400 Years (1619-2019) After the Beginning of African Enslavement in the British Colony of Virginia
Six months from now a commemoration of the long saga of struggle
against national oppression and economic exploitation
By Abayomi Azikiwe
Editor, Pan-African News Wire
African American History Month, Series Number One
Commentary
In late August of 1619 approximately twenty Africans were brought to
the shore of Jamestown Settlement in Virginia, then a colony of
Britain, having been captured by Portuguese colonizers in the Ndongo
and Kongo kingdoms (in the vicinity of modern day Angola, Republic of
Congo-Brazzaville and the Democratic Republic of Congo) and then
stolen again in route to Vera Cruz on the coast of Mexico by British
traders operating a warship flying a Dutch flag for the purpose of
labor exploitation.
After being marched 100-200 miles from inland West-Central Africa, the
350 captives were loaded at the slave-port of Luanda on to the vessel
San Juan Bautista. The British traders attacked the San Juan Bautista
near its destination and took 50-60 Africans placing them on the White
Lion and Treasurer ships directed towards Virginia where these vessels
initially landed at Point Comfort (Hampton today).

Queen Mother Moore (1898-1997): A legacy of revolutionary resistance
https://bit.ly/2UUNNO7https://bit.ly/2UUNNO7
Given the title “Queen Mother” by the Ashanti people, Moore was a symbol of resistance through the turbulent years of the 1950s through the 1970s, where she was a stalwart at numerous mass meetings, conferences and demonstrations across the U.S. and the world. She left a legacy of struggle for the contemporary generation of African American and African activists to emulate.
One leading figure in the 20th century movement for African liberation in the United States and around the world is Audley Eloise Moore, widely known as Queen Mother Moore. Her efforts spanned the era of Jim Crow in the South where she was born in New Iberia, Louisiana, on July 27, 1898, to the Garvey Movement of the 1920s and the Communist Left of the 1930s and 1940s.
Queen Mother Moore remained a symbol of resistance through the turbulent years of the 1950s through the 1970s, where she was a stalwart at numerous mass meetings, conferences and demonstrations across the U.S. and the world. Even into her later years of the 1990s she attended significant conferences related to the demand for reparations reminding a younger generation of activists and organizers that the struggle for national liberation extends back for decades.
Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast
Listen to the Sat. Feb. 9, 2019 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the escalating efforts by the United States to overthrow the legitimate government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela; Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika will stand for another term in the North African state; Pentagon warplanes are continuing to pound the Horn of Africa state of Somalia under the guise of a “war on terrorism;” and former first lady of Mozambique, Graca Machel, has called for the cancellation of debt owed to international finance capital. In the second hour we examine the position of the Bolivarian Republic in their confrontation with Washington. We are honoring African American History Month through the work of W.E.B. Du Bois. Marzieh Hashami gave an interview on her ordeal with the US authorities earlier in the year.
