It is amazing that some people have the audacity to say that slaves benefited from slavery.
Those who say this should open themselves up to trying it out for a month :-)
Candace Owens & Brandon Tatum are 2 of their paid sponsors 🤦🏾♂️
That's the devil talking
No one said the enslaved benifited from. Thats a misunderstand. The skill that many obtained was a by product of slavery. If a person is forced to learn how to build a house end the end they obtained the skill to build the house.
The people who said that are ignorant!
“My grandfather was a blacksmith”. For those who think they were just picking cotton, tobacco, and sugar cane. These folks were doing everything that was needed to set the foundation for this country. For FREE.
Yep many slaves did lots of trades. It was known that former slaves had more skills than many poor whites. They were the backbone of the country! I hate how our people are disrespected
They (we) literally built every city from the ground up in America(Babylon)
And it wasn’t skills taught to us. We brought our knowledge of cooking, animals, growing and earth science with us to build America.
Yet anyone can look up the fact that the settlers from the day they arrived until the union of states were always in debt!!!!! Doesn't sound like they were getting free labor for hundreds of years to me. The PEN is mightier than the sword and common sense.
@Steve-jo9cl because we are the people of the land… the pink men was the enslaved which is why things like the Mann act exist
I just turned 37. My grandmother was born in 1919. Her grandmother was a slave in Georgia. My great great uncle was the first black doctor in a small town in Georgia and what did that get him? Killed mysteriously at a gas station. We have been through so much in this country, just to be treated like trash.
Thank you for sharing your story praying that your uncle is resting in peace 🙏🏽 my mother was also born in 1919 in South Carolina
Mean while, Kemp is part of the first family to bring slavery to Georgia. He must love that we still have him as an "overlord". This country is trash. 🤦🏾♀️
_They_ love acting like we're so removed from slavery or that younger ppl don't have any direct traumas from it bcs it was sooooo long ago 🙄. The "you don't even know anyone who was a slave" gaslighting trope. Well, you do if your family history was talked about and passed down like yours was. I'm glad you gave your age.
Appreciate you sharing this. Prayers and thoughts are with you and ain't nothing changed
Then they have THE NERVE to act terrified of black ppl! Smdh
There has to be an argument that the descendants of enslaved are entitled to reparations after listening to this. The brutality of how white slave owners treated them is unimaginable. I am sad what this country did to those humans without payments for hundreds of years. It is hard to listen too.
Whats worse is that the slave owners got reparations for their “property loss.”
Sickening.
@@jnels2007 , you are absolutely right. That is a little-known fact that a lot of people like to gloss over.
Sad thing is they didn't want us to read or write set us back a.lot. Give us our 40 Acer that was promised.
@@planetgaming5257 think about it, you could be killed for reading and writing.. Death for reading🤨 now lets jump to lets say 1980 to 2023 we find out that some Black kids are graduating from high school and can't read, and a few need to take remedial classes to catch up, if they go to college, even if they was at the top of their class, how is that even possible?
to believe is not to say, admit & etc...already done that...but to believe is what ya' said...DESERVES REPARATIONS...🤨🤨🤨
These are the most moving recordings. I have a cousin 105 years old, her parents were slaves, she was born free. To hear this and to know I've also touched the hands of this history and ancestry, it's unexplainable. This needs to be shared more and for context of how close history really is, im only a 38 year old millennial
Have you read or seen "The Diary of Mrs Jane Pittman?"
@@barcelonachair6487That movie was such a roller coaster ride of emotions for me
She wasn’t born free,we are still in captivity.
These so called white people really did us dirty we are in captivity up until this day we from the Caribbean the history of slavery is horrible.
The most high is revealing all things they have no control over this it must be revealed we are the chosen ones the true Israelites we are in captivity up to this day.
One generation removed from slavery.....🙏🏼 powerful ,....
Slavery not your history
I've been saying this for decades. My great grandparents were slaves, why do they expect me to walk around like it never happened? UGH 2.5 years before I retire and can spend as much time traveling abroad as I like. I'm burnt out on the USA
@@ourblazingworldUnfortunately, regardless to where you go in this world, the remnants will always be there to remind you.
@@ourblazingworldYes! Let’s not forget the black codes , Neo - slavery, Jim Crow law’s segregation, redline housing block busting etc. it’s so much not then just slavery.
You aren’t
People want to do everything about recalling slavery EXCEPT reparations...useless
Brody I think it's only me and you on this same time keep telling deez racoon slavery not blk ppl history it was just a moment in time......salute king
VERY USELESS, indeed!
the way we treat each other today, we don't deserve no reparations. I will proudly vote against reparations.

