I don’t remember being taught in school about the largest uprising or rebellion of enslaved black people in America. Another case of Black History trying to be erased. Thanks for sharing this video 💯
Amerícan history teaches the opposite ... that they were compliant and docile, that it was a well-working system that produced successfully and everybody was happy. 😶
@@noble604Yes, they are pushing that lie now more than ever.
Cheryl - They really are, even skipping the whole słavery part and calling them “workers.” That’s why we have all these people in politics, news and onlìne more than ever who say it wasn’t “that” bad, “you people whine so much,” “everybody had it rough” (and) .... my personal favorite, “I’m lrìsh and we were słaves too.” 🤥

WE MUST PROTECT THESE SISTERS
Why they want to ship in Black Africans to work on their plantation
Not only PROTECT them. . .but send them DONATIONS to keep the property taxes PAID IN FULL for the next 20+ years.

DONT YOU MEAN BANNER BROTHERS . HONESTLY GET A CLUE
@@michellesharpe7104 🤡 I'm not talking about who your parents are to each other, I'm talking about these women who have way more than you ever will! Honestly, get a life! GFY!
@@michellesharpe7104…are they trans? Is that what you mean?
Never ever believe in the promises of a big company that wants your land. They don't care about you, your kids, or the land and there's no going back. I hope that brother realizes that
“And there’s no going back.” Em 😔 #preach
They always use one of us against us like they did the house slave against the field slave nothing has changed !
And ameriKLANmedia will *always be* PERFORMATIVE AND MEANS THEM NO GOOD. I would recommend NEVER GIVING OUR BLAQ STORIES for yte entites to tell.
They will use tokkin pawns to narrate PAVING THE WAY for kollonizers to swoop in, send plants, and Rinse&Repeat Our BLAQazzez OVER & OVER AGAIN.
NOyteSAVIORS!!!
Despite wanting to call the Black man who supports industry, I see him for what he is, a snake.
Indeed
LOVE THAT THEY TOOK OWNERSHIP
Today I learned about the 1811 slave revolt. We have always resisted and always fought back. I am so proud of my ancestry
Right! Let's keep debunking the 'passive slave' narrative.
yessssssssssssssss and still fighting today
@@Sunshine-vg9uqWho and what is it that you are fighting? Are you still oppressed?
@@quinton01 and what are 'you' evil one to ask me anything, devil
@@Sunshine-vg9uq Asking you a question makes me evil?
You cant work and enjoy the fruits of your labor when you're fighting cancer. Its about more than jobs, its about quality of life. May God bless the sisters to win this battle!

We will NEVER forget.

How about 9/11?
@@ounmore2893why do you always engage in whataboutism??? What does 911 have to do with this story?
@@ounmore2893this video isn’t about that
Blacks owned slaves, first slave owner was black, blacks sold other blacks to the Arabs who brought them here 🇺🇸
I am sorry, but you would think that the town would value such a historical piece of land enough to protect that place as a historical site. These sisters are basically doing the cities job.
It might not make sense at first, until you realize it makes dollars. And surely quite a bit under the table…
What's better than to sell it to a black person???? Make it a historic site for what???? So more white ppl can get paid ???
The Establishment will *never* "value" anything linked to slavery. Hence the current white-washing of Black History, particularly in confederate states.
Very true, but I'm not surprised because the dominant society is on a mission to destroy as much of our history as possible.
YOURE JUST MAD TWO BLACK WOMEN OWNS IT.
Never forget where you came from.. to know where you're going is to know where you came from 😢
Enslaved Africans got through a horrific experience for nearly four centuries and most survived. We’re survivors! 👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
The chosen people of Yahweh...😮
@@RalphSmith-cj5he• WHY? 😂😂

