Igbo Landing; Mass Suicide Of 75 Igbo Slaves In Dunbar Creek, Georgia by McStoic(m): 9:01pm On Oct 31, 2018 |
How many of you have heard of the story of the 75 Igbo slaves who overpowered their ship in Dunbar Creek, Georgia and went ahead to commit mass suicide in 1803 (This one is not related to Olaudah Equiano, another Igbo) This post is not meant to stoke tribalism. The discourse going in another trade about major tribes active in the transatlantic slave trade just reminded me of this fact. The Igbo nation is really one hell of a freedom minded and courageous one. You can browse through this link: https://blackpast.org/aah/igbo-landing-mass-suicide-1803 |

McStoic: This has been documented and is quite factual. In the movie black panther, Kilmonger references this fact when he states that he would rather die like his ancestors who preferred suicide to bondage. It is also quite documented in Igbo culture that when you die no matter where you are at you return to the land of the spirits to be with your ancestors. 2 Likes |
