I can relate to this story so much. I was blessed to receive my great grandmothers Bible who was born in 1878. My family is from Alabama and I remember leaving home going to NYC and my grandmother told me to go make a life for myself. I did just that, and during my darkest and hardest trials I would hold my great grandmothers Bible and ask for her strength. I’m so thankful for my ancestors and their strength, courage and resilience. ❤
Queen is my great great grandmothers from mobile Alabama 1835-1890s THAT ERA... Half native, black and Irish with red hair, olive skin and freckles. I can only imagine what her life was like as a young beautiful pale skinned mixed race RED HEAD woman leaving Alabama and finding her way to Savannah Georgia by 1912. It's amazing ✊🏾🥰🏆
This was outstanding. Alex Haley is amazing. It blows my mind to think that Queen is based on the life of his paternal grandmother, Queen Haley. Queen Haley was born around 1857 and lived until 1941.
But the craziest thing is the federal government paid the slave owners compensation for loss of property after the slaves were free but the people who were freed wasn’t compensated
'..From Denmark..A powerful and strong story. A big guy 56 years old is left with tears in his eyes and will remember everyone, their suffering, pain and fighting for liberty and dignity..God bless them all ❤
This comment means a lot to me that's you cared enough to learn about some of the struggles of Black Americans. Thank you so much. Also, Denmark is my favorite country. 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇩🇰
Well, you are a realist, but this is why we have to fight for our rights, people of color and yes, you are a person of color too, this will continue if we do not speak up.

@@deniaridleylol our government is pretending people still aren't dying from an active pandemic while covid induced pneumonia rips through the population People are delusional not just traumatized. They refuse to face reality now because they'll crack if they do.
This show really gave insight to how the "strong black Independent woman" persona was born here in America.. from hurt pain and trauma. Mainly from outside but also from our own people
When psychology and psychiatry were such undeveloped fields of medicine. Those mental facility scenes are horrific. Queen’s body and psyche kept score of all her years of trauma. And when she caught fire, that was enough for all the trauma to surface. The fact that she could articulate that she was not mad and that she could ask her employee for a loan so that Abner could find his way in the world, was enough evidence that she was of sound mind.
Wow 👌 😮I watchd all 3 episodes. Haley us a brilliant writer. Tru stories r the best. Didn't realize that writer was actually part of that actual family. Halle is one of my faves. She was perfect for that role because she could relate to much. Poignant story and everyone's portrayals wer so convincing. ❤
He was sued for plagiarism by a white man that wrote a book called THE AFRICAN... and he lost and had to pay. Look it up. So he might not have been as good as you think. Plus... this series was done AFTER he died
@@apriljohnson7447 He didn't lose, he SETTLED, admitting that at least 3 passages from his book came from that book. The author of _The African,_ meanwhile alleged that at least 80 passages were taken from his book that was SOLELY based on 'African FOLKLORE'.
@@apriljohnson7447just like when the slave owners said they were going to war to keep what belongs to them!? Or the dragon ladies who almost got away with separating queen from her baby!? I will believe Alex's questionable @ss over some random yt man's
Best of Alex Haley. I met him while the country was watching Roots when I worked at ABC TV Network. What a wonderful, humble man. I really loved this story.
I am not surprised the amount of black women in the unmentally well institute. They experienced alot of trauma. It's heartbreaking. Most needed therapy. Notice how Queen poured her heart out to her husband after building up so much trauma. No one made her a home. She had no where to run to. I wonder what happened to her father's wife who got pregnant again. What happened to her child? I put my hat down to and remember all black women and men that were killed, brutally hurt, raped and traumatised during that time.
Fun fact Madge Sinclair who played the maid trying to get Queen and Danny Glover together also played Kunta Kintes wife bell in roots ...it was a nice way to tie both the series together
Let that also be a lesson to anywomen or men who still do what was known as "days work." People worked 5 days a week for the yes and were paid less than minimum wage with no benefits. Some worked for generations, with no retirement benefits. Dont do it people. At keast work where a company pays at least mini.the wage and benefits. Otherwise you will be working under slave-like conditions.
