I would have missed a treasure.5 of 8 people found the following review helpful. African Burial Ground(s) ©By V. LoubrielI was honored to be named as the official photographer for the African Burial Ground National Monument's dedication. Whereas my full photo essay is far more extensive; a portion of my work and historical interpretation can be seen in Freedom In My Heart; Chapter Three; titled "Stolen Away". The African Burial Ground; A Gallery; Pages 80-81. I was part of this project for many years and proud that Howard University; my Spiritual Alma Mater played a major role. My memorializing in film; photography and essay of the dedication on October 5; 2007 brought Howard's contribution full circle. My full photography; filming and essays go far beyond the monument in New York; it's one of many I have memorialized and historically interpreted throughout North America and the Caribbean - hence the name African Burial Ground(s). When the monument was designed and dedicated; I gave the name at one end; "The Door of Return". I have photographed and filmed many many people from around the country and the world at this opening. The one idea being; no matter who you are; from teacher to President of the United States; the one true and undeniable right one has is "Freedom". The original term stems from "The Door of No Return" at Senegal Dungeon on Goree Island; Fortress Elmina; Cape Coast Castle and others in Ghana; on the Gold and Ivory Coast. Captured Africans to be enslaved passed through these places and went through doors never to be seen again - hence the term "The Door of No Return". My Great Grandmother died at the age of 103. Although I was 6 years old; I knew my Great Grandmother; saw the lashes on her back and scaring from her shackles. I went to Africa and saw these places; my heart sanked as I felt the pain of my own family enslaved. My photography at "The Door of Return" predates the monument's completion - when only the frame work existed. All of this copyrighted work is for my book in progress; titled "The Door of Return". This book is a family and people's saga from freedom; to enslaved. to return and freedom. The inscription on the side of the African Burial Ground National Monument reads; "For all those who were lost; "For all those who were stolen; For all those who were left behind; For all those who were not forgotten".Review and Author; Photographer-Essayist and Film Director; Victorio Loubriel."Freedom of the mind; is the beginning of all Freedoms"[...]Go to: Honor From Civil War to Civil Rights ©[...]
