Cavs stay alive and the massacre in Orlando.

Remembering the Africans of the Middle Passage at Buckroe Beach -with Chandra Pittman and Kerri Trueman

Hampton, VA- For the 5th year in a row, The Sankofa Projects will host its annual International Day of Remembrance ceremony at Buckroe Beach. Remembrance honors the millions of African men, women and children who perished in the Middle Passage of the Transatlantic Enslavement Trade. The ceremony will take place on Saturday, June 11, 2016 at 11:00am at North 1st and Pilot Avenue beachside. Our sponsors for the third year are the Hampton History Museum and the City of Hampton Parks and Recreation.

“For over 400 years, more than 15 million men, women and children were the victims of the tragic transatlantic slave trade”, which was “the largest forced migration in history, and undeniably one of the most inhumane” according to the United Nations. “Millions perished during the slave trade and the massacre which occurred in Middle Passage is one of the untold stories of American and global history. The Sankofa Projects is committed to telling this story at Remembrance and honoring the Africans who never made it off the ships alive.” says Chadra Pittman Walke, Founder and Executive Director of The Sankofa Projects

JIMI HENDRIX

"I wish they'd had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would've been straightened out." 

"Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music."

"White collar conservative flashin down the street, pointing that plastic finger at me, they all assume my kind will drop and die, but I'm gonna wave my freak flag high.'

"The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar."

Babra Streisand

"The Way We Were"

 

Mem'ries,

Light the corners of my mind

Misty water-colored memories

Of the way we were

Scattered pictures,

Of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another

For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?

Or has time re-written every line?

If we had the chance to do it all again

Tell me, would we? Could we?

Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet

What's too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter

We will remember

Whenever we remember...

The way we were...

The way we were...

Eric "Monty" Morris is a ska singer, one of the foundation artists of original ska

Morris grew up in the Trench Town area of Kingston and like many singers of the era, Morris started by competing in talent contests in the early 1950s, including Vere Johns' Opportunity Hour, and made his first recording with Derrick Morgan. Morris went on to record several singles for Prince Buster and Duke Reid and was the original vocalist for The Skatalites. He also recorded as a duo with Roy Panton. Morris had a hit in 1961 with the song "Humpty Dumpty". In the wake of two big Jamaican hits with "Sammy Dead Oh" and "Oil in My Lamp" he performed in the United States at the 1964 New York World's Fair as part of a Jamaican group of musicians that also included Millie Small, Jimmy Cliff, and Byron Lee & the Dragonaires. He later recorded for Clancy Eccles in 1968, including the hit "Say What You're Saying", and for Lee "Scratch" Perry in 1969. Morris left the music business and emigrated to the United States.

His "Enna Bella" was used in the soundtrack of the 2003 Jim Jarmusch film Coffee and Cigarettes. His music has been included on many ska and reggae compilations.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_%22Monty%22_Morris caribbeanradioshow.com