Halle Berry’s performance brings a lot of emotion and depth to the character of Queen Jackson. Her powerful and convincing acting keeps me engaged. Her outstanding performance adds a strong impact to the story. Thank you very much for sharing this.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING ALL THREE PARTS ALL THE WAY FROM BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA 12-20-2024 9:45 PM FRIDAY NIGHT 😊😊 😊 MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THAT READS THIS ❤️❤️❤️
This story so relates to the coloured people in South Africa..most coloured people are of so many different peoples, In my family's gatherings we are every colour of skin hue, eyes ,hair eyes and hair.
Exactly! Did you see part two where the black lady threw food to Queen like she was a damn dog?!! I personally believe it’s 1000 times worse for her black folks to treat her like that and I don’t care what anyone says because it’s facts!!!
@@jms5752 ru insane? did u see the part where the white man beat her and r*ped her simply because she was Black? Or how about the whole first half of the movie where her and others were treated inferior and enslaved because they were Black? The Black person treated her like that because she thought she was white! Did you also notice how it was Black people who accepted her, took care of her, fed her and clothed her AFTER she was thrown away by white society? You literally skipped over all of that to focus on that one part and that's exactly how delusional society works.
I just saw the 3 parts today, In the morning I saw a short on IG, with the scene of little girl Queen being bullied, and of course I read the comments, I am glad that I decided to research more information before any comment and I am glad I could watch this amazing work with such as strong and deep story. It changed completely my perspective.
Her catching on fire along with her husband saying Abner can leave triggered her. She probably went right back to that place where she found abner and his dad....and she just snapped. She never wanted Abner to leave ....it probably felt like someone "taking from her" like they took his dad.
True, but I think it's also because: she didn't want him to encounter trauma like SHE did, when she struck out on her own at his age! It makes me think about my own traumas too - when I went out into the world on my own for the first time. You never forget them. The scars remain.
It still makes my blood boil when I see any movie or picture of a lynching . Her child's father we willing to die for what he believed in . And it was the fear of whites feeling he was gaining too much power that got him killed it's just sad. That's why so many of us right now from to just get along even when we are mistreated just to keep the peace. From that embedded fear from way back when . Just sad
@@saraswatkin9226 Hitler did get the ideal from America, the only thing he despised about the culture was the very reason Queen existed. Race Mixing!!!!!
This was a beautiful 3-part series with the outlook that many of us will never have to live through ever. A history that should be taught in grade school or junior high for obvious reason. Just to show how easy they have it now. Thank You Alex Haley for sharing with all of us
Yes indeed! They are trying to remove this part of history from the school curriculum which is just not cool. We have to make sure the younger generation understand how we got here as a people ❤️
I watched all 3 parts. Thank you so much for uploading this for all of us to watch and rewatch. It was my first time seeing it and I was born 1985. Brilliant miniseries. Salute to all my ancestors
This was filled with all the stuff that kept me watching to the end. Excellent acting to all of the actors. To the main characters you all deserved an award especially Queen.
@@Jah_Piscesyep. Just Google it. Or look up the property listed on the forks of cypress plantation in Alabama. They also talked about the plantation on RUclips.
I love this film and Roots. That man Alex Hailey truly is a gifted writer. How lucky he was to be able to trace his family roots so fair. Which was great considering the times his ancestors lived. If you haven't seen Roots, if highly recommended it. Its the other side of his family. 👌🏻🙌🏻💚🇨🇮
@@5551133it was made into a series in the 70s I believe and they have a remake as well. I like modern stuff so I prefer the 2016 version. But they’re both incredible
These movies show us who the real biblical Israelites are Deuteronomy 28:68 we are not niggas we are not Africans we are the lost tribes of Israel all praises to TMH In the biblical Christ name revelation 1:14
@@5551133 it’s a TV miniseries, originally made in the 1970s - followed by another miniseries called Roots: the Next Generations. I want to say it’s 15 or 16 parts between the two And then they remade it in 2016 - I think 4 1.5-hour episodes. Both are excellent!
It’s been a while since I’ve cried watching a movie… But I can count at least four times with this one. Wonderful story of a true heroine who never gave up, and loved extraordinarily.
Oh my dear, not to the extent that those people had to. Who do you know that's been lynched lately? Black people are more American than most Americans and do wonderous things in the modern world.
Thank you for uploading this series. I remember watching Queen when I was younger. This was my mother's favorite movie. Halle Berry deserved more awards for her powerful performance as Queen! However, Halle did win a NAACP image award for Outstanding Best Actress in a mini series or movie for her role as Queen. Fun Fact: The real Queen lived to be 100 years old.
