Female Crew of Battaeu Saves History in Virginia - Greg McQuade's "I Have a Story" - WTVR (8/16/22)
Making waves and breaking barriers on the James River. In his latest “I Have a Story” Greg McQuade introduces us to the women who banded together to help carry on a watery tradition in Virginia.
Members of the Lady's Slipper were the first all-female batteau crew during the annual James River Batteau Festival more than 30 years ago. The flat-bottomed batteau powered by pole and sheer muscle carried tobacco and other goods during the 18th and 19th centuries. As transportation improved the batteau faded away. But the crew of the Lady's Slipper is helping preserve an important part of Virginia history.

"I Have a Story": The Man Behind the Minivan - Greg McQuade / WTVR (1/5/24)
I didn't realize that the Combat Zone was still pretty much intact by the mid to late 90s, as it was back in the 70s and 80s.
Greatest horse ever.. great team around him…legends only die when we do
I'll be thinking about people like this as long I live. What inspiration it gives me!❤
Who is the young lady we see at the very end?
Yeah that was odd
I hung out there from 70 till they shut it down lots of drugs hookers I would bring my swag jewelry exspencive rugs my fence would buy anything of value I pushed barbiturates yellow jackets secanol touenals qualuds what ever I’m 70 now and somehow survived much violence also .. great video.
Good God looks like ancient artifact movie…. My first bruins game 1972… age 6😥😥😥where did it go???
These long standing records place Secretariat as the greatest athlete of all time of any animal or man.
💔😪a wonderful horse.
Ridiculous that somebody had the foresight to do this in 1992. This was peak. I wish they had done this for Holyoke too, that would be crazy to see in this quality in 1992. I loved those staggered walls at Babbage's so much. To me that setup with the monitors up front was iconic and they ruined it when they changed to Gamestop
From the very beginning, it’s clear we are witnessing someone filled with compassion, empathy, and a deep desire for truth. Lynda's words, "It does my heart good to see this is so well cared for," resonate with warmth. Having been friends with Lynda for nearly a decade, I can personally attest to her relentless pursuit of truth. This short segment fills me with pride to call Lynda my friend. I sincerely hope that a new gravestone will be crafted so that Uriah can receive the honor and dignity he deserves from the USA. Thank you, Lynda, for bringing light to those who cannot speak.
Nowadays they wouldn't think of letting a kid ride one of those high dollar horses. Great story. One of my gran's favorite movies.
Not even close go to Ruidoso New Mexico to the All American Futurity
What’s pitiful is that John Tyler took the oath as President of the entire USA. Then, he served in the Confederacy Congress. I question his honor
Tyler was indeed one of our mediocre presidents (to quote "The Simpsons"), but his remaining family are quite interesting. Especially since he has a grandson who's currently still alive (and, sadly, won't be with us for long, as he's now 95 going on 96).
Craig Allen McPherson 10/21/1946 - 6/4/2024 I hope it was a smooth crossing.
Not yall not mentioning that he was very selfish. Most abolitionists were upset he went to the press with his story because they wanted to use his method to free others. Also he was given the opportunity to buy his wife and children and he refused! Then went to England to marry a white woman. Not a hero..
WOW!! I'm always amazed of our black history. It's ashamed most is not taught in schools.😢
Bless this child. He has been different since a little fellow. I remember at the baseball fields he was known as “Coach”. Instead of running and playing like the other little kids, he was leading workouts for the much older players and calling plays.
Nostalgia overload! Thanks for posting!
This is amazing!
Love this ❤️
You've had a life Wayne, well done!
Love this story!❤
Looking at Secretariat as a baby… you knew he was going to be great.
He was definitely a strapping foal/yearling.
I was visiting Claiborne Farm in 1973 shortly after "Big Red's" winning the Triple Crown. Penny Tweedy (at the time, became "Chenery") greeted me personally and asked if I would like to have a ride on Secretariat! No comment needed there, so skip ahead to me raising my left foot in reach of his saddle's stirrup when my dream was suddenly interrupted by, "Becky, get up! The alarm didn't go off!" True story. And I've yet to forgive the man who was my husband at the time.
