Thank you for having me on your platform… Great conversation 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Excellent job bro, Im born and raised in Danville and never seen it from this viewpoint. Salute 🫡 to you sir

The Ebenezer Church... was that in SC?

My first home was a Shotgun House, in Vallejo, California 🔥

Thank you for an excellent recap of my hometown. You did such an awesome job i had to share it.

Shout out to the beautiful people of Pottstown. Durham loves you!!

What an important piece of genealogy work. It means more when we look at the world around our ancestors and their personal experiences then we can start to understand a little of what they experienced and where that impacts even us today. Thank you!

Good.

There’s a school in my community named after him.

Fellow Capricorn 😂...

Well put, thanks for sharing..

Thank you. And here we are in 2025 and some of us claiming we never came from Africa. We're not Black, we're 'indigenous' to this land. We were NEVER Africans. Smh. Yea ok. I RESPECT my African ancestors for their bravery and sacrifice. Let them not be forgotten by US. Thank you for this video, and let this be the year that each African being do SOME research into their family tree on both the maternal and paternal side. I'm sure we will find a common BLACK cord.

They want us to forget!

This was a beautiful interview I don’t know anything about NC my husband is from Charlotte

Wonder where his pops came from before he was a slave!? That’s the real question

Sending love from Charleston,SC #Gullah #Geechee 💚💙💛🖤

Old Testament talks about the first humans were Black people and slave slavery before any other race was here. So how did white man start slavery if he never existed yet? Can you please explain this to me?

Did you know❓ ✨Jack Johnson was born to enslaved parents. ✨ He dropped out of school and started working to supplement income for his family. ✨ His nickname was the “Galveston Giant.” ✨ He passed in a car wreck in Franklinton, North Carolina (1946) #history #todayinhistory #historybeforeus #boxing #boxinghistory #trailblazers #historymaker #historylovers #historyreel #historymatters #blackhistorymonth #historyiscool

Many don't know that there are people living today whose grandparent's were slaves, and some first and second generations from slavery. These lived through jim crow

I Don know how to feel about this..I'd have so much animosity but up from him just reaching out to what my family has become..all I'd feel was setup!

i wonder if they are related

But instead of focusing on our common oppressor Tariq and his FBA cult just continue lower the bar for melanated people… FYI “Black” is a Caucasian construct not a singular pre colonial group of people

amazing 😢❤healing as god commands.🙏🏽

My grandfather's grandfather was a slave in 1860. The stories from then are still very much alive in my family.

Oh my! Mrs. Delaine! I often wondered what happened to her. I was one of her students at TAPS. She was never judgmental towards us despite our situations. Always down to earth and imparting wisdom into us. Glad to see that she is doing well and looking good!❤

“Same spelling “ vs. “Same name”

😮Ms. Delaine!!! OMG it's so good to see you! I'm Angela, one of your former students. I know you remember the Heath family.

I live in Clarksville, VA and am always happy to see George Sizemore around town. He’s a sweetheart in a big body…kind of reminds me of Shaq. His smile is genuine.

Cant judge the past feom the future. At that time EVERYONE HAD SLAVES! Including free black citizens. The Ugandan kings sold their people into slavery because rhats what you did at that time. They had no global mentality and slavery was (still is) commonplace in Africa and around the world. Oh, BUT VICTIMHOOD ENGENDERS PRIVILEGE.

One of the individuals (here) is beaming with "family" pride!

It's sad how danville has become. Hopefully good jobs will come back someday.

You can tell his dad finessed his way through slavery. The last image says it all. His dad looked like he was a upstanding man and was the light of the room. Highly approachable

Im still a slave

The opening statement about your great, great, great, etc. caught my attention right away. I'm 74, and my grandfather was born in 1856, before the Civil War. He was 62 when my father was born, and my father was 33 when I was born.

I am glad you can smile, you have a beautiful smile, Mr. Sizemore.

George of All Sizemore that is Cherokee patriarch of a huge family.

So his daddy was still making babies in his 70s and his mother had him as late in her reproductive life as sahe possibly could have. His dad was 73yrs old when he passed, so he must've been a newborn infant or at the very least a toddler when his dad passed at 73yrs old in 1931 . His mother could've been in her mid to late 50s when she was surprised by a later life pregnancy that produced him. My paternal grandmother was born in 1930, and she's still in the land of the live. Her great grandmother was the last formerly enslaved person in our family, she was the product of a Native American/African American union..

I wonder what year the last plantation held enslaved people? I know it didn’t all end in 1895. There were plantations that refused to let the people go, for a long time after that.

Stop letting these folks tell your family story.

Many slaves were just past down by relatives and were treated like family; some were even pensioned by their Masters. This is what I see as The South as a mix of cultures that influenced each other.

What a heartfelt story ❤️.

My Great grandfather was. He was 13 years old . He was released in 1865. Then he worked on the Rail Road until he got married to a Native American and had my Grandfather. That was in 1903.

His father wasn't a slave. His father was ENSLAVED.

im 29 and my great great grandmother was born a slave in Bamburg South Carolina. she died young (hit by car) but my family is known to live until their 100's. my great grandmother and grandmother were sharecroppers until my grandma moved to NYC. my parents were old when they had me. but yea slavery wasn't a long long time ago. Editing to add more context. she was in her late 50's when she died. She was born the year slavery ended. she was BORN a slave didn't die one.

Stop calling him Uncle George. He is not your uncle! Call him Mr. Sizemore or Mr. George!

I love this story!!!!!!! I wish I could find my white family.

In my (Dine'h) people's culture, 102 yrs is a complete passing of a generation. My oldest aunt on my dad's side of the family is the last monolingual speaker from both sides of my family.

Was Daniel Sizemore a Cherokee Indian?

Millions of peoples relatives were and still are slaves…and they aren’t black. But it’s who whines the loudest nowadays

What year was this filmed/videoD? ( only posted 3 days ago, but seems much older /a bit “ grainy .” Pre- ancestry tests? ) So glad to have come across it, but so many more questions. . .
