What are Sundown Towns?
A sundown or sunset town was a city, town or neighbourhood in the US that excluded non-whites after dark. The term sundown came from the signs that were posted at the Towns borders stating "Negro, Don't Let the Sun Set On You Here." A stark warning that let blacks know we had to leave by sundown.

Although he occasionally attended a one-room Quaker schoolhouse, Banneker was mostly self-educated and did much of his learning through the avid reading of borrowed books. It was noted that from a young age he was particularly skilled at Mathematics.His early accomplishments included constructing an irrigation system for the family farm and a wooden clock that kept accurate time and ran for more than 50 years until his death.To listen to the podcast click the link below:https://radiopublic.com/black-history-buff-podcast-WezjVV/ep/s1!cc8f8249d7273c5ba8471ef1d6f6f768275c77b8If you'd like to become a friend of the show follow the links below:https://pod.fan/black-history-buff-podcastYou can find me at:https://www.blackhistorybuff.com/pages/social-2) Support this podcast

Support the show on PatreonORBuy me a coffeeShow Notes: I'm going to be very honest here and make a confession. I'm a procrastinator, there I said it and it feels good. It’s taken me ages to finally admit that. So this particular proverb really hits home for me. “Supposing doesn't fill the grain basket “if” doesn't fill the larder.” This sounds so sounds obvious, it’s even a little easy to dismiss until you stop and think about the fact that at certain times in our past and even now, procrastination could be the difference between your family eating and not eating.

Support the show on PatreonORBuy me a coffeeShow Notes: Todays Proverb is an Igbo saying from Nigeria:“The big game often appears when the hunter has given up the hunt for the day”This saying really resonates with me as often I feel called to just quit, to give up and do something easier. I can Imagine the hunter, tired, deflated and on the verge of going home empty-handed. When suddenly their prize appears, and they forget about tiredness, hunger, that previous feeling of defeat and now the only thing that matters is overcoming their foe and getting what they came for. That ability to perform when you're at the end of your strength is what marks people out for greatness. So if you're listening to this. Don't give up, don't quit, your prize is waiting for you at the end of the day and when you see it YOU WILL have enough strength to bring it back home.https://www.blackhistorybuff.com/pages/social-2 (Find out more here)) Support this podcast

Support the show on PatreonORBuy me a coffeeShow Notes: This Episode is about an African Queen who defined Rome and carved out a place for herself in History.Kandake Amanirenas is one of the most celebrated rulers of the Ancient Kingdom of Kush, located in the region of Nubia, which we now know as Sudan. She ruled from 40BC to 10BC.Kandake - also known as Candace, Kendake or Kentake - was the title given to Queens and Queen Mothers of the region and is the origin of the modern name Candice. Kush was a civilisation centred in the North African region of Nubia. It was, In fact, one of the earliest civilisations to develop in the Nile River Valley. Kushite states rose to power before a period of Egyptian incursion into the area established an Egyptian dynasty, the 25th Dynasty, in 775 B.C.E. lasting until 653. (By the way, BC numbers work towards zero and AD numbers work away from 0, thanks Rome for making history way more confusing)The Pharaohs of this have been called the ‘Black Pharaohs’, or the ‘Ethiopian Pharaohs’.With a rich and vibrant trading culture, Kush coexisted in peace for centuries with its neighbours, due to its role in commerce and in the transportation of goods. The Kingdom of Kush represents yet another ancient African civilisation of which relatively few people outside of Africa are aware, often reducing Africa’s contribution to culture to the Egyptian legacy alone. Kush, however, is referenced in the Bible and The Kingdom was well known to the Romans. Fun fact. There are more pyramids in Sudan (Kush) than anywhere else in the world 220!"Listen to the show to find out the rest or head over to my website https://www.blackhistorybuff.com/ (www.blackhistorybuff.com) & https://www.blackhistorybuff.com/ (www.africanhistorypodcast.com)You can find the Black History Buff Podcast and more https://www.blackhistorybuff.com/pages/social-2 (here.)Credits:Music by - The Amazing @elanbrioCover art by @black_history_buff_777Special credit and thank you to:@mum_life_with_toni@vixharrisart@chris_antonie7@eye_black_man_podcastKat SuffolkDani CamusThank you for all your supportFind more at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/Blackhistorybuff/postsFind us on Instagram: @blackhistorybuff777 @bhb_media_777 & @black_history_podcastand finallySupport Black history buff at Paypal:paypal.me/blackhistorybuff777Thank you for your time and attention it means the world to me Ase) Support this podcast

Support the show on PatreonORBuy me a coffeeShow Notes: Todays episode features a scathing response to possibly the most Ill advised “take me back” letter ever and some wisdom from an ancient African proverb.Every so often, when I’m browsing the internet I’ll come across something that for some reason stops me dead in my tracks. Recently it was an image. The picture was of a sober looking dark skinned, middle aged Blackman, sporting a very full very fine beard. He had the kind of look on his face that your grandfather gives you right before asking you to “pick your own punishment” or to “go get the belt”. Children of all colours and cultures call it “The look” and it means that patience is wearing thin.The stern face in the picture belonged to a formerly enslaved man named Jourdan Anderson. Who lived during the 19th century. Very little is known about his life other, than that he was taken from his parents as a boy and sold in to a life of slavery. We know that he was born sometime around December 1825, and somewhere in Tennessee, and that he was “sold” to a General Paulding Anderson, who then “gifted” and I say that through gritted teeth, Jourdan, to his son Patrick Henry Anderson, who went by his middle name, Henry. We know that he married Amanda McGregor in 1848 and that the couple may have eventually had around 11 children and we know that in 1864 when Union troops camped out on the plantation where Anderson had been forced to labour for his entire life, that he, his family and possibly 32 other enslaved people were all freed due to President Lincon’s 1863 emancipation proclamation. This mass exodus broke the back of the plantation and ruined the finances of Patrick Henry Anderson, Jourdans former owner.
