A people without a story do not exist as a people, and most of us do not know our story. We do not even truly know how we got from our motherland to this place. So, to correct this, we must ask the hard and painful questions that lead to those answers so we will know our story and, in turn, come to fully know ourselves, since we are the culmination of all Afrikans who came before us.
Therefore, our questions must always lead us home. For, how can you find your way home by forgetting your way home? How can you find your way home by forgetting how you got to where you are now. How can you find your way home without figuring out how you got lost in the first place. Unless you see home as some backward, barbaric, pagan outland or limit it to the place your stolen ancestors were brought to, you must look further than the deception of white lies to find our truth.
We must move "backward" into this knowing to gain remembrance. That movement homeward begins as we walk with our ancestors as they crossed the tempestuous waters that separate this place from home. That movement is what this book is all about. It takes us through the Middle Passage through the eyes of our ancestors.