Brilliant series!!.. Kept me glued to the screen!!..Well done to all the actors!!..A big thank you to Alex Haley for the story!!.. Kevin.. P.S. Going to watch 'Roots" again!!.. 🙂
Can we talk about how queen actually was the problem?? She always never listened when blck folk tried to warn her about how wight folks was back then and she never listened, she always jumped straight to trusting her oppressor and got burnt Everytime. It's a shame how she was treated, but a lot of the times she had a superiority complex herself and felt she was above blck ppl as well, until her wight side humbled her Everytime... This series gives me mixed emotions. I feel sad, angry, happy, and appreciative all at the same time its a shame what she had to go through, but majority of it could have been avoided had she just listened!!!
This was the comment I was looking for! 100% agree. This is super sad, but she was navigating like she had no brain. She asked for a baby and then got mad that she was a single mom when the man who impregnated her was no good (she DIDN'T even know him) and even told her not to bring a baby into the world. I didn't care for him either and the moment she spent a night with him and forgave him I was thinking girl, PLEASE don't get pregnant again because that would be beyond stupid. (Was nobody pulling out back then? because HER mother shouldn't have gotten pregnant either.) I would have been terrified to bring a baby into that environment. That mixed lady in town tried to help her, and she would have been fine if she had listened. (She wanted to go north and open up a flower shop when that lady got her a job to work in a flower shop. How dense can you be? As bad as her life was, if she had been dark skin, it would've been way worse. God gives second chances, hence why she found her husband, so thank goodness for that, but I feel many different ways about this film. I'm not entirely blaming her, but there were so many times I was like girl, LISTEN! You are leading yourself straight into the fire. God bless.
Imagine if all of our ancestors would have "just listened" smh.. We needed those who didn't listen.. We needed those who didn't give up their seats.. We needed those who matched when they were told to go home and lay down.. That just listening would have us still enslaved!! Queen was extra sassy but the woman went through he!! and then some..
@@hr6188 I'm not talking about EVERY slave or ancestor. This movie is about Queen's life. I'm mainly referring to how she became a single mom and the hardships she had to endure. A lot of what SHE went through could have been avoided. She wasn't sassy because she wanted to be. Even now I have family members going through things that could have been avoided if they had just listened. Even in 2024, there are way too many black single moms with no help going through things that could have been avoided if they had just listened or used a ounce of discernment. It's good to go against the grain sometimes but you can't walk around like a ticking time bomb. You can't walk around like you know everything and have all the answers. You have to be wise enough to know when to be sassy and when to relax and be a student of life. That's the only reason I watched this and other things like this because I want to better understand and learn from others. I also said I didn't think everything was entirely her fault. I understand a lot of things were happening to her. I just thank god that I listened to warnings and the wise women in my life because I had I not... smh. Some people who go through hell lead themselves straight into the fire.
Queen: Half white, 1/4 Cherokee, 1/4 Black, educated in a white household (house N word, quadroon back then), and pretty to look at. Imagine how hard it was for an average looking 100% black former unfree person without the ability to read or write (education). I'm glad to be living in a time where all people are free and have the right to an education as far as it can take them to become successful.
@@PrettynBetween < but they gave her one , with that movie , ( I forgot the name ) the fat boy was her son , die ... love her in the movie BullWorth to...
Great movie. Wonderful story of Black love. I hope I can write a story like this one day. Alex Haley was brilliant at telling his ancestors' story. I'll definitely watch your documentary. Thx for sharing!
This is a great series. I can't help but to notice and feel sad for how far back it goes to show how families have been broken up for so long. All the way back to Queens grandmother that was sold away to her sons father who left.
