Thank you for sharing! Living in Savannah we are given a white washed history. Glad to learn some of the truths. It's hard to stomach that I have touched hooks in the walls- oblivious to what they were put there for. Heart breaking, but important to learn.
Love this Savanah episode. She brought the word.. So much history to share and learn. Can't wait until you get to New Orleans. Very similar place as a port city. Over 100 different African ethic groups were documented to come through the city. The music, food, accent here are of Africa. So many people from Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland were sold here also. We are so related. We truly Brothers and Sister.
Growing up in Savannah, I made it my personal business to travel and build relationships with Native New Orleanians. I tell you, there is nothing like witnessing a conversation between Savannah and New Orleans folks. Like seeing a family reunion!
THE CONGO SQUARE IN NEW ORLEANS IS NAMED THIS FOR A REASON. ... AND THE TOWN OF ANGOLA, LOUISIANA IS NAMED ANGOLA FOR A REASON. ... NGOLA IS THE ORIGINAL NAME OF ANGOLA AFRIKA ... THE PORTUGUESE COULD NOT PRONOUNCE N'GOLA, SO THEY ADDED AN "A" TO N'GOLA. ... FROM N'GOLA COME THE WORD GULLAH (as in GULLAH-GEECHEE). ... I MARRIED AN ANGOLAN. ... BEEN THERE TWICE AND NOW WORKING ON A TOUR SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT REGION AND THE TOUR WILL BE CALLED ... THE GRAND ANGOLA/CONGO TOUR. ... ALMOST 50% OF ALL AFRIKANS ENSLAVED AND BROUGHT TO THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE COMES FROM THE ANGOLA/CONGO REGION.
@@glencarey5274 Definitely My people's are from that area. It was called Angola plantation before the penitentiary was built. We still drum and dance at Congo Square on Sundays. Keeping the traditions alive. The highest number of Congo/Angola peopled were brought here after the 1760s when the Spanish took control of the Louisiana colony. There were direct shipments from Loango and Luanda, many time stopping in Havana before completing the trip in New Orleans.
THANK YOU. ... IM FROM MACON GEORGIA. ... IM A VERY SERIOUS STUDENT OF AFRIKAN WORLD HISTORY , ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO GEORGIA AND GULLAH-GEECHEE AND ANGOLA/CONGO. THANK YOU!!
I am from Savannah and I have deep Geechee roots. I was raised to be very in tune my history and my people. So glad to see other black people recognizing the rich history that we have.
Hi Bro Jay! You're in my hometown again! I'm now living in Accra since July 2021. Can't wait to revisit the Cotton Exchange to check out those Adinkra symbols (Hair pick=beauty). Ms. Pat is doing an awesome job retelling our stories. Look forward to her publications, soon I hope. When you return to Ghana I'll def try to connect w/you! Keep up the great work! Peace & blessings!
@@judahlion3330 Quality if life is far better. There are challenges but I don't worry about the crazies in the U.S. My mind is clearer. I sleep well. My skin looks great. I've shed a few pounds by eating less gmo altered foods. Pure Life!
Jay, Great job bridging the connection for African Americans and African history. My wife and I love Savannah and I can't wait to share this with her. Keep the history coming brah.
This was Amazing. I hope that the tour guides that she hires wear traditional African cloth and carry along a walking staffs like she has. It needs to be a fixture and normal occurrence to see African descendance walking throw and telling the stories of their ancestors. Does she have a website?
The best video you have made yet. Seriously. This is truly how you connect both sides of the Atlantic. Our ancestors left their fingerprints all over America but especially in the gullah geechee Corridor you see it more. We retained their cultures more too. That is why from Pender County NC all the way down the coast to St Augustine FL, we see Black America's most important cultural community. The Gullah Geechee Nation. Don't forget Charleston (the heart of the corridor) and Wilmington (Americas first Black Wall Street and bulit off Gullah slave labor). Carolina Gold Rice was important in these cities. Thanks again for this video.
As a child I always noticed the carving in the rocks on river street and never new exactly what it was thanks for this video and please keep them coming
Jay. Next time in Savannah visit the Haitian Monument Commemorates The Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue Location Franklin Square Artist James Mastin Erected 2007/2009
Wow, being an Asante/Ashanti myself, is evident that the Adinkra were used as writing to communicate since its mearnings are much deeper both fiscally and spiritually. Can't believe this is in plain site too and people are passing all around it, this brings tears to my eyes. The Asante King should know about this immediately. Thank you Jay for your great work.
