Weep Not for Me O African. Africa Will Rise Again!!
Weep not for me o African,
For thy tears in nought will flow.
Weep rather for the future of your children,
Whose tears may never cease to flow.
Weep not for me O African,
The travails thou doth witness are of thy making.
For when thou ought to have spoken,
The courage to resist the evil ones thou was lacking.
Weep not for me O African,
For thy situation doth defy tears.
Sit not still while your continent is burning,
Leave not thy land for them to tear.
Weep not for me O African,
Thy goods on daily basis is looted,
Thy milk and honey everyday is disappearing,
How long shalt thou to the wicked be subjected?
Weep not for me O African,
The ties that bind thee are not yet loose.
Thy leaders for all thy goods doth yearn,
Yet thou remain mute.
Weep not for me O African,
The best of thy children you have lost.
The best of thy talents have been taken,
When will they come home to roost?
Weep not for me O African,
The time of self-pity has elapsed.
The era of wallowing has ended,
The walk to freedom has begun.
Weep not for me O African,
Let the fathers tell their sons.
Let the mothers tell their daughters,
Africa will rise again.
Weep not for me O African,
Weep rather for your children.
For if this time pass and thou dost not act,
Thy children forever will be lost.
Weep not for me O African,
Tell it on the hills, scream it to the mountains.
Tell it to those who our goods are stealing,
AFRICA WILL RISE AGAIN! ! !
For thy tears in nought will flow.
Weep rather for the future of your children,
Whose tears may never cease to flow.
Weep not for me O African,
The travails thou doth witness are of thy making.
For when thou ought to have spoken,
The courage to resist the evil ones thou was lacking.
Weep not for me O African,
For thy situation doth defy tears.
Sit not still while your continent is burning,
Leave not thy land for them to tear.
Weep not for me O African,
Thy goods on daily basis is looted,
Thy milk and honey everyday is disappearing,
How long shalt thou to the wicked be subjected?
Weep not for me O African,
The ties that bind thee are not yet loose.
Thy leaders for all thy goods doth yearn,
Yet thou remain mute.
Weep not for me O African,
The best of thy children you have lost.
The best of thy talents have been taken,
When will they come home to roost?
Weep not for me O African,
The time of self-pity has elapsed.
The era of wallowing has ended,
The walk to freedom has begun.
Weep not for me O African,
Let the fathers tell their sons.
Let the mothers tell their daughters,
Africa will rise again.
Weep not for me O African,
Weep rather for your children.
For if this time pass and thou dost not act,
Thy children forever will be lost.
Weep not for me O African,
Tell it on the hills, scream it to the mountains.
Tell it to those who our goods are stealing,

Years ago our forefathers had a vision That one day, their descendants will bear the title of their own To represent their ancient glory And value it at heart.

Runaway Slave Wrote This Piercing Letter to His Former Enslavers.

I have often thought I should like to explain to you the grounds upon which I have justified myself in running away from you. I am almost ashamed to do so now, for by this time you may have discovered them yourself. I will, however, glance at them. When yet but a child about six years old, I imbibed the determination to run away. The very first mental effort that I now remember on my part, was ...

When our tears are dry on the shore and the fishermen carry their nets home and the seagulls return to bird island and the laughter of the children recedes at night, there shall still linger here the communion we forged, the feast of oneness which we partook of. There shall still be the eternal gateman who will close the cemetery doors and send the late mourners away. It cannot be the music we ...

Americans are way worse than Nazis truly 😢
I wonder if he ever got his grandmother back…
The wealthy plantation owners / slaveholders did get somewhat of a comeuppance, if you will; after the civil war, the Deep South was pretty well decimated & wealthy plantation owners were reduced to nothing; from what I gather they didnt really pull out of it until after the Great Depression & if that is the case that's some pretty heavy duty devastation.

❤so beautiful p❤🎉
Gosh i feel like kissing my black face again and again!
Whose the author of this poem?
This is beautiful. Wake up Africa. Let your collective,and powerful consciousness flow unhindered 🎉❤
You didn't even bother to spell check.
I am writing a sermon on Romans 12:17-21 and the conclusion of Mr. Douglas’s letter is a perfect illustration of “never pay back evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men” I have great respect for the life of Frederick Douglas.
Is Trump your retribution ?? Just asking.
Incredible…
I shed tears that I didn't know were there. I love my people and my ancestors. We are a mighty people!
How powerful!
Why the totally creepy and distracting background 'music'??? Makes something good in to something bad.
I always loved Frederick Douglas. This letter makes me love him even more.
did he get a response and his grandmother back ?
I fear for all slaves lifes. With 7 million slaves in Africa today. With 1200 years of slavery between Arab and Africa Billions bare the yoke. The Barbary Pirates enslaved all of Southern Europe and even as far north as Ireland. Not one slave was sold in NY that wasn`t a slave in Africa. As no white men enslaved. They bought from local war lords. That is still not an excuse, just a sad fact. All people have been enslaved.
No check your facts and the history of enslaved people
No check your facts and history of slavery
@@lrhaynesj You seem lazy in your comments. Without putting any thoughts into it. Maybe this is all you have. Please feel free to say nothing about anything going on today.
wHAT AN INCREDIBLE & BRILLIANT MAN, WAS FREDRICK DOUGLAS ! THIS LETTER SHOULD BE MANDATORY READING IN EVERY SCHOOL, IN THIS NATION. ------------MJL, 77 Y/O
They consider it CRT...pushing the lie they commonly espouse that such would make white children hate themselves, their country and their skin color. Hypocrites all! They and their fathers and mothers who came before them had no such concerns when they were gaslighting generations of black children making them hate themselves, their skin color, yet indoctrinating them to love America, happily comply, submit and be over all subservient to white authority ergo "the law" or else.
like this one
awesome
Powerful stuff!
Magnificent. Please make this letter available to Letters Live. This deserves a wider audience. Mr. Douglas became a Statesman, writer, orator and abolishonist. I now live in Philadelphia. I've never felt a 4th of July as I did this year. Juneteenth was an experience that shook me and my best friend visiting from Houston to the core. We went to the Betsy Ross museum and heard the most powerful Gospel choir carefully curated with songs depicting the voyage to America, to life in slavery, to hope and redemption. In times like these of great political and racial divide, I have been reading biographies of the Founding Fathers. Mr. Douglas' Narrative Of The Life Of Frederick Douglas is on my list.
What an astounding and wonderful man with a beautiful heart. I now wish to know more about this man.
It’s ours❤❤❤
Proud to born in the richest continent ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow🎉❤
