Education written by slave masters who have never spoken the truth is key? How do we so easily believe the things they write? The bible says they are liars, my God help us!!
Be because you was so what exactly what they wanted you to but taught you how to be a good old slave s school won't teach you everything in life but to slave for someone else you want become a millionaire that's for sure if and indoctrinate that's how they put the shackles on your brain control wake up people
Beautiful documentary that reminds you, that no matter what evil comes against you, as long as God is in you, you will win. "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in this world."
@@KitsapLady The old testament was in Hebrew. They translate as best as they can. God DOES NOT create evil. Satan does. That's not God's character at all. God is good but He is Just. People send themselves to hell by not accepting Christ as Lord.
Almost all life north of the Dixie South was Hush Hush. Don't mention positives, so they may thrn blame the other for what they did. Plus good stories don't drive division, and they need that to keep their loyal voters angry enough to be calmed by their lies believing they are only good if considered loyal. Kind of like Electoral Slavery?!?
....tell them to get rid of their Bro attitude in school and do well in school, rather than saying, doing well in school is "acting white." a really dumb attitude....get rid of it, or else, perish, yo!
@@ShaneM420 I read about it while attending Knoxville College, an HBCU in Tennessee in 1988. And I shared this knowledge with my kids years ago. Plus other facts about black history here in America.
I feel your pain inside and out. I'm in tears now because of the sufferings that we continue to have to endure. BUT REALIZE THE POWER THAT GOD HAS PUT IN US AS A PEOPLE! WE WILL CONTINUE TO OVERCOME WITH GOD AS OUR PROTECTOR! BELIEVE THAT!!!!
@@karenblueford9082 you know it was amazing my parents told me they had two kid to start they were amazed the second born child looked exactly like there grand father they were in tears and they decided to had more kids because they wanted thete ancestors to relive there lives again which they ended up having 7 kids. The way we can show respect is to have more kids because that's purpose of life and our ancestors will never be forgotten.
If I'm not mistaken, Uncle Tom was beaten to near death yet would not give up the location of runaway slaves. He was a true Christian who was willing to die for the cause of black liberation and human liberation. We need more human beings like Uncle Tom.
@@rubylee446 why be a Christian. Uncle Tom was a true Israelite..These are the chosen people of the Most High Yahuah, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob..
As a white American, I surely never will understand what blacks have went through, what they are going through, or what they may anticipate going through. However I do know when I have been introduced to a great human being, no matter what the color skin that person happens to have. I feel like I have just been introduced to one of the best of the best as I have just met Mr. Josiah Henson. After watching and learning about him and his struggles, faith and triumphs, this has to be the most inspirational people who ever walked on earth. Inspirational to every culture if learned. Why this book isn't mandatory and or taught in every school is a mystery to me. Thanks for the education and sharing such a " thought" changing true story.
Your skin color doesnt deprave you of understanding anything. What you wrote is utter nonsense from a person who hates himself for something someone else did. Snap out f it
I'm English and agree that Josiah Henson is an inspiration to all human beings, whatever our background. Another incredible hero who escaped slavery, and then rescued hundreds of other people, was Harriet Tubman. Search "A Woman Called Moses" full movie. It's in two parts, over three hours altogether. Highly recommended!!!
This should be taught in our schools. So proud of Mr. Henson's accomplishments! Moreover, the truth behind the book and the later distortions is so very important!
I'm so glad I'd taken time out ti finished this documentary. First, I started to get angry but at the end, I realized that God is an on time God. Never give up and keep the faith. Awesome story.
I'm sorry but, I cannot align with what ever else he may have done after his refusing to allow his fellow slaves freedom (while in Ohio) out of loyalty to his master!?
