America should not ban teaching this history this is incredible
I felt a pang of real discomfort when I heard him say "he owned my grandfather and he owned my father". Those words should never have to be spoken.
I am 24 years old…born in 1999. My grandfather’s grandparents were slaves. This was not that long ago! We will not forget!!
It was heartbreaking the most when he said they were treated “reasonably” and going on to describe a boy being whipped. 😭😭😭
This is why the history of slavery matters: “If we are going to understand freedom, then we should understand the people who were denied freedom.”
Imagine surviving brutal chattel slavery and then dealing with 100+ years of Jim Crow right after. . .
Appreciate them calling them enslaved Americans/ people instead of “slaves.” It always irked me when a human being’s description began and ended at “slave” as of that was all they were
Cried when I heard Celia’s voice. She sounds just like my great grandmother 😢
114 & she still has her memory 🧬💪🏽
My Great Grandmother was a Slave…Her husband was a free man. She lived to be about 114 yrs old. She use to babysit us as a child and would tell us the stories of her child hood when I was a Teenager. She refused to talk about slavery only would say it was “Very Pain Very Pain” (meaning a painful time)….she would cry. 😢😢
My great great grandfather was a slave and bought the land he worked on when became free in his later years, my great grandmother is alive and lived through all the Jim crow era, and my grandmother through the civil rights era, this history is still very recent
To hear a slave speaking about remembering the time when Abraham Lincoln was around . Just blew my mind. God bless all their soul.
Definitely not ancient history. Remember that Harriet Tubman walked the Earth at the same time as Abraham Lincoln
The worst about people who say things like “we need to move on” and “remembering this does no good for the future” is that those same people won’t tell racists to stop being racist lol.
His voice and speech patterns remind me of the elders in my family born in the 40s and 50s. I’m overwhelmed with emotion
To even think to record these interviews is amazing. That’s such a valuable resource!
I'm 66, my father born in 1923 was raised by his grandmother, Caroline Ross Walker of Charlotte NC who was born enslaved in the 1860s. Slavery was not long ago... ❤I'm calling her name this morning in gratitude and love!❤
They’ll label this network “woke” for discussing slavery as if it never happened 🤡😂😭
This hurts....
Great work the 10 Million Names project is doing. Our ancestors should be remembered and loved for their resiliency.
