ROMA (ITALPRESS) - I Caraibi rappresentano da sempre una delle mete più desiderate del turismo internazionale. Di questa vasta regione fa parte Anguilla, una delle perle di cui si conosce e si parla ancora poco. È un'isola riservata e non molto frequentata, e forse questo è il motivo per il quale tante celebrità decidono di trascorrerci le vacanze, generalmente in residenze di lusso.Seppur si trovi in area americana, l'isola di Anguilla è formalmente un territorio d'oltremare britannico, che segue anche le festività ricorrenti. La valuta locale è simile alla sterlina britannica, che si avvale del volto della regina Elisabetta e cambia soltanto nel nome: dollaro caraibico.Per gli amanti della fauna marina è consigliato fare un salto a Sandy Ground dove spesso è possibile avere degli incontri ravvicinati con le tartarughe.Tra le specialità culinarie del posto vanno sicuramente menzionate la Johnny Cake, una focaccia di farina di mais cotta sulle ceneri o fritta in padella, e ovviamente le famosissime aragoste. Sempre in tema di gastronomia, nel cuore di Anguilla sventola alta la bandiera della cucina italiana: dal ristorante italo-giapponese Savi, gestito da tre soci italiani, alla cucina di Cip's del Belmond di Cap Juluca, che si avvale delle competenze di due ragazzi siciliani con esperienza nei più grandi hotel italiani.Emanuele Sabatini, executive chef di Zemi Beach House di Anguilla, ha parlato ai microfoni di Italpress dei principali aspetti del turismo dell'isola e delle abitudini culinarie dei visitatori.eb/mgg/gtr
Dreams of Black Wall Street (Formerly Black Wall Street 1921)
This season will focus on free Black communities and free Black societies during the antebellum period of the 19th century in New York, specifically New York City. They include one in each of what would become the five boroughs of New York City: Seneca Village in Manhattan; Weeksville in Brooklyn; Newtown in Queens, Sandy Ground in Staten Island; and the community surrounding the Centerville AME Church near Westchester, which was part of the present day borough of the Bronx. This deep dive into this time period will also include an analysis of free Blacks and people of African descent in Manhattan who, rather than living exclusively or predominantly Black neighborhoods, lived in enclaves. Finally, this season will also focus on the New York City Drraft Riots and Massacre of 1863. It is considered to be one of the worst insurrections in US History.

Originally from Dallas, she lives in and operates her gallery on the island of Anguilla in the Caribbean. When Lynne approaches a new project, she researches the word, the history; she analyzes the shapes, feels the color, contemplates the composition; she studies the concept, the palette, the technique; she then selects the materials and use them unorthodoxly, whether it be watercolor, which she may make thick and rich, or oil, which is applied in thick or thin layers on a vivid acrylic underpainting. This way she honors the subject and allows it to dictate the essence of the paintings.Lynne is available in her Sandy Ground, Anguilla gallery Wednesdays - Saturdays from 4m to 8pm. She can ship originals and editions.lynne@lynnebernbaum.comAnguilla: 264-497-5211US: 214-432-2319https://www.facebook.com/LynneBernbau...http://lynnebernbaum.com/To view the show Secrets of the Caribbean:https://vimeo.com/ondemand/secretsoft...#yachting #yachtcrew #yachtinginternationalradio #diversity #equality #timeforachange #humanrights #diversity #inclusion #culture #diversityandinclusion #pride #lgbtq #education #diversitymatters #unity #women #equity #leadership #representationmatters #peace #lgbt #disability #loveislove #nature #mentalhealth #gay #yachtinginternationalradio #diversity #diversityandinclusion

The history of black and African-American settlements and neighborhoods which once existed in New York City in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Today we sometimes define New York City's African-American identity by the places where thriving black culture developed -- Harlem, of course, and also Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant, neighborhoods that developed for groups of black residents in the 20th century. But by no means were these the first in New York City. Other centers of black and African-American life existed long before then. In many cases, they were obliterated by the growth of the city, sometimes built over without a single marker, without recognition. This is the story of a few of those places. From the 'land of the blacks' -- the home to New Amsterdam and British New York's early black population -- to Seneca Village, a haven for freed people of color in the early 19th century that was wiped away by the need for a city park. From Little Africa -- the Greenwich Village sector for the black working class in the mid 19th century -- to Sandy Ground, a rural escape in Staten Island with deep roots in the neighborhood today. And then there's Weeksville, Brooklyn, the visionary village built to bond a community and to develop a political foothold. In this collection of short historical stories, Greg welcomes Kamau Ware (of the Black Gotham Experience) and Tia Powell Harris (formerly of the Weeksville Heritage Center) to the show. The episode is a rebroadcast of a show which first aired on June 9, 2017. Stay tuned to the end of this show for some newly written material and an update on the Black Gotham Experience and the Weeksville Heritage Center. Visit our website for more images and information.

Lelia Marino of Ms. Rain's Conjure Shop has been a practitioner of root work and conjure for 20 years. Raised in Staten Island, New York, her paternal lineage has over 100 years of history on the Island with most of her family members buried in the historic Sandy Ground Cemetery located in the Rossville area. Sandy Ground is one of New York City's oldest African-American enclaves. One of the community's greatest assets was the Rossville AME Zion Church, founded in 1850. The Rossville AME Zion Church's most notable member was Reverend Thomas James, famed abolitionist and civil rights leader. It also, most famously, served as a stop on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. She is a Reiki Master with two bands of energetic healing and is certified in Crystal Therapy. Lelia is also initiated in the lineage of Palo Kimbisa. www.msrainsconjure.com
