Why Did I Decide To Do This Project?
The intersections of the African Diaspora have always seemed elusive to my then adolescent and now adult grasp. From the inception of my middle school education I’ve been imbued with knowledge on the middle passage, the Atlantic slave trade, the American emancipation movement, British abolition and the campaign for Bahamian Independence. All three corners of black existence , African , Caribbean , and African American have neatly folded into their own stories, their edges grazing but never falling into place to create a perfect image. I’ve always wondered how cultures so divinely interwoven could be so disparately discussed as if one didn’t influence or ascribe to the other. Thus, my project was born.
