This is a 3-part of a series about Martin Delany, born in 1812 in Charles Town, then Virginia going on to be the first African-American field officer in the U.S. Army, organizer in 1859 of a year long scientific expedition in West Africa, Harvard educated physician, co-editor of The North Start with Frederick Douglass, author of several books including one of the very first important novels by an African-American. It was called "Blake: The Huts of American," the story of a traveling insurrectionist serialized in the Anglo-African magazine in 1858-1860. After Lincoln met him in February, 1865 in the White House, the President immediately sent a memo to his Secretary of War, stating: "Do not fail to have an interview with this most intelligent and extraordinary black man."

With Sonny Luckett as Martin Delany

Made possible with the generous, community-minded support of American Public University System (apus.edu) to encourage fact-based discussion into the foundational issues from which our nation has evolved.

8. TITLE: Dahomey was notoriously focussed on war, slave hunts, mass human sacrifice and beheadings.

9. TITLE: Farming and trades were scorned in favor of conquests and plunder from twice-a-year slave hunts, their source of money.

10. TITLE: 5,000 elite, fierce women warriors formed the core.

11. TITLE: Martin Delany planned his trip for mid-August, 1859 to Abeokuta – the walled city that protected against slavers

12. TITLE: He postponed. A mass human sacrifice was done in July in which the Dahomeans used the blood of 2,000 victims to fill a ditch with enough blood "to float a canoe"

13. TITLE: Every August this "Grand Custom" used this blood to "water the graves" of past Kings.

Delany responding to the news of the 1859 Grand Custom

Subsidizing the King of Dahomi
There is some talk by Christians and philanthropists in Great Britain of subsidizing the King of Dahomi. I hope for the sake of humanity, our race, and the cause of progressive civilization, this most injurious measure of compensation for wrong, never will be resorted to nor attempted.

To make such an offering just at a time when we are about to establish a policy of self-regeneration in Africa, which may, by example and precept, effectually check forever the nefarious system, and reform the character of these people, would be to offer inducements to that monster to continue, and a license to other petty chiefs to commence the traffic in human beings, to get a reward of subsidy.

Bathing
Bathing should be strictly observed by every person at least once every day. Each family should be provided with a large sponge, or one for each room if not for each person, and free application of water to the entire person, from head to foot, should be made every morning.

Early Rising—Breezes
Every person should rise early in Africa, as the air is then coolest, freshest, and purest; besides the effect upon the senses, the sight and song of the numerous birds to be seen and heard, produce a healthful influence upon the mental and physical system. The land and sea-breezes blow regularly and constantly from half-past three o’clock p.m. till half-past ten o’clock a.m., when there is a cessation of about five hours till half-past three again.[Pg 322]

Never Sultry
The evenings and mornings are always cool and pleasant, never sultry and oppressive with heat, as frequently in temperate climates during summer and autumn. This wise and beneficent arrangement of Divine Providence makes this country beautifully, in fact, delightfully pleasant; and I have no doubt but in a very few years, so soon as scientific black men, her own sons, who alone must be more interested in her development than any other take the matter in hand, and produce works upon the diseases, remedies, treatment, and sanitary measures of Africa, there will be no more contingency in going to Africa than any other known foreign country. I am certain, even now, that the native fever of Africa is not more trying upon the system, when properly treated, than the native fever of Canada, the Western and Southern States and Territories of the United States of America.

Powerful Oya songs (mother of changes)
Ministry of Miracles Healing School SB
Oyá is a fierce and powerful female warrior orisha in Santeria. She is the owner of the marketplace, and keeps the gates of the cemetery. She is the force of change in nature and in life. She wields lightning and rides the winds into battle, often fighting with her machetes side-by-side with her favorite lover, Changó. Oyá raises the armies of the dead as her soldiers and is said to use the tornado as her weapon. Oyá’s aché is fierce, tumultuous, changing and protective.

Oya: Owner of the Marketplace
The woman of the marketplace is also known for her abilities in the supplanting of power. Just as the tornado can pick up a house and deposit it miles away Oya can take power away from one and give it to another

William and Martin placed their mats right on the ground in a wooded spot – they had only seen one leopard, three tarantulas and two snakes on the whole trip – Martin changed into clean clothes. They covered themslves with calico covers to rise before daybreak toresume thw final leg of their expedition to Abeokuta, where crowds would later gather and rejoice.

Martin rose, ate an orange, bathed from head to foot, walked out and breathed deeply the moist, cool morning air, had some coffee with cream and sweetener and off they went.

Delany and Johnson left again on October 30th for Abeokuta with its 100,000 people, and was met with great joy on November 5th. Princess Tinuba had already said she had more hope of a regeneration of Africa through Dr. Delany than ever before. She had promised to place the entire management of her extensive business – with her immediate household of about sixty persons, and constantly employing about three hundred and sixty persons bringing her palm-oil and ivory – in Dr. Delany’s hands, as much advantage was taken of her by foreigners.

For weeks, one meeting after another were held with cotton traders, missionaries, chiefs, Campbell and Delany, discussing improving a road to Lagos, reorganizing the schools, and fixing the printing press for the only local English newspaper. Building trust. Forging ties.

Delany himself was rejoiced speaking at the missionaries’ request and praying the Almighty for providence in the challenges ahead.

We would call it a memo of understanding today signed by Delany, Campbell, King Alake and the seven chiefs in his council, with strong supporters Samuel and Josiah Crowther, the sons of the future Bishop Crowther, witnessing.