“He owned my grandfather” and “I tried my best to serve my master” were two of the most heart breaking sentences I’ve heard. 😢 I’m in Rhode Island I’d love to bring him in my organization one day as a guest speaker.
She said severe her heavily father too they brainwashed us and took our land
I was born and raised in RI too!🙌🏾
In the words of Robert Nester Marley..."Now don't you feel like 💣n' a Church...Now that you know the preacher was lying"
Seems like she meant Heavenly Father aka God.
@@DelightPaws At 3:45 she said I tried my best to serve my master then at 3:50 she said I try my best to serve my heavenly farther. So those were two separate sentences, speaking to serving her slave master and God once she was released from slavery.
Thank you Zora Neale Hurston for your participation in preserving this important history. You were not only a writer but an anthropologist. You were able to gain their trust and you gave them the respect so often denied them.
10 million & no reparations.
Just awful!
America doesn’t want to admit what they did was wrong. Reason why I respect Germany. They knew what they did was wrong and gave their people reparations for it. America…I will never see reparations in my lifetime. My age…29.
@j4y911 honestly I don't think none of us ever will
The debt will be paid one way or another🫶🏽🖤1
I honestly don't believe we'll ever get anything.
@@bubblybubbles4023 Remember, they told our Ancestors they would never be free and or have Civil Rights🫶🏽🖤1 The debt will be paid one way or another🌬
Thank you ABC for covering this story. This is so important for all of us, despite our race to hear.
What about reparation I think that's more important now tell me what's important about this
There is only one race and thatvis the Human. You have culture and nationality, only one race. Please remember that. Posted with love.
Those recordings are probably banned in FL.
No some white ppl u work with have video, pictures and audio of this behavior towards blk ppl
Oh definitely
Shit, I'm surprised they ain't erased 🤷🏿♂️
There're certain folks in america who get triggered when you talk about slavery and racism in the US.
It’s a wonder how Florida has become a place that is worse than Cuba. Not even Fidel Castro disclosed history or knowledge. Shame on all those Cubans who fled Cuba due to the “oppression” of Castro and allowing Florida to become worse than Cuba…smh
Keep history alive in the collective consciousness! Including in the classroom!
not in Florida and a few other states, because those "moms of liberty" are out here working to white wash history by removing books
That's not your history please go learn your history and stop letting your enemy teach you about you
Amen Selah~🤔
Especially the classroom.
I was born in 1969. I knew my grandmother's dad. He was born in 1883/4 - he didn't die until 1978. We like to think that there aren't people alive today who knew these people from back when
BTW, my people fought for the union side.
I am a Registered Nurse who worked in Houston, Texas for several years. I met a patient in 1997 who was born in 1898! His mental acuity was brilliant. He told me his grandparents were slaves, and they would talk about the horrors of slavery.
I cried when he told me some of the things that they experienced. I hope to God, African Americans will one day get repatriation for the injustice their ancestors suffered as a result of slavery.
@@elfredawrightwill since we are Israelites our pain shall be vindicated
This is why there is a line in the sand when it comes to Black Americans of Enslaved Africans and immigrants. WE are Black Americans who have built this country. The immigrants are nothing more than beneficiaries of centuries of abuse of ADOS Black Americans. We are NOT AFRICAN AMERICANS
To know we live amongst the children of previous slave owners is cringe worthy. "They find themselves not guilty". Judgement is on this nation.
My great great grandmother told us stories when we were children about her early childhood as a slave. I’m so blessed to have known her.
This is one of the few times I’ve heard an ancestors voice. This is beautiful.
Wow! My mother’s maiden name is Davis and she’s from Mound Bayou Ms. She was born in 1938 May her Soul Rest With In A Peaceful Paradise.
🙏🏾🕊️💖 Mommy you are so so loved and truly truly missed.😢 I’m going to share this video with my family.
More of what they did to our people but no reparations!
Right.
You don’t deserve reparations is not that hard to understand
@@MaryJaneJones.you shouldn’t agree with this
@@The_king567when are you going to present some actual facts about the history of slavery in the US and stop with the babbling one sentence lines of gibberish?
@@kmac10027ignore @the_king568 him champ he/she is hiding behind a keyboard and showing you in his/her response their very ignorant.
I talked with a lady who was 101 in 1995, she had some pretty amazing stories. My Grandma was born in 1901 and when she had a little to much to drink she’d do the Charleston dance. Our country is so young and history was yesterday.
I had the chance in the 80's to speak to a woman whose grandmother had been a slave. She would get emotional when she spoke of "the things they did to those poor people" shaking her head. So as a child to now when I heard people say crap like people were treated like family I knew that was a lie. Do you hold family prisoner and force them to work for you? What I later realized was the lie was a way to keep them from feeling guilty about participating in such a barbaric practice. Willful ignorance.
That made me almost want to cry. It would be amazing to hear the voices of my great grandparents or great great grandparents.
C'mon Stop showing weakness. Be strong and battle ready
❤ bless them all.
It was hard to hear "I tried my best to serve my master." I cannot imagine living life being 'owned' by others. Its just.. so messed up.
Im glad that their voices are being heard and stories told.
I'm 62 and I got to meet my grandma and my great grandma and I will forever hold their stories in my heart.
A huge shout-out to those involved in this project. The story needs to be told.
Please make copies of the recordings. Anything could happen. These are so precious. Our voice.❤
It's amazing to hear the voice of Ms Celia from 1974 and to know that I would be born once year later in 1975 🫶🏿
These recordings should be in the Black History Museum .
