I heard this theory, about how the spirits of slaves are not at rest and that they’re embodied in the winds of hurricanes. This is supported by the fact that most hurricane winds start on the coast of West Africa, travel the same routes as slave ships and generally hit the southern states that held slaves in America.

Upon doing more research on this theory, I read a title so beautiful, it said: “Hurricanes; Beautiful, also, are the souls of my black sisters.” If nothing else, this theory reads as poetic but personally, I believe in anything that suggests my ancestors are wreaking havoc.
