Dr. Ọbádélé Kambon: The Afrikans Who Emancipated Themselves
Jamrock Restaurant Grand Opening & Emancipation Day Celebration
📅 1 August 2016
⏱ Duration: 36:55
Description:
Unlearn the myth. Retell the truth.
In this powerful and interactive presentation, Dr. Ọbádélé Kambon dismantles the eurasian-centric lie that chattel slavery ended due to white moral conscience. Instead, he exposes the fear motive—the global tremors caused by Black rebellions, most notably in Haiti and Jamaica—that forced the transformation of enslavement into modern neo-enslavement.
From ancient Ma’at (justice, reciprocity, truth) to Black uprisings across the so-called Americas, Dr. Kambon traces how Black people across centuries emancipated themselves through revolutionary action, not by begging for mercy.
This talk connects:
The Haitian Revolution and Jean-Jacques Dessalines’ justice
The Baptist War led by Samuel Sharpe in Jamaica
The Stono Rebellion, Nat Turner, Denmark Vesey, Amistad, and dozens more
The continuity of enslavement via the U.S. Constitution’s 13th Amendment loophole
How modern prison systems and police killings maintain the same racist agenda
🔊 Call-and-response energy.
📚 Deep history, primary sources, and ancient African thought.
🔥 Fearless truth-telling from an Afrikan-centered perspective.
Emancipation = Free Black Nation.
If you want to know what real liberation looked like (and still looks like), this is the lesson.
Bakari –
I’m watching this just days before folks in the snakkkes ‘celebrate’ juneteenth. It is neccesary that we wash out all the brain-dirtying with the concept of “some nice krakkkas saw it good to free the blacks”… when in actuality – it was fear. Salute to those who faught, and salute for this presentation which assists us in knowing what “justice and reciprocity” looks like in the eyes of our Ancestors! “Free Black Nation”
