Book Description
REVEALING THE ONLY "PROCLAMATION OF FREEDOM" DOCUMENT (Emancipation Proclamation if you will) FOR WHITE SURVIVORS OF THE 1st WHITE SLAVE COLONY (IN VIRGINIA) THAT WAS OFFICIALLY ISSUED IN 1618 AD, BUT IT WAS DELIVERED IN 1619 AD. AND NOW, 400 YEARS LATER WITH TENS OF MILLIONS OF WHITE DESCENDANTS (OUR WHITE BROTHERS & SISTERS AND FELLOW AMERICANS), WITH US ALL CO-EXISTING AND HAVING THE ABILITY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT REVEALING THIS NOTED TRUTH, WE CAN ATTEMPT TO PLANT SEEDS FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS TO HELP HEAL THE MENTAL ILLNESS CALLED RACISM IN AMERICA, FOR THAT MATTER, GLOBALLY. WE BELIEVE THAT PLANTING SUCH SEEDS WILL ALLOW THE OLDER GENERATION TO DISPEL FALSE PRETEXTS PROMOTED ABOUT SLAVERY IN AMERICA WITHIN OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. IF THIS IS ATTEMPTED HENCEFORTH, TRUTH WILL EVENTUALLY REFLECT ITSELF THROUGH MOVIES/FILMS/LITERATURE/COMMUNICATIONS MEDIA ABOUT THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD FOR WHITE SLAVERY IN AMERICA FOR OVER 240 YEARS—1620 AD UNTIL PRESIDENT LINCOLN ISSUED THE 1863 EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION TO ABOLISH SLAVERY FOR WHITES & BLACKS … HENCE, WHAT SHORTLY FOLLOWED IN 1865 WAS THE 13TH AMENDMENT OF THE US CONSTITUTION THAT LEGALLY ABOLISHED SLAVERY AND INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE FOR THOSE WHO ESPOUSED SUCH STATUS. Go back in history with us over 400 years (1607 AD) to the 1st established English Colony in America, Virginia when the 1st system for the Institution of Indentured Servitude was attempted and failed in the New World but did succeed during the 1st Period of this launched institution that began in 1620 AD. From our formative years, however, we all learned that these Indentured Servants came from different parts of Europe to settle in the New World; but little did we know this was the 1st European Slave Colony in Virginia that lasted until 1619 AD. How do we know? Because 12-years later, in 1619, a 12-page document considered the Survivors' "Proclamation of Freedom" (Emancipation Proclamation if you will) presented in our 2nd eBook called "Novemberteenth / Aprilteenth" has been revealed, which makes this document to-date, 399 years old. And … we included a sneak preview of our Screenplay timeline for this 1st 12-year period (1607 to 1619 AD). After you read this scenario and hear some of the actual words of those who survived the 3 consecutive years of starvation (1607 to 1610) and 9 consecutive years of slavery (1610 to 1619) of these 1st 12-years--which is also presented in our 2nd eBook--challenge yourself to determine whether you can answer the 36 questions posed ... So, join us in this quest as we take a giant leap into: 1. Who really was the Indentured Servant in America for over 240 years [which had a double meaning, i.e. certain individuals in the colonies were subject to labor contracts while others were subject to the conditions of slavery--which equated itself to the process of underground White Slavery for over 240 years (based on authentic documentation)]; and 2. The 5 designated periods that evolved and represented the Institution of Indentured Servitude that later followed this 1st 12-year period of the Virginia Colony, 1607 to 1619 AD. Beyond those, find out more about from Whom, When, Why, and How the word "Negro" and its Cousin the "N" word got their negative wings for flight that is 600 years old. And last, learn why Nubian Pageant Systems called this Cultural Theme: “Indentured Servitude Unchained”