I can not say how many times I have watched this series. My heart breaks for all those who suffered in the past. Ingnorance was so evident. Those whom ever took part in any of these actions, I know they have answered to God. But WHY must we continue to suffer because of the actions of others? It hurts me to so much. I am a 56 yr old 'white' woman. Recently a DNA test was done. Results were of no surprise to me. Believe you me, if half these people did an Ansetry backgound they would deny the results to the grave. I am proud of my heritage Im enjoying researching my heritage. White/Black ..... who cares! I am a child of God. I am truly sorry for for all the lives lost. The trauma they endured. But sadly people in this day and time still want to punish others. Its History. We cant change what was done on the past but We can move forward and create a better FUTURE. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!💕🙏🙏💕
Her life experiences stressed the he'll outta her. Trying 2 fit in and trying 2 be fully accepted and love that was all she truly wanted. All she got was pure hell!!!😮😮😮😮
Stop lying u could never go with what the ancestors went through to compare it is an insult and a lie . They went through it all its no measurement and if it does happen it's probly one day they dealt with it everyday. They was addressed as the nword to a word people dance to today it sad and sick
Thank goodness for improved mental health care, (notice I did not say great!) Queen had a panic attack and ended up in the asylum where so many other women ended up in that day.
I am so glad to see this 3parts movie! Thank you for loanding this amazing story for us. I was strong impressed by the characters and the story also. Very Good performance of Halle’s. 🥰
"Queen" was an underrated series because of the scandal about Roots and they wanted to cancel Hailey because Roots was not his personal story but it is still a masterpiece of literature and deserves to be taught just like any other classic. I would not like a remake of Queen though because also the actors have not yet gained enough recognition ( The white ones are great as well - I truly hated each and everyone of their characters 😃)
Wonderful. I know that Alex Haley didn't get to live to finish this book. But someone took up his notes and finished it for him. When you try and put yourself in Queen's shoes, it makes you wonder how she managed to cope with all that she had been through.
Only reason they try to go back is because they losing the world to blacks and to control again this is what the got planned I hope God take me home b4i c it amen
Ain't nobody more enslaved than those who have the illusion of freedom. We are ALL in bondage now. Voting for the chains of your oppressor is just like choosing one side of the same worthless coin. Wake up to the reality, it's high time all Americans did.
This was so incredibly beautiful. I am moved to tears and wow Alex Haley did an outstanding job as a writer. Thank you for showing us a piece of your history, so that the world may learn. ❤️🙏🏽
I highly doubt they mean by bringing back slavery. There many black Trump supporters. Kamala has gotten many young black men incarcerated and some where even executed for crimes they didn't do. So please do your research and not what the media put out to brainwash people like you.
Brilliant movie! I watched them all. You can’t stop watching them. I’m glad to be apart of these real life stories. We are all connected to each other in this world. It’s all our stories that make up this life we live on earth . ❤❤❤

“I don’t believe “n…” have souls.” How absolutely wicked. May anyone who has ever said that and have not been repentant have their day of reckoning on the day of judgement. All of humanity has been created in the image of God and we cannot defile the image of another. The same wickedness that was perpetrated on humanity then is still being perpetrated. It’s just taking a very different form.

This was filled with all the stuff that kept me watching to the end. Excellent acting to all of the actors. To the main characters you all deserved an award especially Queen.
The plantation that queen lived on when she was young, The Forks of Cypress is located here in northwest Alabama. Not far from where i live
Interesting ❤️
Would love more information are her parents buried there?
@@Jah_Piscesyep. Just Google it. Or look up the property listed on the forks of cypress plantation in Alabama. They also talked about the plantation on RUclips.

I love this film and Roots. That man Alex Hailey truly is a gifted writer. How lucky he was to be able to trace his family roots so fair. Which was great considering the times his ancestors lived. If you haven't seen Roots, if highly recommended it. Its the other side of his family. 👌🏻🙌🏻💚🇨🇮
Is Roots a movie or a series? I’ve been hearing about it in comments
@@5551133 roots is a series, try to get to see it. It's years old. I hope you get to see it. If you liked Queenie you will love roots. 🙌🏻💚🇮🇪
@@5551133it was made into a series in the 70s I believe and they have a remake as well. I like modern stuff so I prefer the 2016 version. But they’re both incredible
These movies show us who the real biblical Israelites are Deuteronomy 28:68 we are not niggas we are not Africans we are the lost tribes of Israel all praises to TMH In the biblical Christ name revelation 1:14
@@5551133 it’s a TV miniseries, originally made in the 1970s - followed by another miniseries called Roots: the Next Generations. I want to say it’s 15 or 16 parts between the two
And then they remade it in 2016 - I think 4 1.5-hour episodes.
Both are excellent!
It’s been a while since I’ve cried watching a movie… But I can count at least four times with this one. Wonderful story of a
true heroine who never gave up, and loved extraordinarily.
