ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS FROM

Feb 14, 2017 by Timster
THE #LEMONADE FILM NOW OPEN FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.  @1:32 I feel so emotional looking at this scene.

"1:32 is one of the deepest moments of Lemonade, is a reference to Igbo Landing. For those who don’t know, Igbo Landing is the location of a mass suicide of Igbo slaves that occurred in 1803 on St. Simons Island, Georgia.
A group of Igbo slaves revolted and took control of their slave ship, grounded it on an island, and rather than submit to slavery, proceeded to march into the water while singing in Igbo, drowning themselves in turn. They all chose death over slavery. It was an act of mass resistance against the horrors of slavery and became a legend, particularly amongst the Gullah people living near the site of Igbo Landing."
