[@KC-gy5xw]

I know, at least she went on the field and was loved by the men she helped and saved - they had a subscription to help her as she spent all her money to help the men. I always think she was related to me because she married a Campbell, but I can't confirm it. Whatever, she should be more celebrated for her great work, dedication and kindness, as the men who knew of her realised and acknowledged

Sarah Rector would make a great story. Her father was enslaved, she was given land in Oklahoma. They found oil on her land and she became so insanely wealthy that even though she was black and indigenous, her race was legally changed to white.

[@doreensika837]

And they gave her a white guardian to “manage” her money.

[@siniebeck4821]

@doreensika837 But her guardian didn't screw her over like most other ones. Wealthy BIPOCs were often assigned white "guardians" to manage their money for them. They'd usually just spend the money on themselves. But TJ Porter actually looked out for Sarah's interests, and she was a multi millionaire by the time she was 18.

[@siniebeck4821]

When she finally left Oklahoma and moved to Missouri, she bought a house that's still there. Rector House is now a great non-profit.

[@JemimaTyoden]

Love your videos Lindsay. Just wanted to add that historically Yoruba was, and still is a tribe and language, not a place or village. So Sarah was not “born in Yoruba”, she was born in Oke Odan, which was one of the many Yoruba speaking villages/lands that existed. Additionally, saying at 3:55 that “His parents were also from Yoruba” is also incorrect.

Gonna say this once and for all for anyone whining about "historical inaccuracy" (esp w/ a diverse cast): UNLESS A FILM MARKETS ITSELF AS AIMING FOR HISTORICAL ACCURACY/MAKES THAT THEIR GOAL - they can do whatever they want with their characters. Also hi Ms. Holiday, I love your content and it inspired me to pursue my major in History, as well as my minor in education.

[@lucyjane3803]

Yup! When people are complaining about "historical accuracy" when it comes to the skintone of elves, dwarves, hobbits and mermaids....... you know their problem is nothing to do with actual history. All "historical drama" is essentially fantasy especially if the source is fiction, and IMO there is zero justification for excluding an entire group of actors from genre roles based solely on their skintone.

[@babyramses5066]

Agreed. A common complaint these days "Why are Romans/vikings/greeks black...it's not historical!" If we're going for we should be asking why are they always talking with British accents? People hate having their biases questioned though. 😊

[@babyramses5066]

​@lucyjane3803 great point. Reminds me of the time when some hunger games "fans" complained about Rue being black and that it made her death less sad. ..um ok then. She's black in the books bruh 🙃 if you're racist, just say that

[@popcornsprinkles8071]

I both agree and disagree. Multiple skin tones, sure. Bringing in other cultures and melding them in, refreshing. Using lazy tropes with historically sexist ideals and showing a complete misunderstanding of the costumery... I'm out. You can't even tight lace stays! What would the point be in that silhouette? Empire gown have historical evidence of looking amazing on larger women. Why are they doing the fat girl dirty with how short they have her top cut?! I do agree though, anyone who doesn't like bridgerton because its diversity is being an idiot. There are tons of other things to hate.

[@CH-vc2pw]

@@babyramses5066I see what you are saying but when you replace an actual historical figure even in a historical drama with another race. That’s what people have problems with. If it’s in a purely historical drama that doesn’t use actual historical individuals and replace whatever race they are with another. People would be more open if not then yeah it’s purely showing whatever hatred they have for said race.

I love your videos!! Just a tiny correction: W.E.B. Du Bois had a French name but always pronounced it “Dew Boys.” Responding to a speaking invitation by the Chicago Sunday Evening Club in 1939, he made it clear that: “My name is pronounced in the clear English fashion: Du, with u as in Sue; Bois, as in oi in voice. The accent is on the second syllable.”

Hi Lindsay. Love your videos. Thank you for including not 1, but 2, prominent Yoruba people, both royalty, as some sources say Aina and her husband were children of Chiefs or Kings. However, I should inform you that as you said in 1:10, Yoruba isn't a place. It's actually a people, made up of different subgroups and ethnicities. Oke-Odan as you mentioned is her birth home is probably an earlier form of Eba- Odan, which later became Ibadan, capital city of Oyo State. Which means she was probably a princess of the Oyo Empire. There was no place called Yoruba. We are a people, and not a place. Keep doing what you do😊 can't wait for next week's video

So Europeans were shocked because they were not use to see people of color?! Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1752 (essay written by Benjamin Franklin) If Benjamin Franklin says Blacks were the majority in Europe, then how is it possible that white people were shocked to see a black man kissing a white woman?! O what tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Around B.C. 1500 Europe had gradually changed from an all - Black populous inhabitant to a multi -racial continent. Every European nation prior to the presence of whites was ruled by the indigenous Africans, who were called Moors, meaning BLACK or NEGRO. History has proven that Europe was once occupied by a black skinned people, who brought the concept of religion, government, King , Queen, agriculture, medicine, science, and fine arts to the continent. They established Europe's first Royal dynasties, and other great powerful institutions that still exist to this day. In every European nation there existed a Royal Family of African descent, who proudly exhibited their noble status; from just the mere fact of having MOORISH blood in their veins. The Aristocratic Black sovereignty over Europe appeared to have reached its peak from the Renaissance to the French revolution. The colored world had strategically controlled the highest echelons and liaisons of every European society. Their complexion AUTOMATICALLY guaranteed them Europe's highest privileges, whereas being White was just the opposite, causing much suffering, humiliation and deprivation! Now you know why they are mad. Thy have whitewashed and has been teaching nothing but revisionist history. You don't need them to teach you about history, purchase your own books and do your own research. The British Oliver Cromwell spent most of his life trying to break the stronghold which Blacks firmly held over whites . He helped IRELAND to become free of the harshness of Black oppression, and later persuaded the British Parliament to behead the BLACK English King Charles I. Cromwell's intention was to obliterate the DARK -SKINNED noble families of Europe, and to annihilate the NEGRO STEWART DYNASTY! Black rulership ended in 1848 He was no African, and Shakespeare was a black man!

It Is All about black history! Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND. ( essay written by Benjamin Franklin) Blacks ruled Europe up until 1848. Hollywood knows the truth, so they gives a little snippet of it each time and the brainwashed people cries foul each time. Only if they are genuine enough , they would read for themselves and put in the work and research , they would find the truth. The fact that All Europe was ruled by blacks, and white people were their oppressed subjects.

Thanks so much for doing this Lindsey! Unfortunately, many people do not study history and are unaware of how many people of color and significance traveled to or were born in Europe- actually there are too many to fit in to just one video!

My relative Jacob Jenkins Roberts, was a weathy man from the Roberts family of Virgina, a free black family spread out from Norfolk to Williamsburg to St. Petersburg. He was a part of the movement to bring Black slaves back to Africa (the outcome is controversial). This ended up in the creation of Liberia. He is the namesake of the Airport and he was the first president - an American - of Liberia. His wife, Jane, also from a free black family and from Virginia, lived her later years in London, after his death. She is buried in Highgate Cemetary in London.

Please Google, OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF MANKIND 1751 (essay written by Benjamin Franklin) Not All slaves came from Africa! thousands came from Europe and many were already in America, but they went us to believe that they ALL came from Africa.
