John Kimber was the captain of a British slave ship who was tried

Image
  John Kimber was the captain of a British slave ship who was tried for murder in 1792,  after the abolitionist William Wilberforce accused him of torturing to death an enslaved teenaged girl on the deck of his ship. Kimber was acquitted, but the trial gained much attention in the press. The case established that slave ships' crew could be tried for murder of slaves.Publicity about the case contributed to growing opposition to the African slave trade, which the British parliament prohibited in its colonies by the Slave Trade Act 1807.In 1791, John Kimber was the captain of Recovery, a slave ship of 189 tons (bm) from Bristol, England.[1] The Recovery travelled from Bristol to New Calabar in West Africa, where it collected approximately 300 slaves who were to be sold at Grenada in the Caribbean. The vessel left Africa on 1 September, and arrived at Grenada on 28 October, by which time 27 of the slaves had died.[2] "Dancing the slaves" was a regular part of the routine of a...

Did you know Clint Eastwood once worked as a logger before landing breakout role in Hollywood? In 1949, Clint Eastwood left Oakland Technical High School to take up a risky outdoor job. He became a logger at the Weyerhaeuser Company Mills, where his father also worked. Eastwood relocated to Springfield, Oregon, where he was paid $1.80 an hour, a substantial wage at that time, for his work in tree felling. Eastwood shared his lumberjack experiences in the 1992 biography "Clint Eastwood: Sexual Cowboy" by Douglas Thompson. He recounted a particularly dangerous moment while on the job: “I heard a shout and looked up and saw the crane driver and I hadn’t quite got it organized,” Eastwood said. “A nasty load of giant logs hung suspended over my head. I don’t think I’ve reacted faster in my life. Yet even as I started to run, down came the logs. Any one of them could have crushed the life out of me. I just barely jumped clear- as the logs hit the ground they jammed against the cran...

In recent years, too many in the African American community have expressed

In recent years, too many in the African American community have expressed a disconnect to Holocaust topics, seeing the  genocide of Jews as someone else’s nightmare. After all, African Americans are still struggling to achieve general recognition of the barbarity of the Middle Passage, the inhumanity of slavery, the oppression of Jim Crow, and the battle for modern civil rights. For many in that community, the murder of six million Jews, and millions of other Europeans, occurred in a faraway place where they had no involvement. However, a deeper look shows that proto-Nazi ideology before the Third Reich, as well as Nazi-era policy and Hitler’s post-war legacy, deeply impacted Africans, Afro-Germans, and African Americans throughout the twentieth century. America’s black community has, in fact, a mighty stake in this topic. Understanding the Nazi Reich and the Holocaust is important for blacks just as it is for other communities, including Roma people, people with disabilit...
