Justice versus conscience

salute to the makers of this short documentary

What was previously buried will inevitably be found again

I feel my Ancestors Spirit at the BURIAL GROUNDS…. I pay homage to them for their sacrifices and always admire their beautiful work in building NEW YORK CITY😇🙏🏾😭💐‼️💥💥💥. BLACK LIVES MATTER

Learning all this evil that been done to my people is unspeakable.

“The very name Wall Street is born of slavery, as they built a wall in 1653 to protect Dutch settlers from Indian raids.” It was built to keep out the English, and failed at that

So I’ve been lied to this wwwhhhoooleee time! This is crazy! But it makes sense as to why black folks are even treated a certain way today in NYC.

“Despite the harsh treatment.” But they were wrapped and burried with care and love. These people just don’t have it in them to tell the truth. If they had cared about and loved them so much, then they would’ve never enslaved my ancestors, in the first place!

Essential viewing for all Black New Yorkers.

This will never be taught in public schools in America. smh.

But it is still imperative that the truth be taught or else we will continue to breed tragic ignorance.

Fine work. Thank you for helping us all better understand strengths and weaknesses within U.S.A.

I would like to sit talk and eat bagels with Mr Singer…he seems to love to talk and on this subject of real history im all ears…

The complicity between North and South regarding Black peoples place in America is still happening,. Any injustice that can be done has and will continue to be done to us (Blacks), and other people of (Color) with little to no consequence for the perpetrator(s).

Thank you! This is an awesome and educational video.

Thank you, for this video..

Susan did a great job!

Follow the money !!!!!!!!!! Black Ivory – what a sick term for human life.

Never learned this in my elementary or high school, or when we visited The New York Experience (those of a certain age will remember that!). I do recall the African burial excavation. Thanks for posting.

This should be added to citizenships exams

This video piece makes me want to smash my cellular phone!!!! this is the aweful truth that America attempts to bury.

PAY EMPLOYEES A LIVING WAGE RATE

Burn school history books and refuse their version of history for you and/or your child. They should be sued for selling us false information.

I was taught we were the good guys up north… apparently not.

It a Santanic rituals of constant reminder of cruelty of a strife without cause lengend of bloodshed when violating the rights of others always came with consequences from bows and arrows to shoot guns and pistols.Some still carry slave ship diseases and robbed of last names of descendants before them , and without reparations.

Time To Tell The Truth Wait…I thought it was always time to tell it! How about… Time To Stop Ignoring The Truth. …for a title?

Note: rediscovery not ‘1900’s’ but ‘1990’s’

When he talks about domino sugar plant thats where Kara walker had her sugar sphinx to commemorate that history of that factory. I saw many People didn’t take what was being portrayed seriously at the time. I know i didn’t connect the dots untill now. Lol its cool the man talked about the plantation. Its interesting that everthing is so in your face about the true history of the north. No one can escape the truth. Even when you try to destroy it.

Here in 2020 and I’m so grateful this video came across my list!

Hey! I graduated from Lawrence Road & Uniondale High School Salute Black Long Island

Thank you it’s was very interesting

Black Ivory, a r&b group, sang Don’t Turn Around.

Ahh, I thought that was April. She mentioned many good things about this professor.

This should be shown in every US school.

Thank you so much, I learn more about the history of New York.

What one does in the dark will come to light. It’s too bad that people have especially Black people, have to dig, seek, find our own history. I have to pay to go to college to finally learn some truths and there’s still so much more to learn. When whites went through such great efforts to keep their secrets hidden, makes it that much harder. I appreciate this video.

It’s a painful history? Who is it more painful for.?

I’ve been trying to visit the burial site in Manhattan for years. I go to NYC every year, but in the bitter cold. It is difficult to get out and go to that part of town in that weather. I will get there this year!

I had no idea. Thank you so much for the information!

So much knowledge. This is why reparations are a good idea. So many successful companies built on the backs of slaves. Then these same companies want to act like they’re doing you a favor by giving you a job. GTFOH

I have added Dr Singers book to my collection.