Taking back land that was stolen originally from us to begin with this year is a major flex, major accomplishment, legendary 🎉
All we have done is flex since they killed martin, flexing has NOT relieved blk ppl from ANY type of racial oppression EVER.
Right! When I hear people say "what's next or what are we going to do about it!" This is exactly what it looks like.👌
So proud of my ex HBCU faculty colleague Dr. Joy Banner.
These sisters are just badassery incarnate. Just yes. All the yes 👏🏿 👏🏿
These Queens are POWER ✊🏻. I knew of Joy Banner’s work with Whitney Plantation. I absolutely LOVE this new chapter 🥹. I hope to support the Banner sisters’ work in the future 💜💜💜
So do I.
These twins are incredible. America needs to learn about them and the plantation.
WE have got to tell Our Ancestors stories else it is not gonna be told.
Excellent. Our ancestors WILL be heard and NOT forgotten.
So proud of these young black queens , nothing but respect 🙏🏿🙏🏿💪🏿💪🏿✊🏿✊🏿
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am so proud of you my Sorority Sister!!! You make the ancestors proud. 💕💚
God bless them and their courageous efforts and keep them safe. 🙏🏾
Ase ASE Amen 🇧🇯🇧🇴🇧🇯🇧🇴🇸🇳🇮🇪
We need people like them more !! This is amazing. I wish the revolt had 5000 and not 500 ...perhaps our history could have been different.
Sadly, it is all about access to weapons and they had none 😢.
It literally would have been a whole different battle if they had weapons, too. (ps... That’s why these people fight so hard for their 2A “rights” and go so hard for their NRÀ. They know what having weapons does. They came in with weaponry warfare and that’s the only reason they could do what they did.)😞
50,000 and 50,000 folding chairs too!
It's ALWAYS more than what they say to lessen it.
@@noble604 💯💯💯💯💯💯I realllllly hate that Our Ancestors didn't initiate a plan to get 'them devils' weapons and we would have definitely won. That is why EVERY Black Person need to have in their household at least 5+ in a safe place from the children, of course.
@@ReasonablySpeaking9808 🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑you got that right
Such a Blessing My Sisters ~ As Langston Hughes would say, "Hold fast to dreams,for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly" 😊🙏🏽💞🙏🏽
What a beautiful quote! Thank you so much for sharing!! 💕
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Economics over health but if there’s no good health, how does one work.
It’s great to see these two Black women preserving our African heritage. I admire these plantations because it was our African ancestors who made them what they are and we as Black people should be proud. ❤
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love seeing them preserve our foundational black American heritage. Our Black ancestors came from so many places in Africa and in the America's to build this nation out of a wilderness. We have a very distinct lineage thanks to them.
@@beforeyourimmigrants8471 The Americas?
and not even ONE Black History Month in my academic career taught me this! Go Banner Sisters👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Congratulations to the sisters! Thank you for teaching these young ladies to keep their heads up.
@3:15 It is really disheartening that this man is willing to risk the life of his daughter and others so that he can work for someone else's prosperity. But I guess when they give you crumbs to fight for, you end up fighting each other and not them. So, in the end their tactics work.
THAT part!!!!! 🤨
that is what 'them devils' do find one to go against 'they' always calculate and manipulate everything to hurt Blacks and those that look (black) ain't for Blacks 'they' hate the skin 'they' are in
So Proud of this of them!!!👭🏽❤❤
So the seafood 🦐 might be polluted as well.
Last year I worked in Raceland Louisiana, and all I could think about was the smoke coming out of the many factories. I was glad my assignment was over.
I've been there also. Thibidoux and houma too
Would love to see a movie about this!!
A movie written, produced and directed by Black Americans only.
No we don’t need to keep reliving this through movies…perhaps you could rely on other movies as a resource to reference in relation to this or even do the research…the important thing is we have the knowledge, and they’re doing what they can to preserve the heritage.
Bravo!!!!!!
Its always one of us trying to tell us its ok to let them mess over us for dollars.
Theirs always one😐🫤
All the time.
I love seeing them preserve foundational black American history
They need to do something to fix this problem ASAP
The largest slave revolt was the YAMMASSEE WAR, and the SEMINOLE WAR
HOW CAN WE DONATE TO UR EFFORTS?👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you ladies for restoring this land.
Phenomenal work! 👏🏽
We have to do the same with AfricaTown in Mobile, Alabama, at Fort Mose, in St. Augustine, Florida and other places around the U.S. IT’S TIME TO BUY BACK THE BLOCK!
We are not AFRICANS, that name is HELLA DISRESPECTFUL
@@youuknow4670 You know growing up in school as a young girl they taught us all black people came from Africa. As kids we would be outside playing like we were in some remote African village chasing lions & things like that. Well my great grandmother was 96 years old born in 1929 & I remember one day she saw us playing those games & asked us why were we doing it. We would say because "We're from Africa Madea" it was confusing as a child to see her get so visibly upset about this silly little game. Well she pulled us kids to the side & said "My people didn't come from no Africa, & my people have always been here." Imagine the confusion, I had tracing her ancestry back to 1790 I hit a brick wall but, our family has lived in the same area in Arkansas which used to be considered Indian territory for 230+ years. I do not claim to be African based on those words my great grandmother told me.
Hopefully I'll get to visit Africa Town this coming week.
@@yolandawright1880 🤢🤮🤮🤢we not Afrkns
@@yolandawright1880 nice! if you meet anyone there, they will probably be kin to the ancestors from the Clotilda.
So that man doesn't care about getting cancer as long as he is getting paid?
LOL my sense is someone is PAYING him already!
'he' is NOT a Man 'he' is a devil worshipper that hates the skin he is in
Some people will sell their own family if it lines their pockets with dollars. He’s an absolutely disgusting person
Black men being the weakest link in the community as usual 🤦🏾♀️

