    I show these to my children. These documentaries you give us about Black America is as close to history not told in schools as we can get. There lots about Africa but we need to know about ours. Rich and Cultivative. Thank you as always.

      @@billsmlth5381 Why don't you just say something nice about your heritage like this young woman did? Instead of acting like she said Black folks are the only ones who play music...she did not say that, did she? Are you THAT scared of Black dignity? You're insecure comment immediately struck me as a white nationalist sort of thing to say, so I checked out your page. The Irish were MOSTLY indentured slaves. There have been white slaves in history, sure. No dispute. But the numbers don't lie. Millions and millions of Africans were taken from their homeland. It's been well documented several hundreds of times over. I have a lot of Irish in me, too, lad. But it docent mean I get to be a racist. If there is a race who has clout in their prejudices, its Black people in America.
      Stop being silly? What a condescending thing to say. And look...she handled that shit with grace. And you stuck your foot in your mouth.

    So proud to be Black! Begins with the African rhythm,drum. Translated by the kidnapped to Brazil with Samba, Puerto Rico with Salsa, Dominican Republic with Merengue. Caribbean with Reggae . The 🇺🇸 USA which took the their inherited DNA of African rhythm and created new sounds of Jazz, Gospel, rhythm and blues, The Blues, Soul music of James Brown and world renowned MICHAEL JACKSON. AS me being a descendant of a kidnapped enslaved brought to the America's so proud we kept the memory of African rhythm. Song helped my people to keep on while being enslaved. Just so I being their Great great grand child could be here today. I thank them. I honor them. Will never forget their sacrifice 🙏 💔 And my children have taken the African rhythm to express themselves with hip-hop which is now 40 years old and Rap. The African rhythm keeps on, constantly used to define the next generation. Power to the Rhythm! Thank you Mother. in my church we don't sit solemn and quiet. WE sing dance and shout and sometimes even catch a spirit.

    look at Irene Cara's hair just like mine, thick beautiful and long. back then we care about our naturalness. look at the beautiful Hattie Winston. her hair looks great. this song sounded sweet but mid tempt Donna summer can sing. she's also sung in the German version of the me nobody knows. she got great beautiful hair but sometimes in the stadium arenas she wore wigs and hair falls.

    It is presentations like these which remind me of how we have barely stepped out the door from a place where some percentage of us uncovered Europa's "paper genocide", in regard to the the *true* and *actual* identities of the majority of so called negros di tierra - and now - 'African' American people. *Most of us were here already* . The 'Trans AT Slave Trade Database' has recently and nonchalantly corrected their number of "Africans transported to America" from 12.5-million to 92,000. As if that is *not* a significant update deserving of an announcement. They also added the "Inter-Americas Trade" to the interface. The Northeastern Aboriginal Turtle Island tribes were relentlessly enslaved and shipped to the Caribbean, Africa and Europe because they were consistently uprising against the incursion of the 'colonies'. The Spanish priests who documented the exploits of the colonialist thieves were clear that the people they encountered looked just like the "Ethiopians". They also detailed some interesting cultural practices: always telling stories and transmitting information and knowledge through *rhyming* discourse; enjoyed singing, dancing and playing musical instruments daily and were "fond of *ball games* of every sort". Sound familiar? Africans do not have a culture centered around ball games. The cultural influence of so-called 'black' people upon "America" is predominantly an indigenous one. These squatters know who we are - that is the *real* reason why they call Jazz "American music".

    Thanks for grudging this "documentary" out of the woodworks . Great rare footage- just too stereotypical of how some want to explain America'n Music.. Please as you watch this keep searching ....look at as many you tube videos on the "Black Experience " as you have time for... Please also look for the "roots" of country music. - very intertwined - It takes a true musical historian to disseminate where the great divide of different genre of music start- This documentary was not written by one.