The American school system helps to promote if not spearheads structural racism. It is not designed to expose its constituency who are complicit in the atrocities that brought them into power through the vehicle of “Racism”. They couldn’t elude to present day wealth wrought from the exploits of colonization and then American revolutionists. Lest they empower reparationists with concrete data to substantiate reparatory claims for the Africans diaspora

There was no real North or South..there was only money, greed and evil all wrapped together with the same purpose

Excellent! Thank you.

Magnificent presentation. Thank you very much!

Dominos has a plant in Baltimore also. All that free labor!!!

Thank you for this!

“Gracias” por compartir esta información, la verdad sirve para crear conciencia…

God bless you guys and your families

If a “Teacher” knows the truth of this African History and chooses not to teach it, they are willingly contributing to the cover up and hence, part of the problem. Wouldn’t it be nice if children of all colors were taught the truth of American History? This inclusion would go a long way to help heal the pain and shame of an portion of American History that had equal value to any other History of the Beautiful Country. I can’t help but think that if America would simply apply is incredible constitution to include EVERYONE, what a wonderful country this would actually be. If she would only do that, live up to its own ideals, so much progress can be made in relationship to race and equality. Be well.

All I can say is WOW 😮 and UNBELIEVABLE, BUT TRULY TRUE!!!!😐😑😭

Ron D. Your kind of thinking got us Enslaved and still have us Enslaved people in 2019

I look forward to the next episode on the Statue of Liberty.

Irish immigrants and African Americans lived together in Seneca Village in the 1850s and later

A common sign placed in work and shop windows. ’’ No Irish need apply” do not forget the Irish!

this sounds just like the city of Liverpool , a city financed by the slave trade but at least they have a huge museum in the city memorializing the wrong doing of the slave trade

I RARELY add public comments to YouTube videos. As a New Yorker, I am compelled to state how well this video was done and how it affirmed my thoughts on reparations.

So Wall St. hasnt really changed at all…

HIRE LABORERS PAY THEM EQUITABLY

When you see the History, you can not help seeing the need for reparations. So many “fortunes” were built on the backs of Black Americans.

It’s sad that ppl really think slavery didn’t happen in the North! Schools really need to emphasis the importance of History. The correct history.

If you want a real zinger, search how Rhode Island benefitted off of slavery and its role….. We are real info nerds on here, if we caught this one…..LET’S GO.

This and other such videos should be mandatory viewing for all self-righteous Northerners condemning the South for slavery as if the North were never involved. In fact–since white liebrals like facts so much–according to Wikipedia: “The systematic enslavement of African people in the United States began in New York…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_New_York_(state)

We, as Americans must forge ahead, digest and accept the past, come to understanding and move forward honestly and equally as fellow human beings Only then can we heal as a Nation proceeding into a prosperous and peaceful Society. Love, James Rhines.

Amazing (sad) video and stories

The city has a moral obligation to educate more New Yorkers about this horrifying past. I live here and had no clue it was the city with the 2nd highest number of slaves. Fascinating yet incredibly depressing video; I am glad that I clicked on this

An inconvenient truth

We forget that the “Northern” states also had legal chattel slavery for many decades. I think Connecticut had it until 1841.

name these 11 families. from Congo.

I kept telling folks NY was apart of the slave trade; no one believed me. Secondly, I once had a Grade school teacher tell me that slavery didn’t exist in NY…I knew she was lying to me. I knew then that she shouldn’t be teaching me anything cause she couldn’t even be honest with me about this…I found all this out on my own.

Damn I got that Citibank in TriBeCa every week becz I have an account there! I will be closing my account…smdh

Slavery aint gone. U just gotta be smart guys.

Slaves are free , however, there’s no land left to live on unless you buy it…

Dominoes Sugar…. began as a slavery… Tiffany Co. Began as a slavery… Leeman bros. Began as a slavery……

Yes, they do want to forget the wickedness that has taken place here and the way black people were treated here. The last thing anyone really wants to do is uncover the hideous and shameful things that our ancestors were put through. Painful, you damn right it is painful for those who are still here and are still under white supremacy.

