"Thomas Jefferson Was a Racist and a Betrayer!"

In a clip from Ep. 68 of #InClasswithCarr, Dr. Greg Carr talks about how Thomas Jefferson betrayed his friend Tadeusz Kościuszko, who left Jefferson money in his will to free those enslaved at Monticello, educate them and set them up in life. He did not. Dr. Greg Carr (@AfricanaCarr on Twitter) tells Tonya Pinkins (@TonyaPinkins on Twitter) why he didn't do it. #History #ThomasJefferson #Kościuszko #InClasswithCarr

    @knarrative Thank you all for this platform as a service to black people. God bless Professor Hunter and my Man!!! Dr. Greg Carr!!!! I visited NYC a couple of weeks ago towards the end of June. And I traveled between all 5 boroughs. I can't say that I had ever crossed or paid attention to the Tadeusz Kościuszko Bridge before in NYC. I remember that day looking up that name because it meant nothing to me. I saw that he was a military general and was of Polish-Lithuanian descent. It still meant nothing to me! BUT now after listening to Dr. Carr and reading more, it is coming together. Thank you Dr. Carr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to school and told my teacher who denied it all. But, as we know this fact was proven fact on the Oprah Show years later and confirmed my Grandmother"s word of mouth story.

    To clarify several facts. You stated that the arrangement between Kosciuszko and Jefferson was in 1798. That would have placed it under the manumission law, owners right to free slaves without government approval, of 1782.This law was basically created by Jefferson's work. This law was changed due to the Gabriel Slave rebellion of 1800 and the fact that so many slave were freed in Virginia it frightened the populace. Therefore, a new manumission act was created in 1806 that virtually stopped manumissions. Also, the will in questioned was challenged in Court and finally resolved in 1852 by the Supreme Court invalidating the will with Jefferson.

    Yes, Black people were present in pre-Columbian America. African explorers from Mali came to the Americas in the 1300's. I read a book in the 70's titled "They Came Before Columbus". I still have the book on my shelf. In it the author, Ivan Van Sertima, chronicles African presence in America long before Columbus. Fast forward to the transatlantic slave trade of the 15th century. While working in West Africa in the 80's, I visited Bunce Island, the old British slave fortress in Sierra Leone. This fortress was used to transport Africans to the American colonies.

    Where is the rest of this video.... I do not believe we as people of African descant really understand slavery and it's machinery. We think in term of the labor and cruelty and inhuman treatment. That brutality was used to force us to work, keep us afraid and inline. I have spent years thinking to myself, why did the Europeans specifically choose Africans to enslave..... As I learn more history and how our people live on the Continent it became clear to me It started 2000 years ago when Alexandra the Greek invaded Africa. He found a people that were educated, resourceful, hard working and civilize. They got thing done. Between 332 B.C.E and 1300 A.D. Africans built the Byzantine Empire for the Europeans. Spain would not be the country it is if not for the Africans. The first Christian Church and University was design and built by Africans for the Europeans. It is called the Hagar Sofia, the building still stands today. The European knew what we could do, and they knew that we could of build the new world as they called it the same way we build other civilizations And we did. It was not by accident African were enslave, it was a well thought out and executed plan. No one talks about the captured Africans who worked on the St. Peter Basillia, known today as the Vatican.... Look at the design of that building and that of the Hagar Sophia and see the same features... That in it's self goes into another history.
