Revival History

In 1863, during the height of the American Civil War, a photograph emerged that would become one of the most powerful visual testaments to the cruelty of slavery. Known as "Whipped Peter," the man in the image was actually named Gordon, an enslaved man who had escaped from a Louisiana plantation. The photograph, taken during a medical examination after his escape, shows Gordon's back covered in a horrific web of scars—evidence of the brutal whippings he endured. At a time when many in the North doubted the full extent of the atrocities committed under slavery, this single image silenced skeptics by presenting undeniable proof. The photograph circulated widely and was published in major abolitionist newspapers and journals, galvanizing anti-slavery sentiment across the Union. It became a turning point in public perception, as the shocking reality etched into Gordon’s flesh exposed the dehumanizing violence enslaved people faced daily. His image became a symbol of both suff...

They said Britain brought “civilization.” But they never told us what Africa lost. They never told us Britain didn’t just come with books and Bibles — it came with chains and contracts. They didn’t come to teach. They came to take. They built their empire with African gold, rubber, oil, cocoa, diamonds — and called it “trade.” London rose — while Africa bled. They never told us the classrooms were designed to make us admire Britain and doubt ourselves. They never told us that our grandfathers paid taxes to their own oppressors. They called our heroes “rebels.” They called our freedom “violence.” But they never told us who started the war. They never told us that when slavery ended, it was slave owners — not the enslaved — who got paid. They never told us that Britain only finished paying that blood money in 2015. They never told us about Benin’s stolen bronzes, Kemet’s stolen scrolls, or Ashanti’s stolen gold. They never told us that Africa’s knowledge built Western science. They never...

DID YOU KNOW? Homosexuality has been around for Centuries ! In slavery the term “Buck Breaking” was the practice of using sexual violence & punishment for the slave men!  Once a plantation owner violates the Black man he then turned around & used it as a way to Control the slave!! Before the slave was Sold off he would Sagg his pants to let the next Master know that the slave had already been broken in! This went on for Centuries! Once the slave was introduced to the Penitentiary’s & Jail houses the Warden would already know who was Buck Broken from the “SAGGIN”of the pants!! Some of the Jail wardens were Homosexual’s as well!  “SAGGIN” is the derived  from the (N) word Spelled Backwards!  Many of Today’s Youths doesn’t fully understand the term “SAGGIN” but for those who does, they know that Saggin is an Invitation or an Expression that Hey I’m available!

Comfort is powerful. It makes distance feel like closure. But history is not as far away as we like to believe. The violence of slavery was not just physical—it was systematic. Bodies restrained. Identities erased. Generations reduced to property. The chains were not only metal; they were economic, cultural, and psychological systems designed to last long after the visible brutality ended. And in many ways, they did. The wealth extracted from enslaved Africans helped build global economies. The inequalities that followed were not accidental—they were structured. From plantations to modern labor systems, the echoes remain in who owns, who works, and who benefits. This is why memory matters. Not to trap people in the past, but to understand the present with clarity. Because forgetting is convenient—for those who inherited advantage. Remembering is uncomfortable—for those forced to confront how that advantage was built. Across Africa and the diaspora, the question is not whether the past ...

Dear African brothers & sisters. I am really disturbed that you are presently in the same ship that delivered our ancestors to the slave masters.  You mean as christians, you see these verses in the new testament & you still look the other way? Just imagine these verses: Ephesians 6:5-8: States that slaves should obey earthly masters with sincerity of heart, "just as you would obey Christ". Colossians 3:22-24: Instructs slaves to work with sincerity and reverence for the Lord, as they are ultimately serving Christ. 1 Timothy 6:1-2: Urges slaves to hold their masters worthy of honor so that God’s name is not blasphemed. Titus 2:9-10: Instructs slaves to be subject to their masters and please them, not speaking back. 1 Peter 2:18-20: Advises slaves to submit to masters with respect, even those who are harsh.  Can you imagine what the B!ble, the book of the God sold to you by the slave masters encourage them to do to our ancestors

A PART OF SLAVERY HISTORY RARELY TALKED ABOUT Enslaved Black men were sexually abused by white men in positions of power and history largely buried it because it shattered too many myths. When we talk about slavery, sexual violence against Black women is (rightly) acknowledged. But what’s often left out is that Black men were also victims of sexual assault, coercion, and sexual humiliation by slaveholders, overseers, jailers, and patrols. This abuse was not about sexual orientation. It was about power, domination, and control. Enslaved people had no legal rights over their own bodies. Black men could not report abuse, could not testify against white men, and could be killed for resisting or speaking out. Silence was enforced. This history was buried because: • It exposed slavery as total bodily control • It contradicted myths of white moral superiority • It challenged false ideas about Black masculinity • It revealed how violence was used to break the human spirit Ignoring this truth h...
