My mom is aging and began telling me part of her upbringing was in Ruleville and Yazoo City MS she lived in Alabama until fourteen yrs old now living in Michigan my daddy was born in Yazoo City, MS raised in Michigan now living in Bronx, NY. I was even more excited to know Fannie Lou Hamer memorial museum is located in Ruleville. I love Mississippi! so many resilient people there. My family and I plan to visit Ruleville. Thank you! for sharing. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
My people are so strong... Love being black!!

I Agree 100%. Wish we as a people would only recognize how strong we are✊🏾. They see it which is what he “try” to suppress it. Love Us🖤❣️
❤️🖤💚👍🏽
I second that!!
I’m the Great Granddaughter of Roosevelt Lea of Liberty,MS this is so amazing to watch my great grand dad was a amazing man inside and out thank you for sharing ❤️
Roosevelt is my great uncle!! He is the brother of my grandmother, Bertha Mae.
Ms. Cally, we're cousins!!! ❤
Much respect for all those who participated in change for Black American .
Amen.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💜💛💚👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
What change did it bring?
My question is, who are the people who didn’t like this video? This video represents history of our people who fought, died, and persevered through this Jim Crowe era.
So TRUE…. This is KNOWLEDGE!!!!!
Enemies of the people, enemies of our own household. No worries. Victory is ours. Keep your eyes on the prize.
The whites of course, maybe a few 🦝s
I have been watching this documentary over and over again for over a half of a decade; it is so inspirational and so uplifting. We all should be grateful and thankful for all the strong and determined leaders who endured so much just to register to vote. We still love and appreciate all that you all did. Thank you forever.
Amen
AmeeN yalab ❤
We are some loving, forgiving hard working strong people.
The Forgiving is worse.
That's where the religion comes from, which they gave us, to keep us calm and fooled at the same time.
Maybe that's the problem. A little less loving, a little less forgiving wouldn't hurt.
@Vanessa Whetstone agree
@@topazrichmond7426 LOL, that's the right thing to do, carry that ball of hate around with you on your back, pay those white people you meet every day back for the slaves they owned, HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa :)
We the younger generation of African Americans .. owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the older generation , our parents and grandparents and so many others such as the folks in this video .. because they suffered and endured so much to ensure that we would have things better when we were born .. They fought and struggled so much .. they suffered so much hardship and poverty .. thats why we have to continue the fight .. Power to the People .. Power to my People
We aren't african nor ever been from Africa. We always been here. We are true American (reference Websters dictionary 1828 version of the meaning for its origin)
We white people owe them an enormous debt of gratitude too... and then some.
I WAS A PERSON WHO DIDN'T WANT TO VOTE BECAUSE I FELT LIKE VOTING WAS SET UP TO NOT HELP ME OR MY KIND, BUT AFTER SEEING THIS DOCUMENTARY, & SEEING HOW MANY OF MY ANCESTORS FOUGHT, BLEED, & D IED, SO I COULD VOTE, SO NOW I TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO...
THANK YOU TO ALL MY ANCESTORS🙏🏾😥
They did not fight, bleed, and die for the right to vote for the white controlled democrat and republican parties. They wanted the vote to control the economics and politics of their communities. They formed an INDEPENDANT political party with Black candidates who were sharecroppers, workers, etc. NOT integration.
Our history is so deep . We have to be careful not to let emotions alter our decisions. In truth , many people have died for many reasons some righteous some foolishness some ignorant .
Black skinned ppl died , just being their skin color 100%
May I ask since you’ve been voting, have you seen any positive outcome from voting? I don’t vote because nothing that’s promised ever happens. I want to vote and make a difference, but I don’t see any change that helps black people.
@@TaelurrGame f#ck voting period
Mrs hamer was one of the greatest woman in American history for sure.
Yes, she is one of my Heroes!
Amen she is my SHERO❤
My SHEROE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Big facts she truly stood on business
Thank you, for these reels on videos. I hope ppl watching know when watching, not much has changed...really.
Dawn, I would argue There HAS been a great deal of progress. But the system has not changed at all and still works with precision.
So true!
