A must read for all afrocentrists desperate for relevance and the go to source for intellectually lazy People. Who are not looking for truth but validation.
J. A. Rogers. Joel Augustus Rogers to be exact. I corresponded with his wife for several years after he passed. I assisted in selling his books in the Washington, DC area and I also wrote two articles about him. He was considered, as others of his stature, to be a “Street Historian”, because of his lack of research methodologies.
This very important lecture highlights the fact how history should be re writing in order to be as objective as possible. To decolonize history is a collective task.
Quintus Lollius Urbicus - Governor of Britannia from 138/9AD to c.144 was a native of Numidia (modern Algeria), and former governor of Lower Germany, who was sent to Britain as one of the first commissions of the emperor Antoninus Pius soon after he came to power in July 138AD. He evidently campaigned against several British tribes (possibly including factions of the northern Brigantes), certainly against the the lowland tribes of Scotland; the Votadini and the Selgovae of the Scottish Borders region, also the the Damnonii of Strathclyde and the Novantae of Dumfries and Galloway. It seems likely that he personally campaigned with the Second Legion Augusta as this unit is mentioned on four (out of five) inscriptions recording building work undertaken during his governorship. This legionary core was, no doubt, backed up by a substantial contingent of auxiliary units, of which we have record of at least one part-mounted regiment (vide RIB 1276 infra). Contingents from at least one other British legion are known to have assisted in the construction of the new turf barrier, as evidenced by an inscription from the fort at Old Kilpatrick (RIB 2205), the Antonine Wall’s western terminus. It seems likely that Urbicus planned his campaign of attack from Corbridge in Northumberland, just to the rear of Hadrians Wall, as dedicatory inscriptions positively dated to the early 140’s have been uncovered at the Antonine storage-depot there. From here he drove north-north-west into the Scottish Borders along the Agricolan military road Dere Street, leaving garrison forts at High Rochester in Northumberland and possibly also at Newstead in Borders, as he struck towards the Firth of Forth. Both of these sites, likewise similar such military installations at Risingham, Chew Green, Cappuck and Elginhaugh were very likely used as bases from which to launch strikes against the lowland tribes, the Votadini to the east and the Selgovae to the west. Having secured an overland supply route for military personnel and equipment along Dere Street, Urbicus very likely set up a supply port at Carriden for the supply of grain and other foodstuffs before proceeding against the Dumnonii tribe who inhabited South Strathclyde. This done, came the task of completing a new barrier of turf and timber stretching for thirty-five miles from east to west across the narrow neck of land separating the mighty Rivers Forth and Clyde, nowadays known as the Antonine Wall. It was possibly after the defences were finished that Urbicus turned his attention upon the last lowland Scottish tribe, the Novantae who inhabited the Dumfries and Galloway peninsula. These four lowland tribes, sandwiched as they were between Hadrian’s Wall of stone to the south and the new turf wall of Antoninus to the north, later formed a confederation against Roman opression collectively known as the Maeatae. Lollius Urbicus - Epigraphic Evidence RIB 1147/1148 Corbridge, Northumberland RIB 1276 High Rochester, Northumberland RIB 2191/2192 Balmuildy, Strathclyde Corbridge, Northumberland RIB 1147 (dated: 139AD) IMP T AELIO ANIONINO AVG PIO II COS SVB CVRA Q LOLII VRBICI LEG AVG PR PR LEG II AVG F “For the emperor Titus Aelius Antoninus Augustus Pius, Consul for the second time, under the command of Quintus Lollius Urbicus, legate of the Augustus with pro-praetorian power, the Second Legion Augusta built this”.
According to Prof Mary Beard in a Guardian article, a man called Quintus Lollius Urbicus, a Berber from what is now Algeria became governor of Roman Britain from AD 139-142. Explaining that it can be difficult to be sure of ethnicity because Africans took on Roman names, she said: “Even in the case of Septimius Severus, the first Roman emperor from Africa [Libya], we don’t actually know the colour of his skin, how far he was ‘native’, how far the descendent of Italian settler. The same goes for Quintus Lollius Urbicus, often claimed to be Berber, which he may well have been, but it isn’t certain.”
Can I also just say I do find it somewhat amusing that we are told that we have to decolonise history ( which I dont find to be a terrible idea where it makes sense) yet at the same time those same people hold up the Roman colonizers of Britain as positive examples of introducing Afro British culture. At least have your argument be intellectually cogent!
Said when 95% have been propagandized all their lives and for centuries in the USA. Big deal that you know more, have an argument; it doesn't help things either from what I observe. Try confirming everyone knows the same thing first. Knowledge isn't available for everyone to access like you believe, that's what propagandist are about.