I agree. And it's such an authentic story - it's a true story, and one that resonates for so many reasons.
All the actors brought life and soul to this brilliant masterpiece. Even though it was very hard to watch at times, it left me in tears.
They truly did❤️ definitely a classic ❤️
Black trauma from generational trauma. PTSD. Depression.
I want to say Thank you 😊 for posting these amazing serie . I like this story very much 😊 . Greatings from Sweden Gothenburg 🤗🇸🇪
Of course ❤️☺️
Excellent series. I haven't seen that one before. I missed it somehow. Thanks for loading this for us. Greetings from Canada!
Yes of course ☺️❤️
Those 3 episodes sure went by fast! I forgot what a great movie this is.
Yes very good❤️
Breaks my heart so many familes only got the sad parts of this story.... and there are still people who think this way....
I can only imagine the mental and physical abuse Black people had to put up with and still have to put it wit
Oh my dear, not to the extent that those people had to. Who do you know that's been lynched lately? Black people are more American than most Americans and do wonderous things in the modern world.
It's all history about ancestors
Thank you for uploading this series. I remember watching Queen when I was younger. This was my mother's favorite movie. Halle Berry deserved more awards for her powerful performance as Queen! However, Halle did win a NAACP image award for Outstanding Best Actress in a mini series or movie for her role as Queen. Fun Fact: The real Queen lived to be 100 years old.
Interesting ❤️ I loved this movie growing up as well☺️ and yes Halle did her thang for real!
I read that the real Queen lived to be 83. It's on the internet and pictures of her grave with her born and death date don't equate to 100.
This is the most Beautiful Halle Berry movie, I have ever watched. So touching in every way...
Such a great story indeed!! How much did the black nation suffer . Unimaginable!
Thanks a lot and Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭.
Of course❤️☺️ and welcome 🤗
Thank you for posting these. I've seen this years ago but when it popped up on YT, I knew I had to see it all again.
Of course ☺️❤️
Wow what a miniseries. Thank you for uploading it.
Brilliant series!!.. Kept me glued to the screen!!..Well done to all the actors!!..A big thank you to Alex Haley for the story!!.. Kevin..
P.S. Going to watch 'Roots" again!!.. 🙂
Even thou the story Roots were vey good. I never could watch it again…
Super emotional. Beautiful portrait of a brutal life ,perseverance and strength
It was a beautiful movie. All the main actors are great actors. ❤
I just loved Mr. Cherry!!
Thanks for uploading these .
Of course ❤️
Can we talk about how queen actually was the problem?? She always never listened when blck folk tried to warn her about how wight folks was back then and she never listened, she always jumped straight to trusting her oppressor and got burnt Everytime. It's a shame how she was treated, but a lot of the times she had a superiority complex herself and felt she was above blck ppl as well, until her wight side humbled her Everytime... This series gives me mixed emotions. I feel sad, angry, happy, and appreciative all at the same time its a shame what she had to go through, but majority of it could have been avoided had she just listened!!!
truth. but she learned
Hell that's truth for everyone even today but true nonetheless.
This was the comment I was looking for! 100% agree. This is super sad, but she was navigating like she had no brain. She asked for a baby and then got mad that she was a single mom when the man who impregnated her was no good (she DIDN'T even know him) and even told her not to bring a baby into the world. I didn't care for him either and the moment she spent a night with him and forgave him I was thinking girl, PLEASE don't get pregnant again because that would be beyond stupid. (Was nobody pulling out back then? because HER mother shouldn't have gotten pregnant either.) I would have been terrified to bring a baby into that environment. That mixed lady in town tried to help her, and she would have been fine if she had listened. (She wanted to go north and open up a flower shop when that lady got her a job to work in a flower shop. How dense can you be? As bad as her life was, if she had been dark skin, it would've been way worse. God gives second chances, hence why she found her husband, so thank goodness for that, but I feel many different ways about this film. I'm not entirely blaming her, but there were so many times I was like girl, LISTEN! You are leading yourself straight into the fire. God bless.
Imagine if all of our ancestors would have "just listened" smh.. We needed those who didn't listen.. We needed those who didn't give up their seats.. We needed those who matched when they were told to go home and lay down..
That just listening would have us still enslaved!! Queen was extra sassy but the woman went through he!! and then some..
