I loved it thank you

He was the first European settler to come here and the first to section the land and call it his a practice unfamiliar to the Indians, but he didn't found anything. He owned a bunch of stuff though, had holdings as far away as New Orleans. He was a FREE man and he sold his holdings here and elsewhere after his wife and one of his kids died from illness and moved to a farm he bought near Saint Louis where he died in his 70s. None of his family were ever enslaved because he wasn't African, he was French and Haitian then he was an American and thought of himself as such. He was a formally educated man who spoke French English Spanish and just about every native dialect. He was an American and one of the first American heroes but he didn't "found" Chicago. Kinzie Hubbard and Clybourn founded it. In fact, Kinzie who wanted a PERMANENT Indian land around Chicago, bought the house Du Sable built. You can look on the original papers of incorporation with your own eyes if you like. Du Sable founded a trading post. Hubbard, Clybourn and Kinzie founded Chicago. But we love Dusable, he was a great man and pioneer.

Now riots are a cause to get some new sneakers.

Black people built Egypt and created Mathematics too, didn't you know.

Haïti et son peuple historique ont tellement apportés à l'Amérique et ce monde plus généralement, mais certains semblent l'oublier. Vivement qu'Haïti renaisse de ses cendres tel un phénix ! 🇭🇹🔥

This is a beautiful part of our beautiful Haitian history. The founder of Chicago. We always remember him. A beautiful part of American history as well.🙏💯

Very interesting insight! This was good to know. Dusable seemed like a very resilient black man.

Wasn't even her that crashed. It was the whyte guy

A truly peasant story despite a faiing. We know why. Was the Colone murdered? I woudn't be surprised. THEY ENDEAVOURED. My banner for the definct town. 😏☹️🌴 Island girl

What a blessing im happy to say thank you for fighting for your family love you much

Without Black History, there isn't any history.

Figures,that explains everything

Before 1960 cities in the NE were prosperous loud and proud! Since then and especially in the last 25 yrs outflight be every demographic will no dought hollow out most large cities on the East Coast!

BTW anyone remember Howard street or the book? The street is not there anymore.

No mention of of route 280. Lots of whites displaced. Stop saying “white flight is due to racism”. Some whites want to move out of the city for a country life, so what? Others may not want to be victims of crime, so what? They didn’t create the crime and then leave.

The family history is fraudulent. He couldn't have been of Angolan ancestry because Angola didn't exist until the 1960s.

Great mini documentary.Keep up the wonderful work.👍🏾

💚✌🏽Iam a daughter of a Douglas and a Delaney from Mass. who married a Martin,lol Of course I wasn’t taught about this great black American in school. Thank you for this history lesson.🙏🏾

I just got to the part where it talks about Delaney's family, his grandfather Shango in particular. Is the movie Shango (which is fantastic, by the way) related to this story in any way? Obviously there are some supernatural elements to the film, and it probably isn't really supposed to he exactly historical, anyway. But i feel like the creators of that film bust have been familiar with Delaney, and this story through him. Idk

Of course I didn't learn this in American history.....imagine THAT 😊

The video indicated that Rev. Lewis Woodson was Delany's teacher and also mentioned John B. Vashon. Woodson and Vashon were very close, bonded by friendship and mission. Woodson was a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal church (A.M.E.). Martin Delaney lived with Vashon in the early days of his Pittsburgh residency. Vashon had a son named George. George was also one of Woodson's students. George was the first black American to graduate from Oberlin College. A few black students preceded George at Oberlin, but they did not succeed. George's success at Oberlin is, in part, a testament to Woodson's capabilities. Oberlin was a cutting-edge institution; 23 black Americans graduated from Oberlin before the Civil War. Delany is buried near the campus of Wilberforce Univ. in Ohio. Wilberforce is an A.M.E. institution. Woodson was a founder of Wilberforce. At the end of his brave and far-flung life, after sailing to Africa and serving in the U S Army in the Civil War, Delany ended up in the bosom of black America's rock, the African Methodist Episcopal church, - again.

Integration was never the answer Delaney foresaw this

Never heard of her. She is so inspirational and other worldly. She endured so much. I must be stronger.

I am so glad that I met him. His origins are fascinating and his exploits are inspirational. An American we can all be proud of and learn the power of forging human relations that promote humanity to brotherhood.

