Let the Ancestors Speak - Season 2 Ep 8 - In Celebration of Bricks, Bricklayers, Foundation Builders
In this episode of Let The Ancestors Speak, inspired by a piece of brick from Holly Springs, Mississippi that is in a bowl on Hardiman House’s Ancestral Altar, Dr. Hardiman talks about clay, brick making, and brick masters in African History by tracing its continuum from the Kemetic ntr Khnum who created humankind on a potter’s wheel, to the pyramid builders, to the enslaved master brickmakers of the 19thcentury and to finally to Nelson Davis, second husband of Harriett Tubman. She ends by reminding us to Ra-image bricks as not just social status objects but also as stories of longitude, evidence of mastery and Shout Outs to the unRa-cognized Ancestors that invented STEAM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics ) and to those claymakers and brick master who laid foundations for our hearts, triumphant spirit and divine protection.
