Ces assertions d’une façon permanente, reviennent dans les conversations… Ces gens là « entendons les Nègres de l’Afrique et de la Caraïbe »ne sont pas crédibles, incapables de s’entendre pour être constructifs, de grands enfants, dont l’Humanité pourrait se passer de leur existence »...il est vrai que certains comportements, et des propos irresponsables venant de nos propres rangs, tendraient à accréditer ces thèses.

Most of slavery reparations suit thrown out

December 14, 2006
BY MIKE ROBINSON
A federal appeals court on Wednesday rejected most claims by slave descendants that they deserve reparations from some of the nation's biggest insurers, banks and transportation companies.

If the descendants could collect damages for wrongs against their ancestors ''statutes of limitations would be toothless,'' the panel said.

''A person whose ancestor had been wronged a thousand years ago could sue on the ground that it was a continuing wrong and he is one of the victims,''...

Slavery San Antonio Style



By Mario Salas

In San Antonio, African American slaves were sold twice a week at the auction houses of such well known names as Henry Burns, John M. Carolan, Charles F. King, George Collamer, WD. Greenwood and Company, J. N. Henriques, E. J. McLane, and Francis Giraud. Reportedly, in the 1800s, the first slave in San Antonio was William Baylor, though this appears untrue because of the Spanish slave system that existed with the arrival of the Canary Islanders in the 1700s, and the Spanish slave system that existed in Mexico in the 1500s....

Slavery, the Shoah and Restitution

Monday 4th of December 2006

As the UK prepared to mark 200 years since the abolition of slavery in 2007, Tony Blair expressed his ‘deep sorrow’ over Britain’s role in the slave trade. However, for many, simple regret does not go far enough, with some campaigners calling for reparations akin to those paid to Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Esther Stanford, Secretary of Rendezvous of Victory - an African-led, cross-community heritage learning organisation – discusses the shared experience of persecution that demands restitution.

from his last name.

Just back from the AALS hiring conference--as in past years I was mightily impressed with the people we met. Lots of thoughtful research agendas.

In light of feedback to my post on the report of Brown University's steering committee on slavery and justice, I thought that I'd begin a short reading list on slavery and on reparations as well. I told the Brown Daily Herald that I think the Steering Committee's report is the best single volume ever written on reparations for slavery. So for an excellent introduction,...

When African Americans begin to erect monuments to some of the greatest heroes of black history, one white politician who deserves a prominent place in the "hall of heroes" is a person completely unknown to most blacks - Thaddeus Stevens (1792 - 1868). It is no exaggeration to say that Stevens did more than any other politician in American history - including Abraham Lincoln - to bring an end to slavery and help blacks start new...

OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The chairwoman of the African People Solidarity Committee says white residents of the United States should support reparations for African-Americans.

Penny Hess spoke to a reporter with the Oakland (Calif.) Tribune Friday on the eve of African People Solidarity Day. The activist is one of nine speakers at a Nov. 4-5 reparations event in Oakland and San Francisco. "The wealth of the West is built on slavery of African people," said Hess. "White people need to recognize it and support (reparations)."

BROWN UNIVERSITY'S DEBT TO SLAVERY

Monday, 23 October 2006
A long-awaited report on Brown University’s 18th-century links to slavery should dispel any lingering smugness among Northerners that slavery was essentially a Southern problem.

The report establishes that Brown did indeed benefit in its early years from money generated by the slave trade and by industries dependent on slavery. It did so in an era when slavery permeated the social and economic life of Rhode Island.
Slaves accounted for 10 percent of the state’s population...

Many liberals and also many people of the economic sector that we call the "blue collar" class, are for tougher immigration laws and little if no amnesty for people that have thumbed their noses at American laws and hopped over the border, or overstayed their visitor or student visas.

But a new S4C programme has laid bare the legacy of shame that led to many black Americans being burdened with Welsh names.

Along with other European immigrants, many of the early Welsh settlers in the US owned slaves.

And when they were freed, many of them took the last names...

It's 1807 and Britain has just passed the 1807 Slave Trade Abolition Act, a legal prelude to the end of one of history's abominations: slavery. The reaction of Blacks held in bondage in Barbados "appeared increasingly anxious and restless".

As Professor Hilary Beckles, perhaps the Caribbean's leading historian, explained it in his book, A History Of Barbados, the Black Bajan reaction was traceable to "their perception that...
