“...And that mean they Down”

The only “uncirculated” Manillas, meaning ones to the best of my knowledge that have not been traded for slaves, I’ve been able to find are those pulled from the Slave Ship Douro. The wreck sits about 30 meters below the surface off the isle of Scilly in the UK. It sank in 1843. Its crew and cargo of trade goods & manillas never made it to Africa to trade. I like to think that the water baptized and purified the Douro Manillas and reset their original purpose to one of freedom as opposed to captivity. I had one of the Douro Manillas in my collection cleaned and molded and created new ones off of that mold. At a couple of my shows I lead a “secret service” on stage for the Diaspora that were in the crowd. They know what happened ??...however it involved buying back ones past with the original Manilla then buying ones future with the newly minted Manilla. I like to think of it as OUR Diasporian crucifix. An instrument originally used for inflicting pain and suffering reframed to inspire hope and glory just by its presence. Reminding one of the pain but also the power. From limitation to liberation. ?