Brilliant lecture, it throughs light on the hidden history of Africans in Britain, dating back 2000 years and beyond and high lights the contribution Africans made to British society and are still making into the present time.
Sorry but your wrong. I can tell you that before the 50s in the uk there were practically NO blacks here. I was born here in the 60s so I know British history very well. Blacks have not been here for thousands of years. We have never had any black nobility, black kings or queens and NO black tudors ever. Your believing a myth.
Highlights what contribution. If there was any,you could name them but you can't. There are no archeological evidence or artifacts or Language connection or recorded texts.
Please make a distinction between subsuharan and North African peoples. There is a difference. If there is evidence of subsuharan people in Britain in the Roman Era at least tell us how they got there.
The question is, at what time did that distinction become relevant. The area we refer to as North Africa, did not always have a population that different from sub Saharan Africa.
Why do people say AFRICA like it's one country with one people that all look the same. Africans did this or that, Africans were in all countries around the world... blah blah. Nobody talks about Europe in that way or any other continent for that matter.
There were black Europeans Chinese Japanese Russians. We were everywhere.these gentiles are very upset that we were already here. Chris Columbus did not discover Amerikkka.
B'cos Afrika is the birth place of humanity and the cradle of civilization. That's why evidently two black people has the genetic potential to birth white but 2 white cannot.
My family is from Barbados. I’ve visited the island and grew up around the people. You cannot tell me the people of Barbados, majority African heritage, all came directly from Africa. No way. They also came from Europe. I don’t know the numbers, but not in any small amount.
Thankyou Someone with sense Caribbean people are have little to none African ancestry the dominant ethnic groups in the Caribbean are indegenous Americans and indegenous (black) Europeans Black Irish Black scottish.
@@ineedsatoshis2403 what is the difference... Where did the European blacks came from, ... My dear, they also came from Africa... So don't be confused.... Listen to the profound message from Peter Tosh... If you are a black man, you are an African.
Amen Ms. Harris. My father had these books on his bookshelf over 70 years ago. He knew his our ancestors history going all the way back to biblical times...thousands of years ago.
Am not surprised that Africans contributed globally. I have been studying our African history for twenty seven years, because to be honest with you I wasn’t taught anything about my history at all. They will say that Africans came from the jungle and we were slaves. But now I am more than satisfied and happy that Africans gave birth to our civilisation such as in Kemet, Cush, Dahomey, Timbuktu, Ghana etc. Africans were inventors and doctors such as medicine engineering and architecture. Now, Africans in Britain such as Sam Coleridge Taylor, Queen Charlotte, Mary Seacole, the Druids, David Pitt, Diane Abbott, Bernie Grant, Paul Boateng, Marc Wadsworth, Paul Greene, Moira Stuart, Daley Thompson, Viv Anderson, Ian Wright etc. Then we are talking Africans who have contributed to the British Society past and present.
You do know that Mary Seacole the African Nurse fed Mercury to her patients as she thought this would help them recover quickly. Her legacy is one big myth. If you visited a library and researched the history of the uk you'll find the truth and not this made up nonsense. Africans have not contributed anything to the uk ever. In fact black folks didn't start arriving in the uk until the early 50s.
Also as mentioned earlier I was born in the 60s in the uk and I can tell you from personal experience that it was practically rare to see a black person in the uk before the 50s.
@@janettewhitchurch5118 well Janette, it never dawn on you why there are statues of blacks and brown folks that existed before you and your great-grandparents? The 50's? How about they were there before 50AD. Start looking around, and asking questions and reading. You never questioned about your Queen Charlotte? Ignorance is bliss i guess.
@@janettewhitchurch5118 But you are talking of your personal experiences which were obviously limited... Had you experienced life in several towns/cities (mainly sea ports) you would have regularly seen 'black' people before the 1950s - they certainly were not 'rare'!!
Great piece, I am from the Caribbean, and I am very pleased to hear some of what he is saying, especially that the part where the Hamites in Ghanaian was selling the Shemites into slavery. The scriptures tells us that the Shemites traveled down with their brother Ham, so we can see how this is possible, because Ham knows that his brother Shem was who The Most High had called to be his chosen people but disobedient put us in this predicament.
I wish you would stop talking about the biblical book stuff just think about what the Greeks and the Romans were doing before the Spanish think about the Greeks going to school in Egypt and they coming up with Homer do the research on Homer and the Elliott
Kinloch was eliotnessy mary queen of Scots my friend. See Mary, Queen of Scots (r.1542-1567) Born at Linlithgow Palace, West Lothian on 8 December 1542, Mary became Queen of Scots when she was six days old. Her claims to the throne of England were almost as strong as her claims to the Scottish throne.
