The first 'aerostatic' flight in history was an experiment carried out by the Montgolfier brothers at Versailles in 1783. At long last, man could leave the surface of the earth below. 19 September 1783 is a key date in the history of humanity
I believe it's Beethoven that's mixed race He's black and European. And I had a white school teacher tell me that my music teacher In the 1970s told me that and I looked into it and found out it was true. And Mr PAGE had a patent for his Plane before the Wright brothers ever flew there's Page was already flying And already had a patent for his air plane. And the first President of Mexico was A african who was Kidnapped and sold into slavery I believe he ended up in Europe living with Royal family And I believe his african Family were Royalty and then he ended up being A general in the Spains Army and he was so good that he went up against His own country at the time and beat them and ran them out of Mexico because he felt so much love for the Mexican people and their struggles that he became the general for the Mexican army After being there for so many years leading Spains army.
Excellent story. Very inspiring. Our children need to know this. I plan to share this with everyone I know. Let’s start telling not just HIS story , but ALL American history.

@@jenx8842 Actually, there were a few European versions with two balloons but they proved to be less effective so the idea was abandoned.

@@Leif208 -- Even if that is true, Page's contribution to furtherance of airship design had to be considered a significant innovative advance in order to be issued a patent.
@@ibamINV Not necessarily. I think you're giving too much credit to the patent system for approving anything "new." There were literally hundreds of patents for airship and airplane designs, most of which were never built and never flew (their mostly being either unfeasible or were simply nothing innovative). Also, the US patent system was separate from the European one and most of the airship inventions and successes occurred in Europe, so even if he was able file a patent in the US, it still was nothing new. But, let's see by my asking a simple question about Page. What did he come up with that was either new, original, or had never been done before, that a more advanced version hadn't already been invented, built, and flown, that would be worth remembering or celebrating?
I am pausing to reflect on the horrors of slavery and our ability to persevere and excel and triumph.

I’m not surprised that the truth about our Black History was never mentioned because it wasn’t meant to give Us as Black Peoples the power and opportunity as the oppressors took credit for the works of Black Americans who were Brilliant Minded People and it’s so obvious that jealousy and envy and hatred also greed was bigger than anything else
I’m intrigued and very proud of this Brother’s ingenuity especially with the challenges he faced during the place and era he that he lived in. But I’m not surprised by this omission. It’s just another “Page” torn out of the history books.📖
I saw a story about Mr. Page in the Alexandria Daily Town Talk when I was a kid. It made me feel proud then and it makes me feel proud now. There has been such a recent pushback against inclusion. Unbelievable since the inclusion is based on facts and merit! His grandson featured in this presentation, Mr. Joseph Page, was my scoutmaster when I was in the Boy Scouts. It is good to see the Page family getting the much-deserved recognition.
As the popular statement "the story of the victor will always be heard first" I'm glad to see deep investigation been done,though many will not be heard. Mr Page(Paige) your work is very much appreciated thank you Sir. As we continue to dig many more will come to notice.
There are those of us that know the truth about stolen inventions. The truth is there for those who wants to learn. So sad that some people's stupidity impedes the progress of humanity by denying brilliant minds the opportunity to reach their full potential which would benefit all people.

