the royal Children including Syngenta.
- 03:12 - 03:14
Although they use the position title of BRio.
- 03:15 - 03:17
The contemporary american version of Rio is a bit different
- 03:18 - 03:19
from the rules that Greece was held in the novel
- 03:20 - 03:23
Sujata Reggie Jackson is the head rio at the Black
- 03:23 - 03:25
Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee.
- 03:25 - 03:29
Wisconsin. Reggie Jackson is a storyteller that tells oral history
- 03:30 - 03:32
of the Black Holocaust, which is referring to the transatlantic
- 03:34 - 03:36
slave trade from the mid 16th century until the 19th
- 03:37 - 03:39
century For more than 300 years.
- 03:40 - 03:42
An estimated 12 to 15 million African people were enslaved
- 03:43 - 03:46
by Europeans and sent to the Western hemisphere to be
- 03:46 - 03:49
sold. Most of the slaves were sent to the work
- 03:49 - 03:53
in the Caribbean, Brazil Latin America with only about five
- 03:54 - 03:56
of Africans that were enslaved, ending up coming to America.
- 03:58 - 04:00
Most of the enslaved Africans were made to work on
- 04:00 - 04:06
sugar plantations to produce sugar rum and molasses, slaves were
- 04:06 - 04:08
seen as a commodity that could be traded with others,
- 04:09 - 04:11
which effectively put a price on a human life.
- 04:12 - 04:15
It is clear that the slave owning countries such as
- 04:15 - 04:18
brazil and America were able to victimize millions of African
- 04:19 - 04:22
men, women and Children to advance the economic and social
- 04:22 - 04:23
status of their own country.
- 04:25 - 04:27
This has led to incredible growth of a slave trading
- 04:28 - 04:31
countries and has allowed them to become heavily developed.
- 04:32 - 04:36
Major countries that control the majority of economic wealth and
- 04:36 - 04:39
power in the world are partially due to the unethical
- 04:39 - 04:44
practices involved in slave trading, the social and economic consequences
- 04:45 - 04:47
of the transatlantic slave trade.
- 04:47 - 04:52
Our best and complicated, however gross like Reggie Jackson in
- 04:52 - 04:54
Milwaukee are proud to share their stories and help others
- 04:55 - 04:58
understand the perspective of his ancestors that have been passed
- 04:58 - 04:59
on from generation to generation.
- 05:01 - 05:03
Reggie Jackson is a modern day Agrio that works to
- 05:03 - 05:07
educate the public about the black holocaust through storytelling and
- 05:07 - 05:07
musical performance.
- 05:09 - 05:11
The perspective of the oppressed is largely forgotten in the
- 05:12 - 05:15
history books, especially given the fact that most slaves were
- 05:15 - 05:18
forbidden from getting a formal education in order to have
- 05:18 - 05:21
to learn to write and take down events as slave
- 05:21 - 05:21
seldom happened.
- 05:22 - 05:25
Therefore, a majority of slave history is based in oral
- 05:25 - 05:28
tradition. Do their non lyrics, diocese slaves.
- 05:29 - 05:32
The oral history of African people has gone passed down
- 05:32 - 05:35
from generation to generation for hundreds of years and continues
- 05:36 - 05:40
today with modern day Rios, the black holocaust involved a
- 05:40 - 05:44
number of organized atrocities from Europeans that led to the
- 05:44 - 05:48
uh degrading and dehumanizing of the black community.
- 05:51 - 05:54
The founder of America's Black Holocaust Museum was Dr James
- 05:55 - 05:58
Cameron who escaped a lynching attempt in 1930 when he
- 05:58 - 06:00
was 16 years old in Indiana.
- 06:01 - 06:05
Over the course of dr James Cameron's lifetime, he collected
- 06:05 - 06:08
documents to show the history of african americans through slavery
- 06:08 - 06:09
and the Movement for Civil Rights.
- 06:10 - 06:14
These documents would later provide content for the introduction of
- 06:14 - 06:17
America's black holocaust Museum, which was one of the largest
- 06:17 - 06:22
exhibits of african american history in the country.
- 06:24 - 06:27
The museum provided a firsthand experience of the issues surrounding
- 06:27 - 06:30
african americans rights in the United States and allowed African
- 06:30 - 06:35
people a platform to help others understand their culture and
- 06:35 - 06:40
history. After Dr James Cameron died in 2006, Reggie Jackson
- 06:41 - 06:44
took place as head Rio of America's Black Holocaust Museum.
- 06:45 - 06:49
He says Dr James Cameron as being his inspiration for
- 06:49 - 06:52
continuing spreading the message of the black community and being
- 06:52 - 06:54
a leader for contemporary civil rights.
- 06:56 - 06:59
The black holocaust museum has a variety of gross that
- 06:59 - 07:02
tell unique stories of ancient africa, which connects to the
- 07:03 - 07:05
stories and the issues that the black community faces today.
- 07:07 - 07:10
Reggie Jackson is an advocate in the Milwaukee area for
- 07:10 - 07:10
civil rights.
- 07:11 - 07:14
He is on the ground advocating for equal opportunity for
- 07:14 - 07:19
housing, education, career opportunities and many other issues that can
- 07:19 - 07:23
be related back to slavery and discrimination of African american
- 07:24 - 07:25
people in the western hemisphere.
