Annina decides to advocate for this legacy, initiating a debate among the islanders – many of whom have shared ancestry with the enslaved – about how to create an appropriate memorial.

Buried: jinsi tunavyoamua kukumbuka biashara ya utumwa iliyovuka Atlantiki

Kisiwa cha mbali cha St. Helena, eneo la ng’ambo la Uingereza, linajulikana zaidi kwa kaburi la Napoleon- kivutio kikubwa zaidi cha watalii katika kisiwa hicho. Hata hivyo, huku akisimamia ujenzi wa uwanja wa ndege uliokuwa ukingojewa kwa muda mrefu katika kisiwa hicho, Annina van Neel anagundua kwamba mabaki ya miili ya maelfu ya Waafrika waliokuwa watumwa zamani yamepatikana, na kugundua mojawapo ya alama muhimu zaidi za biashara ya utumwa iliyovuka Atlantiki duniani. Annina anajaribu kuwashawishi wakazi wa kisiwa hicho (wengi wao wakiwa na mababu sawa na watumwa hao) kuheshimu urithi wao na kuunda kumbukumbu inayofaa. Hayo yakijiri, anaomba usaidizi wa mhifadhi na mwanaharakati mkongwe wa Kiafrika Peggy King Jorde, ambaye hufanya miunganisho muhimu katika historia yao iliyoshirikiwa.

Ukungcwatshwa: indlela esikhetha ukukukhumbula ngayo ukuthengiswa kwezigqila olwandle lwase-Atlantic

Isiqhingi esikude sase-St. Helena, indawo yaseBrithani yaphesheya kwezilwandle, saziwa kakhulu ngethuna likaNapoleon – eliyindawo eheha kakhulu izivakashi kulesi siqhingi.

Kule mizamo yakhe, ucela usizo lwabalwela ukulondolozwa komlando waBantu Abamnyama BaseMelika kanye nolwesishoshovu esingumakadebona uPeggy King Jorde, ongumxhumanisi okubalulekile emlandweni wabo.

"Reclaiming Roots: Africa's Spiritual Heritage Amidst Cultural Dominance" - - Dr. John Henrik Clarke.

The video discusses the history of Africa's relationship with other cultures and religions, emphasizing that all organized religions have been used to dominate and control African people. It highlights the importance of African belief systems and the need for Africans to reclaim their confidence and independence. The video also touches on the impact of European colonization and the importance of African unity and self-empowerment.
-- Professor John Henrik Clarke.

"Cosmic Slop" is a television anthology series that aired on HBO on November 8, 1994. The show consists of three science fiction and fantasy-themed short stories, each dealing with social issues and featuring a predominately African-American cast. The series was created by Reginald Hudlin and Warrington Hudlin, who are known for their work in producing and directing films that highlight African-American culture and experiences.

They need the Support of Black Women

⁣children away from their Fathers.

‘For Mothers who won't let Fathers see their Children,’ is an all-women’s response to Mothers as well as court systems directly affecting Father’s visitation rights and direct positive relationships with their children. Women will discuss and examine women’s role in the matter or the role they have experienced with other women to take part in this matter. More so to make a positive argument and narrative regarding the importance of having the father or man in the household and directly in the child’s life in any capacity. Women will be the primary voices in the discussion and discourse regarding this topic.

Nware Rahsaan Burge is currently a PhD candidate, an Adjunct Professor at Kean University in Union, New Jersey; Essex County College, in Newark, New Jersey; and Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York. Nware is also a History and Special Education High School teacher and an Award-Winning Independent Documentary filmmaker. Nware holds a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts/Political Science from Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York, a Master’s degree in Education from Brooklyn College, in Brooklyn, New York and is a PhD candidate in Humanities and Culture at Union Institute and University in Cincinnati, Ohio. Nware has taught and worked in urban public schools for more than 17 years and as a University Professor for 4 years.

Nware was born in Hackensack, New Jersey and raised in Newark, New Jersey. He lived in Brooklyn, New York for 15 years, as well as Philadelphia for 3 Years, and currently resides in his hometown of Newark, New Jersey. As a first-time filmmaker and director, Nware has created his first feature documentary film, which is in its final editing stage, entitled: DNA-Using Genealogy to Change My SLAVE Last Name. The premise of the film poses the complex and sensitive question, “Should Black people change their White last name?” The film features Dr. Gina Paige of AfricanAncestry.Com as well as New York State Senator Kevin Parker, Historian and Scholar Dr. Leonard Jeffries and other scholars who give their insight on the topic. This complex and sensitive subject matter that his documentary film is based, has qualified Nware’s film to win the Yaa Asante Waa award for Best Documentary at the Black Star International Film Festival in Accra, Ghana.

Nware Burge’s film, DNA-Using Genealogy to Change My Slave Last Name, proposes the idea that people of African descent in the Americas, specifically African Americans and Caribbean’s alike, should contemplate the idea of using DNA genealogy results to change their European surname to the name of their genetic African ethnic origin. Nware plans to use his results from his DNA genealogy test to decide on a new surname, as well as applying for dual citizenship, which he urges other African Americans to consider as possibilities.

Another aim of his documentary DNA is to enlighten others and bring to the forefront that people of African descent in the Americas have carried and passed on the legacy of chattel slavery, imperialism, and colonization, as they continue to pass on their slave master’s European surname, from generation to generation without much grievance. The film reflects love, cultural pride, and the perplexity regarding his family surname of BURGE. Nware’s film DNA, also addresses the importance of people of African descent reclaiming their cultural and original mores, norms and spiritual systems from West Africa that were lost due to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

Nware will be releasing his totally independent documentary film titled: For Mothers who won’t let Fathers see their Children (An All-Women’s Narrative), this Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16th, 2024, in which he attends to shedding light and understanding concerning general issues of Black fathers being separated from their children through a legacy of systematic governmental politics as well as the volition of mothers through parental alienation.

Nware is also in pre-production of his independent film titled: BLACK BEACHES in America – Our Maroon Societies. A film which will be centered around educating and sharing the great stories about some of the iconic Black Beaches in America that many people, never knew existed.
Overall, Nware understands the importance of history and culture as it applies to people of direct African descent and indigenous people across the world and hopes that all are inspired after viewing his films.
