Interesting video of a language, Tut, created by enslaved Africans to communicate in code... [View all]
among themselves without inslavers knowing what they were saying. I know a few things about Black history but this is new to me. There is of course Creole in Louisiana and Gullah in South Carolina that have survived but this one faded away. Here'a a link to the video and the full story. To get to the video you have to scroll down in the story. It's worth it.