Yes I was born and raised their. I was so drawn to that dungeon since a child. Even as a adult I always frequent that dungeon ,never know why I was drawn to it. I recently found out it was a Slave dungeon. I used to go stand inside there to gather my thoughts and meditate.
@@amandafine1202 Asantes are Akan too so what's your problem? Stop the hate. This video is about Asante. Stop the hate. What is tribe by the way? No one stops you from making your own tribe known.
Peace and blessings brotha. I’m a native of Savannah…born and raised. I still live here. Thank you for sharing this history of our city. Can you please post the name of Ms Patts’ tour company? Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing your adventures in Savannah, one of my favorite cities with so much of our history. Thank you, I have learned more about our history.
You've gotten a small part of Savannah's history, but this was a great start. When you come back, reach out to Dayclean Tours and Footprints of Savannah. Trust me, you will be blown away 10X more at least.
Thank you for sharing! 🤗It’s very difficult to hear this extremely important information. If possible, will you please add in the written caption of what she is saying within this video??? Great video other than that. Thank you.😊🌞👍
Yup. I went to school there on Abercorn (Then Armstrong Atlantic State University now known as Georgia Southern University Armstrong Campus). A lot of African History is in Georgia. Some preserved in Sapelo Island Georgia. Underground Slave Tunnels and all. India Arie was at Savannah College Of Arts and Design (SCAD). The downtown Bridge links to South Carolina. Man so much history in the South
I have started watching this video for about a minute and what strikes me is the woman who started speaking in terms of her look to an Hausa from Northern Nigeria. She has this resemblance to the first Premier of Northern Nigeria Sir Ahmadu Bello.
Sometimes I walked around and see all these statues in public places, and the question that comes to my mind is why are we not being celebrated for our contribution to America's development? It feels like we didn't do anything, to make America what it is today.
It gives currency, energy and that is the power that will ignite a strength that will overpower the lives, causing us to rise in a physical and psychological way that has not been seen for centuries on this land...it will cause another war to oppress the most powerful people who has ever existed.
31:20, looks as if the covered up something at the top posts, it was finished and then covered. There is a design that I usually see in Egyptian art as well, looks like a snake without it's head.
The 2 times I visited Savanna it made me cringe like instantly. It’s like I could feel the history to the point it made me uncomfortable. From the port, the streets, and the trees all tell a story, and one that’s not pleasant for our ancestors who were brought here. The hooks, stains, and lash markings on that brick wall are so heartbreaking. I’m also in agreement with educating more people especially this generation because the decor of cotton as if it’s flowers boils my blood and the weddings on plantations irks my soul so bad.
Maximum Impact . Let me add to this landmark ( Savanah, GA). After the ACS was founded to take free enslaved Africans to present day , LIBERIA. One of the last trips involved Elizabeth TUBMAN , a relative of Harriet TUBMAN held other free enslaved individuals who wanted to return to Africa. So around 1829. She was successful, after contacting one Henry CLAY ,who helped formed the ACS in 1816 her people were taken to LIBERIA. FROM Savannah Georgia. Her husband. William TUBMAN. Their son William VS TUBMAN became either the 18th or 19th Presidents of Liberia. He was one of the first sons of the soil of the returnees. But prior to the. ,PAUL COFFEY. AN AN AFRICAN AMERICAN CLERGYMAN HAD ALREADY SUCCESSFULLY MADE FOUR TRIPS SELF , - funded to present day Sierra Leone, he returned in 1815 Mysteriously died of illness. Ironically. The white elites formed ACS in 1816. A year later....hmmmmm..How convenient .and purchased land in Liberia. He was never given credit. THE US REFUSED TO HELP FUND HIS VOYAGES .THEN HE BECAME But however they were able to recruit one Daniel Websters from the New England as well, who was affiliated with PAUL COFFEY. MOST OF THESE MEN WERE ABOLITION LAWYERS, AND CLERGYMEN. ( AFRICAN AMERICAN, ). SOME OF THE FORMERLY ENSLAVED THAT WERE RETURNED THROUGH SAVANNAH, were also recapture stolen men from the Niger.Kongo region by Spanish traders from the wrecked ship Quererro off the Florida Keys ( ie) It was shot by American and British navy officers. After in 1807 abolition of slave trade law. But not slavery;;;;hence the Igbo drowning. ,(( they were Igbo, Congolese. And .Togolese They settled in an area called Stockton Creek in Liberia, name after Robert Stockton the navy officer recommissoned on the former ship called "" THE SARATOGA " was assigned on the West coast ofvLiberia. ( then the grain coast) after the US navy was formed in 1802-1803... These Africans before being taken to Savannah, lived with Seminole natives in Florida.( present day St Augustine ,Florida.But the few Whites that were forced to settle there too at that time were being outnumbered It is said that due to their safety because Spanish stole some of them taken Cuba and Columbia. 🇱🇷 LIBERIAN History ( 101).
