I’ve read this book 3 times and now I’m reading it to my grandson, I want him to know what our people went through in this place we call the United States!!!! Great book
While I'm feeding my newborn in the first few minutes I wanted to end this video but I thought if he could sleep on naked floor in the winter with just a tattered shirt on at the age of 7 I could have the decency to finish, the strength of our ancestors is unmatched
@@allthecolorsofthewindremai8240 amen this video is changing my life.

I'm like, I get it "we were slaves", but before that we were much more than that. Anyway I kindof went on shalom to you.
Hit Da Dougie Douglas if you really want to hear something like this but different, you should hear or read George Washington Carver’s “Up From Slavery”. Hear how it was in 1865 right as the slaves were “freed “ thru the Emancipation Proclamation.

Thank you for sharing these stories. I am an educated black male with an advanced degree in medicine but I never heard most of these stories you share on your page.
If you don't know where you are coming from you will not know where you are going to. Be curious and find out about why and how you are even called African Americans in the first place
no need to pat yourself on the back concerning your *advanced degree* , just git to the point of your ignorance related to this knowledge, let someone else pat your back to the extent that you are deserving…are you the *only black* on your job and the *only one* in your neighborhood, the *only one* in -your- their country club…when they yell nigger in that club are you the only one thats trying to shape shift into a tropical plant…
He did not share to be made shamed! Encouraging him to research black lives and slavery...Find documentary regarding "BLACK WALL STREET" WE don't know others life experiences! My people 🤨
All of us need to listen. Unless we can educate ourselves, we will never be able to free ourselves from mental slavery. Our ignorance keeps us from realizing we are oppressed and who the oppressor is.
Those slave owners were all democrats there wasn’t a big switch it was 1 guy yes one of the many racist democrats but just 1 not a big switch the democrats are still the racist party
I am giving my kids a week to listen and analyze these words. There assignment is to write a paper about what empowered the slave owners and why. I think we all know the answer. Education was kept from them, because knowledge will soon help one recognize how powerful they are. 💪🏽
This is the truthful story of a great man, who like out from a mythical fable overcame so many odds and hardships to achieve not only freedom but for the freedom of his fellow brethren. This man was, and is a true hero. No matter what country you come from, this man formed a legacy that resounds in us all.
Mr.Ozzie Davis has spoken so very well my ancestors voices writings and history ! Fredric Douglas is on the must read list of American Children ! 🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏🏾4️⃣🌎✌🏽❗️
The Bible:s Slavery has been brought to my attention by someone close...how the Bible support slavery of others that are not of the 12 tribes of Israel. Exodus and Leviticus (details of how to mark an individual and his family of a Perpetual slavery. The White Church (Catholics & Protestant & now Evangelicals) support this Bible. Now I have to study all the religions around the world and real world history to understand my own. And I need to study many of the religions of the ancient up to the current and learn the writing and language, topographical geography. No Wonder Chattel Slavery was championed. Now I must question who and how the Torah and how many had influence of this....Slavery should not be for anyone especially chattel. I'm barking on a long journey to find out and learn the best of my abilities.
Such a powerful story. His strength! His power! His awakening of his own gifts talents knowing he was more than this. Culminating a plan to break the chains in which he was in and not waiting on anyone to do it for him.
I've been in enlightened and struck with a awareness of my own obligation and responsibility to walk upright. Our ancestors has gone through so much, Martin Luther king Malcolm X and countless others To bring us where we are today, which, in reality we as a people are worse off than even then. Wake up my people and rise, as Kings and Queens that we are.
It really was. When one believes that an entire race of people is inferior and belongs to another, it goes way beyond being a prisoner of war, and turns it into something that compromises the humanity of an entire group of people. That is pure evil.
After posting the speech by Fredrick Douglass on the 4 of July I was looking for another lecture for my readers when I came upon this recording. If you care to write I would care to offer you a platform to do so at GeneticMemory.Org (where this will be republished with an honorable mention) at any time you care too. I don't believe we have a right even now to be silent. Thanks for this publication.
The words of the great Humanitarian Mr. Frederick Douglas spoken so eloquently by another great Humanitarian Mr. Ossie Davis!! Thank you reelblack for posting this.
They were forcing Hebrew slaves to sing just as the prophecy foretold in Psalm 137: 1-4 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
With all that we as black people have gone through.it makes me very very sad to see that we as black people still don't understand what self hate is still here.in we should be together as one .but we are killing each other .at a high rate..we as black people need to stick together.ower future depends on it...
Frederick Douglass purposely learned how to read and write like most of our ancestors who were slaves. They wanted to learn and write and I believe if we got back to that passion that they had to learn we would be a phenomenal race of people. Learning and educating ourselves IS were our TRUE freedom lives at
CAn someone explain WHY there are so many thumbs down, even as to outnumber thumbs up? Although that does not in any way diminish the message or reading of it I am curious (yet knowing lol. )
Sitting here crying bcuz its 2019.........2019!!!!! And we STILL haven't risen as a proud Nation. These curses and spells are HEAVY upon us Lord knows.

If I had been raised with this in my heart and ears ,I doubt if I would ever used drugs for I would've known that I owed a debt of gratitude to those who had come before me to do better, In my own way I was enslaved by my own hand, and I shall never be able to repay this debt I now owe but must do my best with the time I have left to make a difference for the better, however in the time being I have found it impossible to forgive myself for my disrespectful behavior !!
