An Emancipation Story

Overview

This is a short animation that explains to young children the history of many African descendants all over the world. It tells the story of an unforgettable event that started in Africa. It highlights the heroism that took place in many countries including Haiti and Jamaica which led to the eventual emancipation of Africans who were once captured as slaves for 400 years.

The history of all peoples of African descent across the Caribbean, North America, South America and other parts of the world is richly steeped with Heroes. We captured images of a sample of the most noted heroes that contributed to the fight against oppression and served as a motivating factor toward emancipation (Nanny, Dutty Boukman, Toussaint Louverture are just a few).