The next day, it was formally ratified, saying Egba territory could be settled by persons of color with skills from America to improve the lands, if they followed rules of the Egba people

Dec 27 memo of understanding signed the next day ratified the next day
p. 35 Report

No sooner had Delany and Campbell left to tour the territory, than the virulently racist, first missionary to the area – Rev. Henry Townsend – wrote letters calling the agreement invalid, pressing Alake to rescind it, calling the project a "civilized heathenism.” Having African governing Africans, he railed, was not the will of God and sinfully excluded, he ranted, the sweet natures of white English missionaries and their dear old England – the land of Christianity, Commerce and Civilization.

But it was a new stage of his hatred directed at the most important supporter of the project, Rev. Samuel Crowther who would soon advance up the career ladder of missionaries, that ditched Townsend — and made him Bishop Crowther.

Delany and Campbell stayed with the good news message to take to England when they set sail —- for Liverpool to spell out this way to keep the textile mills humming with African cotton, even with a Civil War, and while advancing England’s colony in West Africa as a respected partner in making linens. Lecture halls were packed. Everyone wanted to know – especially Queen Victoria, who loathed slavery.

What happened over time was the Civil War did NOT prevent cottons from the South getting to England. being exchanged in English-controlled Barbados for Enfield rifles. There were holes in the federal blockade. Moreover, what became clear is the old tried-and-true business networks and collaborations – one all within Africa, of cotton growers, dyers, weavers and spinners – the other between England and the South – held the course.

I cannot describe all sensations I felt when I visited Kyoto for the first time in my life. That I have a special relationship with Japan, well, that’s no news. But Kyoto has this special energy, unbelievable and indescribable, that takes every visitor back in time to a distant past, and for many, a surreal past, as if we were displaced from the space-time continuum.

Kyoto was established in the 7th century in a land called Yamashiro-no-kuni by the Emperor Kammu. Strictly following the Chinese geomancy from the Tang Dinasty (you can see it in the city layout, the grid pattern and the disposition of squares and blocks), the feng shui guidelines and the natural protection offered by its surrounding mountains, Kyoto, formerly known as Heiankyō, was the second capital of Japan, preceded by Heijōkyō, Nara.

Strongly influenced by the Chinese culture, Buddhism, literature, music, dance, arts and laws, Kyoto experienced the Heian Period, considered by some as the apogee or epitome of nobility and court life. Known to this day as one of the largest centers of the high Japanese art, Kyoto is a city that still exudes grace, regardless of the district in which you are located.

If you want to get the best quality craft items or even meet other facets of Japanese cuisine, you definitely must go to Kyoto, a mandatory place to every visitor who lands on Japanese territory. About Japanese cuisine, well, I came to talk about a special place whose traditional shops are almost endless sources of ingredients not only for everyday life, but also for the best restaurants in town. Today I’ll talk about Kyoto’s Kitchen.

A few months ago I wrote an article about the gastronomic adventures of Jiro Taniguchi and Masayuki Kusumi in the amazing manga "Gourmet" (孤独のグルメ). As I wrote in that text, one of the best experiences you can have in Japan is to meet such a diverse and fantastically tasty cuisine, sometimes finding surprises in unexpected places that transcends that logic that “in Japan they only eat sushi, sashimi and Temaki”.

Again, for typical Japanese dishes, I’m talking about what you eat in the everyday life in the Land of the Rising Sun. No, not that stupidity to think that Japan was taken by temakis. Many of my friends are still surprised to learn that there are many more things than sushi and sashimi. One of the best places to understand, to feel, to smell and to taste this dimension of the Japanese daily life is going to the Nishiki Market or Nishiki Ichiba (錦市場), a magic place consisted by long and arrow blocks near the Teramachi Arcade (寺町通) and quite close to Pontochō (先斗町).

Its first traditional shops dates from the 14th century, becoming one of the most important fish suppliers of town. Nishiki Ichiba gradually turned into a big market, whose range of products includes not only food and ingredients for cooking, but also crafts, porcelain and other products for everyday life. Alongside the bric-a-brac shops, greengrocers, rice shops, fishmongers, pastry shops and ice cream parlors there are several restaurants serving typical food. At the end, the tour in Nishiki Ichiba can last for hours, filled with good food that is totally unknown to foreigners.
With its high ceilings and green, red and yellow glass tiles, Nishiki Ichiba is crowded with all kinds of people, all of them immersed in a world of infinite smells and tastes.

The first time I was in Nishiki Ichiba I was accompanied by the presence of great friends, one of them a resident of Kyoto in those times. Knowing every alley and city streets, she took us to one of the most impressive places of Kyoto, a market that fascinated me immediately. Come on, Japan is definitely not a place invaded by sushi-monsters, sashimi-zillas or temaki-robots.

It took years for me to return, this time paying attention to other details that go unnoticed that time. Initially being a profusion of signs for all the senses, now the Nishiki Ichiba was a very familiar place, whose tenants and Japanese buyers were all very kind, who did not hesitate to strike up a conversation with a stranger fascinated by Japanese culture. Despite being a tourist town, they showed enthusiasm in talking, in Japanese, to a japanologist researcher who felt back at home. For a short moment, everything seemed frozen in time. Or at least it seemed that time passed more slowly within that market. Worry less about sushi, temples, shrines and all that hightech mumbo jumbo and let be hooked by the stomach. Give it a try. I guarantee you it will be delicious.