Thank you for this. Very interesting connections. I need to research this for more detail. I'm Gullah, with roots in Wilmington NC which is the northern extent of the Gullah Geechee Corridor but I am interested in places like Savanah and Charleston as well as places on the continent of Africa. I wanted to go to Liberia but they want you to be vaxxed so I'm going to Sierra Leone soon. Thanks again
@@kamargee9680 oh.ok..Go to SierraLeone. Get SierraLeone citizenship when you are there..The Golas/ Vai and Mende/ Mandigos. And Fulas are over there too .
You know who else was there in Georgia but in a large area? The Yorubas. But if you really research, there are AFRICAN names cities and towns all over the US. The “Yemasee” people (spelled like that on many maps as far as 16-1700-1800s) is actually a Yoruba name called”Yemi si” meaning “I’m honored”. These folks were there even before the Transatlantic ships. I even saw a place within the Savanna or in proximity area called “Egypt”. In the Caribbeans there was a Native American tribe called Arawa-ks. But in Hausa land especially in N Nigeria there is the great “Arewa Hausa Nation”. I noticed words that Jamaicans say. You can’t make this stuff up. How did they know to get the Africans into the places were they brought slaves? Because they were already occupying those territories- another topic. I have maps as far as 1400s and what I see if shocking. The colonizers just did to us what they did to N Africa, Puerto Rico, and places in S America to create a people more close to their blood line. They attempt.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. Eventhough. I was borned and raised in 🇱🇷 Liberia. And am supposed to be almost 100% African or so I thought ( 80% Ghana/ Ivory coast/ Togo/Benin.And Mali...(we were once the same people. No borders.yees). However. My ancestry (maternal) DNA has )less the 1% native/ indigenous native Americans of COLUMBIA. VENEZUELA, CUBA ,PUERTO RICO AND MEXICO..( THAT OVER 6000 YRS AGO ). THAT means Africans did truly crossed the Atlantic then to the New World prior to the coming of these white people.. 🙄 😑 😒 😐
All from the Songhai/ Mali Empires.. ( Prior to leaving my family must have been of ( The HAUSA, AND FULAS) TRIBES . ( The Kroos)..were sailors ( only resided at the Atlantic ocean
I have yet to see any of that crowd step foot in Africa with that foolery they are peddling. All a black American has to do is step foot in the right part of Africa and they will see. They won’t need a dna test or anything. In a minute, these clowns will be telling Africans they aren’t African and they are indigenous to America. Sadly someone will believe that. 🤯😤
@@jaycameronofficial actually that has already started. The new narrative is that Black people Indigenous to America were shipped to Africa, then shipped back to America. The lies just keep getting bigger and bigger.
@@aceace4660 wow. They got some bad crack for sure! Then my question to them is “where are those slave ships?” America doesn’t even have the natural resources to make that theory make sense. The climate is different and a whole lot of other factors. They need to leave them drugs alone. Smh
Those heart Adinkras is all in NY, Jamaica, I’ve seen so many places with them. I believe our forefathers were trying to leave a mark of tracing for us to see their story. Ezekiel is definitely an African name. The Ewe, Igbos, some East African groups have names that is almost exact to the name Ezekiel such as Ezeke, Eze (means King) and us a title in Igbo land.
The lady is talking about the Ashantis in Ghana, but you didn't even mention them rather the Ewes and Ibos. These tribes don't have the Adinkra symbols apart from the Ashantis or the Akans tribes period.
