    Ms. Carter, you may never see this comment but I pray that you do, you are one of the most mesmerizingly, wonderful storytellers I have ever had the pleasure of watching and listening to, your spirit and your persona are captivating. I have ever heard anyone speak more superbly about our people and their history then you did in this video, the phrasing of your kind words inspired me and made me proud of being an Africa American. I just wanna thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and sharing a small part of your/our history in the film industry. May GOD bless you with a very long, healthy, happy, prosperous life. I wish we had so many more people in the world like you. Take care, be safe, and GOD Bless You Always!
