Another annoying element of Black History month is how it focuses on a handful of famous blacks (MLK, Rosa Parks, Booker T. Washington, etc.).
Why don’t the promoters mention the black heroes from before and during the Revolutionary War?
Maybe it has something to do with how Woodrow Wilson slanted the history books against blacks in the early 1900s.
Let’s not go there now…
Instead let’s look at Harry Hoosier (1750-1806) – a black hero – who still flies under the radar.
Hoosier was a freed slave who couldn’t read or write.
Hoosier met an evangelical minister (Francis Asbury (1745-1816) who was considered one of America’s Founding Fathers) and travelled with Asbury learning and sharing the Gospel…and later preached to black communities.
Asbury later said Hoosier’s preaching was so good that eventually more white people came to his sermons than blacks.
Eventually, Hoosier went out on his own and evangelized the “western territory” that eventually became known as Indiana.
Indiana = Hoosiers…get it?
Another example of unknown black heroes was James Armistead (1748-1830) who served the Continental Army as an undercover agent (spy) under Lafayette. He pretended to be an escaped slave and went to the British camp as a servant.
He was such a good servant that they made him a personal assistant to Benedict Arnold.
Arnold was so impressed with Armistead that he asked him to become a spy for the British and sent him to the Continental Army camp…LOL!
The inside information Armistead provided to the Americans was considered crucial to their victory in the Battle of Yorktown.
In other words, an uneducated black American slave – who operated as a double agent – provided critical intel to help win the Revolutionary War.
How often do you hear stories like that?
This is another glaring example of how the Whores-of-Babble-On Presstitutes don’t want you to know the truth.
But we do.