@@kkbreeze Not out of loyalty to his master, out of loyalty to truth and God. Out of misplaced faith in his master, the same that would betray him. Without the travel he would not have reached the destination he later did in life where he actively freed other slaves.
Thank you for your comment because as I'm listening. I'm also reading comments. I was about to stop video. If i do, i will definitely go back to it. We are truly GOD'S CHOSEN. PPL despite of our seem to be cursed life. He knows what we know not.
I’m stunned. I’m at a loss of words. I had to pause this numerous times in disbelief & anger. Just SMH over & over. 🤦🏾♂️ All those years I/we referenced Uncle Tom in our community, my goodness. I had never heard of him. It goes to show what you don’t know can hurt you. It’s imperative we learn the past for a better future. God blessed Mr Henson.
He was still quite literally an Uncle Tom. His acts near his death do not change that for me. Uncle Tom is BIGGER as a symbolic figure than Josiah Henson. Let's take Malcolm's X example of what a Uncle Tom or House Neg*o was shall we? Henson was an overseer for his white master. Check. When field slaves would run to him and tell him to run away, 'what place is better than here.' Denied his comrades freedom because of his blind incompetent loyalty to monsters and cowardice. He was very well a Uncle Tom by nothing else of definition.
@@Votebritishthere were no white slaves in America. What those were called were indentured servants who signed contacts, knew what tf they were doing or going.... The trans Atlantic Slave trade is not that.
My parents made my brother, sister and I to read uncle Tom's cabin, almost as soon as we could read. It has made a huge impression on me. I'm now 70 and I still remember.
Mr. Josiah Henson is one of these rare men in history who though conflicted and ashamed of some of the choices he made in life was still a righteous God fearing man...who strived to live his life as a man of integrity, honor, trustworthiness and respect.
Jenny Wren. Yes, ashamed. Shame is a very real and necessary emotion to help us grow in love, compassion and disciplines us to learn how to respect each other. Many of us behave the way we do because we have not learned how to deal with the emotion of shame. It is delusional to think that Mr. Josiah Henson never felt shame when opportunity was there for him to make different decisions. He learned better about the human nature of men and chose to do better and make a difference. This is a powerful lesson that stems from the emotion of shame. Be blessed!
History teaches us to never forget. I feel this is the problem with a lot of people nowadays they forget this part of history. I just couldn't imaging being sold to the highest bidder. SMDH thank you for the documentary. I lived near Rockville, MD in Bethesda and right off Old Georgetown Road there is a road named after Josiah Henson Parkway, in addition there is also the Josiah Henson Park and Museum, I was under the assumption that because the area is mostly Jewish, I thought this was a big name in Jewish History, come to find out it was about this great man.
Thank you for watching! If you're interested in more content like this we recommend our series, "Africa in the Bible". Here is a direct link to the first chapter: th-cam.com/video/RLX92CI5Loo/w-d-xo.html
I am so glad I was allowed to read this book in Jr.High.and I grew up in the South in the '50s. I saw the Civil Right Movement in the 60s. Saw Pres. KENNEDY in parade in San Antonio the day before he died. God bless the teachers who dared and encouraged the students to create change.
I luv this video because not only does it teach people who didn't know their history, it also teaches you how to live and overcome being oppressed and gives great strength to all nationalities.
So happy to learn about the REAL 'Uncle Tom'. Thanks so much for educating us about him - what an amazing, courageous and admirable man Josiah Henson was!
So glad to hear that man made it to freedom, I don't understand how any human being think they have the right to own another. Not just America, but thousands of years all over the world.
I so agree with you! How could anyone stand their conscience if they have one, by making someone else a slave and with such horrendous treatment! The Bible makes it clear, we are all sons and daughters of God and equal in his sight!
True, as the bible teaches that men's heart are evil so my take is, if we're capable of cannibalism then the possibility for unimaginable evil is possible...just saying 🙏

