I'm a 72yrs old blk man, just about the age of many of the people in this documentary and being raised in Detroit Michigan and I have never heard of Mooresville, NC and just to hear of a student being called the N word by a white teacher, in the late 1960s, is simply sickening 😢!...
The 💩 should have been slapped out of him or her
Feel you...many are younger than me and it is like hearing people testify about when they were in enslavement times, compared to inner city Southern California. Notice how some will default to not claiming exactly how terrible things were...a sign of how damaging those European immigrants falsely represented humanity.
My mom's hometown
I got called an N in the 90's..... Victorville, CA I was in the 3rd grade....I was laughing with my friends in front of my class waiting for our teacher to arrive.....a boy walked up and said shut up N'er.....I said I'm not an N I'm a Tolbert....boy said see that's how dumb you are. I'm not talking about your last name N'er......then he spit on me and went to kick me.....at 8 years old I had never known what a N was....but thanks to my Dad being an amateur boxer and training me in the arts.....I caught his foot and beat him until the teachers pulled me off him.....
I was born in 1963 in Arkansas and my seven brothers went through all the ignorant racist things you could think of. Eight grade was as far as both my parents went, and both could read and write. Amazing!! God saw and heard it all !!
My daddy was raised up by our black moor's family.. He loved these people so much, and they treated him like a son.. LOVE is missing from the world..
Mooresville is this a made up name to represent the folks moving or being made to move or was Mooresville the name of that place anyways?
You're a wannabe and delusional AF.
I'm an Amazigh or Berber or Moor from Morocco.
We are NOT black and we NEVER have been black.
The Amazighen are ABORIGINAL to North Africa and we are native in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.
Our ethnicity is Caucasoid. Some of us are pale, red haired and others are tanned.
In conclusion, you were NOT part of us and you are NOT part of us.
I swear by ALLAH that I will make justice to you.
The great scholar Ibn Khaldun warned us about you and he was 100% right.
Come to Morocco and you will see!
Research How Abraham Lincoln as a Lawyer Defended the Rights of Black Moors📕🔍🤔🤨 then think about these ignorant fool's that call him Racist🤡💩🎪😎👍
@@JohnDoe-kg6gyWow, your hate is from Hasatan..👹📕🔍🤔🤨 If they are truly ignorant they seek truth not destruction😎☝️
I am tearing up because of my own related memories. One room school I attended in rural Georgia.
We also grew up outside in Mobile Alabama. We explored everything from the Tennessee Ditch and Railroad to the Three Mile Creek.
Heehee...yeah, we was really outside!🃏²³°
Thanks for the very informational video. Glad to see such beautiful people talk about the past. Messed up part is we still living in the same kind of situations today..
I like watching these productions and even though it hurts I love to learn.
ME 2❤
Great documentary. I worked for a large company headquartered in Mooresville remotely and never knew this rich African American history. I thought the area was mixed.

Very interesting Documentary on our African History. Thanks and I will continue to take more interest in our Rich African American History.
I watch these videos and I admit I get pissed. Not only because of what was done to my ancestors. Not only because the government sat by and did nothing. Not only because today's society act like this history doesn't exist. Mainly, because I see so much critique of the black community today especially when being compared to other ethnic groups. Many love to point out what Asians do and Jews do and other groups. Then they say why can't the black community do what they do. But the more you really research history you see black Americans were developing whole cities after slavery but every time they made progress their cities were burned down or stolen. No other group had to experience that. Many groups started building after the Civil Rights movement that black people started and worked for only to see all that work benefit others. It's infuriating because our communities didn't have to have the issues they have. If one can't see how practically every issue in the black community albeit gang violence, poverty, lack of education, teen pregnancies, e.t.c isn't rooted in racism and white supremacy I truly believe they just don't want to.
Facts that Bruce beach , Tulsa ,Seneca list go on
I could not have said it better. You summarised the issues so well.
Mooresville is a few exits up 77 N from me. Hearing this history is interesting. Thank you for sharing
You imagine going to the library and told they can't serve you with the book? And some people today said there is and was no racism.
Only the ignorant
right
Thanks for sharing this History
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Look at how our people was influenced by people who looked like us! But, they aren’t us! These infiltrators controlled their communities leadership and our people never knew the scary truth. About, the conjuring wars which took place on their minds. Perhaps, they will never understand genetic social engineering amongst right under their noses. Reconstructing black on black, All Skin folks ain’t kin folks, switching their bodies minds and lands.
Thank you for that incredible award winning doumentary!!!!
This is ""EXTREMELY EDUCATIONAL"" & BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES FROM MY CHILDHOOD !!!
