Bury Me With My Ancestors, Who Jumped From the Ships Because They Knew That Death was Better Than Bondage.  -Killmonger

Special Guest, sociology professor, DR. BILAL KINGMorehouse College drops by the show to discuss the reality of this quote and why AFRICAN-AMERICANS today relate so closely to it.  Some suggest jumping from the ship was an cowardly act versus those AFRICANS who endured the actual horrors of enslavement. What if all our ancestors had chosen this fate, maybe it would've ended the TRANS-ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE altogether?  How should AFRICAN-AMERICANS of today view our ENSLAVED ANCESTORS?  MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