Realizing what some people went through back then will make us stronger today.The book Uncle Toms Cabin opened up a lot of eyes. Similar to the internet.
Viewing this documentary was so heartwarming. This man and his family endured much, but GOD! GOD Bless this man, his life, life lessons, his family and the ability to overcome every betrayal.❤️🙌🏾🙏🏾✝️
A very, very pleasant/ powerful surprise, a nice start on this Saturday morning ; may God Almighty continue to bless everyone/ anyone, who were all connected with this production. 🤗
Excellent educational program! I wish all students here in the 🇺🇸 would see this in their classrooms. This Josiah was a man of honor to be emulated in our world today. Thank You. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I read this book on my own merit back in elementary school, 94 or 95. It was as awesome book; now, as an adult I believe I’m going to re-read it especially at this juncture in my life. Thank you ODB for this remembrance.
i graduated high school in 95, but around that time while still in high school I also ready the book on my own merit. great reading for a high schooler.
Our Creator God,is always with us in whatever the evil one throws at us,faith, believe and trust him is all that's required!!! It's beyond human understanding how anyone survived such cruelty! If not for the Grace of GOD 🙏🙏😭

A shame in our history. So sorry we treated people so badly. He is my brother in humanity and in Christ. Will see him one day. Wish we could learn from his his story.

This great man's story should be told more often bcz for as long as I can remember when I hear people call somebody an uncle Tom it's like they use it as an insult, now after hearing this GREAT man's story to be called an uncle Tom is a compliment and should be proud of it, may God bless his decentants🙏💖
Josiah Henson couldn't read could not write because back then it was the law that no black people could be educated but yet by the grace of God that made him the man that he was for Jesse Lee Peterson in these black conservatives Like Larry Elder Candace Owens Armstrong Williams diamond and silk Brandon Tatum these are supporters of white supremacy who are proud to be called sellouts not Heroes like mr. Henson
@@hendricktheodule9793WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? AND ARE YOU CALLING ME WICKED?? YOU SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL, AND WHEN I GO TO CHURCH, I DON'T LEAVE MY HOUSE! YOU GOT THAT? ENOUGH OF POPCORN PASTORS.
I couldn't finish listening to this documentary. The beatings and torture my ancestors endured and the terror they lived under day and night makes me too emotional. I literally broke down when the narrator said Josiah was beaten unconscious with a stick when he was caught with a book. I look at some of my black brothers and sisters today, especially the youth, drop out of school or have no desire to further their education. They end up with low paying jobs and want to cry racism without putting forth an effort to try and better their life. I'm hoping and praying for the youth of today.
The only way forward is to let go of your emotion. Forgiveness is the only thing that can set anyone free. If you can't forgive, you'll continue to be a slave to your emotions and thoughts. American slavery wasn't anywhere close to as brutal as the slavery in the Roman times or even the 1940s in the middle east. The only reason you're able to feel bad about American slavery is because we've abolished it and reject any good about it.
@brad cable Nowhere in my comment did I imply or say I held a grudge against anyone because of slavery. You obviously don't know anything about black history as it pertains to the transatlantic slavery to the Americas.
What a soul. God Bless him. Thank you for clarifying the phrase uncle Tom. Complete respect to him and all those who fought and survived those times. Love from India🤍🧘🙏
Wow now I understand the negative notion especially amongst African Americans with the name Uncle Tom. Josiah's story is amazing. God freed him because Josiah kept his faith in him!!
Thank you Lord for examples such as Mr. Henson, gifted with courage and tenacity. Can’t wait to worship our Christ while standing shoulder to shoulder with him one day! 💖✝️

