Yes, the slave's braids were used as maps, as escape routes, to the north, to be freed from slavery. (ex. the underground railroad). They also hid rice in their hair, to be able to feed themselves, while on the run.

I cry every time I watch this video (for obvious reasons lol). I absolutely loved the song when "The Gift" came out, but this visual hits hard! And, you're right. They used to use braids to hide slavery escape routes in hair. They also used to braid rice and other dried grains into the hair in case food options were scarce or taken away from them.

@@falonrobinson3465 The Lost History of Black Cotillions Last summer Miya Carey slid into the satin-and-lace history of African-American cotillions When her academic advisor told Miya Carey C’11 that her daughter was taking part in a debutante program in Essex County, the 21-year-old history major from East Windsor, N.J., wanted to know more. Carey’s curiosity led to a $3,000 fellowship that enabled her to conduct research last summer on the cultural significance of African-American cotillions, or debutante balls, in the first half of the 20th century. The practice of formally presenting young women to polite society with an ornate ball is well documented among privileged white Americans, but Carey says historians have largely overlooked black cotillions. “There’s nothing specifically written about them,” she says. “This is something that’s not really talked about that much. It makes it even better to research.” www.drew.edu/news/2010/11/15/thelosthistoryofblackcotillions

This song is very uplifting. Very empowering specially to those who have been the victim of bullying due to their races. I love listening to this song.
