On seeing this video, and incidentally being a minority of African Ancestry - living in racist Britain, I couldn't help but shout, I RISE, I RISE AND I RISE. Yeah, Mandela, Maya, du Boir, X, Tyson, Ali, Oprah, Martin Luther King, most of them with slave names, but with an undeniable sense of African pride, have brought me to this place. I forgive Winnie Mandela's exclusion, cause I believe in Black UNITY. yES i DO. AND STILL, I RISE.
Music by the poem titles, by bernard dadie (1.967). The lyrics are in Mende a west african language spoken. primarily in Liberia and Sierra Leone.Film "La Amistad".Dry your tears, Africa. Your children come back to you out the storms and squalls of fruitless journeys. Seca tus lagrimas Africa tus niños regresaran a ti fuera de las tormentas y chubascos de jornadas infructuosas.
I wish the photos of individuals had captions. I do not recognize all the faces, even though I wish I could.