@Maximum Impact with Jay Cameron, Peace Jay, I subbed to your channel and LOVE your content! Please do a collabo with the brother from "GoBlack2Africa", you and that brother remind of each other SO much. It'd be cool to see ya'll get together and do a collabo if ya'll haven't yet.
The Ashanti People, the people of Ashan who are Israelites of the seed of Shem, not Hamites. Unlike the Hausa people who are likely primarily Hamites of the seed of Ham. In Joshua 15 and 19, it appears that the land of Ashan was within the land of Judah, the lead tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob). As are the Bantu people who are primarily Israelites of the seed of Shem. The forefathers of the children of Israel, who are God's chosen people, are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. All praises.
Lmao you guys and your obsession with Israel. For your information the original word is Asanti and it means because of war it has no correlation to any Ashan in the Bible. Stop spreading misinformation. The word Ashanti is the English version.
@@abigailowusu4866 Does Ashanti not mean the people of Ashan? Who doesn't know that the Bantu people are not Israelites? From Genesis to Revelation, the God of Israel is speaking to the seed of Israel, the Israelites. Therefore, the God of Israel is obsessed with Israel. He should be, He chose the Nation of Israel out of 18 nations that he created in Genesis chapter 10. All praises to the Most High God of Israel in Jesus the Christ, the Israelite Messiah.
@@abigailowusu4866 please start doing your research. We the Hebrews migrated to present day Egypt from Isreal as was said in the bible. Those you regard as Israelis now are the imposters. They migrated from caucus region. If you ever vet the chance enquire from asantehene at Manhyia palace
The music was loud and voice was low. What's up with that Jay? Some of us are getting tired of straining to hear your videos. Please do something about.
@@lavedraarmstrong1025 I do low country boils and someone was telling me about a restaurant here that does them and I told them "I grew up eating that and my grandfather taught me how to do that. I guarantee it won't taste like mine. That is Gullah cuisine all day everyday. The imitation won't come close."
We need to raise our consciousness as the First Peoples of this earth. The truth has always been staring us in the face by the very name #Savannah … Ask yourselves what that name is doing in an American State… When we wake up from the sleep of deception, then will we also revive the dry bones of our Great Ancestors…#Ubuntu ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🪘🪘🪘🪘🪘
When Georgia's Founder (Colonizer), General James Oglethorpe came from England he had made several journeys to the west coast of Africa. Savanna is a grassland and when they reached the Georgia coast the many surrounding marshlands look exactly like the African grasslands or Savanna. In Olde English, the "H" was used as a plural signifier, hence the spelling "Savannah", meaning many grasslands. This is why he named it Savannah, the first city in the 13th British colony of Georgia. If you've ever driven out to Tybee Island from Savannah, passing through the marshlands you would definitely see this for yourself.
Savannah Georgia is a very racists city. The spirit of racism and prejudice and bondage is heavy it can be felt in certain areas. River street and a lot of old buildings where built on the backs or built by slaves. Savannah hides a lot of things pertains to black improvements and black history.
@@bruteluv Exactly, people who say this have obviously never spent more than a couple of hours/days in the city of Savannah. It has its share of historical issues being a major slave port of couse; however It's like an oasis of blackness compared to the surrounding towns.
Isaiah 11 10. A day is coming when the new king from the royal line of David will be a symbol to the nations. They will gather in his royal city and give him honour. 12. The Lord will raise a signal flag to show the nations that he is gathering together again the scattered people of Israel and Judah and bringing them back from the four corners of the earth. 13. The kingdom of Israel will not be jealous of Judah any more, and Judah will not be the enemy of Israel. 14. Together they will attack the Philistines on the west and plunder the people who live to the east. They will conquer the people of Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them.
Greetings brother my name is Rick black I am a native from Savannah Georgia and I'm working on a documentary that will debunk the Africa Theory in Savannah my family is part of the niji tribe off the Southeast coast up Savannah maybe we can put our heads together because I'm not here to cause any Ruckus if you go do research on my city talk to more than just the historians that regurgitate the misinformation that was enforced in them
Way too much of our people get kill by the state under that [ FLAG ] from killers in uniform, We must avoid promoting it on the African Continent, It is only maintain the painful memories, and nothing significant in Africa, it is like holding on to a painful journey and past, Please leave that burdensome baggage and memory behind
Please get the information right. The Adinkra does not belong to the Asanti’s. It belong to Jamang tribe which is part of the Akan tribe. Every tribe is Ghana matter and is important that history is taught properly.