- 07:29 - 07:34
Although the city of Milwaukee is incredibly diverse, It is
- 07:34 - 07:36
amongst the most segregated cities in the country.
- 07:38 - 07:41
During the 19th century, Milwaukee had some of the most
- 07:41 - 07:46
racially inequitable laws for housing in America cities would entirely
- 07:47 - 07:51
prohibit african americans from owning property through a process called
- 07:52 - 07:55
redlining, which denied people of color the opportunity to buy
- 07:56 - 07:59
white to buy homes in white neighborhoods.
- 08:00 - 08:03
Red lining was a practice that was used to deny
- 08:03 - 08:05
people of color loans through the U.
- 08:05 - 08:06
S. Banking system.
- 08:07 - 08:11
This denied the ability for african american community to invest
- 08:12 - 08:16
in infrastructure because they were unable to receive financial assistance.
- 08:17 - 08:22
This inability for African Americans to receive financial assistance from
- 08:23 - 08:26
banks during the majority of the 20th century has had
- 08:26 - 08:30
severe modern day impacts that limit the wealth and power
- 08:30 - 08:33
of minorities living in the Milwaukee area.
- 08:34 - 08:40
The impact of redlining contributed to accelerating the degradation of
- 08:40 - 08:43
the black community and the problems that they face.
- 08:45 - 08:49
Reggie Jackson is an advocate for the African american community
- 08:49 - 08:54
in regards to reversing the damage of racist historical policies.
- 08:56 - 09:01
The discriminatory practices of the past have created large inequities
- 09:02 - 09:05
in social conditions and the quality of life for African
- 09:06 - 09:08
americans living in Milwaukee.
- 09:10 - 09:15
Although the conditions have changed through the federal Fair Housing
- 09:16 - 09:22
Care Act That got passed in 1976, the consequences of
- 09:22 - 09:26
the deprivation of generational wealth and power within Milwaukee still
- 09:27 - 09:27
linger today.
- 09:29 - 09:32
White people have a better opportunity to buy homes and
- 09:32 - 09:35
african americans living in the same area do the incredible
- 09:36 - 09:38
momentum of generational wealth.
- 09:39 - 09:44
According to the livery street economics, home ownership has historically
- 09:45 - 09:48
been much higher among white households, Which had a 73.1
- 09:50 - 09:55
homeownership rate in the second quarter of 2019, compared to
- 09:55 - 10:01
46.6 for Hispanic households And 40.6 for black households.
- 10:04 - 10:13
Diesel. Yeah, this legal institutional racism of past generations have
- 10:14 - 10:16
caused modern day inequalities to persist.
- 10:17 - 10:21
As african americans have little to no social or economic
- 10:21 - 10:25
foundation. In comparison to those that benefited from these racist
- 10:26 - 10:30
historical policies, Reggie Jackson is actively working to fight against
- 10:31 - 10:34
the current injustices that plague the legal system and using
- 10:35 - 10:38
his voice to demonstrate that although the process has been
- 10:39 - 10:43
made for african americans, there are still issues of systemic
- 10:43 - 10:45
racism that damaged the black community today.
- 10:49 - 10:53
America's black holocaust museum helps the shed light on the
- 10:53 - 10:57
contemporary issues that plagued the african american community and give
- 10:57 - 10:59
voice to those that lived through the consequences of racist,
- 11:00 - 11:05
historical and contemporary policy, Making the gross used their storytelling
- 11:07 - 11:09
and musical talents in order to educate the public about
- 11:10 - 11:13
the lives of african americans and the hardships that they
- 11:13 - 11:14
face in the United States.
- 11:16 - 11:20
The museum advocates in order to improve public awareness for
- 11:20 - 11:24
the discrimination faced by african americans in the area, specifically
- 11:24 - 11:27
of slavery and the Jim Crow laws in the United
- 11:28 - 11:32
States. Although the Black holocaust Museum has become fully virtual,
- 11:33 - 11:36
they are still determined to improve the economic and social
- 11:36 - 11:38
standards for african americans in Milwaukee.
- 11:40 - 11:44
Ultimately, the black holocaust museum wants to build towards a
- 11:44 - 11:47
future that is equitable for all people, regardless of race
- 11:48 - 11:48
for background.
- 11:52 - 11:56
Hague rio Reggie Jackson of America's Black holocaust museum feels
- 11:57 - 12:00
a very similar role to the role of below Frosty
- 12:00 - 12:04
in the story of Sujata, both modern day and ancient
- 12:04 - 12:08
Gross assume similar roles of teaching history and entertaining through
- 12:08 - 12:12
music. Although with being the Hague Rio of America's Black
- 12:12 - 12:16
holocaust museum, Reggie Jackson also works as a Milwaukee public
- 12:17 - 12:17
school teacher.
- 12:18 - 12:22
Similarly below Frost was in charge of tutoring Children and
- 12:22 - 12:23
teaching them about life lessons.
- 12:25 - 12:28
Both the contemporary and ancient versions of Rio's choose to
- 12:28 - 12:32
educate the youth, preserve the history of past generations and
- 12:32 - 12:34
entertain audiences through performance.
- 12:35 - 12:42
The importance of Gross has pursue has preserved and continues
- 12:42 - 12:45
to be useful in educating society about the pastor.