Eye opening. Untold history of black Americans is truly an inspiration to me as I am from a country known as Papua New Guinea on the Pacific Ocean and am grateful to watch this video. It's amagnificent and powerful tale. Blacks are intelligent people and must be recognized for our contribution to humanity and not put down. Powerful. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Man, this is something else. First time hearing about Charles Page's story about inventing the plane. When thinking about the plane, we assume that it was the Wright brothers that did it. This is a story that needs to be told.
Sorry, but that is not correct. Page didn't work to invent an airplane at all. His ideas were for balloon based flight. That's a different idea altogether, and was accomplished years before he was born.
The reason he's ignored is because, 1) the Wright Bros invention was the first successful actual powered airplane, the same technology used today in ALL airplanes (which is by far the dominant air travel) and 2) HE DIDN'T INVENT ANYTHING. The airship had already been invented, AND CREATED AND FLOWN, at least as early at the 1600's (even the "ship" part, including the propeller, the engines, the dual balloons, everything). There's nothing that he "invented" that didn't already exist, and 3) unlike the Wright Bros, HE DIDN'T MAKE OR CREATE ANYTHING. ONLY ON PAPER. On paper is a far cry from actually inventing something. For decades prior to the Wright Bros. countless people invented powered flight, but until they actually created the invention and tried it out, they all failed.
What a smart and brilliant young man children of today should be aware of the brilliantcy they have inside of them just like this gentlemen did what bless to know your history
*Thanks Joe Page and Michael Wynne* ◾️ _Thanks gentlemen for persevering to get this very very crucial historical fact about the contributions of Charles Frederick Page to the invention of flight immortalised in the annals of flight history!_ ◾️ _If Page had gotten recognized and funded, it is unimaginable how many iterations he would have made to evolve his invention for commercial manufacture as a viable alternative amongst others._ ◾️ _The value of this video to the self confidence of young Black boys and girls is incalculable. you are heroes!_ *Thanks for the great research!*
The great Black-American man who invented the world's first airship was Charles Frederick Page who was an Black-LaLwizyànan man from Pineville, Louisiana.⚜️❤🖤💛🔱

@@Aztec82 except he didn't even make it. It was on on paper and then as a model, which is a far cry from actually making it. Also, his design wasn't as advanced as airships already in use.
Racists have no shame. The man's model was stolen or destroyed and yet one pink person keep saying he built nothing or that it existed only on paper... dense and dunce people indeed.😢😢😢
Wow, this is powerful and the narrative is very interesting and creative. Thank you so much for this story as I, a Black woman, had never heard of him. Now I will do some more research on him.
We are the Fathers of life on earth. If the truth were to ever be revealed, the amount of modern technology and contribution to life that ppl of a Darker Hu have brought forth would unravel all that we know.
I'm going to make Charlie's story widely known because he deserves it and his inventions and research can be vital on whether or not if airships can make a successful comeback and to be able to do things that airships were meant to do. Not knowing Charlie's research and designs could contain a lot of information that we'll never see or know about. I'm glad y'all brought this video. Very educational. Thanks and please send more info on Charlie.
I remember learning about this a long time ago when I was a kid and never heard about it again until now they suppressed and hid this story so good that I actually thought I had maybe misremembered the story!!!
Lots of people were airborne before the Wright Brothers, the first hot air balloon flight was in France in the year 1783. Just nice to see that a black man was among those, I guess.
@@KwatuistMNo not the same concept, the airship was a big step forward. A Frenchman invented the airship in 1852. Then Zeppelin invented the ridged airship in 1895. Zeppelin btw was German.
@@thexavierjamesfiles Far more advanced airships (with engines, guidance systems, etc.) were not only invented, but were in use, long before. Many, long before he was even born. There wasn't anything even unique about his little idea.

