追加: 2026-05-15

[00:00:02]May 803, St. Simon's Island, Georgia.

[00:00:08]A slave [music] ship docked to Dunar Creek.

[00:00:13][singing] 75 ebo captives were brought from West Africa.

[00:00:18][singing] They were already in chains. [music] They would not stay that way.

[00:00:30]Yeah.

[00:00:34][singing] >> The year is 803, [music] the month of May, the place of Georgia Shore.

[00:00:41][music] The ship arrived at Dunbar Creek, a waterway [singing] in St. Simon's, nothing more.

[00:00:48]75 ebo men and women had been taken from the land, [music] shipped across the Atlantic in the middle passage, shackled [music] hand to hand. [singing] The Igbo people came from what is now southeastern Nigeria.

[00:01:05]A civilization with governance, with language, with clear social order.

[00:01:12]They were seized [music] by slave traders forced below the deck in cargo hoes. Star changed [music] and stripped of everything, their names, their homes, their own. [singing] The vessel landed on the Georgia [music] coast for transfer and for sale.

[00:01:29][singing] John Cooper [music] and Thomas Bald and had purchased them wholesale [singing] [music] before they could be dispersed to plantations and separated for good.

[00:01:41]The captives made a decision that changed the record [music] as it stood.

[00:01:49]>> They were not cargo. [music] >> They were not property.

[00:01:52]>> They were evil.

[00:01:53]>> They chose their own sovereignty.

[00:01:55]>> Evil landed.

[00:01:56]>> Maya free. [music] >> 75 souls took back what was theirs.

[00:02:01]>> Their dignity. They seized the ship.

[00:02:03][music] They drowned the crew. They walked into the sea. Singing [music] it.

[00:02:08]>> The water brought us. water.

[00:02:11]>> The water sets us free. [music] The uprising began on a vessel while still docked at the creek. The captives overpowered the slavers. [music] The outcome was not unique in their will to seek.

[00:02:25]>> They drowned the ship's [music] captain and crew members in the water right there. Historians confirmed the revoke was coordinated deliberate, not despair.

[00:02:34][music] After taking control of the vessel, they [music] did not attempt to sail or flew by boat. Instead, they stepped off that ship and in the dumbar creek that is on record. Take note.

[00:02:49]They waited into the water together. All 75 as [music] a single body singing in the language. Unified in voice, unified in [music] resolve and clarity.

[00:03:01]The phrase recorded in oral tradition translates directly.

[00:03:05]>> The [music] water brought us here.

[00:03:07]>> The water WILL CARRY US BACK HOME.

[00:03:09]>> That is what the witnesses report they could [music] hear.

[00:03:13]Several bodies were recovered from the creek and the surrounding marsh ground.

[00:03:17][music] >> The site today is recognized as a sacred historical landmark on that sound.

[00:03:26]>> They were not [music] defeated.

[00:03:28]>> They were not broken. Their last that was chosen.

[00:03:31]>> Their last words [music] were spoken.

[00:03:32]>> It all landed. [singing] Radio.

[00:03:36]>> 75 souls [music] took back what was theirs.

[00:03:38]>> Their dignity.

[00:03:39]>> They seized the ship. They drowned the crew. They walked [music] into the sea.

[00:03:44]Singing in [singing] a boat.

[00:03:46]>> The water brought us.

[00:03:48]>> The water [music] sets us free. Yeah.

[00:03:51]This is the first recorded mass freedom [music] suicide on American soil documented [music] by slaveholders recorded in deeds insurance and toil.

[00:04:03][music] The financial loss was noted.

[00:04:06]Cooper and Spalding file claims that day. The human cost was not recorded by them. History [music] found another way.

[00:04:16]The equal belief system taught that death returns [music] the person to the ancestral homeland.

[00:04:23]This was not desperation.

[00:04:25]This was theology, a doctrinal state. In [music] egro cosmology, the spirit travels back across the water after death. So what the slave holders [music and singing] call suicide? The ebo call reclaiming breath.

[00:04:39]>> St. Simon's Island sits in Glen County on the Georgia coast today. Dunbar [music] Creek still runs through it. The water has not gone [singing] away. In 2002, the state of Georgia placed a historical marker at the site. The Igbo Landing Heritage Trail now [music] documents what happened that night.

