First BLACK Village ! History of Barbados You Didn't Know about! 🇧🇧

- Located in the central parish of St. Thomas, the Rock Hall Freedom Village is the site of the first freehold village created by former slaves in 1841, just 3 years after full Emancipation from slavery
Rock Hall is both a Free Village and a Bequest Village. In 1821 the owner of the Mount Wilton Plantation died, leaving in his will money for the enslaved persons of the plantation. It took a further 20 years for the freed slaves to receive the funds which they used to buy land in the Rock Hall area.
A plaque at the site reveals the names of the early families who established their homes here, along with a moving tribute to the struggles and ultimate triumph of the enslaved people of Barbados

African Tigress, you should visit UWI (The University of the West Indies) Cave Hill campus and see the Ghanaian Golden Stool building and talk to some of the students.
@@davidbryan9932 oh i visited the Dean of Cavehill canpus department if Culture bit it was late he is Kenyan
Barbados had cultural links with Guyana 🇬🇾, as some people moved from Barbados 🇧🇧 and settled in Guyana.
I am from Barbados and I had no idea this existed. Thank you.
unfortunately, it is "NOT FULLY" accurate...!!!
Barbados has so much document Black history in the Caribbean this episode was mind blowing, just like Barbados 🇧🇧 is a knowledge base for The Caribbean of document history in the diaspora and it’s great to see how those chattel house are well preserved and the walk to freedom park with those statues to show the world what an amazing island we never knew about all these things in Barbados well done 🇧🇧🇧🇧❤️🇧🇧🇧🇧
The Little Caribbean Dynamo. Barbados ❤ U. Only this year i found out Barbados has some of the oldest black history in the America's with links to Boston tea party and the Carolina's, usa. deep ,deep, stuff. Also has many slave records. Protecting our black African history. (Gezz )thanks Bim 🇧🇧🥂
We even have links to the Salem witch trials!
I heard the original buck breaking happened there Willie Lynch 😢
@@WhatShouldMatter it's sad cause black men continue to sag their pants just like the slave master did for buck breaking.
@@glowgorethat’s an Americanism.
Make sure you visit the George Washington house where he stayed when he had chickenpox an was able to lead men into war who were sick because he already had the chickenpox also there is tunnels that run on the Garrison to the ocean where they snuck the slaves in at night
wow Barbados have so much History I love this ..... the tour Guild was awesome Barbados 🇧🇧 is so beautiful and a true Gem
Beautiful 😍 African tigress useful history information 😮 enjoying fr Jamaica 🏖️
Wow! I'm from Barbados and learned something new from this video. Thanks.
Wow they have kept and preserved their ancestry so well.As their fellow black person am proud of them , I'd like to visit this beautiful country someday
On the Original land/ site. That's Beautiful. You should. The ppl are nice, friendly, humble, peaceful, Ppl make a place beautiful, not just Geography. I visited in 2019 and I intend, hope to visit again bc I had a really good experience.
@@winsomeg1124 am really planning to visit in the near future. Thanks for your humble invitation
@africantigress I am glad the office of Auntie Mia have reached out to you. You should try to interview her that would be epic
I was all the time expecting someone from the Prime Minister's office to reach out to the African Tigress and it has happened.
Awesome❤❤
Quite informative and emotional too. That walk through the bridge made me tear up.
Nice history of the black history of Barbados 😊
The Caribbean islands have a lot in common. We have free villages here in Jamaica as well. They were townships established in the wake of full freedom from slavery and apprenticeship in 1838. For eg Sligoville, Sturge Town, and Maidstone to name a few #relics of slavery
Yes, Q in the Community is a lot of fun. The karaoke can be hilarious. They've also had it in NY and Boston.
Q in the community is also a big event in London, I've attended one or two
So beautiful village Barbados with beautiful peoples ❤❤❤❤
I love you dear my African Tigress
I am a big fan of your videos about the Caribbean islands. I have watched them all, and some of them more than once. They are so informative and captivating. You have inspired me to plan a trip to the Caribbean, especially Barbados. It looks like a paradise on earth. 😍
Always nice to know our history 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲♥️❤️💙
I love how African tigeress is showing Barbados around
She did so very well! As a Bajan 🇧🇧 I learned of this heritage community from this video and would love ❤️ to visit! I love being of African descent. I am happy Barbados is preserving monuments that speak to and pay homage to our Ancestors!
Wow such history and thanks for sharing with us ❤
It’s a beautiful village. Love how it was put together ❤❤❤
TIGRESS, I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT WEEKEND! BE SAFE MY ONLY KENYA, LOVE 😘😘🇺🇸
Very good vedio of Barbados Africa i like very much. I am from Goa India. I always watch your blog African Tigress
Asante sana, Doctor Sheron, for the tour and the insight
So so very interesting history, I enjoyed it.
Barbados unfortunately has a very dark and horrific history, you have only touched the surface
Do give us the gory details that only you(?) seem to know...
Yup Willie Lynch
@@WhatShouldMatter _"The William Lynch speech, also known as the Willie Lynch letter, is an address purportedly delivered by a William Lynch (or Willie Lynch) to an audience on the bank of the James River in Virginia in 1712 regarding control of slaves within the colony. In recent years, it has been widely exposed as a hoax._
_In the Death of Willie Lynch Speech, Professor Manu Ampim exposes the myth of Willie Lynch. Ampim does this by documenting the 20th century origin and fraudulent history of the "Willie Lynch Speech" and speculating, correctly, about the author's identity--forcing the admitted hoaxer to confess."_
Yeah... Willie Lynch alright.
A popular, sentimental Old Wives Tale that no one ever bothered to take the time to really check out the validity of the story...
@@vittmanvittman4915 let’s start with the absolute brutality of the slave plantation. I recommended you read the book “Hell or Barbados”
@@trooth9066 There's nothing uniquely brutal about what atrocities happened during the years of enslavement in Barbados.
Slavery was cruel and brutal wherever it was practiced.
Why do you think Barbados had a special, unique, never-before-done style of cruelty compared to other countries where slavery was common place?
It's beautiful and interesting to learn watch about our fellow black history around the world ❤
Tell her also that some of the Slaves at Mount Wilton plantation found out that they would have recieved money after the death of the owner. They decided to kill him and slit his throat when he was in bed. His relatives argued that the Slaves were not entitled to the money but the Court awarded them the money and they bought land at Rock Hall. Land was also bought at Bridgefield, St Thomas.
They only killed Him? Gotta be more efficient than that when dealing with these Devils black man.