When we talk about aviation, it's important to recognize the women aviators who made significant contributions in the field. Although Amelia Earhart is often credited as the first female to obtain her aviator's license, this notion is false. History books tend to overlook the fact that Bessie Coleman, an African-American, earned her pilot's license six months prior to Earhart's achievement. Coleman, also known as Queen Bess or Brave Bessie, deserves the recognition for this incredible feat. It's crucial to acknowledge the true pioneers of aviation, and in this case, it was Bessie Coleman who paved the way for future generations.
NO ONE thinks Amelia Earhart was the first female to get her license. Earhart became the first woman-and the only person since Charles Lindbergh-to fly nonstop and alone across the Atlantic. Hélène Dutrieu of Belgium is the first woman to pilot a real solo flight in an airplane (1909). 1909, March 8: Raymonde de Laroche of France becomes the world's first woman to earn a pilot's license. On September 16, 1910, Bessica Raiche made the first accredited solo flight by a woman in the United States. Harriet Quimby was the first American woman to earn a pilot's license (August 1911) and the first woman to fly solo across the English Channel. There were probably hundreds of women who either flew solo or earned their pilot's license before either Earhart or Coleman (in 1921). It was still an achievement, though.
God Bless you for digging and revealing this hidden history. May we continue to unearth and recognize all the human inventors irrespective of race,color or creed.Thank you again for this revelation!😊
Have we forgotten the airships of the 1800's that provided the "birds eye views" of many cities? Have we forgotten the carvings and models of flying machines in Egypt?
Have you forgotten that africans captured africans from neighboring tribes and SOLD THEM OUT to european ship owners at the coast of africa who then took the captured africans worldwide and re-sold them as slaves ? Have you sent them a formal letter asking for REPARATIONS yet ?
@@craigalston2208you clearly don't understand race or tribal make up of Africa. There were Shemitic Africans sold by Hamitic Africans and Arabs. Not all Africans are of the same race.
@craigalston2208 Ignorance is bliss !! Respectfully, you are uneducated and unlearned, sir. Africans did NOT sell Africans. Black Hamites (descendants of Ham) sold black Shemites (Israelites/descendants of Shem), to Europeans. Also, let's address the elephant 🐘 in the room: Can you guess what very wealthy group of people OWNED the slave ships ???.... JEWS ✡️ ! Please stop being lazy, and dig into past historical events. Also look into Jewish encyclopedias, they tend to record more honestly when it comes to historical events. Shalom🙂
I know. I don’t think people on this sight understand the difference between an airplane and an “airship.” Airships like Page’s were made decades before his even MORE primative design. Have any of these people heard of the “Zeppelins” of the 1800’s. Page’s design was just a copy except his design was not aerodynamic at all like the ones from the 1800’s. Afrocentrism doesn’t know history. 😂
@@michaelkennedy6415 You sure about that? Afrocentrism is used to correct the historical narrative, since models of planes, helicopters and other flying machines are in museums and ancient texts.
It is not a sad mystery; u know why it is not known in books, HE is A BLACK MAN. AMERICA as WELL as the WORLD should be ashamed for not letting people know about ALL that BLACK PEOPLE have done for and CONTRIBUTED to in this world, for HUMANITY. But remember, BLACK PEOPLE r the FIRST PEOPLE of this WORLD, of EXISTENCE for that matter. WE r a GREAT PEOPLE PERIOD✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
actually this was not the first airship balloon design , more than 50 years before this several balloon airships and one or two steam propeller powered in europe, I believe France was one place. The Wright Brothers were attempting to fly an airplane i.e. craft heavier than air so this is not an airplane and not comparable. There is a lot of history that is not commonly known, it's the individuals job to research and look for it. This is not sad, and it is not a mystery, it is a world wherein most people do not know what normal body temperature is or where the river Jordan is. Look at College students when they are asked on video many relatively not complex questions right here on youtube, it's just that humans are often nowhere near as clever as they think they are, which is why we need to seek the God mind , and abandon the human primate mind that leads to destruction. Just some thoughts.

His version wasn't even as advanced as versions that had already been flying for 50-60 years. He didn't even invent an improvement to the airship, nor did he ever even fly in his "invention." There were already dozens of white guys who also invented improvements to the airship that no one knows about either. It's not a cover up. He didn't accomplish anything. You guys are truly delusional.
FINALLY THE TRUTHS ARE COMING OUT
The first 'aerostatic' flight in history was an experiment carried out by the Montgolfier brothers at Versailles in 1783. At long last, man could leave the surface of the earth below. 19 September 1783 is a key date in the history of humanity
If u dig deeper you can find the Wright Brothers criss-crossing the actual pattens
an air ship is not an airplane, no one is using them anymore for a reason, we are talking apples and oranges here.
I’m not surprised that the truth about our Black History was never mentioned because it wasn’t meant to give Us as Black Peoples the power and opportunity as the oppressors took credit for the works of Black Americans who were Brilliant Minded People and it’s so obvious that jealousy and envy and hatred also greed was bigger than anything else
God has always given gifts in all humans and in His awesome creations..be blessed and thankful!
Great and soothing revelation. Black is not only beautiful but greatly enviable. Indeed nothing is hidden under the sun.
I’m intrigued and very proud of this Brother’s ingenuity especially with the challenges he faced during the place and era he that he lived in.
But I’m not surprised by this omission. It’s just another “Page” torn out of the history books.📖
I saw a story about Mr. Page in the Alexandria Daily Town Talk when I was a kid. It made me feel proud then and it makes me feel proud now. There has been such a recent pushback against inclusion. Unbelievable since the inclusion is based on facts and merit! His grandson featured in this presentation, Mr. Joseph Page, was my scoutmaster when I was in the Boy Scouts. It is good to see the Page family getting the much-deserved recognition.
Please continue this great work.
As the popular statement "the story of the victor will always be heard first" I'm glad to see deep investigation been done,though many will not be heard. Mr Page(Paige) your work is very much appreciated thank you Sir. As we continue to dig many more will come to notice.
Afrocentric fanfic is always impressive.
I love the creative licenses yall take with everything.

