Buried: how we choose to remember the transatlantic slave trade
Buried: how we choose to remember the transatlantic slave trade Kwabena Ofori Osei 30 Views • 3 years ago

The remote island of St Helena, a British overseas territory, is best known for Napoleon's tomb – the island's biggest tourist attraction. While overseeing the construction of a long-awaited airport on the island, Annina van Neel learns that the remains of thousands of formerly enslaved Africans have been uncovered, unearthing one of the most significant traces of the transatlantic slave trade in the world. 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. Along the way, she enlists the help of African American preservationist and veteran activist Peggy King Jorde, who makes important connections in their shared history.

Buried is available with Swahili and isiZulu translated subtitles which can be applied in video settings. The synopsis is available in both languages below.

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. Kodwa, ngenkathi engamele ukwakhiwa kwesikhumulo sezindiza okwase kuyisikhathi eside silindelwe esiqhingini, u-Annina van Neel wezwa ukuthi kwakutholwe izinkulungwane zemizimba yabantu base-Afrika ababeyizigqila, okwembula umkhondo obaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni wokuthengiswa kwezigqila olwandle lwase-Atlantic. U-Annina uzama ukusiza abantu bakulesi siqhingi (iningi labo eliyizizukulwane zalezo zigqila) ukuba bahloniphe umlando, benze nesikhumbuzo esifanele. Kule mizamo yakhe, ucela usizo lwabalwela ukulondolozwa komlando waBantu Abamnyama BaseMelika kanye nolwesishoshovu esingumakadebona uPeggy King Jorde, ongumxhumanisi okubalulekile emlandweni wabo.

The Legendary KRS-One - Between Da Protests   (Full Album)
The Legendary KRS-One - Between Da Protests (Full Album) Kwabena Ofori Osei 30 Views • 2 years ago

"By now it is clear, KRS-One is indeed THE GREATEST RAPPER/EMCEE OF ALL TIME! 22 dope albums over a 35-year period? No rapper/emcee has ever reached this legitimate level of excellence and skill. NO ONE! Already proclaimed “a classic”, KRS-One returns with his 23rd album project Between Da Protests which balances revolutionary themes with raw street-poetry over what KRS-One calls “boom-bap beats”. With songs like “Don’t Fall For It”, “Black Black Black”, “Free (The Book Song)” and “Boom Bye Bye”, KRS-One addresses the concerns of average people, working people, thinking people. And while the revolutionary-minded will find much in Between Da Protests to be excited about, it is songs like “Opening Remarks”, “Tight” and “Medu Neter” that remind us just how dope KRS-One actually is on the mic (in studio or live). Between Da Protests—another authentic Hip Hop album project by KRS-One. “Turn The Volume Up”.
