsworth7307yo get a life,he was born in st Marc Haiti.You’re a fool
Im sorry He did not discover Chicago ... there was a tribal community already here... he reestablished a lost colony of the French who set up the Mision of the guardian angel in 1600s , Was no town yet but a Fur trading post
Finally truth
Very lucky not to be enslaved. Very interesting name if translated.
He did not found Chicago, He is the longest resident. More than 100 years before he came the natives were already doing business with the French who were living there. They named the river , the Chicago river. Dusable came in the second wave of explorers in the 1700s and was the longest resident because he married a native woman. He is called the longest resident because those who stayed there didn't last more than 5 years because of war, winters and French politics.
I grew up in Chicago and have known about Jean Point DuSable all my life,
Black people built Chicago, unfortunately, Black people have destroyed Chicago
Reparations sounds like restitution to for prisoners of war
Stop using AI as far as your commentary and narration of this video. You mispronounced his name and then pronounced it correctly all throughout this video.
We tend to forget that Mankind is not brimming with perfection and that he has flaws of all sorts in all aspects of life. If you can do better then do it without complaining or criticisms. AI is filled with flaws just as Mankind as we all deal with the Good, Bad and the Ugly of Mankind's endeavors.
Shut up you make a video then
Can't please black folk 🤫🙄
Dusable's name was misspelled thruout the video. But, the narrator need not be BLAMED for that..✍️💕👁️
There's no such thing as a.i.more like Azazel,fallen angel,technology.
❤😊
IS ANYTHING IN CHICAGO NAMED FOR THIS GREAT MAN
ARE THERE ANY OFF SPRING OF DUSABLE
He set up a trading post for a time..
He wasn't the first or the last...
He was one settler in a chain of settlers..
He wasn't the Brigham Young of Salt Lake City Utah.
Isn’t he of Haitian descent and origin ?
No.
@@bootneyleefarnsworth7307yes
@@marekcracovia4061 Where's the evidence of that?
@@marekcracovia4061 That isn't evidence that he's of Haitian descent or origin.
@@marekcracovia4061 There's no evidence of that, did you watch the video at all?
I didn't know that how many places did africans found in america?
We are very much disappointed, while we are still discriminated over color, are we not humans ?
Majority of us was already here so get it right. Y'all came to a beautiful place full of beautiful people and y'all destroyed it and made us prisoners of war. Africans worked with y'all as they still do AND so do other foreigners.
Fun fact: there was no such thing as an "African American" until the 1980s, so NO! "The first African Americans" did NOT arrive in 1619
Last name pronounced sob-luh.
Chicago...........chicongo.kikongo.kongo.its easy for us to decipher.