There are those of us that know the truth about stolen inventions. The truth is there for those who wants to learn. So sad that some people's stupidity impedes the progress of humanity by denying brilliant minds the opportunity to reach their full potential which would benefit all people.
Well said!
ANOTHER piece of history that i never knew of!!!!
I would like to see a biopic about this great man that lived in the shadows.
Tyler Perry studios too busy on the next Madea . It’s up to us
I would definitely want to see this.
Incredible what people will do to promote their own ambitions. This is sad. Hope his family receives the recognition he deserves.
Learned a lot .Thank you
Thank U 4 the WONDERFUL FIND😊‼️
Great information!!!

Eye opening. Untold history of black Americans is truly an inspiration to me as I am from a country known as Papua New Guinea on the Pacific Ocean and am grateful to watch this video.
It's amagnificent and powerful tale. Blacks are intelligent people and must be recognized for our contribution to humanity and not put down. Powerful. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
And now I have heard everything
You don't hear everything yet that's plenty more. You should learn how they stole from African-Americans inventors.
This is the tip of the iceberg.

Man, this is something else. First time hearing about Charles Page's story about inventing the plane. When thinking about the plane, we assume that it was the Wright brothers that did it. This is a story that needs to be told.
Sorry, but that is not correct. Page didn't work to invent an airplane at all. His ideas were for balloon based flight. That's a different idea altogether, and was accomplished years before he was born.
The reason he's ignored is because, 1) the Wright Bros invention was the first successful actual powered airplane, the same technology used today in ALL airplanes (which is by far the dominant air travel) and 2) HE DIDN'T INVENT ANYTHING. The airship had already been invented, AND CREATED AND FLOWN, at least as early at the 1600's (even the "ship" part, including the propeller, the engines, the dual balloons, everything). There's nothing that he "invented" that didn't already exist, and 3) unlike the Wright Bros, HE DIDN'T MAKE OR CREATE ANYTHING. ONLY ON PAPER. On paper is a far cry from actually inventing something. For decades prior to the Wright Bros. countless people invented powered flight, but until they actually created the invention and tried it out, they all failed.
Imagine that... the man's patent is being discredited😢😢😢Sad. Modern Jim Crow reincarnated. Ok grandson, run and hide they are crawling out again!😅😅😅
Thx Black Journals for providing the info on Mr. Page. 😢 I'm 75 y.'s o. 1st time I even heard os his achievement.
Huh.... Mystery?. Stop the BS. We all know why Charles F Page's, incredible achievement was kept out of the history books.
Exactly...
Real Talk
Thanks bro
Ain’t no black fool making airplanes, unless it was affirmative action plane lol
It’s a lie, that fool didn’t do anything
I'm farmer native of Pineville Louisiana and didn't realize this out history books, My People's are incredible 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
😂😂😂So so funny
Thank you very much; this was an eye-opener!
Tyfs! I just read about Mr Page just recently and now I have received additional information from your channel!❤
Excellent. Not surprised. Subbed.
Thank you for sharing. My prayer is that we will support our community, so much so that such a thing can not occur again in history.
This is the first time I heard of this Brilliant Brother. Thank you God for Revealing the Truth to the World
Salute to you Brother for dropping mad jewels on the ignorant 🙏💯
What a smart and brilliant young man children of today should be aware of the brilliantcy they have inside of them just like this gentlemen did what bless to know your history