Sorry! 😊
@@AFRICANTIGRESS 😂 Ure great. Keep sharing ur great energy sis. We love it and u.
We have a beautiful public park here called Emancipation Park located in New Kingston. There is a square in the old capital of Jamaica (Spanish Town ) called Emancipation Square. The declaration was made on August 1,1834.
You also have a statue of racist white slave hating Christopher Columbus in front of Black marcus Garvey school. Shameful. Statue of racist Queen Victoria in the heart of black Kingston Jamaica . We're interested in Barbados history at the moment not Jamaica. Those bajan people kicked down their racist statue of Nelson in the heart of bridgetown and replaced it with black Bajan heroes. Thats what we call proud black people do take note. Inform us when Jamaica follows suit. 🇰🇳🇩🇲
I'm from St. George! I would love to see their heritage community
In Sierra Leone, we call it "oldies, the goodies"
There is a feature on one of our radio stations here in Jamaica that has a segment on weekday mornings that goes with the slogan "Blast from the past oldies, but goodies" where they play music from the past.
We say Oldies but goodies in Jamaica too. We say Cooyah, Krep, Dutty
Siddung, guhdung etc 😅 Many KRIO words in Jamaica's Patwa Dialect.
@@winsomeg1124 👍🏿👍🏿
Thank Tiger Love country historical
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🇯🇲
Powerful that the Richard's descendants are still where their ancestors settled!! My late grandmother 👵 lived outside of a sugar plantation with a plantation house! It's terrible that the enslavers were compensated for their "lost property" of African human beings free labor. Yet, true to the African resilience of our people to stand strong and rebuild

What part or parish is this located.?what’s the name of the place
that place like that there was a Piramide,waw interessant.
@African Tigress, a kind question after emucipation, Did some former slaves decided to revert to african names, all majority continued with slave masters name. 😢. 😢😢😢😢
Unfortunately our names were taken first. We have no way of tracing our original last names.
@@lauragreen5146 thanks for your response, I think we leave in a Global world and most slave from Caribbean came from west Africa, the ministry of culture should link with west africans minister to have the names of the populations incase if somebody wants to adopt an african name can access, also the Caribbean union , can came up with a law where by childrens have one English name and one African name . So that we keep our history well preserved. My option.
Hello Samuel! I am from Barbados 🇧🇧 but visited Ghana, 🌍 🇬🇭. While there, I was asked if I am Asante repeatedly. Unfortunately, with each inquiry I would respond I don't know. Actually, it makes me 😢 tear up now. To enslave the African a great effort was used to psychologically break the personhood and identity of the individual. I was told my facial features and head shape is closely Asante. Nevertheless, I am proud that as a Barbadian 🇧🇧, you will still find remnants of our ancestors on our foods like Barbados 🇧🇧 national dish is coucou and flying fish, which is banku in Ghana 🇬🇭. Sobolo in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is Sorrel in many Caribbean islands 🏝 including Barbados. It's in our dialect, certain words like pickney like pikin in Nigeria 🇳🇬, wunna in Barbados 🇧🇧 and unna in Jamaica 🇯🇲. It's in our dance too.
Rock Hall in which parish??
St. Thomas
Bring shakia to visit kenya
Rihanna country
You are so beautiful 😍
Smh
False history. My family is from Barbados in the 17hundreds around the time of presdent G Washington then came to NJ and Pennsylvania . Our family house is right next to a jail Washington had prisoners in . My family were black and free man . 300 years ago there was less white people by color and not status then there is today. The island is almost all black as Hati Bahamas and all the other islands . Were did all the white people mysteriously go then. If you read peace treatys you can clearly see white people had no jurisdiction on the sea that the moorish pirates controlled at that time period. My family was very wealthy in America for hundreds of years and created towns and castles hear as black people. I don't know what kind of history most of yall speak of we had like 2000 acres and that was only one of my black great great grandparents. If you don't have your family history befor 1864 you cannot speak of a transatlantic slave family because I have non
Finally Barbados is embracing its black history. They were always ashamed of it. They were the most British of the Caribbean; calling the island “ little England “ They did not celebrate the 150th anniversary of the emancipation of slavery. They said it was too painful, that it will disturb the white Barbadian’s. Leaving the concept that they were ashamed of the history
So
Racist
Who?
Go watch something else fool
