My mother was born in '44. When I became an adult AND educated myself, I finally understood why she had a chip on her shoulder. And also why she moved us to Hawaii. Thanks mom! R.I.P.
Yes this is an amazing story. I'm black and I live in Missouri and have never heard of this it's so crazy that will not talk this in our history books. They don't talk about it in black history month seems our African American history is a little whitewashed leaving out details of important events.
Right on sister! More of us need to stand up! The sad part is that for every 1 of us that stands up, we got 20 of us sucking up!! Sad!!. We up people before reality does it for you!
Carol Anderson (born June 17, 1959) is an American academic. She is the Charles Howard Candler professor of African American Studies at Emory University.[2] Her research focuses on public policy with regards to race, justice, and equality.
Thanks to professor Anderson for a brief and informative description. I have begun reading the first of two books I purchased on Rev. Whitfield he worked with my grandfather in St Louis on a political campaign and rally to address the Howard Lynching. He is one of those men who devoted his life to addressing inequality but sadly is not as well known as others who did less.
May I ask whts the name of the books? I live in St. Louis I've decided to start doing history in my own state it seems like I know more about other states than my own. Crazy

Great story teller and story!! Loved this educator and her demonstrative story telling ability! I’ve listen to her over and over! Wish I was in her class!!
My great grandfather was a tenant farmer in the Bootheel. Similar to a sharecropper, their home was owned by the farmer and their groceries were purchased at his store on credit which was ran by his wife. The farmer's family would pass down their store bought clothes to my cousins. This was as late as the 1970's.
This man was/is great grandfather. My grandmother is the youngest of his 12 kids, she was the first black woman to be a licensed physician in cape, mo.
Powerful story! However, Gave them housing only. When they should have kept fighting for the economic inclusion. With money you can build your own house.
People can think better when they are living in a comfortable place. Money will come later. The goverment did not give them anything that they hadn't already earn. They were over due.

For context when she's talking about the sharecropper wage being 75 cents for 12+ hour workday in the 1930s - according to the US Department of Labor, the average US wage from 1926-1934 was 43 cents per hour. (Source: babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112032654953&view=1up&seq=934)
Interestingly enough I have a book on the Missouri sharecroppers strike, the conditions they lived in were appalling to say the least. It's too bad you didn't have pictures to show the appalling conditions
This lecture is inspiring, I would like to know the name of the lecturer because I am interested in your University but need a role model for inspiration.
Her name is Carol Anderson...Chair of African American Studies at Emory University. As someone else stated, she focuses on public policy relating to race, justice and equality.
Black people have the strongest backbones in the world. From the time slavery was introduced and still today, blacks have not given up. With all kinds of persecution hurled at us still we fight and continually improve our standing in this wicked system. We can thank these and others along this long wicked road who did not give up under any ungodly conditions. One day “The Meek will Inherit the Earth”.
Throughout history the world has witnessed the true trouble makers, but has been complicit to those being effected. However it's a new season and it's time to pay the piper.
There’s a knowledge gap between the African Americans and Africans on the continent. Africans on the continent for long have been oblivious of the struggles of American Americans. Bridging that gap will go a long way in helping Africans worldwide.
The federal government realised that the agricultural sector is producing too much?? That's only a problem for politicians. Working people needed as much cheap food as they could get!!
My family’s surname is Jacobs and I’m struggling where they originate and from what I have figured out that they were freed slaves before 1865, if I’m wrong help me understand cause the only slave owner with our last name doesn’t list my family members.
You can't shame thieves into doing the right thing. Thieves have no integrity and they only love mammon. Ultimate responsibility for this gross injustice lies with the federal government.