Are you actually disputing historical facts?? This lecturer presented literature, historical documents, news paper clips, quotes from contempories and you still discard it as "woke" propaganda?? So is anything that challenges the Eurocentric narrative just "woke" propaganda??
If you are going to speak about the passed you need to tell the whole story, the whole and not just a bit and change what you don’t think you can talk about.
I feel I see what you see and I am out of my mind that others can't see it and why those who know keep talking around it. I'd love to here from you and compare notes
Amazing history we as African diaspora Have many of the People of the Bible like Moses were brown skin as well as Many in Judea were Brown skin so our collective history is very Ancient and Rich Peace ✌
So we're the Aryans before turning white through climate or mixing i think all were dark even through intermixing i don't believe they were all different we all came out of Africa
Your being fed a load of nonsence. Go to a library and you'll find the TRUE history of the uk. Black people have not been in the uk for thousands of years
WHERE IN AFRICA ? were these people descended from ?? Its quite relevant and important to know, because Africa is a massive continent and each country is very different from place to place.
It wasn’t “fashionable” to send their sons to Britain to school. It was a pragmatic decision based on the recognition of the patriarchal Western hegemony to which they then had to adapt, and in which they had to maneuver!
Sorry guys but this guy is telling you lies. I was born in the uk in the 60s and I can tell you from personal experience that before 1950 there were hardly any black people in the uk. They came in the late 40s on the ship Windrush. They were not invited by the government. In fact the government changed the laws to stricter immigration laws after they kept arriving. There has never been any black nobility, queens or black kings ever in the history of the uk.
yeah keep telling yourself that there are plenty of pictures and monuments , gold colns , paintings that white people themselves are denying that are literally found in europe and labeling them as slaves when those were the real royals of europe!
How about king James who translated the Old Testament, he was African, those people were not Romans they were Israelites, going away from the Romans who were at war with them.
I believe Subsuharan is a label that was thrown out there because the people who threw it out there didn’t want to say Hebrew Israelite. That’s my belief.
I see the world as it is. And Human Trafficking is still working! It doesn't have stop! It could be in the UK, but not in Germany! Do you think that this stops, by giving them money for the work they're doing for others, who wnat not do the JOB? If I AM not coreact, then you have the right to correct me! Thanks in advance!
I also recommend a book by David Alston about the role of Scottish Highlanders in slavery and human trafficking - Slaves and Highlanders - for anyone who is interested
nope...the history of oppression is certainly taught... in your case I suggest you get on your pedestal and start a movement to have one instituted in the whole continent, starting in... oh...let's say, Libya, and then you can go from country to country, keeping us back here informed of your progress... that should, at the very least, temper your ignorance, if not your arrogance.
I see Hakim Adi preaching to the converted again but he can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all the time but he cannot fool all of the people all the time ... A. Lincolm
Where did he lie?? By the way, that quote : "You can fool people sometimes but can't fool all the people all the time" - Bob Marley quote from "Get up, stand up"
As poc of color we need to stop splitting hairs about which africans did what where. There reason why we can't piece the story together is because of the illusions we live with today in our individual selves. Anyone who has left home into uncharted waters to a new life, to have children along the way and to have those same children's behavior and way of thinking mix with freedoms of the new life's ways threaten solidifying life in the new place. You will not get the full picture. Some kids gain glory out of the tricks of trauma. You got to cut them loose and let them say what they want it's crazy how the story gets turned around. Parents become tyrannical royalty, family members and neighbors prey on you. Bleeding heart take up arms about the wrong parts of your life because they don't have the whole story. Others trying to make a name off of my troubles. Those rebel children chyle!!
To be fair ; there were 40 or 50 people of African descent living in Britain in the 16 th century . Out of 4.2 million. It's about 0.00000001 % of the population.
Has anyone read, "Paekche's Principle: The Great Secret of Asia". I'm reading it for the Fourth time now. I encourage anyone to check it out, it reveals the genocides of black Asians over the centuries untill they were totally exterminated. You can discover the agents of these genocides for yourself, it also explains the connection to the current tensions in the Korean Peninsula.
The great secret of Asia has no historical value and it's author has no relevant academic qualifications. He graduated in business management. He wrote the book in French. As for his claims of black genocide I can refer you to actual books on Asian history covering the same period by authors with degrees in Asian history. Why don't you read Early China: A Social and Cultural History by Li Feng who Has an actual relevant degree He received his MA in 1986 from the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. He is an expert in ancient Chinese artifacts. See if any of BIYICK, BAYEMY's claims are confirmed in that book. There are many many other books on ancient Asian history by renowned historians you can bet your life none of them will support the propaganda within the one you are reading.
