    @5:48 "There is NO RACISM ON DEATH ROW." Is that where we humans NEED TO BE to finally realize that we are all in this together. If we don't purposefully make a choice to love one another, then what????

    Thankyou Oprah for this programme. It is a great blessing and humbling to hear Ray’s moving story. May he live a peaceful and happy life and for many many to hear his story how he held on to the Lord. Jesus will tell him ‘well done thou true and faithful servant enter into the joy of your Lord’

    Just returned from seeing the movie Just Mercy where Mr. Hinton was portrayed and I must say very heartwarming and sad all at the same time. My heart definitely goes out to him for all that he endured during his 30yrs on death row. Thank the Lord for keeping him during that dark time in his life. This terrible experience has given him purpose and God has used it for his glory. I pray in Jesus name that he will have success and that God will restore him completely for the remaining of his days. Although he was innocent from the beginning the Lord allowed him to go thru what he did for his purpose and plan. Just as Job didn't do anything either yet God allowed him to go thru. God bless u Mr Hinton. Your story truly has blessed millions.

    I hope I want to say God bless him Lester Lester for what he's been through I can't even imagine somebody being locked up for 30 years out of their life like that but this happens every day on death row innocent people are being locked up for nothing wrong. They didn't even do wrong and now God bless him is just God was holding him all the time and all I can take out of this is just got when we when God is with you who can be against you

  • @andreabutts8697
    @andreabutts8697 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oprah, you are quite special for giving this man the platform to share his story. May GOD truly bless you for this! I could share a lot of things with you that most people would love to hear from you. I myself like mr. Ray have a mind that escaped to other places in life. I have lived such a life of neglect, abuse and Trauma until it makes you so smart to the things in life. I am so alert as to my surroundings emotionally as well as physically. When you get beat up in life emotionally and physically it makes you open up your heart, your eyes and your very soul to a lot of things. never to be the victim of the same situation twice. Oh my God it's the stuff I wish I could share with you. Just mind-blowing! Truly I wish to God I could share these things with you. You would thank me. I do not even need the recognition for these things. It is some things that would make this world in which we live such a better place to live. Truly. There's so much stuff I have in my mind and my heart I always said oh my God if I could just get to Oprah. The world listens to her. If I could tell her these things she could share them with the world and then we would have a better place to live in society. Oh my God please, if you ever want to talk to me contact me. I have some things to share that are life altering for the whole world. This Little town I came from in North Carolina has taught me so much. Living a hard life can make you or break you. You can make your mind up that you will not be a product of what you grew up in. Instead you will be a success story. Even without wearing a robe of a lawyer, doctor or judge

    Unbelievable story but I know it's true it does not surprise me ,that the state of Alabama didn't compensate him or apologize. No amount of money in this world could bring back the 30 Precious Years this man lost.

    I already brought that book. Read it in tears and prayed for Ray. I love your faith in Christ Jesus. Our God is not a God of loses I believe some how he will bless you many folds in ways that he only know. I feel like I know Holman prison in and out. And Lester oooooh what a friend. He has really challenged me and I feel so inadequate as a friend to my friends.

    This man's story shows how wicked and satanic this world is. The minds and hearts of demons who have sexual orgasms off the suffering and injust of another human being can never change.

  • @courtneyraiyn-eshaiyn7815
    @courtneyraiyn-eshaiyn7815 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So 30 years and he was never close to being actually killed by the state. They just hung it over his head every day for 30 years. That is SICKENING. Alabama, you better pay up! This man has earned his millions!! This is just so so sad. My heart breaks for him. Death row is the WORST place to be in prison. It is solitary confinement day after day. One shower a week IF the guard feels like it. They also get the worst/leftover of the prison "food". I'm not proud to say I am from Alabama anymore.

    "The greatest want of the world is the want of men - men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin by its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall."

    Everyday Ray left that crappy 5x7 cell... (mentally).
    That's just proof positive that our mind CAN be a friend, when we control it and use it for higher, more beautiful thinking. (Not stinking thinking.)
    There are yogis that live in very tight small caves voluntarily in the Himalayas for example that may meditate for great lengths of time on higher spiritual realms. They transcend the material bodily situation by mental strength of character and develop relationships just as Ray did. I know , I DO KNOW, that a yogi chooses this, and Ray was forced unwillingly. The point is even so-called free people can be in a mental hell by their mind, and a locked up person can be free mentally.
    This is where books or scriptural knowledge or a blessed mother like Ray's are the treasure house of salvation.
    Bhagavad-Gita the Song of God tells us that the mind can be the best friend or the worst enemy. I'm glad Ray got that reading club together.

