About Me

I was early snatched away from my native country, with about eighteen or twenty more boys and girls, as we were playing in a field. We lived but a few days' journey from the coast where we were kidnapped, and consigned to Grenada. Some of us attempted, in vain, to run away, but pistols and cutlasses were soon introduced, threatening, that if we offered to stir, we should all lie dead on the spot.We were soon led out of the way which we knew, and towards evening, as we came in sight of a town. I was soon conducted to a prison, for three days, where I heard the groans and cries of many, and saw some of my fellow-captives. But when a vessel arrived to conduct us away to the ship, it was a most horrible scene; there was nothing to be heard but the rattling of chains, smacking of whips, and the groans and cries of our fellow-men. Some would not stir from the ground, when they were lashed and beat in the most horrible manner.In the United States and the Caribbean especially, it is the institution of slavery that begins the development of Black centered political ideologies. To understand the formation of Black politics in the United States and the Caribbean, an analysis of Black freedom fighters against slavery is very necessary. Though they may not have known it at the time, these freedom fighters who struck blow after blow against the institution of slavery began the rallying cry for Black unity, freedom, rights and power.Outright rebellion was not unknown throughout the slaving world. It came on the slave ships as in the famous Amistad Mutiny. It came in Jamaica under the Maroons, escaped slaves who formed independent societies from which to attack their former masters. It came in Haiti under the leadership of Touissant L'Overture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines. It came in Trinidad in the Dagga Rebellion. It came to America in 1526 where Africans and their native allies rebelled against Spanish rule. Plots of rebellion and liberation were neverending thoughts on the minds of Africans, both slave and free.
