It would be a dream to interview world renown international human rights expert, Dr. Yussef Naim Kly; I will be utilizing his book, The Invisible War, in my research. I am hoping to secure either an online or phone interview with Robert Strongrivers, a descendant of Black Indians, residing in Virginia. He is a lecturer on African-Indigenous history and is passionate about African Americans enlightenment regarding the subject.
I would also like to pose the following questions to at least two African American Studies professors here at Metro:
What do you know of Black indigenous peoples?
What do you know of Black resistance during American slavery?
Why do think that information regarding resistance remains hidden in the American historical lexicon?
Who would benefit from the suppression of this part of history?
Are the Black Seminoles and other such so-called insurgents apart of your teaching curriculum?
What is the importance of their story?