I hope that they are on display with our history in the museum.
I was thinking that same thing and it should be presented in ALL classrooms.
I always can't believe when people act like this happened so long ago. My grandmother was born in slavery and she's still alive and some of the things she seen she still doesn't want to talk about.
Oh my! Perhaps one day your grandmother might be willing to share her story and help spread enlightenment especially for this younger generation. They need to understand our history in it's transparent form so that they can best prepare for their futures. God bless you and your grandmother. 🙏🏽
10 million voices that should not go unheard nor erased from our US history. This is the truth of this country and the moment we decided to not allow the government to hide it from future generations the quicker this country will heal and begin to restore its self. We the people hold this power it’s now a matter of putting it to practice.
Never forget!
For something so horrific, it's shameful how so many were held uncountable for their deeds. Karma has a way of connecting spiritual ties along with spiritual debt, and I believe America is experiencing it now through the "Woke Culture and migrant situation.
Yet they held those associated with the holocaust accountable. Let that sink in.
@@kymberlycourage Exactly! Thank you!
Dude, they’re literally was a Civil War. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@kymberlycourageno they didn’t some Nazis went to Argentina and you know that America didn’t invent slavery right it’s amazing that this has to be explained
@@davidbanner9344she’s wrong read a book
😮😮😮😮 114 GOD BLESSED HER TO LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO RECORD HER TRUE HISTORY !!!
May our ancestors REST IN POWER.
HOW DARE YOU TREAT PEOPLE THIS WAY. MY PEOPLE. 😢
I would also like to hear from the slave master’s descendants. What stories did they hear from their great grandparents?
They're not going to say a word bc that means they'd have to acknowledge the truth of how they benefited. They would lose control of the narrative and the power that comes with it.
YES!!!
“We came over here and pulled ourselves up from our bootstraps.” 🙄
yes . I’m from the Mississippi delta and my great grandmother was born a slave but later freed but her mom passed away as a slave . My grandfather was born in 1904. My grandmother Had my mom all her siblings in a house . My family tells me stories of how bad it was growing up back then. Idk why people act like slavery was so long ago. I’m familiar with the mound bayou area as well. Our towns are majority blk .
Was anyone getting emotional just hearing their voices? 😭🥺🥹
@VJASK93…Yes indeed. 🥺💔
Yesss
No
@Mimi_622 Of Course you would'nt feel emotion you Vacant Pale Vessel
i teared just hearing their voices.
I have to say this causes great trauma to my heart, but I have to Embrace My peoples Suffering and transmute it into positive energy .
I am in my 40’s and my great grandmother used to tell her grandkids about being enslaved in South Carolina post Civil War. Contrary to what others say, slavery did not end with the proclamation or the end of the war.
I know the names of my enslaved ancestors!
Same here!
Tyler, Texas is where much of my family is from. This is actually giving me pains in my chest 😢
The miracle of their survival is a true statement. I know I wouldn’t have made it and don’t think I would’ve tried to stay alive. I am so grateful to my ancestors & I make choices daily to honor their sacrifices
The thing that stood out the most to me was she said “ I try my best to serve my master and I try my bests to serve my Heavenly Father “. You can get people to believe in a lie then the truth. And European used it very strongly to get what they wanted because they couldn’t do it themselves.
I agree with you. Oftentimes people will work very hard to present a falsehood in such a way that it's taken as the truth without question. I also noticed the order in which Miss Celia made her statement - She said she tried to serve her master first and then her heavenly Father. That is heartbreaking. I would not be surprised if they were conditioned to believe that service to their master was more important than service to the Almighty. May God rest her soul and the souls of all of our ancestors. 🙏🏽
Meanwhile recordings like this have been on the internet for years
Thank you for sharing this history.
Fascinating ancient stories from another time. Cool to listen to.
So much lost history, so much pain, so many disparities still exist. My great aunt is 89, grew up with her parents brothers and sisters (my paternal grandmother is her sister) 16 total, sharecropping in GA. Which means my great great grandparents were slaves. Think about the Clotila in Alabama, the last slave ship after slavery was abolished.....then going into Africatown....reconstruction.....civil rights.....Amistad, 12 years a slave, Solomn Northrup's Odyssey, roots, enslaved, medical apartheid book, unchained memories, hlg many rivers to cross series, hlg black slavery in latin america.....the list goes on of how we were historically treated and how many of these things still exist.
Much of the content for this project was collected during the PWP that Roservelt enacted and are available at the Library of Congress.
This is so cool. I wish there were recordings I could hear of my ancestors from that time. I think about little details such as their voice and the music they liked every now and then.
So valuable. Thank you.
Thank you❤
Shame on anyone that is trying to erase this part of history. SHAME ON YOU!! You better pray for repentance. How dare you try to erase black history! Better hope God has mercy on your souls!
This is so beautiful. I can't wait to listen. Everyone should.
Beautiful? This is sad and disgusting! Justice would be beautiful!
@@scottduncan6344 yes it is beyond sad but to be able to hear their voice and them telling their own stories is powerful
That’s suppose to be Mound Bayou MISSISSIPPI, not MICHIGAN
That’s correct. Thanks
Yep. I was born in this county Bolivar. My folks them all came from outta there and spread out to Cleveland and Drew etc
I've heard of Mount Bayou Mississippi 🤔
My brother who wouldve been 74 was first generation from an enslaved in Paris Tennessee.
My faternal grandma told stories of walking the trail of tears. My cousin has a certification card confirming his heritage. I know stories of both sides.

