This presentation from Michael Imhotep founder of “The African History Network” and host of “The African History Network Show” deals with the history of The National Anthem also known as The Star-Spangled Banner and its author, a White Slave Owner named Francis Scott Key who thought that African people were mentally inferior.  This history ties into events involving football star Colin Kaepernick’s protest against the oppression of African Americans and people of color by protesting the National Anthem.

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August of 1892 by a White Socialist, Baptist minsiter named Francis Bellamy.  Most people don’t know the history behind the pledge and its ties to the Civil War and Columbus Day.  Did you know that the words “under God” were not originally in the Pledge?  This presentation was recorded on Sept. 26th, 2017.  This is a Digital Download.  This presentation is also available on DVD.  The download link willl expire in 48 hours after purchase.
