We take a look at the amazing Rise and Fall of Sylvester Long also known as Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance. A Soldier, Athlete, Author, Journalist, Public Speaker and Actor.

We discuss the hidden Non white (Pardo, Self Liberated Freedmen, Negros, Indios, Mullato and Peasant) Militia of Mexico in the City of Puebla that overcame insurmountable odds to win the Battle of Puebla historically coined Cinco De Mayo. We attempt to apply counter racist logic in gathering conclusions of who/why non white warriors are systematically hidden from this American Historical moment. We also discuss the ramifications of this battle in the Civil War conflict of the United States.

We discuss the 2 year long runaway maroon insurrection in South Carolina lead by charismatic maroon bandit Forest Joe. We use interview of author Syliviane A. Diouf to provide historical context. We also question why the Denmark Vessey conspiracy is more publicized than the 2 year insurrection of Forest Joe and his band of Runaway Maroons.

We acknowledge the Heroic and Patriotic efforts of Black Americans during the Revolutionary War. Promises of freedom for their war participation were not granted after they defended the Independence efforts of the 13 Colonies. We use Fredrick Douglas, Kareem Abdul Jabar & James Earl Jones to add context.
