- Watch Drunk History: Black Stories to learn a thing or two about historical Black figures. But be careful, drink responsibly.
This story, told by Comedian Thanyia Moore, is about Mary Seacole, one of the pioneers of modern nursing and all-round healing OG. Born in Jamaica, she had a passion for medicine, healing and nursery. Seeking to help injured soldiers fighting in the Crimean War she faced rejections from both the British War Office and even Florence Nightingale herself. Despite this she travelled all the way to Crimea to set up a frontline medical hotel to aid sick and recovering soldiers during the war. She was a legendary black heroine who deserves to be remembered for her selfless and courageous actions.

I'm currently in rehearsals for a play about Mary Seacole called Marys Seacole and this was both hilarious and accurate lol
I see my previous reply to you has been deleted, that's fine, it proves that you KNOW that what I said was true...and the rubbish spouted on this so-called "history" is TOTALLY INCORRECT
We Need way more of these!
If my family is correct in our telling of history, I owe my great-great grandfather’s life to her.
❤
I love this show!!!!!
Us too!!!!
Learned about Mary Seacole from Horrible Histories, I'm glad her name's getting out there more.
Florence Nightingale was rich and easy to market but Mary was a pioneer.
💣
mary was not a nurse do ya research
Talk about rewriting history 😂😂😂
Love these 👏🏾👏🏾🤣
I have no idea how much is true but FUCKING brilliant as the English say.
We do say that. And it's all true!
@@comedycentraluk I mean lots of comments are saying her actual diary contradicts a lot of this episode, so…
@@comedycentraluk Its fake history.
This show needs to stop being so hard to find.
This is a new series so we only have two episodes out at the moment
For real!!!
@@nonsoanozie6833 Oga..!
@@acharich sup bro
She was not a nurse she went there to open a hotel and make a profit. This is from her own diary
Roehampton University has named its medical training centre after
MARY SECOLE
Now I’m reading conflicting reports about her background .
Did she actually practice medicine or not?
If you read her book, she describes how she treated malaria patients by giving them lead and mercury.
We do things like that today in modern medicine.
She was certainly underrated as a mass poisoner.
source - trust me
Underated
Oh this is *killing* it and me! XD
Why cut the bit when he exclaims _"back then?"_ and then he gets a cheers?
Actually , this is a lie . You can read about Mary Seacole , in her own words , her memoirs are available . She was not a nurse and had no interest in medicine . She was an entrepreneur who collected luxury goods during the war . Toward the end of the war she went to the Crimea and opened a hotel which served officers and the rich only and sold luxury goods . She did not get to sell all of her luxury goods before the war was over and went bankrupt . Mary Seacole disagrees with you , in her words .
This is propaganda .
Are those proven to be her words or another diversion to discredit her works as done to countless women in history?…
@@ragantate3995 This is easy to verify for yourself .
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'll be racist later, lol.
Nice show! I hope it continues.
So Mary's own writing in her diaries are fiction?go figure
Shameful lies
😅✨👏
Check the facts
What a load of nonsense
Though this isn't the best story telling. This is surprisingly true
What makes it nonsense?
🤣🤣