Book Description
HEAR YE, HEAR YE, HEAR YE !!! From all Rooftops & Skyscrapers around the world: I hold these truths to be self-evident that all the Virginia Colonial Records I read (London Court Records & the Virginia Company of London) were used to reflect the hard facts exposed in the eBooks “Indentured Servitude Unchained” and "Novemberteenth / Aprilteenth" to the best of my abilities for expression, and this paper is its supplement. Whereas, this document serves as the approval from Our Billions of Celestial Ancestors who came before Us to make these earth-shaking announcements to the World. Whereas, the Expose' of these hidden facts is America's "Worst kept Secret" for 400 years. Whereas, the Virginia Colonial Court and Company (Virginia Company of London) Records validate the authenticity of these events/documents for: •Documenting the 1st 12-year period of the Virginia Colony, 1607 to 1619 AD, and the next 4 years, 1620 to 1624. •Understanding why and how the idea of a System for Indentured Servitude was conceived and officially installed in the Virginia Colony that commenced in 1619 AD; and •Understanding who the intended Indentured Servant really was during this 1st 12-year period. Whereas, other Professionals have measured and assessed such authentic evidence and I rendered their conclusions to the facts reflected in this research paper/eBook: “In Denial: White Slavery in the Virginia Colony, 1607 to 1619 + Reasonable Cause for Reparations for Descendants of African Slaves;” Whereas, within this 1st 12-year period there comprised only White (European) Slaves of not more than 2,000 colonists. Whereas, based upon these noted Records, You (especially our Younger Generations), now, are Highly Justified to CLAIM that the majority years of the 1st 12-period of the Virginia Colony indulged itself with the practice of Slavery upon its inhabitants using harsh measures, Nine-Consecutive Years of Slavery while Three-Years were consumed with Consistent Starvation. Whereas, the Survivors' Testimonial Document of 1624 AD is archived in the Colonial Records of Virginia and set forth herein this paper. Whereas, the Survivors' Freedom Document dated November 1618 (Emancipation Proclamation if you will), officially called "Instructions to George Yeardley," declared absolute freedom to all the Survivors (roughly 400 inhabitants) has been hidden from the history books of American Public Education for over 400 years this past November 2018; this document was delivered to the Survivors of this Slave Colony in April 1619 AD. Whereas, it be known that the next 4 years, 1620 to 1624 AD, authenticated the beginning of a structured Institution/System for Indentured Servitude, distribution of acreage [Reparations], and why and how the Virginia Company of London was dissolved. Whereas, false narratives were promoted about the Virginia Colony and King James censored the Virginia Company of London Records. Whereas, the continued denial of Reparations to Descendants of African Slaves has hit the mark of 156 years to date. Whereas, the eBooks “Indentured Servitude Unchained” and “Novemberteenth / Aprilteenth” and/or this research paper contains separately almost 90 questions for one to use for assignments to pursue the answers contained; and Whereas, a Script for a Screenplay has been prepared for a movie/film of this 1st 12-year period of the Virginia Colony with a sneak preview of its timeline contained in this research paper. Now, Therefore, I, George Rainey, Jr. (Elder) do proclaim the aforementioned statements of the authenticity of factual events/documents stand, henceforth, certified because such facts were retrieved from the Colonial Records of Virginia.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye!!! In this 5th eBook/Book, considered NPS’s most significant (magnum opus) manuscript, I hold the set forth “truths to be self-evident that all” the Virginia Colonial Records I read (London Court Records & the Virginia Company of London) were used to reflect the hard facts exposed in the previous four (4) eBooks/Books to the best of my abilities for expression, and this research paper is its supplement which now makes this 10 year research project the product of a ‘5 eBook/Book Series’. Whereas, this document serves as the approval, again, from Our Billions of Celestial Ancestors who came before Us to make these earth-shaking announcements to the World. Whereas, the Expose' of these hidden facts is America's "Worst kept Secret" for over 400 years. Whereas, the Virginia Colonial Court and Company (Virginia Company of London) Records validate the authenticity of these events/documents for: 1) Documenting the 1st 12-year period of the Virginia Colony, 1607 to 1619 AD. 2) Now, based upon these noted Records, You (especially our Younger Generations) are Highly Justified to CLAIM that the majority years of this 1st 12-period of the Virginia Colony indulged itself in a period of sanctioned Institutional slavery (nine-consecutive years) upon its inhabitants using harsh measures, while the three previous years comprised a period of consistent starvation; and 3) From this research project, why and how this 1st 12 years embodied such conditions of slavery and starvation. Whereas, NPS has been granted, in October 2022, the U.S. Registered Tradename (Service Mark) “Novemberteenth / Aprilteenth” to fulfill the following ‘Goods and Services’: “Providing…publications in the nature of e-books and books in the field of education associated with the end of White Slavery in the Virginia Colony, November 18, 1618 AD and/or April 19, 1619 AD.” Whereas, another Historian measured and assessed such authentic evidence and I rendered his conclusions to this Book “Novemberteenth / Aprilteenth II;” Whereas, within this 1st 12-year period there comprised only White (European) Slaves of not more than 2,000 colonists. Whereas, the Survivors' Testimonial Document of 1624 AD is archived in the Colonial Records of Virginia and set forth herein this paper, and contained in it a shocking suggestion for the later generations, Us, to use: the application of the notion of Censure to determine whether their 12-year treatment in the Virginia Colony was ‘run morally and properly’. Whereas, the Survivors' Freedom Document dated November 18, 1618 (Emancipation Proclamation if you will), officially called "Instructions to George Yeardley," declared absolute freedom to all the Survivors (roughly 400 inhabitants) has been hidden from the history books of American Public Education for over 400 years this past November 2022; this document was delivered to the Survivors of this Slave Colony in April 19, 1619 AD. Whereas, it be known that the year 1619 AD, authenticated the beginning of a structured Institution/System for Indentured Servitude, and distribution of acreage ([Reparations] case law); and Whereas, a Script for a Screenplay has been prepared for a movie/film of this 1st 12-year period of the Virginia Colony with a sneak preview of its timeline contained in this research paper. Now, Therefore, I, George Rainey, Jr. (Elder) do proclaim the statements of authenticity of factual events/documents stand, henceforth, certified because such facts were retrieved from the Colonial Records of Virginia.