What the oppressors did was remodeled the oppression
Not much has changed. We have a little more freedom than them but we still are not free. Some of us are happy with the little bit they gave us. Money to pay our bills..drive cars...take trips....some are happy with this but that is not enough. Its nothing compared to what we can gain. We not free..not at all
@@romaneingram9823 ruclips.net/video/zmEScIUcvz0/видео.html
My people, if we learn who we really are, that will explain a lot, we are the YAH's chosen people, the real Jews, we are Hebrews, the descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob that a everlasting Covernant were made with GOD himself, our history is in the so called Old Testament, the very book we was taught that we no longer need, it's explains our past, present and future, start with Gen 15:13,14 and Deut 28:15-68, hopefully you will want to know more because what's been going for 400 years isn't just an coincidence, don't continue to be destroyed for lack of knowledge ⁉️🤔
We as a very STRONG NATION OF PEOPLE are sooooooooooooo precious, beautiful and intelligent
We praise Cardi B and ratchet ,bourgeois twerking etc..we eat McDonalds pork and shellfish and wonder why we are so sick...we would rather work in coporate slavery as opposed to owning our own..we have to do better..This classy Queen is rare in our community unfortunately...we need to do better. No shea moisture products.back to old School and natural remedies..I love us but even I realize where change is needed...
Beautiful black people!
Amen sis
We came far from these struggles but we still have a long way to go.
Yesssssss we certainly do
Very moving. My people are a great people! God bless SNCC and the BPP. This is when the tide began to turn. We got off our knees! Began to tell the truth of our odious conditions. Began to turn toward each other for support. Organized. Began to understand that faith without works was dead. Began to understand that the peace we wanted, we’d have to fight for it, that we had a human right to defend ourselves from violence. Students, children, young people lead the way forward. We kept our eyes on the prize. We held on. We want freedom, the human right to determine our own destiny. And we will have it or die trying. The culture many of you claim today is not the culture that brought us up from slavery and out the mud. A trap house won’t do it! Keep your head up and eyes on the prize. BET won’t do it!! A side deal won’t do it! Cop City can’t do it!!! Do the hard stuff, the things that are necessary and we cannot lose.
Special thanks to the sacrifices made by the Freedom Fighters of SNCC. I had the honor of meeting Julian Bond, James Forman, Mildred Forman, and John Lewis.
It's so sad that my daughter's generation have no idea that this wasn't long ago. These stories weren't in ancient times, but modern times.
All young people need to see this ALL OVER THE NATION
Absolutely. These kids think they got it hard today.
That’s the only way the world is gonna change.
Absolutely may give some the inspiration to do better for themselves and the community they live in get a good education and jobs 💕 Ms 🐝
Bob Moses is still here teaching what a BLESSINGS! Wish him PROTECTION,PROSPERITY and POWER!
👏🏿 💪🏿 ✊🏾 ❤️ 🖤 💚
So sorry to say ..such a powerful man has passed ..he is an inspiration for all to follow .. RIP..Sir..
It definitely hurt me to my heart when I heard the news ..the day he died .Bob Moses was an inspiration to us all ...I'm from that era ..two of my Uncles were lawyers ..that travelled from the Gulf Coast parishes of Louisiana to help civil rights protesters ..beaten and jailed ..in our sister states Mississippi .. Alabama ..and Georgia.. terrible times ..I remember them well ..we as a people are strong ..those days showed me as an eyewitness ..how strong .God bless all the ones gone on who fought the good fight ..and those of us who are still here and remember .❤️❤️❤️😔
Wow thoses videos are gold...thank you...the whole world has to remember this ...
Glad you enjoyed it
I love my Black people God Bless us all
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Awesome! Being able to persevere against those obstacles!!!
Absolutely!
It would be interesting to see what happened to these young teenagers?? Much love and respect to my people✊🏾✨✨✨
This video!! is so incredibly unbelievable and heart-breaking how could anyone allow this to happen?😯😢
Lovely Ladybug The greatest sadness is they honestly still believe they're Black and African Americans and other such crap. We were here when they got here in 1492. Matter of fact, they'd only gotten control of Europe FROM US just 9 months before Columbus reached here. He had Pedro "The Moor" piloting his ship. There were 5 of these dirty Moors who's were really converted Jews in disguise. One settled in Virginia and that history speaks for itself. We can't go back to Africa because this America is still Northwest Africa, on paper. It's deep, but enlightening.