CTYRL11

This is interesting

The iron work and pebble stones in New York city built by skilled Africans. African skills built America. Enslaved not slaves.

Very informative, am going to shoot a Music video in some of these areas about black history

The half has not been told.

Amerik… [edit 1: (kk)a… : since her inception…] Erecting statues(!) of LIBERTY.

Is this what Trump meant by the good old days 🤔

Is this what Trump meant by the good old days 🤔

Im trying to find small burial grounds in Maine. Seeking volunteer help

Except they forgot about the part where they just named natives black and put them into slavery. Oh wait, what, not all the slaves were from africa. But oh no can’t say that shit. Lmfao they never say that. Also I’m ashamed of you sister calling yourself a history professional and leaving out that history thatts the disgusting part.

So, I grew up in Peekskill NY. This doesn’t surprise me at all. Part of the Underground railroad went through what is now the beach shopping center. This was just about a mile away. Not to mention how neighborhoods IN the city were STRICTLY segregated. Jewish, Irish, Italian, Sicilian, etc etc. Gang activity was not uncommon between the communities due to prejudice.

What should we do about the Colombians who brought in all this crack which really enslaved the modern black Americans

We certainly have progressed having our First Black President and First Lady and family! Working together and not playing the name game. Every Continent in the day had their form of slavery. People selling their own people or enslaving them! We must move forward to a brighter day!

Wooden stocks and bondage ..stocks and bonds are only way to get that far ahead by having slave labor …

What was the curriculum called ???

Isn’t it evident that Europe and America owe Africa so much, I mean so much… to appease them for all these years of perpetual exploitation, extortion, brutality and what have you… isn’t it just obvious…

I had no idea there were slaves in NY.

So many corporations alive and still flourishing TODAY, BECAUSE OF my ancestors being bought, overworked and not being paid. Reparations don’t have to come from our own tax dollars if all of these corporations PAY WHAT THEY OWE!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This explains why I don’t like NY, can’t even be truthful about their involvement in slavery smh.

That was great! I think its extremely important though to teach where slavery began, in the African continents where tribes were selling captured other tribes to the Arabs. Then of course they were sold to europeans and then those came to the new world. The larger view of slavery keeps things in more of a world perspective.

Some of this is a little oversimplified. For instance, the criticism of Tiffany’s. It was founded by a man who got funding from his father who transported cotton that was grown by slaves… Bit of an attenuated connection… The broader point, about NYC’s history of slavery is important though.

New York the financial centre of the world ?………… what a joke . London beats the stats of New York as the world financial centre . Europe is the global attraction and that is not only London but Switzerland , Monaco etc etc . Wakey-wakey !

It amazes me how racists unjustly hate people that God created and they think they will inherit the kingdom of heaven. My people are not a mistake.

They owe reparations for slavery

I had to watch this for school:) who else

history of slavery in u.s.a with explanation nice

I wish we would just got to war wipe out the US start over and see what happens

Problem with that is slavery is still live snd well

Slavery is a national institution. Still today.

this would help black and white people out understand a bit more on what is going on ,,more and more you hide it the more its going to be crap fight ..time to grow up ….

There were plantations in S. I.

All good until “black lives matter” at the very end with deblasio

disgusting

Evil roots

So did dark skin Indians, did get thrown in with the “Africans”?

Rediscovered.. Just discarded, like garbage.. Namaste

Had no idea. Wow

And no one thinks we are owed reparations?????

Liar!!!!

This explains why NYC and upstate NY areSO very DIFFERENT. NYC and upstate NY are like two different cultures and countries. Upstate was populated by anti-slavery New England Puritans, many of whom ran the underground railways to help runaway slaves.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

Africans weren’t allowed to be buried on CHURCH GROUNDS. Did u catch that…?

BLM

Good info

No le pegue a mi negra.

history of slavery in u.s.a with explanation nice

What is there to understand about hate,murder,lynching,rape,etc.Please tell me,if you can.

Blah Blah Blah every race color and gender have endured slavery at some time. Get over it.

