Episode 32: Slave or Samurai? Yasuke:
Manage episode 484881127 series 3595379
It seems there is a lot of vitrol and hate towards anything showcasing black excellence now adays on social media. This includes figures from history.
Known as the black Samurai we do not know much about the man known simply as Yasuke. But there was nothing simple about him. The very sight of this man sent communities into a frenzy and people lost their lives trying to catch a glimpse of him.
But what he did next still shocks people to this day. After confirming this man had not bathed in a vat of ink, one of the most powerful rulers in feudal Japan took him under his wing.
And as sad I am that Chadwick Bosman will not be bringing his story to life, we should soon see his story play out on the big screen.