@@hr6188 I'm not talking about EVERY slave or ancestor. This movie is about Queen's life. I'm mainly referring to how she became a single mom and the hardships she had to endure. A lot of what SHE went through could have been avoided. She wasn't sassy because she wanted to be. Even now I have family members going through things that could have been avoided if they had just listened. Even in 2024, there are way too many black single moms with no help going through things that could have been avoided if they had just listened or used a ounce of discernment. It's good to go against the grain sometimes but you can't walk around like a ticking time bomb. You can't walk around like you know everything and have all the answers. You have to be wise enough to know when to be sassy and when to relax and be a student of life. That's the only reason I watched this and other things like this because I want to better understand and learn from others. I also said I didn't think everything was entirely her fault. I understand a lot of things were happening to her. I just thank god that I listened to warnings and the wise women in my life because I had I not... smh.
Some people who go through hell lead themselves straight into the fire.
Queen: Half white, 1/4 Cherokee, 1/4 Black, educated in a white household (house N word, quadroon back then), and pretty to look at. Imagine how hard it was for an average looking 100% black former unfree person without the ability to read or write (education). I'm glad to be living in a time where all people are free and have the right to an education as far as it can take them to become successful.
I can't recall if Halley won any award for her excellent performance in this Great Series... God knows she desires just that ! 😊
I heard she didn’t 😕

Bravo,!!!!I cried at least 15 times with this movie..I loved it
Great movie. Wonderful story of Black love. I hope I can write a story like this one day. Alex Haley was brilliant at telling his ancestors' story. I'll definitely watch your documentary. Thx for sharing!
This is a great series. I can't help but to notice and feel sad for how far back it goes to show how families have been broken up for so long. All the way back to Queens grandmother that was sold away to her sons father who left.
What a beautiful, story. Emotional, moving, yet so powerful! Congratulations to all the brilliant actors. Aroha from Aotearoa. ❤
I can not say how many times I have watched this series. My heart breaks for all those who suffered in the past. Ingnorance was so evident. Those whom ever took part in any of these actions, I know they have answered to God. But WHY must we continue to suffer because of the actions of others? It hurts me to so much. I am a 56 yr old 'white' woman. Recently a DNA test was done. Results were of no surprise to me. Believe you me, if half these people did an Ansetry backgound they would deny the results to the grave. I am proud of my heritage Im enjoying researching my heritage. White/Black ..... who cares! I am a child of God. I am truly sorry for for all the lives lost. The trauma they endured. But sadly people in this day and time still want to punish others. Its History. We cant change what was done on the past but We can move forward and create a better FUTURE. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!💕🙏🙏💕
Thank you so much for the upload. I'm truly enjoying my time off from work for the holidays. This series is awesome and sad but must be told
A big thank you for posting this powerful story. So glad Queen got her happy ending and so with the rest of her family!
Happy New Year!
I loved this movie almost as much as Alex Haley' s book . I truly love books too .
Vec dugo nisam gledala ovako dobru seriju ❤
Her life experiences stressed the he'll outta her. Trying 2 fit in and trying 2 be fully accepted and love that was all she truly wanted.
All she got was pure hell!!!😮😮😮😮
✨what a sad and beautiful, precious Story ☺️🙏🏽❤️🌹✨
Thank you so much🙏🏽💕
❤️❤️❤️ A wonderful, poignant , gripping & most enjoyable series. Wish there were more like this ❤️💕
I know right! I love the whole roots series ❤️☺️
Thank you for putting this on youtube God bless you
Q;how can one human being feel that another person doesn't not have a soul?,I think that they should be checking on THIER OWN souls.
Exactly ‼️
It’s so bizarre and to top it off they use their religion to justify it lol.
Yep, that another hard scene to watch and listen to 😢
Thank u for uploading all three parts in good quality! Wish this was available on all streaming platforms its an important story
I am sobbing like a baby wow soooooo good !!! 💜🍇💜🍇💜🍇💜🍇💜🍇💜
The hate is still here in America. 🇺🇸 It’s as strong today as it’s shown in this movie.
Stop lying u could never go with what the ancestors went through to compare it is an insult and a lie . They went through it all its no measurement and if it does happen it's probly one day they dealt with it everyday. They was addressed as the nword to a word people dance to today it sad and sick
Yes it is big time .
No, it's not by far.
