We join Queen Amina's long generational journey in the southern most part of Alabama on the Plantation. . . |
||||
| Sorrow
was a prevailing theme and was expressed in songs
about death. Songs such as, "Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot" welcomed death. |
||||
|
The Plantation
was
seldom visited by a single ray of healthy public sentiment,
where slavery, rapt in its own congenial darkness, could and did
develop all
its malign and shocking characteristics . . .
|
||||
| where it could be indecent without shame, cruel without shuddering, and murderous without apprehension or fear of exposure, or punishment. | ||||
| |
||||
| In Africa, in America, in the West Indies, on a national and international scale, the millions of Negroes will raise their heads, rise up from their knees, and write some of the most massive and brilliant chapters in the history of revolutionary socialism. | ||||
| The Negro’s revolutionary history is rich, inspiring, and unknown. Negroes revolted against the slave raiders in Africa; they revolted against the slave traders on the Atlantic passage. They revolted on the plantations. | ||||
| The
racial prejudice that now stands in the way will bow before the
tremendous impact of the proletarian revolution. |
