The celebraton of the Haitian Revolution and the elimination and defeat of the French, Spanish and British oppressors from Haiti ALSO NEEDS TO BE CELEBRATED.

Yet the paradox of history is that while Blacks in Haiti defeated the French and turned Santo Domingo/Haiti into a free Black republic, Napoleon sold the Black Waschitaw's lands in what was the Louisiana Territories to the U.S. 800,000 to one million square miles of land was sold at three cents an acre.

The Black Washitaw Nation of Moundbuilders were driven off their lands and enslaved, while all their lands were "sold." (Read more on this issue from the facinating book, "A History of the African-Olmecs," pub. by 1stbooks Library, 2595 Vernal Pike, Bloomington, Indiana 47404 U.S.A. http://www.1stbooks.com

Along with the Washitaw, the Black Jamassee of Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and the Northern Florida region who had an important pre-Columbian kingdom in the Eastern U.S., fell victim to Spanish, British and Anglo-American enslavement. Their lands were taken and they were enslaved. Hence, millions of Blacks from California to Florida are descended from Blacks/Africans who were in North America before Columbus and owned lands from California to Florida.

Sad to say, slavery's objective was to destroyi the historical memory of Blacks, that is why Blacks caught reading were brutally attacked, had tongues cut out, and were the victims of the most horrific barbarity. Yet, some survived and told their children the facts. In fact, the grandmother of one lady from Monroe, Louisiana who was a slave knew quite well that Blacks owned parts of the Louisiana Territories since ancient times and that both the French and Spanish recognized an independant Black Washitaw Nation before the Westward Expansion and the selling of Black lands in the Louisiana Territories.

BLACKS IN THE SOUTH SHOULD STUDY THEIR HISTORY BEFORE SLAVERY AND REJECT THE SLAVE MENTALITY THAT BEGS FOR ACCEPTANCE WHEN SELF-DETERMINATION AND HUMAN RIGHTS IS THE REAL ISSUE.