I am just astounded at what has transpired in the past...there are no words...and...I wish I could remedy these truths...they hurt me inside...as a deep empath, I feel the pain...and it is all so sad...
I took it upon myself to read Uncle Tom's Cabin, in my early 70s to get a better understanding of this point of history he was not a sell out to his people. Very easy for words to change its meanings over time. But always return to the roots
This is a fascinating little documentary. My mom often talk about how there was a time when you prayed in school. I didnt believe her at 1st. It's also mind blowing how "uncle Tom" is still used in a negative term to this day.
Yes, I remember when every school day began with prayer and Bible reading! I also remember that awful year when both were unceremoniously taken out of our schools. And now what do have? Nothing but filth and lies being taught our precious children! Shame on us!
What do you think God thought of prayer in school when black people were told they couldn't go to school with whites? Where was He in that? How long did we think this could go on as a nation ? Prayer changes things! God is not in hypocrisy! You can't continue to treat people horribly..pray...say the commandments and then say ...Oh, separate but equal and think God is in the schools.!!!!! Come on and remember that He is a just God. If we begin to treat others how we want to be treated, maybe we can begin to get some where. Prayer in school to Christ is needed! Lets do it right this time without all the discrimination!
In my school in London UK in the early 70's, we learned all about the Slave Trade, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mr Frederick Douglas who has remained a hero of mine. Then we all watched "Roots" and Miss Jane Pitman on TV which had a tremendous impact on us and lead to many vibrant discussions in class. We also started the school day with hymns and prayer. We were classed as "poor" kids but we were lucky that we had a good mix of old skool teachers and young progressive's.
This documentary is absolutely beautiful ❤️ I have never been able to read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. The book has been banned and I think that’s TERRIBLE!! 💕🙏🙏
@@kanmoore2793 Jesus said if u don't forgive that God in heaven won't forgive u so if u are holding a grudge God is holding a bigger grudge against you
I watched the video and as a child often heard the term "Uncle Tom" as a negative term, watching the video now I understand what the term Uncle Tom, means, I'm sure the slaves that lost their chance at freedom felt the same way. hence the term " Uncle Tom".
Everyone in the world lives with regrets of what we should have done with one part of our lives or another; however, it’s what you do with those regrets that makes a man.
Thanks for sharing. I truly enjoyed watching this documentary. We are never to old to learn. We need more documentary like this, we as people need to know our history. Yes is was terrible time but greatness came out in too.

Kind of like Electoral Slavery?!?
Was taught the story of this an interesting 6th grade. This introduction came in the early 70's.
Because this is a neo liberal telling of Henson's life. No admittance to the whippings he oversaw.
It was actually mentioned in a 1974 episode of The Jeffersons. That's the first time I had heard of him.
Josiah Henson's life should be taught to us all and especially black children. All these years! Uncle tom is great man

I feel like I have just been introduced to one of the best of the best as I have just met Mr. Josiah Henson. After watching and learning about him and his struggles, faith and triumphs, this has to be the most inspirational people who ever walked on earth. Inspirational to every culture if learned. Why this book isn't mandatory and or taught in every school is a mystery to me. Thanks for the education and sharing such a " thought" changing true story.

Another incredible hero who escaped slavery, and then rescued hundreds of other people, was Harriet Tubman. Search "A Woman Called Moses" full movie. It's in two parts, over three hours altogether. Highly recommended!!!
This should be taught in our schools. So proud of Mr. Henson's accomplishments! Moreover, the truth behind the book and the later distortions is so very important!
Hey 😊 0zzzzxxxqqwà
As long as Nat Turner is taught too I'm fine. Then we can compare why Henson is still an Uncle Tom by default amongst the Black community
I'm so glad I'd taken time out ti finished this documentary. First, I started to get angry but at the end, I realized that God is an on time God. Never give up and keep the faith. Awesome story.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm sorry but, I cannot align with what ever else he may have done after his refusing to allow his fellow slaves freedom (while in Ohio) out of loyalty to his master!?
@@kkbreeze Not out of loyalty to his master, out of loyalty to truth and God. Out of misplaced faith in his master, the same that would betray him. Without the travel he would not have reached the destination he later did in life where he actively freed other slaves.
Thank you for your comment because as I'm listening. I'm also reading comments. I was about to stop video. If i do, i will definitely go back to it. We are truly GOD'S CHOSEN. PPL despite of our seem to be cursed life. He knows what we know not.
Love your comment NEVER GIVE UP IS IS MY MOTTO!! Thank you
This was very good. Thank you.
I’m stunned. I’m at a loss of words. I had to pause this numerous times in disbelief & anger. Just SMH over & over. 🤦🏾♂️ All those years I/we referenced Uncle Tom in our community, my goodness. I had never heard of him. It goes to show what you don’t know can hurt you. It’s imperative we learn the past for a better future. God blessed Mr Henson.
So you do understand now that every story or believe should be investigated for truth.
angry shocked about what?
there were white slaves too or does this not anger you?
He was still quite literally an Uncle Tom. His acts near his death do not change that for me. Uncle Tom is BIGGER as a symbolic figure than Josiah Henson. Let's take Malcolm's X example of what a Uncle Tom or House Neg*o was shall we?
Henson was an overseer for his white master. Check.
When field slaves would run to him and tell him to run away, 'what place is better than here.'
Denied his comrades freedom because of his blind incompetent loyalty to monsters and cowardice. He was very well a Uncle Tom by nothing else of definition.
@@Votebritishthere were no white slaves in America. What those were called were indentured servants who signed contacts, knew what tf they were doing or going.... The trans Atlantic Slave trade is not that.
@@ampdatruth.x4753 you definitely right! He kept his word to his master he treated them so brutally.
My parents made my brother, sister and I to read uncle Tom's cabin, almost as soon as we could read. It has made a huge impression on me. I'm now 70 and I still remember.
All these people of these forefather needs to READ THIS it ought to be REQUIRED for POLICE -many other people with short sight
THATS GREAT I DIDNT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT THE BOOK TILL I WAS GROWN. WHEN I DISCOVERED IT WAS GREAT IVE READ IT 3 TIMES
Thank you Uncle Tom for being a hero to your family and your people.