@@UICeinnselaig If I had read your comment before reading," Paekche's Principle: The Great Secret of Asia" I would have probably taken it seriously, so as I'm reading this book for the fourh time now, I can't take your comment seriously. You obviously don't know what the contents of this book are.
@@opioo.4998 😂😂😂 Go on then name the date of the genocide. And I'll tell you what actually happened in Asia at that date. Not that I expect you to provide that answer. Your ilk never provide answers when asked. Do you know what validates books on history. Firstly that the author has relevant qualifications in the subject and that the work is peer reviewed. Your book has neither.
You are so right it is "so much b.s.” BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS (They were Black European Not Black Africans! They were already living there before the others came from the Caracas mountains. History" please research it. Before the Viking came to Europe it was all black people living in Europe that’s really why they called it The Dark Ages!
@Tayi AyFemDif what are you talking about? The dark ages is an outdated term used by scholars biased to the Roman empire who characterised the period marked by economic, intellectual, and cultural decline. Are you actually trying to claim the term has anything to do with black people? And what is this so called light ages?
@@lindajeanserveinlove before the Vikings came to Europe it was all black people? 😂😂😂 The Vikings were Nordic people and that means indigenous to Europe. And you should look at the Bayeux Tapestry from the 11th century which the Normans created and depicts the Norman conquest of Britain and not a single black person in sight. Why don't you explain why no black people can speak any of the Celtic languages like Gaelic or Welsh or Cornish or Flemish or Basque. I'll tell you why because it's not your history. You think you can claim our history because you have a little knowledge of our most famous historical figures and events in history when you and your ilk are challenged on the deeper history of Europe and Britain you melt. You don't know anything about the little known battles of Europe and Britain you wouldn't be able to tell me in your own words the battle of Stamford bridge or the battle of Hastings and the English civil war or the war of the roses and the reformation or why the Baltic war happened or the Crimean war. Why don't you tell me what strange little known laws William the conqueror brought to Britain after his conquest. There are thousands of videos on RU-vid about little known historical figures and events in European history and you don't find any Black people in the comments trying to claim them because they don't know they exist. You didn't come to Europe till after colonialism and Britain didn't even have it's first black MP till the 19 century. You culture vultures need to get out of our history.
Steven Sub-Saharan Africans made up a large portion of N. Africa. I see where u are going with your question and that there is a cultural difference and a race difference. U are assuming that N. Africans are of Europeans descent. 10,000 years ago lived the "CHEDDAR MAN", A DARK SKIN PERSON OUT OF AFTICA.
Cheddar man was not african descent at all. He was from the Anatolian hunter gatherer's. Western Asia. And the original scientist involved has said this. There's no way to know that the first Briton had ‘dark to black skin’ says scientist who helped reconstruct his 10,000-year-old face.
@@UICeinnselaig actually there is plenty of ways , there descriptions are in old newspapers and articles in europe. people have posted them and made videos.

I’m just learning how many of the ‘indentured servants’ sent to the West Indies and Americas in the 1600-1800s were black/swarthy people that were kicked out of their indigenous homelands of Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, etc. There are free/open source books from the 1800s (archive dot org or Google play) that explain this. It’s definitely not a rabbit hole to start though, unless committed to finding truth. -Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland Vol 17 (1840) -Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy 2nd Series Vol. II (1879) -Family names from the Irish, Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman and Scotch (1843) -Origin of the Anglo Saxon Race (1840) -The races of Europe (1867). - Phases of Irish History (1920) -Ancient and Modern Britons Vol I

I believe we as Indigenous People of Many Beautiful Colors, have been migrating around this World, long before it was documented. Why is it so hard to believe, we couldn’t come from somewhere else, other than what we were taught? Or Be someone other than who they said we were. Educational books. Why do we still believe a narrative that someone else made up. We don’t have to be limited to 1 regions/1 area or 1part of this big beautiful Planet. Positive, Uplifting with Education. All Humans need to start learning a new truth & schools need to teach from books that has been hidden. ( such as Different Coats of Arms with Brown skin Royalty ) which is such an eye opener.

@@toddwilford9705 They literally evolved in isolation to form their own unique haplogroups, traditions, cultures. So you can argue the ones that arrived were not native, their progeny however did become native to the lands.

@@toddwilford9705 by your reasoning everyone in the world is a colonizer then right? Except for the original first humans, which we have very little actual info/data to peg to one specific place. On a side note native Americans don't call themselves "ABORIGINALS", that's a modern cult formed by black Americans being tired of claiming to be hebrews. Guess they got tired of bagels, and wanted to switch to fried bread.
Europeans have always had respect for African people 'til the 1960s when most African countries became socialists and Africa then became poor. Africans would still have respect if they hadn't chosen to become socialists.
