  • Watch Drunk History: Black Stories to learn a thing or two about historical Black figures. But be careful, drink responsibly.
    The Sons of Africa are the hidden faces behind the movement to abolish slavery in the United Kingdom. Comedian Jamali Maddix tells us of the actions of Ignatius Sancho, Olaudah Equiano & Ottobah Cugaono who risked assassination, deportation and the threat of being financially ruined by taking risks that inspired more former slaves to come forward and be heard. These Sons of Africa are just a few names among many other Black activists who deserve to be known for their role in the end of slavery in the United Kingdom.

    This was excellent. Ignatius Sancho, Olaudah Equiano, and Ottobah Cugaono were disenfranchised and under threat of violence, they still found ways to change the world.

    Glad they're actually drunk this year. The last series was just the comedians having a drink, while 'doing bits'.. This is much better.

    Research the life of the young man whose story reflects that of Dido Belle. His father brought a pregnant enslaved woman to the UK, asked his brother (an aristocrat) to adopt the child then ship the mother back to a plantation in America.
    When the child grew up and learned of his mother's fate he left his adoptive parent's estate and went to fight in Haiti where he was killed by the French. His portrait is in the canary wharf museum.

      The guy with guy telling the story is Muslim which why he’s drinking water and not alcohol. Don’t think the other dude is Muslim.