[00:05:03][music] >> 75 names were never recorded by those who held the pen, but the act was recorded.

[00:05:09]>> [music] >> deeds and lost reports in the creeks and fence. The Igbo landing [music] of 803 is a documented historical event, >> not a legend, [music] >> not a myth.

[00:05:21]>> It happened. It is permanent.

[00:05:23]>> The water at Dumbar Creek [music] still moves.

[00:05:26]>> The record does not erase.

[00:05:28]>> 75 people [singing] >> chose freedom on their own terms [music] >> in their own space.

[00:05:47]>> [music] >> Georgia 1803 a creek [singing and music] a ship 75 people who crossed an ocean in chains [music] >> and decided at Dunar creep >> that they would not take [music] one more step is property.

[00:06:17][music] >> Yeah.

[00:06:22]Yeah.

[00:06:23]>> Yeah. [music] They came from equal land in the southeast of what is Nigeria today.

[00:06:30]A people with their own courts, their own tongue, their own way. [music] Yeah.

[00:06:35]Captured, traded, loaded [singing] beneath the deck of a transatlantic ship.

[00:06:41]The middle passage [music] took months.

[00:06:43]Disease, starvation, darkness, no grip.

[00:06:47]They arrived at St. Simon's Island, Georgia in the month [music] of May.

[00:06:53]John Cooper and Thomas Spalding had already agreed on what to pay. [music] 75 human beings were listed as lifestyle on a bill of sale. [music] But before those papers could be unearthed, the captive shifted the scale.

[00:07:11]They overpowered the crew while the vessel still [music] sat at the dock.

[00:07:15]>> Oh yeah. The ships overseer drowned [music] in that creek that is in the historical block.

[00:07:23]>> Not one of the 75 ran, not one of [music] them scatter fled.

[00:07:29]They made a collective decision and [music] they followed instead [singing and music] by >> St. Simon all the three.

[00:07:42]>> Say it all three.

[00:07:43]>> 75 [music] captives chose the terms of being free.

[00:07:48]>> They walked into [music] that water >> with their voices to still sing [singing] it loud.

[00:07:54]>> The water carried us here.

[00:07:56]>> The water carries us back. They [music] said it proud. [screaming] The eo cosmology held one specific truth above all other law.

[00:08:06]>> That death is [music] a doorway back to the ancestral land without a flaw.

[00:08:12]>> The spirit crosses [music] the water and returns to where it first began.

[00:08:18]So what [music] slaveholders recorded as mass suicide was part of a larger plan.

[00:08:24]They waited in [music] together all 75 singing in Igbo as they went. The phrase TRANSLATES [music] THE WATER BROUGHT US. THE WATER is our descent. [singing] [music] Several bodies were pulled from the marland by those who held the deed. [music] INSURANCE CLAIMS WERE FILED. Financial loss is recorded. That is how we can read. [music] The event survived in written history because it cost the slaveholders money. [music] The names of the 75 were never written. The ledger found that funny. [screaming] First recorded mass [music] freedom act of its kind on American ground.

[00:09:07]>> NOT a rumor, NOT A FOLK TALE.

[00:09:09]DOCUMENTED, RECOVERED, FOUND.

[00:09:12][music] The state of Georgia >> placed a marker there in 2002.

[00:09:19]>> Dunar Creek still runs.

[00:09:21]>> The record is permanent. The [music] 75 were true.

[00:09:26]>> No rebellion on American soil [music] before this date match what they did.

[00:09:31]>> They did not [music] negotiate.

[00:09:33]>> They did not petition.

[00:09:34]>> They did not stay here.

[00:09:37]>> They seized the ship. [music] They silenced the crew.

[00:09:40]>> They stood on Georgia land. Uh then [music] they turn back to the water and return by their own hands.

[00:09:49]>> The Egoland and Heritage [music] Trail now marks the sight for those who seek home.

[00:09:56]Blink County holds [music] the coordinates. THE MARSH, THE ISLAND, THE CREEK.

[00:10:01]75 people, one creek, one morning in May.

[00:10:07][music] They are the first chapter >> in a record that did not go away.

[00:10:13]>> Dumbar [music] Creek remembers what no slave holders could contain.

[00:10:19]>> 75 [music] >> able souls who refused >> and walked home through the rain.

[00:10:26][music] [singing] >> Hey [music]