Thank you for this video.
This is why CRT is so important. It’s American history.
2 generations away
That’s what people don’t get! My grandfather knew enslaved people. My parents grew up during segregation. It’s not as far removed as people like to think!
So true, my Dad grew up in segregated Florida and I am 36.
As if that means anything
@@WealthisoftheMindyes it is literally no other country thinks this please read a book
My great Grand father on my mothers side was a slave. His name was Peter Clifton and he gave his story to the Library of Congress Federal Writers project. His words ended up in the book “up from slavery the slave narratives”. Knowing I’m hardly 40 years old yet and slavery was only a grandparent or 2 away is amazing. Growing up I heard stories about farm land that our family used to own where we had Timber and Tobacco and how they killed great uncles of mine to run them off the land. I did some research and found the plantation my people were enslaved on. I often think about the now wealthy descendants of the ppl who owned my family members and the companies that have benefited from slavery who turned their fortunes into Industries. Reparations for black Americans should have been paid and we need it more than ever now.
Reperations now

My parents are children of sharecroppers which means they were also sharecroppers because they also worked the fields. This is still slavery. My parents are still living; my father (94 yrs old) gets angry when he remembers how his family suffered. If they had not migrated north I would most likely be a sharecropper. Descendants of the enslavers need to understand how the children today are still effected by this.

Exactly why we Foundational Black Americans (those who are descendants of Slaves HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) deserve reparations (and for the racists/ suspected white supremacists who will undoubtedly respond to this comments with redundant talking points, ask yourselves if you or your ancestors benefited from the free labor of our ancestors?)

Thank you goes to the late iconic, Folklorist/Historian/Author Zora Neale Hurston; Howard Professor Alaine Locke(a key Founder of the Harlem Renaissance Movement) and all the WPA workers who sent countless hours during the Great Depression gathering those recordings and documents of my/our Freed ancestors.

And her Parents were slaves and grandparents and GREAT-GRANDPARENTS here in the good old racist South USA.
What a gift from the lord Mr. Royal received by knowing his great grandmother Ms. Black .Wow powerful God bless him and his family. God bless all the slaves and their decendants.

Yea hearing was awesome I now wish I asked My Grt Grt Grandma she worked in the Massa house she’s of course passed on now at 104 yrs old.
We as white Americans have so much to ask forgiveness for and pay reparations to show we mean our apologies by doing so. This will bring so much peace if we did and it will show we are ready to move together and to move forward.
