There were some people who refused to leave the plantations with Harriet Tubman and others. They asked, "..where are we going? What do we eat?  Don't you know I am Abyssinian; people who choose the abyss?"  When the ancestors of the people who chose freedom moved back to the states in the 1920's the Abyssinians mugged them and said, "..give me your Nikes and your Cab Calloway vinyls...you got an uppity feeling; damn you!   Do you think everything is about Tuskegee and Shakespeare?   Who do you think you are trying to be?   Damn you!"