Great work bro emotionally crying to hear this beautiful character of black people. love from Uganda
Charles Page did😊🇺🇲💯🗽
Excellent! Thank you for YOUR contributions to the unveiling the truth!
This is American History!
*Thanks Joe Page and Michael Wynne*
◾️ _Thanks gentlemen for persevering to get this very very crucial historical fact about the contributions of Charles Frederick Page to the invention of flight immortalised in the annals of flight history!_
◾️ _If Page had gotten recognized and funded, it is unimaginable how many iterations he would have made to evolve his invention for commercial manufacture as a viable alternative amongst others._
◾️ _The value of this video to the self confidence of young Black boys and girls is incalculable. you are heroes!_
*Thanks for the great research!*
The great Black-American man who invented the world's first airship was Charles Frederick Page who was an Black-LaLwizyànan man from Pineville, Louisiana.⚜️❤🖤💛🔱
Airship isn’t the same as airplane. He made a balloon lol

READ A HISTORY BOOK, DUDE.
@@Aztec82 except he didn't even make it. It was on on paper and then as a model, which is a far cry from actually making it. Also, his design wasn't as advanced as airships already in use.
Racists have no shame. The man's model was stolen or destroyed and yet one pink person keep saying he built nothing or that it existed only on paper... dense and dunce people indeed.😢😢😢
Beautiful Ebonics! Is that the way the elders of Louisiana pronounce it? LALWIZYANAN
Thank you ❤️, really! Thank you.
Incredible.
Like So Much of Our plight... WOW 😯!!! This Need be Available in All Historical Data, Books 📚 museums etc...
Lord have mercy
Wow, this is powerful and the narrative is very interesting and creative. Thank you so much for this story as I, a Black woman, had never heard of him. Now I will do some more research on him.
We are the Fathers of life on earth. If the truth were to ever be revealed, the amount of modern technology and contribution to life that ppl of a Darker Hu have brought forth would unravel all that we know.
Facts
TRUE TRUTH
I'm going to make Charlie's story widely known because he deserves it and his inventions and research can be vital on whether or not if airships can make a successful comeback and to be able to do things that airships were meant to do. Not knowing Charlie's research and designs could contain a lot of information that we'll never see or know about. I'm glad y'all brought this video. Very educational. Thanks and please send more info on Charlie.
I hope all watching share this video with many people Thanks again
Yes indeed I find the information you shared enlightening and helpful...
I did like the video. I also appreciate the educational content.
I remember learning about this a long time ago when I was a kid and never heard about it again until now they suppressed and hid this story so good that I actually thought I had maybe misremembered the story!!!
Lots of people were airborne before the Wright Brothers, the first hot air balloon flight was in France in the year 1783. Just nice to see that a black man was among those, I guess.
Hot air balloon. What are you talking about
Hot air balloon, air ship... same concept.
@@KwatuistMNo not the same concept, the airship was a big step forward. A Frenchman invented the airship in 1852. Then Zeppelin invented the ridged airship in 1895.
Zeppelin btw was German.
@@thexavierjamesfiles Far more advanced airships (with engines, guidance systems, etc.) were not only invented, but were in use, long before. Many, long before he was even born. There wasn't anything even unique about his little idea.

