Black History Month: Thoughts

The impressions of slavery are as striking today as it was thousands of years ago, and it is imperative to note the correlation between slavery and progress is indelibly intertwined; irrevocable in its casts, and the catalyst that have embolden monarchies, and propelled politicians, industries, and opportunities to the forefront of human existence. Slavery is undoubtedly an adversity due to its dark mark on the progress of men and the advent of slaves as an industry, yet it is this scourge that has provide impetus for many successes in contemporary society. The impact of slavery on contemporary society is undeniable, and one only needs to look at the diversity of culture that exists within our societies, to understand its significance, and to realize how profound this impact is in shaping our future. Few have sought to understand how pivotal the role of slaves is to the luxuries and courtesies we enjoy, in addition to the opportunities created through the dynamics of the pool of fresh and innovative ideas pregnant with promise. This mixes in ethnicity have given birth to an ever-evolving society and has made the promise for the future exciting.

 

The evidence of slavery is ingrained in our society; its essence having permeate every facet of our ever-changing culture, and its impact on the dynamism of our history and future, central to the depth of the evolution that has transform the human way of life.

Irrespective of one’s ethnicity and cultural identity, individuals, and indeed the wider society has benefitted immensely from the scar of slavery, having come to realize just how profound such an atrocity have contributed to the ever-changing stature of contemporary society. It is an enigma that has transformed our way of life, giving birth to innovation, creativity, and social identity; dispelling dogmas and ideas that have shackled hands and feet, yet did not break the mind, spirit, and will have disenfranchised migrants. The industry of slavery is one that spoke of the debasement and imprisonment of the souls of men, women, and children, and the rape and hostage of entire nations as a means to satisfy the vulgarity of wealth displayed by historically affluent segments of various societies. The famous English author William Cowper (1731-1800) was a popular 18th century poet, and a firsthand witness to the profiteering of slavery, succinctly wrote “Forced from home and all its pleasures, Affric coast I left forlorn; to increase a stranger’s treasure, o the raging billows borne. Men from England bought and sold me, paid my price in paltry gold, but though theirs they have enrolled me, minds are never to be sold”.

The link between slavery and its dynamism; a myriad of races, the pool of talent, and a kaleidoscope of ideas that make up our society is striking, and it is imperative that we identify and understand the thread of diversity and innovation that has been engineered through this link to provide the essence of slavery through the narratives left behind, that speaks of displaced and disenchanted people, providing evidence of their awareness and systems of survival. 

The role played by slavery is intrinsic to every opportunity we enjoy in society today. This has charted an improved way of life in no uncertain way and is immeasurable in its significance since society would not be the same today, if not for the contributions of slavery. Contemporary society is characterized by the impact human knowledge and interactions have exemplified the efforts of successive generations to progress. How the human way of life has evolved, is testament to the diversity afforded through the vehicle of the slave trade, and its revolutionary factors of ethnic and cultural diversity, that uniquely create social, cultural, economic, and technological advances in modern society.
