Why do you feel preserving history is important to you? The infamous Middle Passage, the arduous journey of those enslaved. A voyage that created much of our cultural inheritance today. Embarked in a new environment. There was still vibrancy and a dynamic presence. That can be felt throughout the world. Even through a detrimental period in time.The sacred rhythm of dance, and cultural life was pervasive. Even in such horrific settings. The development of something new ,from material resources was established. Where contemporary forms ,and vernacular dances began to derive.Perilously, never suppressing their sensibility to continue. Enslaved craftsmen laid foundations of African American visual arts. Designing utilitarian objects filled with visual expression. Leaving their traces through many aspects; such as cuisine we indulge today. Which has molded and provided us, with mortality to transform our lives. Even in times of divide.We are consumed with the example, of empowering might. Bestowing upon us the zest to steadily transcend. Prevailing us to remove the ceiling of doubt. Urging us to have a fervent view!!
