Try to watch the film. Its on Netflix. And if you can listen to Kamau on our Youtube channel, on Spotify, or if you don’t want to be tracked and targeted for ads, you can listen on our website. He drops some serious knowledge. 6/6

Recovering Our History From Deep Waters - Nubian Tigers Podcast

We are in another cycle where racists are trying to suppress African American history. It’s very important that Black folks do their genealogy and understand their family lines. Although we mentioned genealogy in a previous show, we haven’t talked about it in depth.. By chance, we met the director of a film called DESCENDANT which ... Recovering Our History From Deep Waters

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Clotilda #Africatown #KamauSadiki #AfricanAmericanHistory The film heavily features DWP diver Kamau Sadiki, who has participated on teams working on the recovery of 5 wrecked slave ships. Through some hard work, tenacity, and a stroke of good luck we were able to interview Kamau on our podcast. He has an emotionally moving connection with our ancestors lost in the enslavement era, and talked about the importance of remembering them. 5/6

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Clotilda #Africatown #KamauSadiki #AfricanAmericanHistory A few months back, I was fortunate to meet the director of the film entitled DESCENDANT which tells the story of the Clotilda, its people and the saga of trying to locate and salvage the Clotilda wreck, which was believed to be the the Mobile River. Divers With a Purpose (DWP) assisted with locating and recovering the wreck. 4/6

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Clotilda #Africatown #KamauSadiki #AfricanAmericanHistory They succeeded in bringing 100 kidnapped and enslaved Africans to Mobile. The people were sold and the ship was burned to cover up their wrong doing. When the civil war ended those Africans had only been here for 5 years. They knew who they were and remembered where they came from. Some of them founded Africatown outside of Mobile AL and their descendants still live there today. 3/6

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Clotilda #Africatown #KamauSadiki #AfricanAmericanHistory I think @Deglassco may have written about the Clotilda, a wrecked slave ship. Two white men in Mobile AL made a bet that they could get some kidnapped Africans and forcibly transport them to the US in 1860, about 50 years after the importation of Africans for the purpose of enslavement was banned. 2/6

Those who follow me know I don’t usually attempt to educate on African American history. There are a few talented members of the community who enjoy that and do it as service. I’m going to make a small exception in this thread to my usual refusal, to talk about the last slave ship that entered the US and also boost some of my work. 1/6

#CODEPINK Demands #Biden Pardon the #Activists and #Whistleblowers

Dec. 18, 2024

"CODEPINK calls for the pardon of several political prisoners, activists, lawyers and other individuals who faced targeted prosecution or unjust imprisonment. President Biden has just over 30 days left in the Oval Office where he can exercise his pardon power. In recent weeks, he pardoned his own son, fraudsters, and a former judge who took millions in kickbacks to send children to prison under false charges. We demand President Biden issue pardons to whistleblowers, truth tellers, activists, and land-defenders such as:

"CODEPINK believes that to build a more just and peaceful world, we have to protect the people and our planet. The United States has a long history of repression, unjust prosecution, and wrongful imprisonment of activists who strive to make the world a better place.

"Figures like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, John Kiriakou and other whistleblowers who faced prosecution for telling the world the truth about the US military, CIA torture, or the US surveillance apparatus have done the people of the world a great service. Their bravery and great personal sacrifice shed a light on grave injustices that were being carried out in the name of the American people without their knowledge.

"Indigenous activists like Leonard Peltier who’s case was riddled with recanted statements from key witnesses and other due process issues, is serving two consecutive life sentences at the age of 80. He’s been in prison since 1976 and maintains his innocence.

"Steven Donziger, a lawyer that fought on behalf of the indigenous people of the Ecuadorian amazon against Chevron’s harm to their land, faced prosecution as a retaliation from the Chevron company. Activists defending our earth and our rights and individuals shedding light on injustice play a vital role in our mission to educate on war and imperialism. We send them our solidarity.

"We also recognize the prison system in the United States as a tool of the war economy that disproportionately prosecutes and locks-up poor people and people of color. As an organization, we teach that the war industry, prison industry, and all oppressive systems in the U.S. are interlinked.

"Free all political prisoners, end repression of peace and justice advocates!"