Lovely Ladybug Stevie Wonder sang it in a song, "in 1492, Columbus came upon the shore...700yrs educated by the Moor..."
kenney0313 what song was this. And looking at video pisses me off how they stole our land.
The saddest part is in reality we are still fighting for equality and we are still battling a system designed to not only oppress us but keep us oppressed. As we used to say back in the day..."Don't believe the hype"! Our neighborhoods and schools are still neglected and perfectly designed to feed the incarceration system which makes the rich richer...we, especially our men are being targeted on the regular mostly for just being and trying to provide for their family...there is still not equal pay...they still plant guns and drugs in our neighborhoods yet we are the ones that pay for that when they get off free. Yes, maybe we are able to vote and for the most part choose our school but if the access is cut off from you then how do you expect even that to happen? When we want to buy a house, take out a loan or buy a car, our interest rates are higher! We still have a long, long, long way to go and the only way to do that is to learn your history (not being rude, I believe the younger generation should really look up your own history...not the one being taught to you in school because they are very selective)! This wasn't allowed...it was forced (two very different things) and enforced. In many aspects of our lives we are still being held hostage by a system that don't see us as equal.
You are right...we are neither Black or African American! We are Isrealites! We are the chosen people! They have always known who we were while we are just finding out. That is why they fight so hard to keep us brainwashed! It was our great grandmother x 20 (not statistical but theoretically speaking) that populated the entire world and we were in so called America when they first got here...we were called Indians and Mexicans (Both belong to the 12 tribes of Israel)...they are us and we are them.
Watching my grandfather and a long with my mom and aunts and oldest sister brings joy to my heart. Seeing a video of them when they were so young and being that my granddad died in 1984 , seeing him in the 60s is amazing, my mom holding my oldest sister in her arms is amazing 😍
Thank all of you for the ground you laid 👏🏽
This is amazing! As a people. We are only 61 years into our Legalization in this country. The progress made is breath taking. From voting to Education to jobs and housing. Raise yours the right way!
OmGOD 😢 my ancestors had such a rugged hard time 🥲 my heart breaks every time I watch these clips .. however knowledge is essential!!!! Thank you for posting such a very informative segment.
'WE' act like we forgot how hard those before us fought for us to have the little so called freedom we have today out here hating on each other and killing one another I'm personally EMBARRASSED for our ancestors and ALL those that risked it all so we'd have it a little bit easier. #Tears
@Marie Why are you saying that? Do you realize your attitude is the same mentality that you are denigrating others for? There are myriad studies showing the validity of inter-generational trauma in regard to devastating conditions, like the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, and how it effects a entire culture exponentially over the decades when not addressed. There was no therapy for slaves after they were freed. The issues we face in our communities were not created in a vacuum nor happened overnight. In the case of many folks of color it results from the constant and consistent insult, injury (Mind-Body-Spirit) and suppressed anger caused by the sickness of 'White' supremacy, and being on the receiving end of the racist behavior it instigates -- including your reaction. Like so many traumatized people of color, many have internalized and projected it upon those who look like them. Yet the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics released a report detailing statistics from 2012-2015. When you break down violent crimes, they *happen* most often *within* racial groups. 'White' people are more likely to perpetuate a violent crime against another 'White' person. And the same for every other racial group. But when you dig deeper into the crimes 'Whites' commit against each other the crimes 'Blacks' commit against each other, crime rates for 'White' people are four times higher than crimes rates for 'Blacks'. (12.0 per 1,000) vs. (3.1 per 1000) as of 2010, 'Black' people made up 13 percent of the population but 40 percent of the prison population. Meanwhile 'White' people are 64 percent of the population and 39 percent of prisons.
That is ridiculously unbalanced no matter how you slice it. Period.
What creates the perception that 'Blacks' are just *so much* more violent than other groups? The difference is in media coverage. They report on and bombard us with image upon sound bites upon memes on the radio, internet and billboards. Showing people of color committing crime or behaving outlandishly, especially within their own communities, at a exponentially higher rate than they do for 'White' communities. This shapes a particular perception that is skewed and completely removed from reality. Yet that's all part of the propaganda game of Divide and Conquer. The above statistics indicating the actual state of crime in the US, can be found over and over in myriad studies done by a variety of research initiatives, organizations and private foundations of both 'liberal' and 'conservative' ideology. So it is time to let that one go. And I suggest we all check *ourselves*, and be kind to *ourselves*, so that we can be compassionate towards others and truly be of service to our brother and sister human beings.

