Beyonce's "Love Drought" video was in memory of "Igbo Landing" story. An act of mass resistance against slavery. A group of Igbo slaves revolted, took control of their ship, rather than submit to slavery, they drowned themselves. In the early 19th century, a tragic event known as the Igbo Landing took place in the United States, specifically on St. Simons Island, Georgia. The Igbo people, who were enslaved and brought to America, resisted their captivity in a remarkable and haunting way. As the story goes, a group of Igbo captives, refusing to live in b0ndage, staged a rebellion. They overtook their càptors and seized control of the ship that had brought them to the New World. In a bold and defiant act of resistance, they marched off the ship and into the waters of Dunbar Creek, choosing to dr0wn themselves rather than live as slaves. The Igbo Landing is a poignant and powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable hardship. It is a testament to the courage and dignity of those who f0ught against the dehumanizing institution of slavery, choosing freedom even in death. Today, the Igbo Landing is remembered as a symbol of resistance and liberation. It stands as a memorial to all those who have suffered and died in the struggle for freedom, and as a reminder of the enduring legacy of those who refused to be enslaved. When they were drowning, they were singing in Igbo, a song that translates to: "the water spirit brought us. The water spirit will take us home".

@AfricanHub_ I love my tribe. We bow for nobody. We rather die than be slaves
@AfricanHub_ There's something fishy about this so called story. Cuz igbo man will never betrayed his white gods only if not the Nigerian igbos I know.
@AfricanHub_ Today, in the face of harder hardship, no one is ready to seek redress.
@AfricanHub_ Did Beyonce say that was the story behind the song? Igbo Kwenu Iro Kwenu.....💪✍️
@AfricanHub_ Didn’t the Africans sell the Africans? I’m confused. Lol
I am Igbo. We are resilient Nigeria government and British government committed genocide against my people in 1967. More than 3.5 million died. Today they are still marginalising us in Nigería and we are struggling to be free. We will Restore Biafra and show Africa how a nation should be.
@AfricanHub_ This is a complete lie, and this never happened.
@AfricanHub_ I am a Nigeria I am igbo Olisa means God✌️💪
@AfricanHub_ This shame committed by these criminals against Africans must remain a stain on their foreheads as long as we live on this earth.
