About colored people, there are the French West Indies :
and slowly and slowy we make contacts with their associations :
as there is a compared approach :
descendents of genocide survivors // descendents of slaves
Lately on November 23, there has been in Guadeloupe Island an evening dedicated to Armenian-Guadeloupean Friendship. "Mayrig" film of Henry Verneuil was projected :
The special guest was the late director's daughter :

It is true, African American are different from West Indies people. As Mexicans are different from Cubans or Portoricans.Originally posted by chinchilla View Post
Still there are some historican commun legacies : Blacks in the New World are descendents of slaves, as Armenians, Jews, Cambodians and Rwandis are descendents of genocides survivors.
Last february I was in Atlanta and I visited the Martin Luther King Center. It was very moving. After this visit I created this page :
It would be appropriate if our Katholicoses Aram I or Karekine II would pay hommage to Martin Luther King with an oecumenical mass at the main Church of the MLK Center of Atlanta.
Musicians have to think how our beautiful Armenian religious songs would get along harmoniously with the beautiful Negro Spirituals.

Re: Armenian & African-American Communities : An imperceptable genocidal link ?
I saw the film : "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts " by Spike Lee (4 hours in the cinema)
I had already seen two other movies directed by him : "Michael X" & "Clockers"
When I saw this long film on what happenned in New Orleans, I can more fancy, I can more feel what happenned to the deportation of the Armenians in 1915.
If you happen to know Spike Lee or to meet him, please tell him that he can make a very good film on the Armenian Genocide.

Re: Armenian & African-American Communities : An imperceptable genocidal link ?
Dear friends,
Important things are happenning in the French West Indies.
It is not only an economical revendication. Life indeed is very expensive in the two french islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. Administrative structure is falsified by french centralization dogma ("Jacobinmisme"). The economy is almost colonial and exploited by the old white french class ("the bekes").
But there is also a revendication of French West Indies Identity, on being decendents of former slaves, a need to share memory of slavery and to make it known in French National Education System.
Please click on the logos of the "Departements d'Outre-Mer" (Over-Seas Counties) : Regional Councils, General Councils, Associations of Counties Mayors.
I also recall some compared historical-sociological facts on my home page :
"Créolité - Arménité : Mémoire(s) comparée(s) et partagée(s)"

"America deserves a leader who speaks truthfully about the Armenian Genocide and responds forcefully to all genocides. I intend to be that President." Barack Obama, January 19, 2008 (*1)
Today, the world knows about the Armenian Genocide committed by the Young-Turk Government of the Ottoman Empire in 1915. In the USA, more than 40 states have already recognized it officially. (*2) The denial of the Armenian Genocide is not....

PS - Have you seen the very good film "The Great Debaters" with Denzel Washington and produced by Oprah Winfrey ? It's the same struggle for authentic American values

Yes excellent film."All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

Re: Armenian & African-American Communities : An imperceptable genocidal link ?
Obama revoked his promise to call armenian "genocide" by it's proper name ? It is a political decision, a Realpolitk decision advised by his official advisers :
Anyway ...and meanwhile you can inform this compared approach :
to the African American Community
>> African American Church – Rev. Al Sharpton – Rev. James Forbes – Rev. Andrew Young – The MLK Center of Atlanta – The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture – The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education – The National Urban League – Historically black colleges and universities – List of historically black colleges of the United States – The NAACP National Association for the Advancement of Colored People – The Rainbow-Push Coalition – The Black Caucus – Ms Oprah Winfrey – Denzel Washington – Spike Lee – Allen and Albert Hughes Brothers
to friends of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Obama
...and certainly to so many other valuable African Americans whom I have not yet heard of.
