It was alright to sell uneducated people but not elites, that is very stupid. The later was a sell out considering he experienced slavery and continued to support it after he returned to prominence

Agreed...Very informative. Thank you. Can you tell me, please , if & where can I access online " The thirst for Knowledge: Education in Barbados 1823- 1838 by Olwyn M Blount ? To see the list of students etc. ?

This discussion is very important to Barbados and its people. The history of our African heritage and its contribution our development continues the journey of life for Barbadian people.

Most of the slaves came from Biafra Land

All my life i lived in the united states. I had no clue I had roots from barbados until I took a DNA test.

I am now seeing this excellent presentation, well written and presented. Congratulations Linda and Harriette.

More like the post transatlantic connection.. Liberia, Sierra Leone, USA, Canada(North Buxton), the Caribbean and Brazil..just to name a few.

Awful recording! The quality of these videos are deplorable. Unsubscribe.

Awful audio! So terrible. Recorded with a potato? Do better please!

I could not hear what the presenters said. The microphone - sound system was not working properly.

I’m African, born and raised in Africa for half of my childhood. My mom told us we were Liberians, but I never felt connected to Liberia in any way. I’ve always loved the Caribbean and never understood why. I took 3 different dna tests. Come to find out, I’m not Liberian at all. I’m Nigerian ( from my dad side, which I already knew about), Sierra Leonean, Ghanaian and Afro Caribbean. The particular Caribbean Islands that i’m from are Barbados, Aruba and Suriname. Bridgetown Barbados to be exact. I believe my ancestors were part of the Afro Caribbeans that went to Africa. It feels good to know my true ethnicity and being able to teach and educate my children on who they truly are. I will be coming home soon ❤

Thank you, Lia. This was beautiful! 🙏🏽🤍

I am a Liberian, I had been planning to visit Barbados even before hearing about this connection. This will encourage me to to establish Business connections with the people of Barbados. Do Liberian need Visa to travel to Barbados?

I just noticed the similarities in the Barbados and Liberian accent

I DON'T CARE ..GOD HATE BARBADOS SO MUCH GOD TOLD AFRICANS NOT TO LIKE OR LOVE SLAVES FROM BARBADOS AND THE CARIBBEAN...GOD HATE GOD HATES BARBADOS SO MUCH...GOD REALLY TRULY HATES PEOPLE FROM BARBADOS AND THE CARIBBEAN...

Thanks for letting me know this important connection. Washing from Samay City Bong County Liberia

My name is Josephus Dash Garley from Liberia West Africa, my brother and I are planning to visit Barbados to trace our great-grandfather and great-grandmother Family members in Barbados they left Barbados 🇧🇧 around 1865 to settle in Carey'sburg Montserrado County Republic of Liberia 🇱🇷 1. Great-Grandfather name: Robert Craig (Deceased) 2. Great-grandmother name: Cordia James (Deceased)

My name is Josephus Dash Garley from liberia My Great grand mother and Great grandfather are from Barbados 🇧🇧 I am trying to trace their families

Brilliant project! Very important work. I hope that many Bajans and those relations overseas participate! As an amateur genealogist, encouraging especially older people to take a DNA test and have documents digitized are vital projects to be able to write our own history. We need to find all the missing pieces.

How do I join this group?

Great presentation. I learned so much about migration of Barbadians to Trinidad. I have roots in Barbados on my father side. I share DNA with Ms Pierce.

I'm glad I came across this video Christopher-very informative.

Fascinating!!

Shout out to the Goodridge family of Liberia 🇱🇷 🤗🤗

I beleive Ofra Haza's best song is Jerusalem of gold

Very informative 👏 But can you pls give more light on the Thorpes in your next videos. Thank you.

I'm a Liberian and a Bassa for that matter im so excited knowing this.i will do everything to get to Barbados to see my brothers and sisters

You said that two Porte boys went to bassa, what were their names. We heard that the two Porte boys names were Samie, Daniel and Robert. They were the ones that went to bassa, Edina and New series, or kingsville.

We are family ooo, big family ❤ I am from the Porte family 🙏😅

Barbados is in the Caribbean, but what part of the world is " Burbados " ?

I’m so emotional right now, but very grateful to have stumbled across this video. It’s brought so many memories of my childhood in Monrovia. I attended 3rd & 5th grade at E. Jonathan Goodridge Elementary School on the Old Road, in Monrovia. I lived in Brewerville, where I went to high school at Ricks Institute. I have families in the Weeks, Reeves, etc., lineage. We’re all so connected. Awesome ❤😊

As a Liberian, this is one reason why I strongly believe we must develop Liberia's tourism industry. Not only to we shared cultural ties with African Americans but also, the people of Barbados. Barbados is one of the smallest islands 🏝 in the Caribbean with population size of 281,200 while Liberia's stands at 5.2million. Barbados 🇧🇧 has no natural resources whiles Liberia sits on some of the largest Iron Ore, Gold, Diamonds, Tantalum, Bauxite, Uranium, Timber, Rubber, and holds 51 percent of the Gulf of Guinea Rain Forest, plus substantial offshore oil reserves. The reason why I listed Liberia's natural resource endowment is to let the people of Barbados know that since they shared this historic association with Liberia, they have the right to engage the Liberian government to consider partnering with the people of Barbados for economic partnerships. This could be a win win for both countries.

😮wow! This is great I am a Liberian and seeing this makes me amaze.

This is so interesting coming from the Caribbean, Trinidad, as there is a common thread. More specifically, my paternal grandmother was Bajan hence I cherish this information.

The Brathwaites wow, might be family.... This is so interesting

I discovered Inkle and Yarico the other day during my research about the American Indian who is the Negro in America. I'm happy to have found all these things and that I have been able to overcome the narratives that meant to disconnect and disinherit me and my people from this, our land.

i am a desendant of Edmund lisle Ward he was the father of my mother but she was never recognized as part of the Ward family i think this was because of skin color i was born in 1945 and i saw my mother visiting Warners plantation very often i could not understand why only to find out that George ward the son of Edmund was her brother I found out all this information from a dna test i would really like to speak to Linda Ward-Bowen how can i contact her. this presentation was very helpful to me as i have created a DNA tree with the ward family and my family the records are there and i have plenty of them

This presentation was great and was delivered by a gem of a lady!

This is so interesting. Aubrey Ward was my great grandmother's uncle. I love learning about my family's history.

Yes! This is helpful! My grandfather took off to T&T back in the 40s never to be heard from again - ghost😮

Thanks for representing us great ❤️ i love you linda #wardfamily

White washing gtfh

Aubrey Ward was my paternal grandmother's uncle, so I was especially pleased to hear this presentation.

British born Dr.Marie Charles, have documents show that some of the black people who end up in Barbados and some of the other Caribbean islands were not from Africa, but were blacks who were exiled from their home land in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. You can click on her name on TH-cam.

This was an informative presentation. One thing that interested me the most was that A.F. Ward once owned Coconut Hall in St. Lucy. I grew up in Bishops Road next to Coconut Hall so I would have asked questions about this estate.

Great Presentation!

This was a very interesting and informative presentation.

It's too bad the recording quality is so poor as this is such a fascinating lecture.

I'm very disappointed with this presentation - there was not enough visuals of actual artifacts - why is this ? talking about collections and not showing does is very suspicious - even when you show a case including artifacts you still cannot see anything.
