Professor Bayyinah Bello opens up the conversation with a poem written 5000 years ago by an Ethiopian philosopher who identifies Freedom.

The first and only successful slave revolution in the Americas began in 1791 when thousands of brutally exploited slaves rose up against their masters on Saint-Domingue, the most profitable colony in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world. Within a few years, the slave insurgents forced the French administrators of the colony to emancipate them, a decision ratified by revolutionary Paris in 1794. This victory was a stunning challenge to the order of master/slave relations throughout the Americas, including the southern United States, reinforcing the most fervent hopes of slaves and the worst fears of masters.But, peace eluded Saint-Domingue as British and Spanish forces attacked the colony. A charismatic ex-slave named Toussaint Louverture came to France’s aid, raising armies of others like himself and defeating the invaders. Ultimately Napoleon, fearing the enormous political power of Toussaint, sent a massive mission to crush him and subjugate the ex-slaves. After many battles, a decisive victory over the French secured the birth of Haiti and the permanent abolition of slavery from the land. The independence of Haiti reshaped the Atlantic world by leading to the French sale of Louisiana to the United States and the expansion of the Cuban sugar economy.Laurent Dubois weaves the stories of slaves, free people of African descent, wealthy whites, and French administrators into an unforgettable tale of insurrection, war, heroism, and victory. He establishes the Haitian Revolution as a foundational moment in the history of democracy and human rights.http://karonaj.com/Free webinar: http://bit.ly/2y3JkkLhhttp://g....raymatter.globalmone

⁣Bayyinah Bello: Jean Jacques Dessalines

In this lecture, historian and author Gerald Therrien introduces the turbulent world of 1787-1804 which shaped (and was in turn shaped by) the Haitian Revolution establishing the world’s second republic.

This was a world shaped by battles within America itself between opposing factions of Americans who read the newly established Constitution from diametrically opposing worldviews. These faction fights saw anarchistically minded followers of Thomas Jefferson attempt to pull America into European intrigue and promote the rights of slave owners to their human property vs patriots led by Alexander Hamilton who strove to establish the young nation’s economic sovereignty and constitutional mandate tied to the unalienable rights of all man regardless of skin color.

It was a world shaped by oligarchical manipulations that turned the hopes of the French revolution into a Jacobin bloodbath and unleashed divide-to-conquer wars across the world.

It was a world that saw an uprising in a small slave-dominated plantation economy led by the great revolutionary Toussaint Louverture who single-handedly outflanked all three major empires of Europe (French, Spanish and British) struggling to control the Americas which ultimately led to the establishment of the Haitian Republic in 1803.

Therrien discusses how Louverture’s multi-level fight led directly into an exasperated Napoleon’s decision to sell Louisiana to the Americans in 1803, and how British operations in Canada were forever shaped by these actions.

This lecture also reviews the little-known British-directed plot to break up the United States with the early 1803 secessionist plot led by Aaron Burr and the “Essex Junto” which strove to unite the U.S. “free” states with the Canadian provinces.

Without understanding these dynamics then it is impossible to comprehend such things as the murder of Louverture-ally Alexander Hamilton at the hands of Aaron Burr in 1804 or the nature of America’s (and Haiti’s) evolution over the next 200 years.

Though, BlackNews102 began its journey by making available educational programs and educational debates concerning the history and current issues of the Black Community it has recently expanded its programming. Now BlackNews102 in addition to its educational programming covers the gambit of innovative news reporting affecting our community, elections critical to our people, sports events, celebrity news, business, science and technology news.
No other channel has the mix of experts that BlackNews102 has in its programming. We are proud to feature Phds, Professors, Doctoral Students, Politicians, Community Activists and experts in their fields. We also feature Celebrities, Entertainers and experts within that area. However, we are most proud of giving a voice to the powerless, to the up and coming leaders, to the community. We are also very proud of the Business Experts that we have on our shows that give cutting edge tips to give our community financial literacy and a pathway to economic freedom.
We believe empowerment begins with the Right Programming to its audience. Content Producers like myself have been recently censored by advertisers who do not like our critique or our programming. They withdraw their ad dollars if we comment on Racial Politics that affect our community. Many of our programs that simply critiqued the system for institutional racism have been demonetized.
We are now seeking alternative methods to produce our cutting edge content and one of those methods is to ask you to be a Patron of our Station.
We are asking for a commitment of just $2.00 a month to continue our great programming. For you this is less than ten cents a day. Of course some of you can afford $5.00 a month and more and we would certainly appreciated that, however you can help us today by your commitment of just $2.00 a month.
Our initial goal is 5,000 subscribers. With this we can expand our programs and actually give back to some of our content producers who work hard for free to give you great programming because there work extends past the dollar.
BlackNews102 is not only the Leader but the Pioneer of what is called Konscious News and Entertainment and has launched a nationwide network of shows just like this.We first began our Journey with publishing on Video Tapes, then to DVD media, then to You tube and now to Live Streams. However, the technology cost us greatly and the lack of ad revenue is hurting us.
If you do not support us then unfortunately our community will be feed the same dis-empowerment content that keeps our community dis-empowered while others profit on our patronage.
Become a Patron today and the only thing that you will be thinking about is why you did not do this sooner. Help water this garden of Empowerment for our Community and Peoples.
Thank You