My mother was born in '44. When I became an adult AND educated myself, I finally understood why she had a chip on her shoulder. And also why she moved us to Hawaii. Thanks mom! R.I.P.
Not a chip but the white man's foot was on her neck ....as the great Malcolm X said
@lifelove6164 yeah Twice as many White sharecroppers and just about as many Whites lynched. Don't be scared of books.
Absolutely go colonize some Pacific Islanders land
This professor's engaging story telling is beyond captivating!
FACT 💯......
Thank you for sharing our family's unsung hero. Thank you Grandpa Owen Whitfield and Grandma Zella Whitfield for leaving such a great Legacy.
Thankful for ur fmly
Yes this is an amazing story. I'm black and I live in Missouri and have never heard of this it's so crazy that will not talk this in our history books. They don't talk about it in black history month seems our African American history is a little whitewashed leaving out details of important events.
My mom always talked about the Whitfield's, she was a Fleming.

All of these atrocities against us here and abroad is the reason for their declining birthrate.

She makes history so interesting...would love ❤️ to study under Dr. Anderson.
I love your delivery of information that could otherwise be forgotten. Thank you!! 💓🤗🙏👑
This video helped me out with a college paper that I had to write. Thank you! =)
I watched it while pooing and I think it helped with that too.
I would have loved to see some of the footage she spoke of.
Thank you for this. When grown men cry and shed tears major change happens
I could listen to this lady all day.
Thank you for sharing and informing the public with these truthful stories.
She is amazing. I can listen to her everyday
My great-grandparents and family members were sharecroppers in Georgia and Florida on my mom's side of the family.
Thank you for always providing such great information Miss Carol. I read your book White rage and you are amazing.
It's important to study so you can know exactly where you came from. Shalum
I'm grateful and give high honors to my great granddad Jenkins who worked to grow tobacco. Though this hard time.

I grew up in this area (Dexter), and never knew of this, but I can believe it...

they did not have a street address. They rented in unit numbers.
thank you.
I love being taught real history. My small white high school never taught this history

Reparations please!!!
Love her truth .
See what happens when we organize
The Bootheel...where I'm from. Oh, the stories I could tell...😩
When the curses start to switch!!!
Can't wait
And they still think trickle down works the rich people in this country too greedy for that ever to work
Interestingly enough I have a book on the Missouri sharecroppers strike, the conditions they lived in were appalling to say the least. It's too bad you didn't have pictures to show the appalling conditions
She is so amazing.
It was serfdom, and most in the Western Hemisphere (not to mention the rest of the world, communist or not) were also serfs.
The sad part is some of your comments are about how great of a story teller instead of the evil

Tithing Offering and Alms is what those students act in.
That is POWETFUL
To get the full picture of how bad they had it. You really need to read the book.
Throughout history the world has witnessed the true trouble makers, but has been complicit to those being effected. However it's a new season and it's time to pay the piper.
My great granddad was a sharecropper in Texas one year he took all the money and moved to California
MO Sharecroppers Strike of 1939
Exemplary documentary. I had an opportunity to visit a few.
Just outside side of Poplar Bluff MO.
Every thing she's speaking on is in relation to Deuteronomy 28! It's so powerful and so real it's scary! But it's the truth so help us all!
I just want to make sure my mother and my son straight , then help the needy.

The federal government realised that the agricultural sector is producing too much?? That's only a problem for politicians. Working people needed as much cheap food as they could get!!
Can’t to Can’t. Common people can do really uncommon things..
My family’s surname is Jacobs and I’m struggling where they originate and from what I have figured out that they were freed slaves before 1865, if I’m wrong help me understand cause the only slave owner with our last name doesn’t list my family members.
Has she written any books?
Lynn Rubright wrote a book called "Momma's Window" there is also a film out about the sharecroppers called "O Freedom After All"
Very Good.. What Now?
My ancestors were Missouri sharecroppers and crazy I’m still poor haha
But did they get paid they money they were owed?!😡
Why doesn't she have her own TV show?
So they never made the farm owners pay that money back to the government? 🤦🏽♀️
You can't shame thieves into doing the right thing. Thieves have no integrity and they only love mammon. Ultimate responsibility for this gross injustice lies with the federal government.
The bad thing is nothing changed. Corrupted Businesses are still cheating people out of their money and property.
