      El año que viene se cumplen 200 años de la llegada de los cocolos a Samana gracias por darnos tanto. Vinieron en busqueda de paz y la encontraron. Enriquecieron nuestra cultura gastronómica y trajeron el protestantismo. Gente buena y trabajadora que nadie puede señalarlos 🙏 Bendiciones por 200 años mas formando parte de nuestra media isla y como dijo la señora sobre el metal que le dieron aquí se esta feliz.

    well, is true, I'm one of them. the slaves meant to go back to Africa but on the way there they stumble upon DR and made it their home. I remember talking to my grandfather before he passed away and I asked him, grampa how come your English is so good, he told me, my grampa was from Philadelphia I almost fell, never imagine that was so.

      But the real history is that AA were brought to DR while Haiti was ruling the Dominican side of the island just after slavery ended in the US.
      They was given free land but some of them found their way back to the US.
      Yes I have been many times to Samana and can attest they still have American names and very few can speak English.

    Their were many settlements that descended from the Philadelphia area. It is part of Philadelphia history that most do not know. Instead of trying to dispute these people, people should investigate and see for themselves. Most colonized blacks dont even know their history, so give them their credit and they have no reason to lie. Bishop Richard Allen was a Freemason and very prominent in the city of Philadelphia. This is real documented history, all it takes is to investigate. This is well documented in Philadelphia history.

      paul friserthe Northeamerican did not want African free slaves in the territory and offered them $40 dollars and a mule to create their own government; it started when the French militarymen on the side of La Española Island killed their French superiors and every Spanials on their way to Santo Domingo, the capital, because they were afraid the same thing would happened it to them.
      It is a history written by the USA; Spain did not want to bring African slaves to the America Continents; there were opposition to enslave human being by the Spanish Stablishment in La Española Island but they wanted the history to be written as so. All of African establishment around the cost in Central American and the Islands were the free slaves from the USA. Believe Portuguese in Brasil, England in Norteamérica y later in Central America and the Caribbean, and French in Haiti, part of La Española; they were their military men, ect.

      i can def see what you mean, interestingly enough, something they did not mention here (im Dominican btw) is that they ended in Samana via The Bahamas, meaning that more than 50% of the Bahamian population is of African American descent, what happens was they made 3 stops, they left the carolinas for The Bahamas (where the majority stayed) then to Samana (where some stayed) and then to Liberia (where the remainder stayed) so they are actually part of that migration that took African Americans to Liberia but they had to make 3 stops before that

    Born in Cavaillon, Haiti, Cator was a footballer who played for the Trivoli Athletic Club and the Racing Club Haïtien. He participated in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris in the high jump, where he finished 15th, and the long jump, where he came in 12th. In the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam he won a silver medal in the long jump.[3] His 7.58 m effort was 16 cm short of gold (Edward Hamm). A month later, on September 9, 1928, Sylvio Cator broke Edward Hamm's two-month-old world record with a 7.93 m jump at the 1924 Olympic stadium near Paris. He participated one more time in the long jump at the 1932 games in Los Angeles, where he took the 9th place.
