The beautiful souls of black people who are considered by this world to be nothing but are really God's gift to the world!!!
Amen. Were all children of God. It really sucks theres so much racism in this world an the whole thing that happened with slavery.
Our youngest today need to learn this history and listen to these Elders, we are standing on the shoulders of Giants, they went through so much so we can survive and thrive today, thank u all!☮💜💐🕊
They wont listen because to listen would mean to turn off the fun! I still agree with you, though.
These guys have huge hearts.

Joe Savage is my mothers uncle which makes him my great uncle, unfortunately he and his brother David Savage were murdered in a house fire back in 1993.
To come out of that and not be a vengeful hateful person is an accomplishment, these are strong ass people.
Awesome.

That's my Uncle June bug
Hey mr Anthony Savage are you a blues man as well ? If not pick up a guitar or harp or even a damn bucket and start beating it . The world needs more soul like you're uncle put into it . Take care man .
In the 1940s they still had the prisoners plow with a mule, with no way to control where it went? It sounds more like a mind fcuk than a way to get the ground plowed.
Anyway, I've heart a lot of songs about Parchman's farm, but this is the first description of daily life I've found.
Opinunate ted yeah just slavery reincarnated,sorta like today except just not quite as inhumane
Opinunate ted No way to control where the mule went? How did you think they plowed before the advent of machinery?
@@mojorisin5775 They would train the mule, and they would hit it when it went astray. Not so hard as to injure it, just enough to let it know who was in charge. Well, it sounds like in Parchman, they could whip the prisoners to control them, but the prisoners could not discipline the mules to control them. And the fact that the prisoners were black and the mule was white, well, they were trying to teach them something, but it probably was not how to plow a field.