Which Wall St?

thanks

The true Hebrew lsrealites are aware of the Truth why the ancient Hebrew Israelites, the blacks ancestors were cursed into slavery by the Most High Elohim Yahuah for disobedience of Yahuah’s laws, statues, and commandments read Deuteronomy 28: 15-69. Today, Yahuah is awakening his people eyes to the Truth of their true identity and because of the awakening, we, the Hebrew Israelites now have a clear understanding of why the Atlantic Slave Trade was implemented. It’s biblical Truth. Every time our ancestors were disobedience to Yahuah’s laws, statues, and commandments, Elohim would put his chosen people into slavery in the hands of the Egyptian captivity, Assyria captivity, Babylon captivity, Medes and Persian captivity, Greece captivity, Rome captivity, United States American captivity and the final and last captivity is the United Nations, the New World Order. Now that the 400 years captivity has come to expire, Yahuah’s chosen people need to wake up, repent, and follow Yahuah’s commandments for our Lord and savior, Yahusha come to rescue us quickly and take us to our real home land in Jerusalem. What a glorious day that would be for Yahuah’s people.

It is not a AFRICAN burial ground it is a original BLACK AMERICA berial ground!.

Great job guys. U.S. history is disgusting. I’m ashamed to be an American but I’m proud to be of African decent. So CitiBank and Domino used slave labor. We have a Domino factory in my hometown. I don’t even want to buy that crap anymore

Slavery is a form of terrorism and a constant reminder of cruelty.

BLACK people are original of that contenant over the world And oprsssed by the cusens to take and change the history.

Ny try act like theyre so liberal & free loving yada yada sike they had their hands dirty in this too

Every State had Slavery. Everyone knows that. Not new news and if you think its new then you need to get educated

How about a memorial for Islam and slavery.

Jesus Christ is Lord and loves us all so much He took the punishment we deserved for our sins! All we have to do is trust and believe in Him

There is no need to sue because the Most High will Have His Venges so shall the Israelites, and YES they are trying to hide it because they never thought anyone in this time would find out about it, don’t trust them Thus Saith the Most High, they are liars right from the womb, Thus Saith The Most High

….But they HATE THE HEBREW, AMONG THEM THEN CLAIM TO LOVE THE MESSIAH…ITS PERVERSE AND CONVOLUTED…SEE J.A. ROGERS BOOKS AND THE BLACK PRESENCE IN THE BIBLE…

Karma

Hysterical population… sounds like today’s BLM movement.

Afrikanamericansain’tafrican!

Horrific, America history has always a nightmare for blacks.

Those were Ancient Indian Burial Grounds!!!!

nah dont hide it

What part did singers family play…

They were NOT Africans, they were Indians, Copper Colored Americans!!! Tell the Truth!!!

God will teach the truth rather you like it or not the salvery will be turned around thus saith the Lord you all that gain from the backs of the true Israelites shall be punished thus saith the Lord and we this is staring now these are the last days, you salve oppessor will reap what you sow as well as your children that live off the riches gain by the true people of this land the children of Iudah.

This is to much for me Iam african born and raised in East Africa I wonder if my ancestors where stolen from africa and brought here and buried like this this so despicable, the day the african continent will demand justice for all our people who we lost over the ages. African should never have to pay any countries and money for these stupid IMF debts, the continent is moaning upto now it’s never recovered.

No wonder God will judge the world; particularly America.

Not saying there were no so called Africans but this history of slavery in New York were actually of so called Caucasian peoples. They were placed on all of the islands aside from Virginia as penal colonies

Slavery was not unique to America at the time, it was a common practice for thousands of years before old rich white Christian men abolished it. The word ‘slave’ comes from the Slavic people of Eastern Europe. This is history and there is no reason to feel guilty or ashamed of things that you did not do.

Exactly. Slavery is an American institute. I don’t see the need to blast every part of our history but to live with it and learn from it. But if you really want to criticize people, criticize the United States not the Confederacy. The United States has other sins and u should not just focus on black lives matter. What about the indigenous peoples? What about racism and discrimination toward Irish immigrants. Latinos. CHINESE. Asian and Latino lives matter too yet they are ignored while the black people get the spotlight. All lives matter, people, and learn to respect each other.