Book Description
In Unchained Voices, Vincent Carretta has assembled the most comprehensive anthology ever published of writings by eighteenth-century people of African descent, enabling many of these authors to be heard for the first time in two centuries. Their writings reflect the surprisingly diverse experiences of blacks on both sides of the Atlantic-America, Britain, the West Indies, and Africa-between 1760 and 1798. Letters, poems, captivity narratives, petitions, criminal autobiographies, economic treatises, travel accounts, and antislavery arguments were produced during a time of various and changing political and religious loyalties. Although the theme of liberation from physical or spiritual captivity runs throughout the collection, freedom also clearly led to hardship and disappointment for a number of these authors. Briton Hammon, James Albert Ukawsaw Gronniosaw, John Marrant, Ignatius Sancho, Ottobah Cugoano, and Olaudah Equiano told their stories as Afro-Britons who recognized the sovereignty of George III; Johnson Green, Belinda, Benjamin Banneker, and Venture Smith spoke and wrote as African Americans n the United States; Phillis Wheatley, initially an Afro-British poet, later chose an African American identity; Francis Williams and George Liele wrote in Jamaica; David George and Boston King, having served with the British forces in the American Revolution and later lived in Canada, composed their narratives as British subjects in the newly established settlement in Sierra Leone, Africa. In his introduction, Carretta reconstructs the historical and cultural context of the works, emphasizing the constraints of the eighteenth-century genres under which these authors wrote. The texts and annotations are based on extensive research in both published and manuscript holdings of archives in the United States and the United Kingdom. Appropriate for undergraduates as well as for scholars, Unchained Voices gives a clear sense of the major literary and cultural issues at the heart of African literature written in English.

Book Description
While the memorialization of slavery has generated an impressive number of publications, relatively few studies deal with this subject from a transnational, transdisciplinary and transracial standpoint. As a historical phenomenon that crossed borders and traversed national communities and ethnic groups producing alliances that did not overlap with received identities, slavery as well as its memory call for comparative investigations that may bring to light aspects obscured by the predominant visibility of US-American and British narratives of the past. This study addresses the memory of slavery from a transnational perspective. It brings into dialogue texts and practices from the transatlantic world, offering comparative analyses which interlace the variety of memories emerging in diverse national contexts and fields of study and shed light on the ways local countermemories have interacted with and responded to hegemonic narratives of slavery. The inclusion of Brazil and the French, English, and Spanish Caribbean alongside the United States and Europe, and the variety of investigative approaches-ranging from cinema, popular culture and visual culture studies to anthropology and literary studies-expand the current understanding of the slave past and how it is reimagined today. This fascinating book brings freshness to the topic by considering objects of investigation which have so far remained marginal in the academic debate, such as heroic memorials, civic landscape, white family sagas, Young Adult literature of slavery, Latin American telenovelas and filmic narrations within and beyond Hollywood. What emerges is a multifarious set of memories, which keep changing according to generation, race, gender, nation and political urgency and indicate the advancing of a dynamic, mobilized memorialization of slavery willing to move beyond mourning towards a more militant stand for justice. This is an important book for those interested in African American, American, and Latin American studies and working across literature, cinema, visual arts, and public culture. It will also be useful to public official and civil servants interested in the question of slavery and its present memory.

Book Description
The family, determined to honor the bicentennial of their founding ancestor's death by discovering everything possible about his life, opened burial plots in the hope of recovering DNA for genealogical tracing. What began as a scientific inquiry into African origins rapidly evolved into an interdisciplinary collaboration between historians, literary analysts, geographers, genealogists, anthropologists, political philosophers, genomic biologists, and, perhaps most revealingly, a poet. Their common goal has been to reconstruct the life of an extraordinary African American and to assay its implications for the sprawling, troubled eighteenth-century world of racial exploitation over which he triumphed.

Book Description
News media, film, and the music industry have become powerful sources of misrepresentation of Black male life in the social imagination of white society. The pedagogy of popular culture has important implications for educators and youth advocates who desire to challenge the myths and distortions that ultimately harm youth. This volume raises awareness of the media war on Black male youth in popular culture, and the impact this image battle has on the discriminatory treatment of the population in urban educational settings. Citing the recent controversial deaths of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis, the portrayal of black males in contemporary films, and the locus of hip-hop masculinities, this volume offers a unique framework for analyzing how contemporary image-making practices affect Black male youth in urban education. It also offers ethical considerations for educators in their critique, consumption and reading of Black male subjectivity in media, and provides avenues for practical applications of critical media literacy on the ground.
