"Never let anybody tell you and me the odds are against us—I don’t even want to hear that. As soon as you think the odds are against you, forget it. The odds are not against you. The odds are against you only when you’re scared. The only things that makes odds against you is a scared mind. When you get all of that fright off of you, there’s no such thing as odds against you. Because when a man knows that when he starts playing with you, he’s got to kill you, that man is not going to play with you. But if he knows when he’s playing with you that you’re going to back up and be nonviolent and peaceful and respectable and responsible, why, you and me will never come out of his claws.

Let him know that you’re peaceful, let him know that you’re respectful and you respect him, and that you’re law-abiding, and that you want to be a good citizen, and all those right-thinking things. But let him know at the same time that you’re ready to do to him what he’s been trying to do to you. And then you’ll always have peace. You’ll always have it. Learn a lesson from history, learn a lesson from history.

I must say this once before we close. I don’t want you to think that I’m coming back here to rabble-rouse, or to get somebody excited. I don’t think you have to excite our people; the man already has excited us. And I don’t want you to think that I’m ready for some unintelligent action, or some irresponsible action, or for just any old thing just to be doing something. No. I hope that all of us can sit down with a cool head and a clear mind and analyze the situation, in the back room, anywhere, analyze the situation; and after we give the proper analysis of what we’re confronted by, then let us be bold enough to take whatever steps that analysis says must be taken. Once we get it, then let’s do it, and we’ll be able to get some kind of result in this freedom struggle."

Why Didn't We Fight Back? - Introduction to Gullah & Black Seminole Wars by Baba Wekesa Madzimoyo of AYA Educational Institute https://www.ayaed.com

The islands of San Andres, Providence/Providencia, and Santa Catalina, were originally colonized by the british and therefore are more culturally similar to the other Black populated english-speaking Caribbean islands, although they are a departamento (akin to state in the u.s.) in the South "american" nation state of colombia today. This documentary shows how music brought by men who worked on the sea, connected them to other Black people and Black people music of the wider Caribbean.


From Original Source:
Wi Da Dis is a series of short documentaries that highlight the cultural aspect of the community of Old Providence and Santa Catalina Island, with a native point of view around our music, dance and gastronomy, pleased in four audiovisual archive to transmit this knowledge for generations to come. CARIBBEAN SOUND: The second chapter addresses the different musical genres that came to the island brought by sailors that travel in the Caribbean and used the sea to bring different rhythms and sounds to Providence and Santa Catalina.CREDITS: Direction and original idea - ROBERT BRITTONGeneral production - JENNIFER ARCHBOLD (Ad honorem) Field production - KAREN LIVINGSTONDirector´s assistant - NICOLE SCHNOORCamera and editing - JOEL PEÑALOZACamera and editing - GALVIS NEWBALLOriginal music - JOHNY BRANDTSound assistant - NITCHMAN ROBINSONCover art - ARELIS HOWARDCover illustration - LUIS HOWARDVoice and narration - CHARLIE ARCHBOLDInvestigation assistant - MIGUEL PENILLAGeneral consulting - RICARDO VEGAPostproduction - NICOLA MORETTI More info: www.oldprovidencerecords.com
