it goes all the way back to the days when the first africans were offloaded on to american shores into this strange land and sold into slavery. and believe me, they were not marching in protest on the auction blocks, and they were not holding sittins at the plantation manor dining room table seeking a seat at the table. what were they doing? they were organizing struggles, escape, revolt, sabotage, . -- sabotage assassination. , they were organizing. that tradition of community organizing which we encountered in the 1960's has been handed down from generation to generation, and now we hand it to your generation, patrisse. thank you.

focus on the pirates that operated out of the american colonies were plundered ships along the american shore. so the book is split up into two sections, before 1700 and after 1700. before 1700 pirates and the colonies were accepted with open arms because here the colonies were on the edge of empire, they didn't like how england was treating them and the pirates were coming from the caribbean and also from the red sea and they were going there and tagging muslimships and bringing their riches back to the colonies .so governors were states letters of mark to pirates and when they came back to the colonies with their money they were reintegrated into those colonies. england shut down that piracy about 1700 and afterwards the spanish accession which ended in 1713, piracy became roaring back and that's the rdtype of piracy most of you no doubt are familiar with, that's when blackbeard was on the scene. i find it funny blackbeard is the most outsized pirates there is, it's the one most people have heard about but he was only a pirate for a year and a half.he didn't have a particularly successful c

for millions of people who have fled to these shores, that is exactly what it has been. that is only part of the americane africans who were brought to these shores against their will, the majority of america was not a journey to the promised land. these men and women were not searching for the new homeland. they were being forced to leave one. their voice in this country was spent in the conditions of unspeakable brutality. end of the journey, it was not freedom that awaited them outage. after hundredsnd of years in the desert. we are here in emancipation hall, named for the slaves who helped build the capital building, labored to build a symbol of freedom, that they had no part of in a home for a government that they could participate in. it's essential that we remember this part of the american story. men, womenmember the and children who are brought to this country against their will, kept in chains in a land dedicated to freedom. one doing the sins of the past. but remembering them is an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the new freedom which lincoln spoke of, to renew the promise of liberty fo
