Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Created by the Department of the Interior in 1936, "In the Wake of the Buckaneers" is a wonderful travelogue about St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. It shows some of the geographic features of the Virgin Islands and makes geographic inferences concerning this area. The film includes many beautiful scenes including maidens in one-piece swimsuits and the "Drake Seat" -- a bench that looks out on Megan Bay. A 1930s review of this film mentioned that the "sequence involving the mixing of the swizzle (around 9 minutes) may be objectionable but on the whole the film prethe tourists' point of view" -- a reference to the fact that the film was made during the Prohibition era. There is a also a book by the same name as this film by A. Hyatt Verrill, who chartered the ship "Vigilant" for an extended trip "down islands" in early 1920's. The book is a colorful account of the many interesting places visited during this voyage. Saint Thomas is one of the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea and, together with St. John and Water Island, forms a county and constituent district of the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), an unincorporated territory of the United States. Located on the island is the territorial capital and port of Charlotte Amalie.The district has a land area of 31.24 square miles (80.9 km2). In 1917, St. Thomas was purchased (along with Saint John and Saint Croix) by the United States for $25 million in gold, as part of a defensive strategy to maintain control over the Caribbean and the Panama Canal during the First World War. The transfer occurred on March 31, 1917, behind Fort Christian before the barracks that now house the Legislature of the U.S Virgin Islands. The baccalaureate service for the transfer was held at the St. Thomas Reformed Church as it was identified as the American church in the Danish West Indies. Percival Wilson Sparks, a U.S. Naval officer, designed the flag that now represents the United States Virgin Islands. Sparks married a local U.S Virgin Island woman, Grace Joseph Sparks; when Sparks' superior, Rear Adm. Summer Ely Wetmore Kitelle, commissioned the design for the flag, P. W. Sparks asked his wife and her sister, Blanche Joseph (later Sasso), to sew the first flag. That flag was used until such time as a factory-produced flag could be acquired. The flag's inspiration came from the U.S. Presidential seal. Sparks decided to have the eagle facing the olive branches (which represented peace) rather than the arrows (which represented the three islands: St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John). (At the request of Emilie Rose Sparks Gray, a daughter of P.W. Sparks and Grace Sparks, so that the family would have clear and undeniable proof, this piece of history was entered into the Congressional Record in Washington, D.C., on April 30, 1986, by the congressional delegate, Ron de Lugo.) Every year Transfer Day is recognized as a holiday, to celebrate the acquisition of the islands by the United States in 1917. U.S. citizenship was granted to the residents in 1927. The U.S. Department of the Interior took over administrative duties in 1931. American forces were based on the island during the Second World War. In 1954, passage of the U.S. Virgin Islands Organic Act officially granted territorial status to the three islands, and allowed for the formation of a local senate with politics dominated by the American Republican and Democratic parties. Full home rule was achieved in 1970. We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting?

The ShakeRag neighborhood in Bowling Green, Kentucky was settled by former slaves, families and soldiers who fought for the Union Army during the Civil War. The district grew steadily as the home of the middle-class and professional African-American community in the early 20th century. The land was donated in 1802 for use as a public square for African American residents. Before the Highway 31 Bypass was built, State Street was part of Dixie Highway. In the days of segregation, the ShakeRag district became a safe refuge for black travelers. The Southern Queen Hotel served black customers who were denied service in white hotels. Today, walking tours of the district features the elaborate Victorian homes as well as the Arts and Crafts-style bungalows. You can see the site of the first public school for African Americans as well as the State Street Baptist Church, home of the city's oldest African-American congregation. The name "ShakeRag" is believed to refer to laundry day, when people would shake the laundry and hang it out to dry.