THIS is a EYE OPENER. PUT GOD FIRST and GOD WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH. GREAT IS OUR REWARD IN THIS LIFE and in HEAVEN. SO THANKFUL for both parents in these people LIVES. STRONG FOUNDATION of a FAMILY.
Amen
I am thankful I wasn’t born around that time. Great documentary thank you
It isn't even better now.
Thanks for sharing this important history
Tell me how can you like a people that have done so much harm to your people. I can't.
Chilleeeeeee I’m telling you. I just can’t. Always something.
I can’t anymore... they are just hateful so I stay away. I keep to myself it is so bad.
Because it’s bigger than all of us, look at the history of human beings and it makes sense.
I wonder the same thing
That’s the downfall
Excellent documentary. Rest in peace, beautiful Ms Helen. Our family will always love you. 💔❤
"Am loving this beautiful video of reality of life, school, family,teachers. Thanks for this. I appreciate you 💘
I listened to all these stories people telling how they were treated growing up and I was in certain predicament also but I never back down from them because I educated myself to withstand their ignorance and until this day I refuse to give in to their stupidity. God carries me faithfully!!! I fear no one but God.
VERY different times back then living by govt.backed segregation laws it could mean losing your life
Thank you for this documentation of history. I'm white, and first of all, I apologize for the suffering caused by white people. My promise is, I will work the rest of my life against racism.
Heyyyy now .. okay
You are Wonderful, Peace and Love to you always.
Thanks you 😘 for sharing your experience. This can be good for Education to what happens when some people think it didn't exist. 💯
VERY WELL TOLD!!!!!!! I LOVE THE PICTURES OF OUR CULTURE. MY FAVORITE I DEFINITELY THE TOWNS FIRST TRASHMAN❤❤❤❤❤ MY FIRST SITE OF AN AFRICAN AMERICAN TRASH MAAN THEY WERE ON THE BACK WITH A STEEL CAN IN JUMPSUITS LIKE MECHANICS AND A HARD HAT. #OAKLAND #CALIFORNIA #1980
Oh this is so dope! I grew up and have family in Mooresville, and the members of my mothers side of the family, the Stewards not only attended and continue to attend Morrows Chapel, but also lived not far from the church in an area called Mayhewtown. Good job documenting our towns black history!
I absolutely enjoyed this documentary. Standing ovation. I remember going to Wood School when I was in 5th grade I also remember the mistreatment that I suffered from my teachers. I felt like I was pushed aside and reprimanded more often than my white peers. All the way up through high school I barely graduated but it took one angel of a teacher Miss Gardner my English teacher she actually cared literally the only one My guidance counselor did not care to help me My senior year I was in allied health science 2 so that I could receive my CNA certificate right out of high school. Well there was a shirt that we all had to wear for these clinicals that included your name tag and a patch on the side of the sleeve that was stolen from me and the teacher made no effort to help me replace it or anything she just said oh well that almost caused me to drop all the way out of high school I was so devastated. No one helped me no one cared I had plans to go to UNCG but those plans were dashed because of the mistreatment and I believe I was extremely discriminated against because of my color A lot of us copper colored skinned children have stories similar to this dealing with growing up in Mooresville. It leaves you scarred and damaged but you still have to smile and be respectful. And now it is so expensive to live here I feel like they are literally forcing and pushing us out because you can barely afford to live here so if you have a place you better keep it unless you intend on leaving Mooresville because they are making it to where you can't afford it You're going to have to go live somewhere else😢
That's what integration does, hang in their,and pray,God will help us and you to
The key word used is "community". We don't have that anymore no matter how much education and money we have aquired . Because we don't operate as a community with businesses, a bank, a newspaper a school, and some of the things mentioned we have become weak as a people.
Whitey burned them down around the country, and built highways through them, used imnant domain, and manny other tricks.
@@tyeash7822 exactly, every time u build something, here comes klu klux klan to get u. It's frustrating and tiresome and scary thing to have to deal with, trying to survive!!! 😱🙏🏾🙏🏾 Lord have mercy on us!!!!
Great goodness I never heard of Mooresville well, keep living and you will get more knowledge about our history.
Very informative
This has got to be one of the best local history interviews ever. I have always loved the Mooresville and Thomasville Communities along with Statesville, where I have/had some relatives. And these people were kind. I am LJ Steele and am kin to the Tabor Family.
I enjoyed watching❣
Thank you for this documentary!