Lol
Mr. Josiah Henson is one of these rare men in history who though conflicted and ashamed of some of the choices he made in life was still a righteous God fearing man...who strived to live his life as a man of integrity, honor, trustworthiness and respect.
Amen 🙏
Facts
"Ashamed" ??? Delusional
Jenny Wren. Yes, ashamed. Shame is a very real and necessary emotion to help us grow in love, compassion and disciplines us to learn how to respect each other. Many of us behave the way we do because we have not learned how to deal with the emotion of shame. It is delusional to think that Mr. Josiah Henson never felt shame when opportunity was there for him to make different decisions. He learned better about the human nature of men and chose to do better and make a difference. This is a powerful lesson that stems from the emotion of shame. Be blessed!
His integrity and honesty meant the doom of other slaves. Those slaves probably lived a miserable 😩 life in the Deep South.
History teaches us to never forget. I feel this is the problem with a lot of people nowadays they forget this part of history. I just couldn't imaging being sold to the highest bidder. SMDH thank you for the documentary. I lived near Rockville, MD in Bethesda and right off Old Georgetown Road there is a road named after Josiah Henson Parkway, in addition there is also the Josiah Henson Park and Museum, I was under the assumption that because the area is mostly Jewish, I thought this was a big name in Jewish History, come to find out it was about this great man.
😊🎉😂.
What a great legacy Josiah Henson left for his loved ones. Well written & presented. Thank you !!!
Thank you for watching! If you're interested in more content like this we recommend our series, "Africa in the Bible". Here is a direct link to the first chapter: th-cam.com/video/RLX92CI5Loo/w-d-xo.html
I am so glad I was allowed to read this book in Jr.High.and I grew up in the South in the '50s. I saw the Civil Right Movement in the 60s. Saw Pres. KENNEDY in parade in San Antonio the day before he died. God bless the teachers who dared and encouraged the students to create change.
President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas Texas, November 1962.
How old are you?
Thank you for sharing. I can't find the words to say to xpress how much this story had me in awe.
This is a true testimony to never give up. Thanks for sharing 👍
Absolutely!

I luv this video because not only does it teach people who didn't know their history, it also teaches you how to live and overcome being oppressed and gives great strength to all nationalities.
What???
What? Did you even watch the full video?
So happy to learn about the REAL 'Uncle Tom'. Thanks so much for educating us about him - what an amazing, courageous and admirable man Josiah Henson was!
Thank you Rev. Josiah Henson for your service to God and mankind.
YES IM SURE HE IS IN HEAVEN
So glad to hear that man made it to freedom, I don't understand how any human being think they have the right to own another. Not just America, but thousands of years all over the world.
I so agree with you! How could anyone stand their conscience if they have one, by making someone else a slave and with such horrendous treatment! The Bible makes it clear, we are all sons and daughters of God and equal in his sight!
They used the Bible as their justification to own slaves.
True, as the bible teaches that men's heart are evil so my take is, if we're capable of cannibalism then the possibility for unimaginable evil is possible...just saying 🙏
A truly remarkable documentary, what an amazing man, the kind of Christian we should all strive to be.
Thanks very much for sharing!