Greetings@@howlongohlord8358! Your comment made me chuckle out loud. I am delighted to hear you enjoyed my story on Secretariat. I certainly enjoyed yours. 😃
So glad I stumbled upon your channel tonight. Love Big Red. He was a gift! I have to say also the El Camino was a cool looking car. The horse and car, two great rides.
Precious story
Thank you for spotlighting Mr. Mount (perfect name, eh?) and his connection to Secretariat. I know of Eddie Sweat and Charlie Davis, so it is nice to learn something of one of the other people who worked with him.
As an Englishman with a love of horses , and no disrespect to the legendary "Secretariat"... No where near the class of the best horse ever , During his distinguished career, Red Rum established himself as the greatest horse to compete in the Grand National. No competitor in the history of the most prestigious meeting in the sport triumphed more than the bay gelding. His total of three victories at the event are yet to be beaten in the 40 years since his retirement. Elite horses have attempted to match his accomplishment, but not a single one has managed to win twice. Red Rum stands alone in the history of the Grand National, arguably the toughest of all tests for a racehorse.
Just like no one has beaten Secretariat's triple crown records.
@@deathshock5072 I always give credit where it is due , Secretariat is the finest looking horse I have ever seen.. As a 68 year old, and bred over 4000 horses .. He was a beauty.. ❤
Red Rum was a jumper/steeplechase racer. He ran in completely different type of races. There is no comparison from flat racing and jump racing. Secretariat was not bred for hurdle race’ing… he was bred for flat racing.
Wonderful !! As a former pro equestrian , having worked w/ both race & show horses , this amazing story bro't tears of joy ! His fascinating story should reach more people , such as on CBS' " Sunday Morning " . 🏆💙
Blessed. ❤
What a great story! I feel very lucky to hear about his time spent with Secretariat, the greatest race horse in history!
No horse has ever come close to the records set by Secretariat.
Thank you for sharing!
Beautifully Orchestrated ❤❤❤❤❤
Jackson Ward has always been a very special part of Richmond. Hard to explain to outsiders. As a small boy I grew up in "The Ward", "roaming the streets" as we young boys use to do in the 1950s..... Our schools were Baker Elementary, Benjamin Graves Junior High and Maggie L Walker. Some of our braver teachers talked about Mr. Mitchell: said he was a teacher and a brave militant man. They talked about his newspaper . We also heard of Marcus Gravey, W. E. B. Dubois and the great Paul Robeson. In those days the teachers use to put pictures of famous people above the blackboard-people we were expected to know. I even vaguely recall Mrs. Ida B. Well's picture. We also learned about Maggie Lena Walker at a very early age. So segregated schools were not all bad. All of our teachers were of African descent except for one German Jewish man who taught German. John Mitchell was a strong brother. No doubt about that!!
A bit a slap on the face is it. We save the white mans battle fields but not the colour troops. Thank you.
The fact that his story was made into a movie just is something different..
Mr Alvin lived a life most horse racing fan dream about thank u for sharing ur very special memories Mr Alvin
What a good man, that horse knew he was being taken care of and loved
This was the fenway park of arenas that they let slip away.
Great things come out of Virginia, what can i say. Once in a lifetime horse.
What a new fond respect for my ancestors! Wow such a beautiful and heart tugging story ! I am truly so proud of my people and all that they done to get us where we are an even more proud to be an African American 💯😌👏🏽💕
My Lord Jesus Christ rode on a donkey entering Jerusalem. When He returns again he’ll be riding Big Red I reckon.
I miss the old Garden.
The Obstruction was absolutely terrible though lol
I was 19 back in '73 when Big Red left us all speechless. I watched the Kentucky Derby in California, the Preakness in West Germany, and the Belmont in Okinawa..three races, three continent. Thank you, United States Army..that was one of the highlight of my well-being//
DA FK U MEAN HE DID NOT CHOOSE VIOLENCE???? REPARATIONS 4MY BLACK PPL NOW!!! FOH
Interesting indeed...
I was born in 1874.
I agree
I believe
Radio Shack @21:47 Did I misse the Dream Machine or wasnt it open in 1992? And Babbages became Gamestop a few years later.
A wonderful video, .great he interacted with the girl in J. Riggins!! The Carousel at the end is the cherry on top!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
RIP heroes!
