Download or read book The Willie Lynch Letter and the Making of a Slave written by Willie Lynch and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willie Lynch, a British slave owner from the West Indies, stepped onto the shores of colonial Virginia in 1712, bearing secrets that would shape the fate of generations to come. Within this manuscript, allegedly transcribed from Lynch’s speech to American slaveholders on the banks of the James River, lies a blueprint for subjugation. Lynch’s genius lay not in brute force but in psychological warfare. He understood that to break a people, one must first break their spirit. His methods—pitiless and cunning—sowed seeds of distrust, pitting slave against slave, exploiting vulnerabilities, and perpetuating a cycle of suffering. This document sheds light on the brutal realities of slavery and the ways in which its legacy continues to shape contemporary society

Download or read book The Willie Lynch Letter: Aka the Making of a Slave (Annotated) written by Willie Lynch and published by . This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Willie Lynch Letter, aka The Making of a Slave, is one of the most controversial texts in African-American studies.It was purportedly written by Willie Lynch, a British West Indies plantation owner, and given to a group of Virginia slaveowners as a masterplan to keep Blacks enslaved -- not just physically but mentally as well -- using such tactics as pitting on slave against the other. Lynch, in his letter, says by using these tactics for just one year it will keep slaves mentally in chains for at least 300 years.Modern historians have asserted that the letter is a hoax, but most still agree that it's a text worth reading as it points out the different divides in the African-American community that seem specifically designed to keep the race from throwing off mental chains that impede communal progress.Includes foreword by Karen E. Quinones Miller, author of An Angry-Ass Black WomanIncludes excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave

Download or read book OURstory Unchained and Liberated from HIStory written by Frankie Felder and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A descendant's research uncovers intentionally-hidden, painful stories that built resilience, courage, compassion, and an abiding faith in God in her once enslaved family who lived and traveled dusty roads of rural towns in deep southern states. Discovering legacies these ancestors unknowingly passed down through generations made writing this historical narrative a must. The story provides a broader picture of the Felder family that arrived in 1735 from Switzerland and made their homes in South Carolina before heading west and South to Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. It brings the slaves' lives and perspectives into view, looks at multiple sides of the Civil War as it played out in communities lived in by the Felders and their neighbors, and provides background and context for Reconstruction and Jim Crowism in these communities. OURstory Unchained and Liberated from HIStory suggests that h-i-s-t-o-r-y is incomplete and, in fact, inaccurate, if it is not inclusive.In the family of her forebearers, Dr. Felder locates relatives who were slaves, fighters in the Civil War for both the Union and Confederate armies, educators, ministers, homeowners . . . and slave holders. Revealing unlikely and unsuspecting interactions with movers and shakers of history like Booker T. Washington, Jefferson Davis, President Taft, Julius Rosenwald, Ida B. Wells and Medgar Evers, OURstory reflects everyone's story. It postulates that an honest telling of h-i-s-t-o-r-y renders the past relevant to all of our lives, and it encourages African Americans, in particular, to begin the important search for the buried stories in their families. OURstory captures the relevance of knowing our history. The legacies of families must be researched, must be written, and must be told.