I’m thanking God for Mr.Josiah Henson. A true man Of Strong Faithfulness and courageous that never wavered.
Be truthfull, make sure you mean the things you say
Realizing what some people went through back then will make us stronger today.The book Uncle Toms Cabin opened up a lot of eyes. Similar to the internet.
.
I read Uncle Tom’s Cabin three times
BACK then? Makes it easy to focus on the past and think we have made progress.
Great story .. can I have the narrative’s voice ( Steven Cook) ? … so smooth and very nice to listen to …. He can talk all night / day to me
@@MamaKatt are you implying that we haven't made progress?
Viewing this documentary was so heartwarming. This man and his family endured much, but GOD! GOD Bless this man, his life, life lessons, his family and the ability to overcome every betrayal.❤️🙌🏾🙏🏾✝️
A very, very pleasant/ powerful surprise, a nice start on this Saturday morning ; may God Almighty continue to bless everyone/ anyone, who were all connected with this production. 🤗
I'm so glad my daughter introduce me me to the truth of our history thank you so much God bless you all
What a remarkable man! So grateful to hear about his actual life and the hx of Uncle Toms Cabin
YES, HE WAS! SAD MORE PEOPLE WON'T TAKE TIME TO GET TO KNOW HIS LIFE......

Teach it to them at home, it’s not hard.
Heart -melting story of joshia Henson,I have learned a lot to your story.Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching, glory to our God!
I read this book on my own merit back in elementary school, 94 or 95. It was as awesome book; now, as an adult I believe I’m going to re-read it especially at this juncture in my life. Thank you ODB for this remembrance.
You're welcome, Nurse Raqki Joie.
i graduated high school in 95, but around that time while still in high school I also ready the book on my own merit. great reading for a high schooler.

Wow! Lots to learn from this man's journey.
Pretty amazing!
Knowing the history and sacrifices of your people is more precious than all the earth's treasures.
Yes indeed!!!
That's about as racist a statement as I've ever heard
Thank you for sharing. I shall never regard Uncle Tom in a negative connotation, again.
That was beautiful.. I had no idea where the “Uncle Tom” phase came from exactly.. I’ll never use it again and I’ll never look at it the same !!
It's no different than using nigga
Realistically. Uncle Tom is an overtly racsist term applied to Africans who are NOT racist enough to be accepted by the social hustlers.
That part
It is incredible!!
Hardships and sadness
Beautiful; however sad as well
I am a decendent of the Henson family using my Rev. Henson as a way to create a dissertation on black masculinity.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Pray all goes well for you in the name of Jesus 🙏🏾
If you like honesty like this great man check out John Newton.
You mean black men like Frederick Douglass who married a white woman? Asking for a friend.
Actually that’s awesome to be able to trace your roots like that
This great man's story should be told more often bcz for as long as I can remember when I hear people call somebody an uncle Tom it's like they use it as an insult, now after hearing this GREAT man's story to be called an uncle Tom is a compliment and should be proud of it, may God bless his decentants🙏💖
Mr Josiah Henson was a man of GOD.For that day.And he is helping us today. God never dies he keeps on l living through those that love him.
Josiah Henson couldn't read could not write because back then it was the law that no black people could be educated but yet by the grace of God that made him the man that he was for Jesse Lee Peterson in these black conservatives Like Larry Elder Candace Owens Armstrong Williams diamond and silk Brandon Tatum these are supporters of white supremacy who are proud to be called sellouts not Heroes like mr. Henson

