The Hidden Story of Benkos Biohó

Nov 02, 2024 • 00:06:24

Bonus Episode


Dive into "The Hidden Story of Benkos Biohó: Africa's King Who Founded the First Free Town in the Americas."


Join us on the Black History Buff Podcast as we uncover the incredible journey of Benkos Biohó, an African king from the Bissagos Islands of present-day Guinea-Bissau. Captured and enslaved by Portuguese traders, Benkos's unwavering spirit led him to orchestrate daring escapes and ultimately establish San Basilio de Palenque—the first free African town in the Americas.


🌊 From Chains to Freedom: Learn how Benkos survived a harrowing shipwreck on the Magdalena River and used it as a springboard to fight for his freedom.


🏹 Defying an Empire: Discover how he built a fortified refuge in the dense marshlands, outsmarting Spanish colonial forces with an intricate intelligence network.


👑 Legacy of Resilience: Despite his eventual capture and execution, Benkos's legacy lives on. San Basilio de Palenque remains a vibrant community, preserving African traditions, language, and culture—a UNESCO-recognized symbol of resistance and freedom.


🔥 Don't miss this riveting episode that celebrates courage, leadership, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.