Appreciation and Thanks for bringing us this information and knowledge of one of our great and remarkable heroes. Martin Delany’s mother was a strong wise woman who wanted good for her children,. Martin did very well..Stories like these make me feel proud.

The government told caretakers, the only way they get the grant money is to lie about what really happened. The railroad wanted the property, Allentown refused to sale, days later animals died and crops died ,the land in the area is still poison. Government told the caretakers to tell the tourist that Mr Allen allenworth made bad business decisions.

He’s not a Haitian. He was a black American

There was a black man that founded America on the ship with Columbus

Always my shero. I'm sure Threresa Claiborne was inspired by her as well. Theses ladies are inspiring no question.

Its a made up fake meaningless day to shut black people up about their constant complaining about something that hasn't existed for over 200 years. Ridiculous!!

Of all of the atrocities committed towards blacks in this country, EVERYDAY should be a holiday. This story is only one story, interestingly made into a holiday. From state to state, nationwide, you will learn that there are horrible stories to follow about the blacks that lived there. The one that sticks with me is Natchez Mississippi, known as the devils punch bowl. To the reader of my comment, i am sure you have a story as well.

The first known reference to the site of the current city of Chicago as "Checagou" was by Robert de LaSalle around 1679 in a memoir. Henri Joutel, in his journal of 1688, noted that the wild garlic, called "chicagoua," grew abundantly in the area. Jean Baptiste did not create the city; he was the first resident who was not of the land. There is so much misinformation about this. Also, John Baptiste showed up there in 1780; it was already a city before then. William B. Ogden Chicago's first mayor, William B. Ogden (1837-1838), was a founding father not only of the city (because he wrote its first charter) but of the Chicago & North Western Railway, and was a principal in the nation's first transcontinental railroad. The first known reference to the site of the current city of Chicago as “Checagou” was by Robert de La Salle around 1679 in a memoir.

never happened this is revisionist history that's not true

Almost sounds like her death was staged. Then, in an attempt to make this look like an accident you plunges into a spiral, but then loses control of the plane himself. America was not ready for people of color to do the things that she was trying to do at that time. It’s a tragedy.America is the only nation that I am aware of that kills its own.😢

Born and raised in newark

No, Juneteenth is not a day to observe the end of slavery. It's a day Democrats celebrate themselves catching up to Republicans after 2.5 years. Democrats shorten "June-Nineteenth" to Juneteenth because they think, sorry they feel, Black people can't handle middle syllables. May Obama pass out dry goods to all you comrades.

Melinated people lived in America (Amaru) and Europe long before Caucasians took over. African Americans are mostly a mixture of native(who were dark) and Moorish blood. Moors ruled Europe long before the indo Europeans took over

What a great man with a good history, thank God for his kind father, as a Mariner who was willing to look beyond the present condition.

Yes, My Name Is Christele Augustin, I'm Bessie Coleman, That How It Goes For Black Female In Black History Month, That's What Happen And Guess What I Still Look The Same, Thanks

Now I understand why there are So many gang related shootings. I knew a black man had done something extremely major in Chicago. Because the news portrays Chicago as a place of bad black people shooting up folks like a wild wild western place! when we know the large population not even black.

It's no surprise that Slave Owners (100% Democrats) tricked the Freed Slaves. 😒 Nothing has changed since then. The Democrat Party keeps slaves on the Welfare Plantation to this very day - in exchange for their votes. 😒 The Democrat Party cares NOTHING about them otherwise. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. 😒 The Democrat Party has NEVER been a "friend" to Black Americans. They are just pawns for the Democrat Party to maintain power, nothing more. 😒 The Democrat Party is just as EVIL and Racist today as they were when Lincoln (R) set their slaves free. NOTHING has changed.

I’m born and raised in Galveston TX. I still live here. It’s said that our community still do they it. Once I found out the truth I stop celebrating the foolery.

Ed sunn keep it strong black America fight to the end

THE TRUE GENTLMEN OF THE PASSENGR TRAINS PULLLING PULLMAN CARS. Courteous, kind helpful, reliable and when you needed help a Pullman Porter showed up.

Slavery is a choice!!

Was it not December 18, 1865 that the 13th amendment was ratified and that up until that time, two northern states Kentucky and Delaware still legally had slaves.

What about on December 18th when Delaware and Kentucky, who both fought for the union, were forced to give up their slaves??