I never thought of myself as the most ignorant person I knew, until I watched this. Thank you!
I couldn't finish listening to this documentary. The beatings and torture my ancestors endured and the terror they lived under day and night makes me too emotional. I literally broke down when the narrator said Josiah was beaten unconscious with a stick when he was caught with a book. I look at some of my black brothers and sisters today, especially the youth, drop out of school or have no desire to further their education. They end up with low paying jobs and want to cry racism without putting forth an effort to try and better their life. I'm hoping and praying for the youth of today.
The only way forward is to let go of your emotion. Forgiveness is the only thing that can set anyone free. If you can't forgive, you'll continue to be a slave to your emotions and thoughts. American slavery wasn't anywhere close to as brutal as the slavery in the Roman times or even the 1940s in the middle east. The only reason you're able to feel bad about American slavery is because we've abolished it and reject any good about it.
@brad cable Nowhere in my comment did I imply or say I held a grudge against anyone because of slavery. You obviously don't know anything about black history as it pertains to the transatlantic slavery to the Americas.
Being so upset that you can't watch a bit about history means you resent something. Forgiveness is the only way to be happy.
@brad cable No, it doesn't.
@@seaor2k122 it does if you truly forgive
As a 57 year old white woman I love this SAD History. God bless Josiah and his family
It is Sad,but it is American History

I am just astounded at what has transpired in the past...there are no words...and...I wish I could remedy these truths...they hurt me inside...as a deep empath, I feel the pain...and it is all so sad...
Have you noticed that people of the past put their faith in God rather than themselves.
Very good detailed step by step information. Thank you so very much for sharing.
I took it upon myself to read Uncle Tom's Cabin, in my early 70s to get a better understanding of this point of history he was not a sell out to his people. Very easy for words to change its meanings over time. But always return to the roots
A very good documentary, it was very informative.
This is a fascinating little documentary. My mom often talk about how there was a time when you prayed in school. I didnt believe her at 1st. It's also mind blowing how "uncle Tom" is still used in a negative term to this day.
Thanks for sharing with us, Corrynthia.
Yes, I remember when every school day began with prayer and Bible reading! I also remember that awful year when both were unceremoniously taken out of our schools. And now what do have? Nothing but filth and lies being taught our precious children! Shame on us!
@@lorrainemagarian2677 Wow. Then Pray is one thing they definitely need to bring back today in schools!
What do you think God thought of prayer in school when black people were told they couldn't go to school with whites? Where was He in that? How long did we think this could go on as a nation ? Prayer changes things! God is not in hypocrisy! You can't continue to treat people horribly..pray...say the commandments and then say ...Oh, separate but equal and think God is in the schools.!!!!! Come on and remember that He is a just God. If we begin to treat others how we want to be treated, maybe we can begin to get some where. Prayer in school to Christ is needed! Lets do it right this time without all the discrimination!
In my school in London UK in the early 70's, we learned all about the Slave Trade, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mr Frederick Douglas who has remained a hero of mine. Then we all watched "Roots" and Miss Jane Pitman on TV which had a tremendous impact on us and lead to many vibrant discussions in class. We also started the school day with hymns and prayer. We were classed as "poor" kids but we were lucky that we had a good mix of old skool teachers and young progressive's.
Thank you so much for this history in full. Knowing only portions destroys the truth. I’m very grateful for this documentary.
An amazing story. Thank you for posting it😊😊
This documentary is absolutely beautiful ❤️ I have never been able to read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. The book has been banned and I think that’s TERRIBLE!! 💕🙏🙏

wow another Amazing man.
Beautiful documentary
I watched the video and as a child often heard the term "Uncle Tom" as a negative term, watching the video now I understand what the term Uncle Tom, means, I'm sure the slaves that lost their chance at freedom felt the same way. hence the term " Uncle Tom".
hmm...it may be as mentioned in the @37:00 ish mark, where the story & character were dramatically changed in the popular plays
Everyone in the world lives with regrets of what we should have done with one part of our lives or another; however, it’s what you do with those regrets that makes a man.

Thanks for sharing. I truly enjoyed watching this documentary. We are never to old to learn. We need more documentary like this, we as people need to know our history. Yes is was terrible time but greatness came out in too.
