""I am particularly curious of the many ways Africans brought to this continent resisted
    oppression and assimilation. For this reason I was really amazed to read the unknown
    and untaught history of the Gullah wars.  The study of Y. N. Kly and yourself represent a
    major step in the destruction of the myth which says that Africans were passive and
    accepted their slave conditions.  Together with the heroic three hundred years of
    resistance of the Palmaree Quilombo in the State of Alagoa, in Brazil, the Gullah Wars are
    historic facts which contribute to enhance the pride of all Africans.  There is more to know
    about the African resistance in the Americas..."
