Slavery Ended And Left Its False Images

Africans In The United States Must Remember That The Slave Ships Brought No West Indians, No Caribbeans, No Jamaicans Or Trinidadians Or Barbadians To This Hemisphere. The Slave Ships Brought Only African People And Most Of Us Took The Semblance Of Nationality From The Places Where Slave Ships Dropped Us Off.

My Loving Sister Mary Has Always Shared The Pain And Pleasure Of My Heartbeat In A Unique And Special Way. We Have Sung Our Sad And Warm Songs Together.
