Brave and smart young woman. History must NEVER be forgotten. It’s what’s led us to this point.
And forgetting it only leads to repeating its errors and unlearned lessons.
@Allison Orwell love Orwell, but w/o the notable instructions of the past we will only repeat its wrongs.
It's people like Sophie that give me hope for the future.
Just lovely, thank you.
God bless her! What determination and perseverance!
Brought tears to my eyes and made me smile all at once
Commitment to truth does that. I cry sometimes at the playing of the national anthem bc I remember the history of life given so men could live in the freedoms we share.
Love her determination
The youth are inspiring 🥰
As well as the folks surrounding her that are compliant w such truth.
Sophie we need more youth like you doing positive things.
I believe character is built not just gifted. Therefore guiding parents and community make the greatest of differences.
Thank you Sophie your parents must be so proud of you 🙏🤗Much love and respect. Leonora
Wisdom ,respect and honor bring pride and joy to anyone .
The trauma we continue to live with each new story. She’s an awesome young lady. Her parents did an amazing job. 😢
@Allison Orwell so is trolling
Way to go , we need to acknowledge the past .... So it's not repeated.
Yes, we should do the same for Channon Christian and Christopher Newson.
Amen!
I admire what Sophie did. I think her actions give us hope for a brighter future.
BRILLIANT 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Everyone can/should have an impact on humanity. Thank You Sophie K.
This story is too precious for words. All of your diligence ensures that these honored souls will not be forgotten 🙏🌷🙏
Well done young lady. Well done.
Good for her for nudging her town to have the difficult conversation about their racist past and moving on from it. 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
That is how you raise kids. That is how you deal with a racist past … head on. You acknowledge it, you don’t look away and you don’t forget those affected. She’s an amazing young American woman. So proud.
Bravo to Sophie and her community for doing GOOD.
Remembering and acknowledging are the beginning of true healing.
Wow... 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Bravo! How often has one person addressed a buried injustice and delivered a community and national healing. Acts such as this, big and small, are the primary drivers of Human Evolution.
I'd say it was personal character rather than general evolution.
@@ericworiax1277 Hi. I edited my comment. I agree with you. And, acts like this, I believe, are the catalysts of human evolution.
God bless that determined young woman. And good for that community for supporting her and her mission.
God bless her
Sophie. The World waits to see what you do next. Steve. Thanks. Your segments renew my faith in humanity. Hope always wins.
That 'a girl! Nice work.
Great young woman.
YES!
Priceless,
If only we can get the rest of the country, on the same page...
Bravo young lady, bravo!
Thank you!
Wow she she is borne with strong humanity God blessed her but the Comunity is wonderful work with her ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️she is the future sunshine of humanity. One of the best shows is this🙏☀️
Keep going kid.
May the men who were lynched rest in peace 🕊️❤️🇺🇲
When most criticized him, Kaepernick was RIGHT ALL ALONG.
Beautiful bench! Hate will wash away, slowly but inevitability
Let's hope so
If it’s important to remember unpleasant things, then why all across the country monuments are removed? All history is important! Unpleasant monuments provoke thought , conversation & education. It isn’t whether you agree or disagree! It’s how you move forward.
I say keep the monuments and put a plaque explaining the horrors of slavery and how the Confederates were traitors who wanted to split the union.
Amen.
I think you should research when and why those statues were erected and look in your heart to understand why you want to keep them.
Both of you
@@youreaquickone
All history has a purpose not just history that doesn’t heart your feelings!
I believe the historical marker has a spelling mistake. It should be latter not late. We need more young people in this country to care and make a difference. Would have liked to been able to read the bench inscription.
One of the murdered men, Daniel Harrison, Jr. has his name misspelled on the memorial bench. It is spelled Harris, should be Harrison.
Can be googled to see the bench. Klopperman...Jewish name? Usually concerned with social justice issues.
Would love to see the name of the book, that was hidden behind a furnace, about this horrific, horrifying crime.....needs to become more well known, maybe even a movie about it. Along the lines of the Emmett Till story.
The Harrison family really took a hit that day, with three of their men being murdered.....two sons and their father....oh my.....
🌹
Indiana had several lynchings during that time.
Southern Indiana is just northern Mississippi.
i was expecting some sort of justice and reparations to the families. it ended with a bench.
About Episode 44: I totally agree with history, no matter how painful, should be remembered so it will never be repeated. But why is that fact applauded for a fraction of the American people. Therefore, no statue should be torn down, no place should be renamed, no history rewritten for any reason. Sooo who is going to pay to have history replaced that has been torn down the last few years. What is right for one is right for ALL.
I think you should research when and why those statues were erected and look in your heart to understand why you want to keep them.
@@youreaquickone Exactly! The vast majority of Civil War statutes weren't erected until long after the war was over and many were put up in direct response to opposition of the Civil Rights Movement. It was also an attempt to reshape the narrative of what the Civil War was really about and push a segregationist agenda under the guise of "preserving Southern Heritage."
Consider when those statues were erected (super important) then research "subjugation" and hopefully you'll find the answer. May those statues never be replaced.
NEVER forget it's the evil powers behind the dark hours of history and it is God Who DRIVES our progress.
didn't know the BBC gangbang had been going on for that long. appreciate ya'll for the history lesson.
If this is classified as ‘woke’, I’ll take woke.
Gotta love PRO life Christians
Will the south replace confederate monuments with memorials?
I like her hair
IT LOOKS NASTY AND UNWASHED.
@@TheresaPowers why don't you leave your hatred somewhere else
@Barimus B sure. Love how you racists hide like that “it’s just about hair, nothing else! We promise!” Gt f oh!
@@barimusb5273 well I think it was unkind and unnecessary, and it sounded hateful to me....and that's my opinion.
@@TheresaPowers your mouth is nasty and unwashed. Have a great day!
Now that is beautiful and hopeful.

Correction. The county is 95% European-Americans. Not white.
🙄
Wonder if any of the lynchers were the religion or culture Kanye blames for everything. Just wondering.
I wonder if the men who were lynched were actually guilty.
@@nghtwtchmn129 Of course you would wonder that.
😂😂😂 I don’t think Jewish people lived there at that time
No Christians the Ted Cruz pro life kind
@@gerardoresendiz6731 Jews have lived in the South since the 16th Century.
What’s the evidence that they didn’t do it?
Here’s the story. They allegedly held up a brothel (no sexual assault$, allegedly being the key word since they were murdered (with the father being dismembered) before they could face any sort of trial that could prove their guilt/innocence.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_Posey_County,_Indiana
@@OkieDoke They allegedly robbed a brothel. No mention of rape(that false accusation might have riled up the mob to lynch the men who never had their day in court)
THE TRUMPICANS HATE THIS ITS CRT
This was horrible horrible and I remember many other hangings mentioned thru history 😢😢😢I live in Kentucky and also similar Hangings have occurred! “The Mason Dixon Line”!!!🥲🥲😞🥲 Hangings and Bibles 😢
