IF you are Jamaican, Haitian, Black british, afro colombian, Afro cuban, afro venezuelan, afro mexican, afro panamanian, afro dominican, afro puerto rico, african american, etc...and all other afro something, remember one thing, in Africa, lies a man and woman just few hundred years old who is directly responsible for you being a live. If you are Nigerian, somalian, zambian or any other African, remember that there are fellow africans whose s.kulls are still buried in this land whose great great grand children now live in foreign lands. What I am trying to say is, doesnt matter where you are born, we bòunded together in a deeply spiritual way through this land we call Africa and no one whatsoever is more African than the other.

A Nigerian is more nigerian than mysèlf, an Malawian is more Malawian than me, a Congolese is more Congolese than me, but none of these people are more African than me and that's how we should relate to each other, different nationalities, same people. A Ghanaian is likely to have similar DNA with Jamaican who has never been to Africa than the DNA between the same Ghanaian to a Rwandese. A Nigerian is likely to have same DNA with Afro brazilian than the same Nigerian to a Zimbabwean. So if a Nigerian see me as closer to him than his fellow Yorubas who were fòrced into slàvery in Brazil, he's just playing himself. Me and you are both Africans who are born and raised here, but you would find that you have matching genetics with someone in Cuba or brazil than you would with me. If you look at it that way, it shows you how deeply we are connected and are one.

So lets stop divisiòn and lets stòp acting like there is hierarchy on Africàness because there is non, there are just displaced africans and africans left behind and in some cases trying to displace themselves. We all cònnected.. we are one.

Thomas Fuller, an African s0ld into slavery in 1724 at the age of 14, was sometimes known as the “Virginia Calculator” for his extraordinary ability to solve complex math problems in his head. He was asked how many seconds there were in a year and a half, he answered in about two minutes, 47,304,000. Again he was asked how many seconds a man has lived who is 70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old, he answered in a minute and a half 2,210,500,800.

One of the men was working out the problems on paper, and informed Fuller that he was wrong, because the answer was much smaller. Fuller hastily replied, "'Top, massa, you forget de leap year." When the leap year was added in, the sums matched.

History!!

Esther Elizabeth Rolle (November 8, 1920 – November 17, 1998) was an Bahamian-American actress. She is best known for her role as Florida Evans, on the CBS television sitcom Maude, for two seasons (1972–1974), and its spin-off series Good Times, for five seasons (1974–77, 1978–79), for which Rolle was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Television Series Musical or Comedy in 1976. In 1979, Rolle accepted the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Special for the television film Summer of My German Soldier. Rolle released an album of music titled The Garden of My Mind in 1975.
Esther Rolle was born in Pompano Beach, Florida to Bahamian immigrants Jonathan Rolle (1883–1953), a farmer, and Elizabeth Iris Rolle (née Dames; 1887–1981). Her parents were both born and raised in Nassau, New Providence, The Bahamas and moved to Florida some time after their marriage. She was the tenth of 18 children (children who included siblings and fellow actresses Estelle Evans and Rosanna Carter).
Rolle graduated from Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach, Florida. She initially studied at Spelman College in Atlanta, before moving to New York City. While in New York, she attended Hunter College before transferring to The New School and then Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
Rolle was a member of Asadata Dafora's dance troupe, Shogolo Oloba (later renamed the Federal Theater African Dance Troupe). She became the troupe's director in 1960. Rolle's earliest roles were on the stage; her New York stage debut was in the 1962 play The Blacks. She was often cast in plays produced by Robert Hooks and the Negro Ensemble Company. She also appeared in productions of The Crucible and Blues for Mr. Charlie. Rolle's most prominent early role was as Miss Maybell in the 1973 Melvin Van Peebles play, Don't Play Us Cheap. In 1977, Rolle portrayed Lady Macbeth in Orson Welles' Haitian-influenced version of William Shakespeare's Macbeth at the Henry Street New Federal Theater in Manhattan.
Rolle's first screen appearance is a small, uncredited role in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), and she later appeared in Gordon Parks' The Learning Tree (1969). Her sister, actress Estelle Evans, appeared in both films as well. Esther Rolle also appeared early in her career in the film Nothing But a Man (1964).
After Good Times ended, she appeared in a number of made-for-television movies and films, including Driving Miss Daisy and My Fellow Americans. A memorable role was that of Aunt Sarah in the film Rosewood (1997). She had a major role in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings based on Maya Angelou's memoir of the same name in 1979. She is also credited for her role in the film The Mighty Quinn (1989), starring Denzel Washington and Sheryl Lee Ralph, and featuring Robert Townsend. Her last film, Train Ride, was released in 2000 despite being filmed in 1998.
Rolle's only marriage was to Oscar Robinson. The two were married from 1955 to 1975. They had no children.
She is buried in Westview Community Cemetery in Pompano Beach, Florida.
The cemetery is a historically black burial ground created in 1952, a time when the laws and customs of Florida did not permit white people and black people to be buried in the same cemetery.
LEGACY
Rolle's family donated over 100 items of hers to the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The collection includes gowns, a black Raggedy Andy doll she endorsed, a recording of poems recited by Rolle, and awards such as the 1974 NAACP Eighth Image Award for Best Actress in a Series and her 1979 Emmy for her role in Summer of My German Soldier.

Anna Matilda Mangin

This is her story.

Although she was of the state of Louisiana lineage, due to Anna as a baby was in Nantucket, Massachusetts, according to records she was listed as born free in 1844. As a young woman, she showed great creativity and intelligence. Her major contributions was as an Educator, Inventor and Caterer. She invented a kitchen tool she called the "pastry fork" in 1891 and received the patent for it on March 1, 1892.

The pastry fork had many uses, including beating eggs, thickening foods, makimg drawn butter, mashing potatoes, making salad dressings and most importantly, kneading pastry dough. The curve piece at the upper end of the handle is what Mrs. Mangin called the "cutter or trimmer" for pie crusts. The Pastry Fork the lives of women, Cooks, Bakers and Chefs. It eventually led to the Electric Mixer.

Mrs. Mangin was also active in the community. In 1907, she worked in the Woman's Loyal Union that supported the Industrial and Protective Union House for girls. It was her mission to see to children of freed Enslaved people learn to read, write and be build up to believe in themselves.

Anna Matilda Mangin died in a hospital in Danbury, Connecticut on March 1, 1931.

The next time you're cooking and you're using what is similar to what was originally the Pastry Fork, remember Anna Matilda Mangin.
