This man was so proud of his community he made a documentary about them bc he knew that one day we would need this reminder. Thank you Reverend S.S. Jones!
OKLAHOMW I LOVE YOU. This has my eyes watering and my smile glowing. Oklahoma born and raised. Now live in Seattle,Wa. This history give me joy and pride
i'm a Langston University Man! it was great to see LU in the film. that football field looked like the one my Lions played on in the mid 80's lol, hadnt changed ...much...lol
How incredibly awesome it was that this video was recorded. A good mount of footage t that. More importantly, was how these recordings survived all this time. Absolutely phenomenal scene to witness of all times, the current moments. I’m so proud to see films like this. Those football players barely had on padding. Since I’m just learning about this town, I’m searching to find out what happened to it. I’m afraid to know if white people (KKK) demolished this town as they did the other successful Black towns. Wow, just wow!
Boost Mobile No, black woman have always supported and build up the black man Image. The BM was the ones who left the black community after civil right movement to marry Becky.
Did yall notice the people in the video was wearing face mask? The film start showing the black church, then at the football game scene. What was going on in 1925??
@@sherrycambridge1531 I don't think it has to do with where you come from whether you like this music or not. I am from Tennessee, and I LOVED this music, especially the song that was played when talking about the churches in these towns. The singing was "angelic".😁👍👌