I love this...however, the guides need to wear clothing that is fair trade, not made by living slaves in the far east. Be classy....not the usual hypocrites.
I suggest you do some research on the roots of the Gullah-Geechee people and culture. Y'all so busy trying to throw the baby out with the bath water and it's getting ridiculous.

All from the Songhai/ Mali Empires.. ( Prior to leaving my family must have been of ( The HAUSA, AND FULAS) TRIBES . ( The Kroos)..were sailors ( only resided at the Atlantic ocean
I live 30 min from Savannah. There is so much history down here.
Very informative
They aren’t tribes. They are cultures.
You should have done all the trips with Dane Colloway
I have yet to see any of that crowd step foot in Africa with that foolery they are peddling. All a black American has to do is step foot in the right part of Africa and they will see. They won’t need a dna test or anything. In a minute, these clowns will be telling Africans they aren’t African and they are indigenous to America. Sadly someone will believe that. 🤯😤
@@jaycameronofficial actually that has already started. The new narrative is that Black people Indigenous to America were shipped to Africa, then shipped back to America. The lies just keep getting bigger and bigger.
@@aceace4660 wow. They got some bad crack for sure! Then my question to them is “where are those slave ships?” America doesn’t even have the natural resources to make that theory make sense. The climate is different and a whole lot of other factors. They need to leave them drugs alone. Smh
@@jaycameronofficial I bet you won't debate Dane calloway though.
Great job u dô thanks
the hausas were the British mercenaries.the history of the hausas is nothing to be proud of
Not the Hausas, the Hausa royals were replaced by the Fulani. You are mistaking the Fulani for the Hausa.
Amazing...... How can I contact her?
Been there before. Our History.
Savannah and Charleston share many similarities, including the geechee accent...
All SHALL BE REVEALED.......ThE IS NEIGH
Hey J, are you still in Ghana 🇬🇭?
So many lies, but truth will find its way home….
Those heart Adinkras is all in NY, Jamaica, I’ve seen so many places with them. I believe our forefathers were trying to leave a mark of tracing for us to see their story.
Ezekiel is definitely an African name. The Ewe, Igbos, some East African groups have names that is almost exact to the name Ezekiel such as Ezeke, Eze (means King) and us a title in Igbo land.
The lady is talking about the Ashantis in Ghana, but you didn't even mention them rather the Ewes and Ibos. These tribes don't have the Adinkra symbols apart from the Ashantis or the Akans tribes period.
@@johnnydarren8444 what's your point
@@sos9020 my point is simple, the Adinkra symbols come from the Ashantis or the Akans. But not Ewes and Igbos. I hope you'll understand it now.
@Maximum Impact with Jay Cameron,
Peace Jay, I subbed to your channel and LOVE your content! Please do a collabo with the brother from "GoBlack2Africa", you and that brother remind of each other SO much. It'd be cool to see ya'll get together and do a collabo if ya'll haven't yet.
It’s coming!
The Ashanti People, the people of Ashan who are Israelites of the seed of Shem, not Hamites. Unlike the Hausa people who are likely primarily Hamites of the seed of Ham. In Joshua 15 and 19, it appears that the land of Ashan was within the land of Judah, the lead tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob). As are the Bantu people who are primarily Israelites of the seed of Shem. The forefathers of the children of Israel, who are God's chosen people, are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. All praises.
Lmao you guys and your obsession with Israel. For your information the original word is Asanti and it means because of war it has no correlation to any Ashan in the Bible. Stop spreading misinformation. The word Ashanti is the English version.
@@abigailowusu4866 Does Ashanti not mean the people of Ashan? Who doesn't know that the Bantu people are not Israelites? From Genesis to Revelation, the God of Israel is speaking to the seed of Israel, the Israelites. Therefore, the God of Israel is obsessed with Israel. He should be, He chose the Nation of Israel out of 18 nations that he created in Genesis chapter 10. All praises to the Most High God of Israel in Jesus the Christ, the Israelite Messiah.
