At the temple of Phnom Bakheng there are 108 surrounding towers. The number 108, considered sacred in both Hindu and Buddhist cosmologies, is the sum of 72 plus 36 (36 being ½ of 72). The number 72 is a primary number in the sequence of numbers linked to the earth’s axial precession, which causes the apparent alteration in the position of the constellations over the period of 25,920 years, or one degree every 72 years. Another mysterious fact about the Angkor complex is its location 72 degrees of longitude east of the Pyramids of Giza.

Stono Rebellion

One of the largest organized slave rebellions in north america occurred in South Carolina, took guns and killed their oppressors. But didn't do it quietly, they marched down singing liberty and beating drums trying to make their way to the only free land in the south of Fort Mose in Florida until a militia stopped them unfortunately.

This led to the Negro Act passed in response to the rebellion, was a prohibition on importing slaves directly from Africa. South Carolina also wanted to slow the rate of importation down; African Americans outnumbered whites in South Carolina, and South Carolinians lived in fear of insurrection.

The Negro Act also made it mandatory for militias to regularly patrol, to prevent slaves from gathering the way they had in anticipation of the Stono Rebellion. Slave owners who treated their slaves too harshly were subject to fines under the Negro Act, in an implicit nod to the idea that harsh treatment might contribute to rebellion.

The Negro Act severely restricted the lives of South Carolina's black folk. No longer could a group of slaves assemble on their own, nor could they grow their own food, learn to read or work for money. Some of these provisions had existed in law before but had not been consistently enforced.

Haitian Revolution

Haitian general and leader of the revolution Toussaint Louverture

My people defeated one of the most powerful empires at the time. This shook Napoleon Bonaparte so bad that he sold his Lousiana territory for $15 million( Louisiana Purchase) to the americans and ceased all exploration in the west and instead focused his interest in eastern Europe.

Some people like to say we didn't try and stop slavery from happening. But these examples and many other slave revolts prove otherwise.

My nephews, Each week, I'm showing/teaching them about our black culture, the shit that they don't teach in schools...If any of yall have some shit I can drop on them, please feel free to let me know..I kinda wanna focus on the kids ( the struggle they went through back in the day, then work my way up to the grown-ups in our culture)

Them lil dudes are around the ages of 8-11 and I kinda wanna teach them about folks their age..(kids) per say..

The first thing I did was told them to look up Emmett Till (they never heard of the dude)....I wanna show the good shit and the bad shit that were done to black kids their age coming up...Them lil dudes need to know how shit was back then...they don't understand and don't really appreciate how they have it now..

By them researching and finding out who and what happened to Emmett Till, they wanna know more about our black kids...so as I go through this thread, the history/information and pics are not a waste, I'm definitely picking shit out to present to lil dudes..

One of the best things that anybody ever did for me was my Grandmother schooling me on Black history. From the time we were little kids my Grandma taught us about our struggles and triumphs and instilled a deep pride and appreciation for who we are as a people.

Something to check out would be Spike Lee's documentary "4 Little Girls", it's about the bombing of the 16th Street baptist church in Birmingham, Al.

Something else to check out is this documentary on Black Wall Street in Tulsa Oklahoma and the race riot that happened there. It isn't about kids but children were certainly victims and it started out with a white girl accusing a black teenage boy of assault. This isn't the best quality but it is a complete documentary and it has a lot of people in it who lived through the events.


These are what I can think of at the moment I'll be back in here to post more stuff tho

Yeah he was shook to see one of his own colonies being taking over by slaves, so he was like fuck it. Most of the Louisiana purchase land was mostly unsettled anyways. But the Haitian revolt was one of the reason he didn't want to fuck with the Western world. Shit France was already bankrupt from the french and indian war any way.

Toussaint was the face of the revolution, nigga i'm haitian.
