WE WERE NEVER SLAVES!
The astounding renunciation of African humanity — and how we can re-affirm it, re-imagine it, and build toward new ways of being free.
We Have Been Framed
With laser-like intensity, Adams incinerates our common conceptions of "slave" and "slavery." He reveals fable through the label — why and how, for at least 560 years, Africans in the Americas were called "slaves" but never were.
He decolonizes history, the humanities, and science — cracking the curse of damnatio memoriae, the effective erasure of African humanism. Imagine discovering African humanist cultures and civilizations going back 100,000 years — before "slavery!"
What sets this book apart is that Adams puts forward brain-based insights on how we get out of this mess — strategies to heal hidden wounds, transform victimization into agency, and parasitic privilege into compassion.
This landmark work helps get the language straight, and offers a radical road-map toward new ways of being free.

Join The Freedom Lab
The Freedom Lab advances the tradition of the "pit schools" and Freedom Schools of the 1960s — mobile liberation labs where captive Africans learned, organized, and developed resistance strategies together.
I created Freedom Lab so you don't have to feel like you are all alone in this. You are free to fly.