@@abigailowusu4866 please start doing your research. We the Hebrews migrated to present day Egypt from Isreal as was said in the bible. Those you regard as Israelis now are the imposters. They migrated from caucus region.
If you ever vet the chance enquire from asantehene at Manhyia palace
@@gracied.6240 Please shut up I am an asante and I know my history from the beginning to the end. If y'all want to be Israelites leave us out of it
Error in previous reply: Bantu people are indeed Israelites.
The music was loud and voice was low. What's up with that Jay? Some of us are getting tired of straining to hear your videos. Please do something about.
Gullah Geechee Corridor. My people. And yes you will get red rice, Shrimp and grits, fish and grits, etc.
I need some deviled crabs, doggone it😂😂😂
@@lavedraarmstrong1025 I do low country boils and someone was telling me about a restaurant here that does them and I told them "I grew up eating that and my grandfather taught me how to do that. I guarantee it won't taste like mine. That is Gullah cuisine all day everyday. The imitation won't come close."
This lady is a GRIOT and she's great.
We need to raise our consciousness as the First Peoples of this earth.
The truth has always been staring us in the face by the very name #Savannah …
Ask yourselves what that name is doing in an American State…
When we wake up from the sleep of deception, then will we also revive the dry bones of our Great Ancestors…#Ubuntu

When Georgia's Founder (Colonizer), General James Oglethorpe came from England he had made several journeys to the west coast of Africa. Savanna is a grassland and when they reached the Georgia coast the many surrounding marshlands look exactly like the African grasslands or Savanna. In Olde English, the "H" was used as a plural signifier, hence the spelling "Savannah", meaning many grasslands. This is why he named it Savannah, the first city in the 13th British colony of Georgia. If you've ever driven out to Tybee Island from Savannah, passing through the marshlands you would definitely see this for yourself.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Savannah Georgia is a very racists city. The spirit of racism and prejudice and bondage is heavy it can be felt in certain areas. River street and a lot of old buildings where built on the backs or built by slaves. Savannah hides a lot of things pertains to black improvements and black history.
The out skirts racist the city is not
@@bruteluv Exactly, people who say this have obviously never spent more than a couple of hours/days in the city of Savannah. It has its share of historical issues being a major slave port of couse; however It's like an oasis of blackness compared to the surrounding towns.
@@FreeUpNews facts
I agree as a former resident of the city.
Wow
The video sound is very poor.
😍
9:57 African and WEST INDIAN slaves auctioned. Not all slaves came from Africa?
Isaiah 11
10. A day is coming when the new king from the royal line of David will be a symbol to the nations. They will gather in his royal city and give him honour.
12. The Lord will raise a signal flag to show the nations that he is gathering together again the scattered people of Israel and Judah and bringing them back from the four corners of the earth.
13. The kingdom of Israel will not be jealous of Judah any more, and Judah will not be the enemy of Israel.
14. Together they will attack the Philistines on the west and plunder the people who live to the east. They will conquer the people of Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them.
Greetings brother my name is Rick black I am a native from Savannah Georgia and I'm working on a documentary that will debunk the Africa Theory in Savannah my family is part of the niji tribe off the Southeast coast up Savannah maybe we can put our heads together because I'm not here to cause any Ruckus if you go do research on my city talk to more than just the historians that regurgitate the misinformation that was enforced in them
bro stfu i see all of my African symbols all around that city... stop denying African ancestry
Way too much of our people get kill by the state under that [ FLAG ] from killers in uniform, We must avoid promoting it on the African Continent, It is only maintain the painful memories, and nothing significant in Africa, it is like holding on to a painful journey and past, Please leave that burdensome baggage and memory behind
Please get the information right. The Adinkra does not belong to the Asanti’s. It belong to Jamang tribe which is part of the Akan tribe. Every tribe is Ghana matter and is important that history is taught properly.
Like how. You n I were not there
I love this...however, the guides need to wear clothing that is fair trade, not made by living slaves in the far east. Be classy....not the usual hypocrites.
So you are not speaking about foundational black Americans
But credited tribes in Africa
The foundational Black americans were Africans.
Man sit ya ass down somewhere with that FBA bullsh*t.
I suggest you do some research on the roots of the Gullah-Geechee people and culture. Y'all so busy trying to throw the baby out with the bath water and it's getting ridiculous.
Thank you for doing excellent work bridging the gap. 🤎