Thank you
Mooresville is where my great Grandparents called home. They stayed on Sharecropper land. Medlin and Chavis are the family names. My Granda didn't get much schooling unless it rained. The girls went to school and the boys stayed home and help on the land. They kill hogs, raised chickens and sold tobacco. I miss everything about going to Mooresville on Sunday after church.
They all say we knew our place. Wow
I was born in 63 these some healthy young looking elders
Great documentary. I really wished it would have covered the first Black Mooresville Police Chief and how the town wasn't ready for that and ran him off.
Thank you for this video.
I remember sammy Davis couldn't go thru the front but his group who was white went thru the front door.
Exactly right
Sammy married a Becky,so who cares
Fat older guy that said he made the football team said, I said “I’ma show respect no matter what you show to me” and, that’s one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard.
Also, his Mother “ran” the house (sadness all around) and, he’s “different” and his Father wasn’t around for him.
ALL OF THIS is sadness.
This is a good video but I have to say, I will forever be indebted to you Gardner 😇you’ve changed my whole life I’ll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you’ve saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment in money market, thanks so much Mrs Rose.
Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it” I have been working with Rose Gardner before, look her up to guide you on that. You need an expert guide.
2020 was a rough year for me as I lost my job as a college teacher due to the pandemic. I got introduced to Ms, Gardner, I opened up about challenges I was facing here in Norway, during my time working with her, I was able generate weekly returns on my investment.
I was skeptical at first meeting someone online this days carries enough risk, there's a site she introduced me too, and I got the white paper of the work, In over a month, I was able to tripple my portfolio , she's been a mentor and friend
I’m trying to create long term wealth to set towards property one day . How can i reach out to her? she could be of great help
@ROSEGARDNERBIS
Bless you all for what you had to endure in American life. My uncle had a store in an all black neighborhood and I worked there. I learned many good lessons in life dealing with the folks there. Simple things like greetings and good manners. I lived in an inner racial .it was in-the Army serving down south that I first experienced racial prejudice at he hands of white soldiers. I felt ashamed to be part of this white devil race.
When my son was a young boy I taught him right from wrong and passed on the good manners shown to me by elder black seniors.
One Saturday afternoon I had the privilege to meet Dr. King. While pulling honor guard for a local soldier funeral service. Dr. king came to greet us and make sure we git something to eat.
I do not understand my fellow white people and the cruelty they treated our fellow black soldiers.
..
Come on man, you know and understand.
CUT THE CHECK
My great grandmother told me at age 7, maybe 8yrs old she "my manners will take me further than my money would.
You probably Alzheimers
Please don’t classify the whole race as devilish because not all were like that, you and many more are proof of that. Though there’s still issues that are unaddressed which I’m sure will come to light. Im glad that you’re of good character and that you also passed it on to the future generations like King. Have a nice one 👍🏾
@@akachinuru7807Y'all are the devil's children.
We would walk to school and erased writings in old books and the Teachers were great añd the Admin and teachers did the with what they had which we appreciate know was not fair. They was paid less. Did not stop them. Things were done without questions.
.
In seventh grade we started sharing classes with black kids, none before then. Not many black folks in Randolph county. Us farm kids stayed outside even in the winter plenty of stuff to do.
North Carolina has a lot of little known black history
Any known books written on that history?
@@danettecherry5003 There are so many but here are five books that provide a broad look at the state and focus on events and individuals in various parts of North Carolina.
1.Henry Frye: North Carolina’s First African-American Chief Justice by Howard E. Covington, Jr.
2.Wilmington’s Lie: The Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy by David Succhino
3.Legacy: Three Centuries of Black History in Charlotte, North Carolina by Pamela Grundy
4.Just Over the Hill: Black Appalachians in Jackson County, Western North Carolina by Victoria A. Casey McDonald
5.Julius Chambers: A Life in the Legal Struggle for Civil Rights by Richard A. Rosen & Joseph Mosnier
Too bad most blacks don't care to know it
Mrs Stockton, Johnson C. Smith University or Livingstone was not available?
I'm 77 years old when I started to school we carried on the back of my uncle pick up truck the white kids had school buses that was in white springs, Florida
It is not what we were it is what we are now. Be the best you can be all the time I did and I am very successful .I started with an education and hard work .
Once we a realize we could connect globally through consciousness, we will begin the reset. We are a force of nature.
I am with you on that. Christ taught to "Love thy neighbor as thy self." Makes sense if you treat everyone as you wish to be treated, and everyone did this, the world would be at peace. No more treating others poorly, no more wars, no getting lied to or getting scammed or cheated in business. The world would be a far better place.