WE DID GET A BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 TIMES CHANGE AND THEY ALSO REMAIN THE SAME 😮
No it is not its way different racism goes both ways just in different ways.
Thank you so much for posting. We gathered around the TV set when this first aired. So nice to see the movie again ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it🙂❤️
Very touching movie, super, thanks.
Of course ❤️
Wonderful film and the actors was amazing in every way , thank you 🙏
Thank goodness for improved mental health care, (notice I did not say great!) Queen had a panic attack and ended up in the asylum where so many other women ended up in that day.
I am so glad to see this 3parts movie! Thank you for loanding this amazing story for us.
I was strong impressed by the characters and the story also. Very Good performance of Halle’s. 🥰
Of course❤️ and yes Halle did her thing 🥰🥰
"Queen" was an underrated series because of the scandal about Roots and they wanted to cancel Hailey because Roots was not his personal story but it is still a masterpiece of literature and deserves to be taught just like any other classic. I would not like a remake of Queen though because also the actors have not yet gained enough recognition ( The white ones are great as well - I truly hated each and everyone of their characters 😃)
Yes indeed this is truly a classic ❤️
So glad this was shared! I watched it years ago…so well done! ❤
Much appreciated ☺️❤️
Wonderful. I know that Alex Haley didn't get to live to finish this book. But someone took up his notes and finished it for him. When you try and put yourself in Queen's shoes, it makes you wonder how she managed to cope with all that she had been through.
A very heartbreaking story, but beautiful all the more!!
They used to put people in the crazy house. Saying they were crazy, but they weren't crazy!
Amazing series. Thank you.❤
BRAVA/BRAVO all for this splendid trilogy!
I realise that as an African I lack the standing to discuss the African American experience....
Their history was brutal my goodness
Thank you for sharing this wonderful movie 🎬
Beautiful series I cried so much at the end
I can’t stop crying … we still suffering the psychological effects from our oppressors…. From all the trauma… just being passed on ….
*Don't allow us to go back in time to this... VOTE!*
Only reason they try to go back is because they losing the world to blacks and to control again this is what the got planned I hope God take me home b4i c it amen
Ain't nobody more enslaved than those who have the illusion of freedom. We are ALL in bondage now. Voting for the chains of your oppressor is just like choosing one side of the same worthless coin. Wake up to the reality, it's high time all Americans did.
@@deepfriedohiogravy4756 You accept those CHAINS for yourself, I will be voting to ensure me and mine are not LITERALLY chained.

This was so incredibly beautiful. I am moved to tears and wow Alex Haley did an outstanding job as a writer. Thank you for showing us a piece of your history, so that the world may learn. ❤️🙏🏽
The mentality of white Trump supporters and what they mean when they say make America great again
WHAT TF ? Nutty statement
This why I don't get why blk men are obsessed with white women
I highly doubt they mean by bringing back slavery. There many black Trump supporters. Kamala has gotten many young black men incarcerated and some where even executed for crimes they didn't do. So please do your research and not what the media put out to brainwash people like you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol you’re just mad that the Democrats lost a major war again 😂
Brilliant movie! I watched them all.
You can’t stop watching them.
I’m glad to be apart of these real life stories. We are all connected to each other in this world. It’s all our stories that make up this life we live on earth . ❤❤❤
Indeeed❤️ it’s definitely a classic ❤️
@Paulinemarvin894 I've always believed that as well, that we're all connected to each other & we've all got a story to tell!
Peace, love, & happiness to u always, my friend. 😊
Abner’s dad was selfish and trifling!
I loved every minute of them three series. Great story. Amazing woman. 😢😢😢❤❤❤
Me too. Me too.
I watched all 3 episodes!!!
That is a blessing to know about your history!
That was an awesome walk through history. I am wanting to get to know about my Ancestry, who my people were and where I came from.
“I don’t believe “n…” have souls.” How absolutely wicked. May anyone who has ever said that and have not been repentant have their day of reckoning on the day of judgement.
All of humanity has been created in the image of God and we cannot defile the image of another.
The same wickedness that was perpetrated on humanity then is still being perpetrated. It’s just taking a very different form.
I tried holding in the tears throughout the entire movie.. bawl like a baby at the end!!!😭😭😭
My harts in my throat.watched all 3 episodes and have been crying from about ten mins in on number one.the things we do to each makes me cry.
I know this movie makes me tear up every time 😭
