Tribute to African-Americans in Samana

[mayte]

It good to learn and also acknowledge our roots. Yes indeed Africa is part of the Dominican History. If anyone is interested please see Platanos and Collard Greens. It is an amazing play for both the Dominican and African American culture.

Santa Barbara de Samana

Hi
I spent time in Las Galeras and Samana last year, including time with Martha Willmore. I have a few questions. Does anyone know if the African Americans who went to Samana went directly there, or through Santo Domingo and other parts? Did they all come from Philadelphia or did some sail from NY? Also, I met Martha as Martha but have since heard her called Leticia. I wonder why.

Thank you

Thanks to everybody contributing to this thread. I, for one, have most certainly found it to be extremely interesting and educational. Before now I had never heard of this historical event and am truly greatful to have been exposed to it. I will be following up to see what other information I can find to expand this educational opportunity. At this moment, I find myself sitting here wondering if I myself had or have any ancestors who went to live in Samana, considering that one of the surnames of the original 33 families is Hamilton, which is our family name on my grandmother's side. Hmmmm....

Hi

I would like to see the video, how does one obtain a copy. I am a seminiarian student who has been doing research in this area. I have visited Samana and met with Ms Martha Wilmore. I have also gathered data from the African Methodist Episcopal Church which arranged for the migration along with others.