Saroya Fanniel well said.
Well said. Some of us are still alive. See how families stuck together and support each other. It's an insult to our ancestors not to vote.
@@saroyafanniel8932 one of the BEST comments I've read...

Marie You certainly hit the nail on the head. Thank you.
Wow - I was born in 1964. This hits home.
Great video! Good quality! Thanks and keep bringing this heat!💯
Your channel is so all that!!! I been binge watching for 2 days...wow
Thank you All for your hard works.love and peace
Such a strong and very intelligent
And Powerful Women Thank you ❤️💐🙏
@reelblack I absolutely love you and what you do how you find these 🎥 I don’t know but your Amazing 🙏🏾 we must look back to go forward
Strengthening by watching.
Them brothers such strong and smart men
Love my people ✊🏾❤️ the strongest 🙌🏾
So many years later Still fighting 🙏🏽👁
Mind blowing
So true.
Anyone is black and watch this documentary don't wake up and smell the coffee there's no hope for you
Amazing footage find. Im going to show this to my kid.
These videos are so educational. I pray that many will find this channel and view all its content.
Yes, very entertaining.
All of our schools especially the schools in the African Americans Community should have this film as an historical or educational piece; so they could somewhat know what their forefathers had to through “ Just to Vote “ and some even lost their lives. Today a lot of our young people don’t care to Vote; These are just a few of their testimonies. Maybe after seeing this film it will open their eyes; just “ Maybe “.
And America will be great again ?
I’m young and suffer with several chronic illnesses. They didn’t send my absentee ballot. I believe they’re doing it on purpose. I’m not able to go stand in a line for who knows how long. I totally believe in voting.
We ain't neva been africa
Thank you very much for this footage!!!
My mother told me Mississippi was a mess back then and for a loooong time. She never wanted to move back to a place she still knows as home. We are so Blessed to have the things our ancestors suffered through, bleed got beat for, starved for, and died for. Yet, some still don't care.
I appreciate these videos. I had the pleasure of growing up with great grand parents and grandparents on both sides. And my children the same. And having those centuries gave us 1st hand knowledge of the change. It also taught us to be greatful. We arent rich with money but we are truely billionaires of education of truth. Est. 1884- 2020 worth of knowledge for our bloodline. Our people our glorious!! Thats why they fear us. No secrets. Just GROWTH
You’re are truly hero’s to me thank you
This is what it takes for true change...r we ready/willing?
Yes my favorite movie 🎥 about us❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nine GIRLS!! Wow!! What a blessing for that man! With all those daughters, I'm sure he died surrounded by PLENTY of family! I LOVE my people..
Black People had to be very strong back then, we should never forget what they did to make our lives a little better
Different tactics, same results in 2019. Wake Up! Get Protection! You may go but make sure they go too.
Woww
Agreed 100% percent!
Real talk " I've been tormented " in my soul I've been fighting against my own people for so long " I don't know how to unite with my own brothers and sisters . You see where I live" we still against each other . Example I came home from work one day and my neighbor was shaking my door knob ! So I went out side and caught him on the side of the house and confronted him " Man I was so mad I was ready to kill " so I told him a few choice words just to sternly warn him to stay on his side and I'll stay on mine . This situation is still tense and one match can blow it up . I personally hate it because I do want to change unfortunately there are those who are not with unity . It hurts my spirit knowing my people won't even postpone the bs for the greater cause .
So relevant today still.
Those who oppressed these PRECIOUS people, families, and generations, WILL face Jesus. Those oppressors might have lived a good, maybe even lavish life, and their seed and future generations may enjoy the results of what they did to them. What will they say when they have to face God?
Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord
@Ty Jones it is written all these things must come to past he did not came to bring peace but a sword for his kingdom is no part of this world
Wo be on to the inhabitants of the Earth for the serpent has gone down
To deceive many
@Ty Jonesand so.
Amen🙏🏽
They don't fear God ..they don't believe in him ..no matter how many churches they have ..or how many bibles they tote ..or how many songs they sing ..They cane from hell ..and they are making the return trip..
I I'm sorry to say
I thought we where more aware/awake today more than back than.
No Joke
Ps Peace and Love to all the folks who shed blood for the right to vote.
