Much love to Wales and black history 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤘🏿

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Yes indeed!

[@ianblake815]

@@FreedomIsMineOfficial When I think of Welsh people I remember Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones. Shirley being a black woman and Tom Jones singing like a black man. 💯✌️

[@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988]

Shirley Bassey is beautiful and a legend of British music for her powerful and expressive voice. Please talk about her

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

She is indeed, and she's in the video!

U really have mastered packing a lot of juicy info into a short bit of time...and THIS was a long form vid for u! Lol! When I scrolled and saw it, I was like, "Oh, FIVE minutes?!? She's spoiling us!" 😄😄😄

[@RobAllbanks]

So... when are you publishing your book or when are you going on a lecture tour?
This is the kind of content I've been looking for ever since I did a study abroad summer in London and was awakened to the Black diaspora. Thank you for the time and research you are sharing with us.

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Thank you for the feedback Nita

[@antwanzhane]

Diolch!

[@eriquecannon5317]

How can we confirm he was from Africa, if we don't know anything about him? Pretty suspicious if u ask me

[@apriljackson5304]

What an engaging video, from start to finish! 👏🏼🫶🏼👍🏼💪🏽💯

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Thank you so much!

Catherine Zeta Jones and Tom Jones?

[@idratherbeaphilthanajustin9533]

Neither are black though?

Love your work however it seems according to you that most black around the world were taken everywhere as slaves. Your research shows lack of depth because black people being the original people of the planet travelled everywhere before there was a white person. Egypt, mesopotamia, sudan, arabia, cush, indus valley China Inda. Dont you think there where in europe too?Who were the first Romans and Greeks. First kings and queens in England. King Offa 797-796 as an example.Black king of Mercia and I could go on. White people dont originate in western Europe but the Caucasus mountains and were pushed westward by the Mongols. We were already here. Slavery is just the tip of the iceberg of our history.