Thank you Banner sisters👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love this! more should seek these opportunities!
Great reporting!
Thank you🙏🏾
And WE Black Women NEED our Real Black Men, Too....
The brutality against those that were fighting for their freedom- is so stark. Many American's dont know in detail about the horror...and then when state/public officials try to gloss over just how horribly violent slavery was-- everyone loses. It's important, truth is important even if it makes us all uncomfortable, it's vital to understand the history, and it's current repercussions.
Who is paying that young man- JOBS with that level of cancer rates...it's a continuation of horrible, life altering conditions AGAIN. That level of toxicity in a region regardless of who lives there is unconscionable. Truly the political class is owned by big business, not the people.
Historic story...good job for you!!!
EXCELLENT. BRAVO !!
THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL STORY. I HOPE THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION WILL CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO THE COMPANIES THAT DIDN'T ANSWER BACK .
Love the coverage on this story big part of history and amazing work these women are doing to help the community & to preserve a long history of black people and ownership of their land.
This is an amazing story! 👏🏾
Black Americans are going to walk away with the wealth of this country when its all said & done!! 🥰❤
….. and the very lives of those who destroyed them!
Keep dreaming😂😂😂😂
gatekeepers and Boule won't allow it to happen.
Fighting hate with hate, Never wins. It's 2024 you would think everyone in this world would want nothing but happiness and success for all. It's really sad honestly.
@@emiilyjaane7 you're just saying that because you sleep with black men. You probably call him the Nword when you get mad😩😆. You can pretend it's all Kumbayah & holding hands between the races in this country but, we know better..& if we wanted to fight hate with hate ya'll wouldn't even exist but, we're not like your people!😘
@@capoislamort100 I was thinking that too but, didn't want to say it in case the trolls came out!

Wow! That plantation is one of the most famous ones!!! 🎉
❤Keep going and moving forward
from NOLA.thank you.
After reading Du Bois, I discovered how important the military is and what a pivotal role those men of service played in transforming our communities - particularly in land ownership and public education. This is great journalism and a great example of continuity of culture in 'the Twins'.
Congratulations Blessed Black Professional
Excellent and excellence 🌟🌟🌟
This was a very informative piece, which sheds lightt on the ongoing struggles of Louisiana's black population, both past and present.
We must contunue to fight for our rights, much like our ancestors.
And they have known about the cancer for many decades….!
THANK YOU to the sisters! It's so nice to see this happen truly! They earn it and just the fact the history they save alone is amazing! Something like this shouldn't be torn down.
FINALLY!!!!! I was just telling someone why don't we start buying these plantations instead!!!!! This is an amazing story.
Awesome
Praying for you all
WOW !!!!! Never knew about the slave,s fighting for freedom !!!! And. What happened next !!!!! Glad to hear your fighting for what you Believe in !!!!! God Bless you 2. !!!! T. California
I’m so proud of what can be done when you believe in yourself!