Thank You.
Sad,breaks my heart.....this is modern day slavery. It's still happening, just different years.😔....we strong though they couldn't kill us in Israel, Africa,or here💪🏾❤✊🏿I just Love mi people!

Wow - read Fannie's mini bio - and what she said was right on point - SMHZ they had us snowed back then too - but voting was paramount unlike today's smoke and mirrors with - politrickians!!!
Marie you're right sister and we got the nerve to kill and hurt one another UNITED WE'LL STAND
God bless Fannie Lou hamer and Julian bond and others for voting
Agreement! This is the first time I have seen thos, but not Fannie Lou Hammer, she'll forever be a part of me. I'm not black and I was stunned by the black people who know nothing about her. I think her name should be in every history book. LBJ interrupted her testimony b4 the DNC by announcing a senators b-day. Her words got to the American public irregardless.
This is real America, stay woke people, this is Make America great again smh🙄😏
This is true, Trump is your Daddy now.

The only way the world will change is to not let people forget about these times !!!
Our people have been through so much! Sickens me! We are strong
Thank u for ur help.
My heart hurts, but this is why I VOTE!
The big question is, if you have so much respect for our black ancestors and elders, how exactly are you showing or demonstrating that today? What exactly is it that YOU as an individual are doing to improve the black community and the world as a whole? THAT is a question the ALL OF US as individuals need to ask ourselves and be able to answer.. Because talk is cheap!! You can't be a black man, who respects the black struggle, but then turn around and disrespect black women! You can't be a black woman and respect the elders and the struggle, but then spend more money on your hair and nails than you do on school supplies for your kids and cuss the teachers out when they call you about your child acting up at school.... WE gotta start having some honest conversations in Black America...
You’re right we’re strong
@7:30 little girl having to quit school and help her mother pick cotton. That's so heart weenching.
That was MANY peoples story but thank God they made it🥰👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️🖤💚✊🏾❤️🖤💚NOW it's time for the oppressors to suffer 🤨👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is why I believe in voting. My voice count. People please vote. Our ancestors went through hell just to vote.
Also I'll never live or visit Mississippi. That is one state I am afraid of. That place is still very racist! You never hear anything good about Mississippi. 🙁
Everyone should view this documentary to see some of the suffering that American blacks endured.
Exactly.
Dianne??
Now now all that stuffs in your head.
Speechless
In 2019, there should be NO EXCUSE why you shouldn't register to vote once you turn 18.
People often miss the point: it's OUR HUMAN RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE. IF WE ARE LEFT ONLY TO VOTE.... WHERE, THEN, IS OUR FREE WILL? MALCOMB SHABAZZ WAS ON IT!!! DIVINE HUMAN RIGHTS ARE ALREADY OURS.... INNATE. FREE WILL, WILL TRIUMPH.
It's Not Hate It's The Truth And Nothing But The Truth. The True And Living Eternal GOD Knows I'm Telling The Truth.
2020...We are here again 2020 VOTE
She very legendary she really loves her people.Beautiful lady .
Nobody cld pay me 8000,,000000,00000,00000,$$ to visit or live in Mississippi...
I was 35 years old before I even heard of Fannie Lue Hamer…I’m 38 now😢. That’s sad. She should have been in history books along side the other activist!!
Good evening ReelBlack is there any way possible you could re-upload this again? With everything going on in the world right now i feel like our ancestors want us to feed off every ounce of their wisdom empowerment and even pain!!! NOW IS THE TIME WE REGAIN OUR RIGHTFUL POSITION AND TAKE BACK WHAT'S OURS!!! MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT!!!❤❤❤❤
We've come a long way in a short period of time✊️✊️✊️✊️
Who else had to go through this in America???
The white co-op farm worker's for many many year's, but they weren't black so they don't count.
Wow black is most beautiful ❤❤❤
THIS IS why Trump was elected so he can take black people back to this.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa that is hilarious.
Never will it happen

This should be mandatory viewing for all of those misguided Trump supporters. My sister was born in this year, just 61 years ago. We still have a long way to go and the fighters like Fanny Lou Hamer, Malcolm X, Julian Bond, John Lewis are not made anymore. May our people learn to be emancipated from mental slavery some day. Forever thanks to our ancestors. They did exemplary work ❤❤❤
