Even though Ibo Landing in Georgia and historical pieces of evidence in Virginia during the slave era are the strongest pointers to Igbo presence in the U.S , Ndigbo decidedly turned their backs on U.K after the Biafran Civil War . Both Sir Francis Ibiam and Dick Tiger renounced their royal knighthood and burnt their British passports in resentment. Soon afterwards , UmuIgbo turned back to the Americas and in droves and began mingling with African-Americans . Between then and now, they began to notice Igbo bear a lot of resemblances to them , not just in looks but resistance or stubbornness . Both attributes gave birth to the Civil Rights Movements led by MLK, Jr. Since then a lot of exchanges have been happening including marital ties and now the Igbo Village in Virginia and the visit of African-Americans to Igboland not too long for ritual shedding of the garb of slavery into the status of freeborn . Just last week, ceremonial funeral for all Igbo who died since Slavery to Civil War were laid to rest in Igboland with cenotaphs in an epic solemn ceremony led Gov Willie Obiano. So, just wait and see ... Ndigbo are coming ! Then , more African-Americans will , in the prediction of MLK, walk hand in hand to Igbo land to reclaim their cultural heritage by way of initiation into Igbo Cults ( Iba Mmanwu) and Fraternities ( Ichi Ozo, Iyom ) that truly make them freeborn of our land . Above all , they will also join in reclaiming their Hebrew roots like Ben Ami and Chima Onyeulo in Israel . Isee o o !