When we talk about aviation, it's important to recognize the women aviators who made significant contributions in the field. Although Amelia Earhart is often credited as the first female to obtain her aviator's license, this notion is false. History books tend to overlook the fact that Bessie Coleman, an African-American, earned her pilot's license six months prior to Earhart's achievement. Coleman, also known as Queen Bess or Brave Bessie, deserves the recognition for this incredible feat. It's crucial to acknowledge the true pioneers of aviation, and in this case, it was Bessie Coleman who paved the way for future generations.
NO ONE thinks Amelia Earhart was the first female to get her license. Earhart became the first woman-and the only person since Charles Lindbergh-to fly nonstop and alone across the Atlantic. Hélène Dutrieu of Belgium is the first woman to pilot a real solo flight in an airplane (1909). 1909, March 8: Raymonde de Laroche of France becomes the world's first woman to earn a pilot's license. On September 16, 1910, Bessica Raiche made the first accredited solo flight by a woman in the United States. Harriet Quimby was the first American woman to earn a pilot's license (August 1911) and the first woman to fly solo across the English Channel. There were probably hundreds of women who either flew solo or earned their pilot's license before either Earhart or Coleman (in 1921). It was still an achievement, though.
Great history lesson, God bless
We the best!
God Bless you for digging and revealing this hidden history. May we continue to unearth and recognize all the human inventors irrespective of race,color or creed.Thank you again for this revelation!😊
Have we forgotten the airships of the 1800's that provided the "birds eye views" of many cities? Have we forgotten the carvings and models of flying machines in Egypt?
Have you forgotten that africans captured africans from neighboring tribes and SOLD THEM OUT to european ship owners at the coast of africa who then took the captured africans worldwide and re-sold them as slaves ? Have you sent them a formal letter asking for REPARATIONS yet ?
@@craigalston2208you clearly don't understand race or tribal make up of Africa. There were Shemitic Africans sold by Hamitic Africans and Arabs. Not all Africans are of the same race.
@craigalston2208 Ignorance is bliss !! Respectfully, you are uneducated and unlearned, sir. Africans did NOT sell Africans. Black Hamites (descendants of Ham) sold black Shemites (Israelites/descendants of Shem), to Europeans. Also, let's address the elephant 🐘 in the room: Can you guess what very wealthy group of people OWNED the slave ships ???.... JEWS ✡️ ! Please stop being lazy, and dig into past historical events. Also look into Jewish encyclopedias, they tend to record more honestly when it comes to historical events. Shalom🙂
I know. I don’t think people on this sight understand the difference between an airplane and an “airship.” Airships like Page’s were made decades before his even MORE primative design. Have any of these people heard of the “Zeppelins” of the 1800’s. Page’s design was just a copy except his design was not aerodynamic at all like the ones from the 1800’s. Afrocentrism doesn’t know history. 😂
@@michaelkennedy6415
You sure about that? Afrocentrism is used to correct the historical narrative, since models of planes, helicopters and other flying machines are in museums and ancient texts.
Powerful Story thank you for sharing.
It is not a sad mystery; u know why it is not known in books, HE is A BLACK MAN. AMERICA as WELL as the WORLD should be ashamed for not letting people know about ALL that BLACK PEOPLE have done for and CONTRIBUTED to in this world, for HUMANITY. But remember, BLACK PEOPLE r the FIRST PEOPLE of this WORLD, of EXISTENCE for that matter. WE r a GREAT PEOPLE PERIOD✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
WE should be ashamed we didn't uphold this FIELD and journey more into this tech and others spawned by the black Americans
actually this was not the first airship balloon design , more than 50 years before this several balloon airships and one or two steam propeller powered in europe, I believe France was one place. The Wright Brothers were attempting to fly an airplane i.e. craft heavier than air so this is not an airplane and not comparable. There is a lot of history that is not commonly known, it's the individuals job to research and look for it. This is not sad, and it is not a mystery, it is a world wherein most people do not know what normal body temperature is or where the river Jordan is. Look at College students when they are asked on video many relatively not complex questions right here on youtube, it's just that humans are often nowhere near as clever as they think they are, which is why we need to seek the God mind , and abandon the human primate mind that leads to destruction. Just some thoughts.
To really understand your point, when you get a chance go and see the movie "Origin."
The reason he's ignored is because, 1) the Wright Bros invention was the first successful actual powered airplane, the same technology used today in ALL airplanes (which is by far the dominant air travel) and 2) HE DIDN'T INVENT ANYTHING.
