ANGELO "BAREFOOT POOKIE" WHITE LIVING LEGACY OF GREAT BLACK LEADERSI am the product of the struggle fought by our legacy of Black folk raised in America. The birth of our community struggle began as early as the year 1619, when the Dutch introduced the first captured Africans to American plantations. The seeds of a slavery system that evolved into a nightmare of abuse and cruelty eventually led people to turn on each other in a quest for resources, power and control in a nation where they were put in a powerless situation for many years of abuse. From the moment the first African slaves were introduced, slavery began.Jamestown, Virginia was a colony where Africans were first brought into north America in 1619. The goal was to use us as a way to make money through crops and working the tobacco fields. The slavery industry continued to grow throughout the next two centuries. The economic system of much of North America was built by sweat and toil of our people. People got rich off of our backs, while building their new nation that we had no voice in controlling.It wasn't until some brave souls began the abolition movement in the north, that the centuries of abuse started to be challenged. The fight over whether our people should be freed divided a nation and resulted in a bloody bath war. The same mentality that made slavery kept our folk in less powerful and unequal situations until the civil rights era where America really challenged unequal practices for the first time.Torn from the rich soils from the motherland of Africa, the origin of our civilized culture where we were kings and queens and warriors, our ancestors found themselves on the shores of America, suddenly stripped and raped of all their dignity and power.Mass oppression during the Jim Crow Era worked to further silence our people, until we began to push back. The 1950's and 60's, when I grew up, was the era of the Black African youth baby boomer generation.The great Black African leaders paved the way for our stories to be written and eventually told.Beginning with our leaders Nat Turner, W.E.B. Dubois, Fredrick Douglass, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin L. King, Jr. Huey Newton, Fred Hampton, Sr. and Dr. Ron Karenga, all the way to the descendants of the 1950's and 60's Baby Boomer Generation of great Black leaders: Raymond Lee Washington, Sr. and Stanley "Big Tookie" Williams Both martyred and added their own efforts to the movement for Blacks, Fred Hampton, Jr., Melvin Hardy, Kevin "Good Buddy" Syvester, Louis and Michael Concepcion, and T. Manuel A.K.A. Capucino.
