The African American History Museum in DC needs to purchase everything she has in her collection, so that this Huge contribution to American History is preserved for countless generations to come. Sadly she's right that even in 2022, we're having a debate on whether or Not this part of American History should be taught in schools. History is history. The only dividing line is the time stamped on the calendar.
YES!!!
Absolutely 🌟
It breaks my heart it is only valued at 10 million..how is any one dress worth more than all that rare history!?
@@MssEllefry we (blacks) devalue ourselves by calling the enemy 'whites' .
We know they're not white. They're caucasian or europeans. Stop worshipping their gods. You give him power to defame you daily.
Jay you craycray
you know where the stories of those gods come from right?
I got chills from moment to moment! I really hope that the full collection gets a large purchase price. This is fantastic! This is American History!
AMAZING and PRICELESS!!!
This woman had so much fore thought!!! I hope that all of her items go to a large museum who will care for it all and share by showing/teaching about each of it's value!!!
Blessings to this AMAZING woman!!!
Great work, Dana Jacobson! Hopefully, this incredible collection will be safeguarded and find a wider audience. Ms. Meaders is to be commended for her vision and dedication. Well done!
I can hear the strength and the love in her I am I am in awe of her accomplishment. I hope this can stays fully in tact as a collection and she receives the recognition that should come with this. Her name too shall not be forgotten.
Wow! This is amazing! Can't wait to hear where this collection lands-- hopefully its new home's purpose will be to educate and inform for generations to come... much like its current owner. What a queen! ❤
Wow. I can’t believe she is 90 years old. Beautiful 💗
This is awesome. Hope the collection ends up in a good museum.
This woman is amazing. I pray where this collection lands that it is valued, loved and treated with the same care she put in holding on to our history. Bless you and Thank you Ma'am.
This lady is amazing for this! We thank you!
Wow, unbelievable, way to go Elizabeth!
Someone please reach out to Robert F Smith who gave $20 million to the Smithsonian's National African American History & Culture museum. I think he would buy it and donate it to the museum or even create a museum just for her collection which I think would be the way to go!! Thanks for sharing!! God Bless her!
Thank GOD she had the foresight to sell and give the collection a new life while she is still of sound mind and body!!! $10M sounds like an undervaluation especially if ONE Marilyn Monroe dress sold for $5M. Ms. Meaders has decades' worth of priceless history. I hope the Smithsonian or Schomburg Center purchases her collection. ❤️🖤💚
I totally agree. 😀
Agree
yeah 10 million is an insult for this collection.
Wow, bless her for doing this! MY GOD! I pray those do not fall into the hands of hate groups. The DC museum must have this ALL OF IT.
Thank you for this report
90 where? She looks absolutely beautiful! Where are all of the celebrities with millions of dollars to waste on cars and jewelry? No one will place value where we as a people don’t place value. I pray this amazing collection goes for more than 10 million and it finds a worthy home.🙏🏾
i heard that too, she is full functional like a 70 year old
Love this.
So much rich History, I hope that a good African American Museum purchases her treasures and holds tightly to them to teach every generation.
Hey Smithsonian! Call this woman today!
This is such amazing collection of African American History that shall not be forgotten 🙌🏽🎩
Why wouldn't a African American history museum purchase this collection? White people will buy it and get rich off of it!
May I ask a question? Would it be possible to instead of an auction? Maybe there could be a fund set up to create a place for where all would be able to come and observe? With a reasonable fee.
The funds would then help to create books for all to see. I'm just asking?
Also maybe that could also help other grand elders to maybe want to share their treasures to the same said place and to me that would be so great, because then their never forgotten... We're Never Forgotten
I'm just asking a question?
Absolutely inspiring!
What a treasure
Amazing!! I am excited to see who will purchase this. Would love to view every piece. Thx for sharing this wonderful story. Hoping for an update.
Black peoples have really enriched our country!!Me being White born in 1963 I always found them mysterious loved there music dance style!! and cultural differences !! Hopefully they will continue to thrive and pull out of disproportional poverty!!
Mrs. Elizabeth Meaders, you are a Phenomenal Inspirational Queen!!! And your African American collection is beyond astonishing!!!! I pray that your wish to keep this incredible collection together is honored!!! Black History is American History!!!! I humbly thank you beloved beautiful Queen 👑Elizabeth Meaders. You inspire me beyonds words and letters. I love and appreciate you and all that you have done to preserve our history. Btw.... you are soooo beautiful. Age 90 where?!?!?! 😃 👑😍🥰😘❤🩹
I'm so grateful she's not selling it piecemeal... Perfect, forethought!!! I wish I could talk to her. I know what I would do with her collection, purposeful...
This is the history that must be taught in schools, warts and all.
I would love to go to her house it's a history student and history collector dream come true.
dem WP done reveal her adress and made sure we saw the entrance. irresponsible of them.
What a smart lady, great work 👍👍👍👌
This type of history is priceless this is worth more than 10 million we must look at this in a way where else can you get this much of History intact about African-Americans if I was a multi-billionaire I would definitely pay her a billion dollars for this she deserves it.
May Our Father God continue to bless her on her journey.
Oh goodness! I’d love to do the same!
So much history.None of this is in our history books.
Priceless 🏆
Nice, I hope it goes to a Black Museum.
10 Million should be the starting price for this collection..
God bless you..
She is 90 and moving as great as she is 🤎🤎
M.C, Hammer on the $50 bill! get it through congress!
Aspiring
She looks amazing.
Stop the auction and save as a heirloom
Where did she get all this?
Please share
Hopefully she stop the auction and save the collection for offsprings
Remember Martin Luther King and his family have always been Republicans...the party of Lincoln who. freed the slaves in the1860's, just 45 years before , my Scotch ancestors who were. Slaves in British coal mines for centuries in Scotland. Parliament freed my Scottish coal miner kin. They came to Pennsylvania coal mines and fought with the Union Army against Slavery in the Confederacy!
✌️This woman is a treasure! Unfortunately too many racist white people ("not the majority of them ) but ESPECIALLY Republicans don't want treasures like this woman get any publicity. Well they will eventually find out that they CAN'T stop progress! 💪
This info should have been published after the sale. It is a security risk to reveal this info and details of her address. Stop being so trusting people!
Elizabeth Meader
Elon musk is a true African American
I hope this Smithsonian can take this
The problem with teaching history in school, way too much history.
Meh
Uninteresting