Are you doing new age garbage??🤔🤨
@@Justaguywithtruth it’s not new anything. That type of knowledge goes all the way to Atlantis, the new age is the modern programming you grew up in, domesticated and complacent
@@MyceliumNet Great Reply, I had to ask though🤔🤨 Seen some real nut's out here.. 🙏💪👍
I was told the same thing by my elders they always fought them.
How do we continue to like these ppl who have brought harm to our ancestors‼ When do we say "enough is enough" and fight back‼ No more protesting, praying, or wanting equal rights. We've tried doing it the kind way, but that didn't work so it's time for us to be physical.
We can not be physical because they got very big guns we must do like the isrealite obey god
Sad, True and totally Correct. They will NEVER, EVER TREAT US FAIRLY BECAUSE THEY FEAR REVENGE. They can't imagine that we not wanting to destroy them as they have done and continue to do to we Negroes.

What is the Gentleman's name with the blue cap and a hunting top graduated 1974 ? Appears I know him
When Will People be paid for having to walk miles to school while the other folks buses drove past them yelling the Royal word. Taxes was paid by all the People and All the People should benefit. Also well into the seventies in South Carolina some students had to pay for their books and stll had to turn them back in.
A lot dropped out because no money for books. Please Someone out there and get some Class Action for families from 1920 to 1979.

Nice documentary as far as hearing the elders described their experiences.The interviewer's lines of questionings were poor tho. I do not believe that it was intended but some of the questions were stupid and condescending.

What it means to be an American:
Starts with learning how things work beginning with why you can be an American, or us citizen but you cannot be both.
The most powerful tool in existence. >WORDS< Knowing how to use them is PARAMOUNT!
Constitutions are commercial contracts to do business with other countries under the UCC, federal, state, and municipal codes are contracts to do business with other private corporations such as federal, state, and county corporations.
Right NOW, all of humanity is imprisoned under basic grammar semantics because they don't know how grammar rules work well enough to recognize the ambiguities of language to see "television programming" in the literal sense.(telling a vision, bad programming) Nor the difference between a Liberal and a Libertarian. Words control EVERY aspect of human existence. And until you have successfully trained your total mindset with this logic, you will not perceive that the key to freedom has been right in front of you in plain sight the entire time. without understanding word etymology you don't have the tools to open the invisible bondage of grammar semantics created by the wordsmith of people(living)person(dead), and property(thing) in a specific word association construct under commercial law in the 13th & 14th Amendments that make them Slavery Contracts. The u.s. code is the corporate charter for USA, Inc. USC Titles give the authority for commissions of office. The us attorney general is the highest law enforsement officer in the corporation, and every agenct that has an OIG operates under the authority of the attorney general Title 42 is a huge umbrella for fraud because the Law of the Land (Constitution) has been replaced with The us code (Law of the Water) an Admiralty Jurisdiction where people are in a commercial judicial system that sees them as property without rights. the correct point of redress is in an Article 3 section 2 jurisdiction and courtroom. The ONLY jurisdiction that they had to keep for the cases that forces them to deal with the living, like bankruptcy.
We are dealing with professional #fraudsters who have been operating in deception for over 151 years, and that is exactly how everything that used to protect "We The People" from the tyranny of Government, slowly changed to these agencies being weaponized to protect the "corporate interests" from all liabilities to the People still unaware that the Republic was lost along with its constitution.
151 years of slavery and counting
The Republic For The United States Of America Constitution and The u.s a. incorporated u.s.code contradict each other and cannot exist together. The federal corporation fraudulently presents the republics constitution as an active instrument of commerce using the code to make its own rules using compromised " news" sources, and social media platforms to hide the truth with false representations and hidden agendas to silence and disarm THE PEOPLE one infringement at a time. This has gone on for over 151 tears because they haven’t found another way to trick Americans out of their guns. (the only obstacle that prevents the tyrants from becoming a totalitarian dictatorship). The commercial language in the code is written for property not for man. And the only jurisdiction with authority to even communicate with living people is an Article III Section 2 courtroom.
Using the etymology and definitions of the term municipal as an adjective referring to an incorporated or chartered city or town as a reference- a corporation which is titled as municipal, that’s been removed from every municipal function; that will not let the People light a lamp, or permit them to pave a street and provide them with a separate police they can not control, that is a corporation when it has a Dunn & Bradstreet listing that shows a different power structure, and different accounting information, that is a criminal enterprise.

I have no idea what you're trying to say.
Yeah what are you talking about friend?
What you mean..?
@@asherbendavid59 lol confused as hell by this comment.
The point being made is possibly that the people there were not ex-slaves. They were free people of color etc. They were labeled as ex-slaves through their integration with the few African American ex-slaves.