    Dear Pennsylvania Governor,
    We beg you, PLEASE correct this SEVERE sentencing disparity. Please grant lesser conviction with time served to Mike Swift. The victim's widow and children continue to support Mike Swift's Innocence of First-Degree Murder. And, the victim's family currently state he is long overdue for Freedom. Over 30 years later. Proof of guilt of First-Degree murder--BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT-- was never established. Please grant lesser degree with time served. We beg you. Mike did not take a life. Please allow Justice Over Pride. We beg. FB#ClemencyMike

    Ballad of Anthony Ray
    O listen my friends to the tragic tale
    Of an innocent man dragged off to jail
    The story's not pretty but it's sure as true
    As the sun is hot and the sky is blue
    It'll make you faint, it'll make you cry
    How in the world the crooked did try
    To ruin the youth and and freedom of one
    Who wasn't the criminal and no crime he done
    Those slippery cops and detectives vile
    Without a second thought or honest trial
    Put Mr Hinton on death row in a cage
    It will quickly fill an honest soul with rage
    One day Ray Hinton was mowing his grass
    It was hot and he drank lemonade in a glass
    A revival meeting after dusk on that date
    Would not see Ray there, as came instead a twist of fate
    Two sleezy men showed up at his door
    He wondered whatever the reason for
    Mr Ray was a soul quite honest and kind
    But those rough guys cuffed his hands behind
    "What wrong is this for which you guys
    Don't hear with ears, nor see with eyes?
    I haven't done the double murders nearby
    You haven't captured the real guy"
    Ray begged the justice thugs to find out
    What the heck this was all about
    Double murder was the answer he heard
    But it happened far away; it was absurd.
    Ray was working that night of the crime
    He wasn't any where near at the time.
    Ray was on the job, his boss surely knew
    Those accusations were not at all true
    So in her drawer Ray's mom had a gun
    It was dusty and could not have been the one
    Still it was labeled as evidence to the court
    And so went the allegations as a horrid sport
    Well the rich can find representation with ease
    They hire the skilled lawyers as they please
    The poor are not given a solid voice
    You see then, they haven't got a choice
    The poor get help that is not worth a hoot
    They should be shown the door and given a boot
    The ballistics man was shoddy and blind
    With his one eye, Ray was further confined
    More time on death row
    Was a stupid and inhuman blow
    After 3 years of silence in his small space
    Inmate Hinton slowly gathered grace
    A great lawyer was to come to his side
    And this man dedicated to be Ray's guide
    Hallelujah was in his heart all along
    But with a guide Ray was singing an even more powerful song.
    Thirty long years is not a mere token
    Any other person might have broken
    Death row for those long years
    Was the only place for Ray's tears
    Sometimes the Bible was under his bed
    It's verses forgotten and not in his head
    Ray married pretty women, he won a tennis match
    His mind took him where no evil would catch
    But the final end of Mr Anthony Ray
    Was not to be in a prison, no way.
    He won his freedom to be in fresh air
    To see sun and feel rain as one's God given affair
    A devoted friend visited Ray on a regular basis
    Never missing a chance to exchange happy faces
    That was a blessing from above
    For rare is such steady friendship and love
    This ballad is sad to relate in a way
    And yet it has to be told, this story of Ray
    Why do we act as shameful aggressors
    Why do we think we are successors?
    We cannot inherit rights to others
    We are all sisters and brothers
    We cannot transgress with ill will
    That which the Lord desires to fulfill
    We are not to act as animals do
    When we know what is really true
    Let's relish with joy the works of the divine
    Let's let the light of all good people forever shine.
    With power, opulence, beauty and fame
    God invested His Holy Name

      @bowed305 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lester is definitely the prime example of what a good friend should be, and I think he is okay with going to these things with Ray, but I get the feeling that he prefers to stay in the background.

  • @tulayamalavenapi4028
    @tulayamalavenapi4028 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Trauma is well documented... I pray that Ray will assimilate all the good that boosted his spirits and led to his release.
    Hare Kṛṣṇa.
    I pray that the time lost will eventually come to be felt less and less as his good life goes forward. I think the sharing is invaluable for everyone with a good heart, and if it ever becomes a burden for Ray, that he can feel confident enough to go on his own path of peace and harmony and be hugged by God Himself.
