Who was Samuel Coleridge Taylor?

[@Glazier-nm4gn]

Mate .. I love the story of Samuel ...... When i walked from Norwood Junction to Selhurst park I would always see the building to my left called the Samuel Coleridge Taylor club ? and for years I never understood why there would be a place named after an American poet... But it was not be when I researched the story of this incredible genius of a man.... On his return from America crowds lined the streets of Croydon just to see him as at the time he was a superstar and by all accounts Croydon folk just wanted a handshake....... Croydon (now) minster is a real hidden gem of splendour and Samuel played in there by all accounts.... I honestly think it is time for a fundraiser to (and with the help Croydon council) erect a statue of this beautiful genius ,

What you do is great. I suppose that it is hard to reach or draw an audience of people, who are deprived of the history, but who are still weary of that school subject and then deliver a message to them, which opposes or differs from that which they have heard at home, or in an Elementary School. Hopefully, through some heavenly intervention, some viewers, untouched by historical evidence, will feel like they have had a revelation for them alone, but then get a need to spread the truth. I have heard and seen everything but am still learning. We can see the results of not knowing about, not caring about or just plain not caring, in every news report. Going it one on one, is what I can do, but it doesn't always work against the memories people carry around with them. It is hard to wear down a coin into a new smooth reflective shiny disc. At least you have found a way to reach more people on a one to one basis.

Thank you so much sir. Absolutely my favourite video to date. I love reading about African/black Europeans. An African/Black presence appears to date back to before Roman times. The Roman Historian Tacitus (The Origins Of Black Britain - Anthropological Review, Society London Vol 8) “The Iberians are Black people with Curly Hair” and James Anderson book - Riddles Of Prehistoric Times, talk of “Little Black Welsh/Brits settled in Scotland, France, Spain, British Isles and all over Europe”. (quote taken from - The Negro Question part 4 by Lee Cummings. Pg 54-55). It would really be great to watch more videos like this too. Thank you, tar 🙏🌻

there is no mentioning of "little negro Welsh/brits settled in Scotland..." in James Andersons book. lulz. So funny how you also say you love reading about blacks in Europe... why? not proud of history in Africa? clearly from your last source you probably believe in the "we wuz kangz" mythology. do you think Shakespeare was black? Even the colonization of the Iberian peninsula in the 8th century was done by people in th middle east who swept across northern Africa, taking negros as conscripts and now everyone thinks it was black people who rule din southern Europe. lulz
