all of it. My tribe had 150 black slaves that were taken on The Trail Of Tears. This is why American Indians do not race bait. American Indians had slavery so did black people and most others.. They are leaving out the fact that more than a few black parents went off on the schools. look how he keeps saying "' White people ""The films made of the school tell a different story. All this division needs to stop.
That is "white Democrashit" their policy on the Coloured People. Republican or Democrats party, they have one Policy only and that is to insist Lies, Denial, Racist. Deep inside their Soul is to put down the Coloured Men.
I’ve met Mr. Dunn while attending St. Thomas University. He is a brilliant man and he helped my cousin with research for her Master’s thesis. He’s also like 80 and looks marvelous.
Make you believe they were so downtrodden and beat every single day that was not the case a lot of them work treated very well with respect they were considered part of the family and work trusted as such
Call out the bad actors in history so this behaviour will never be normalised and reoccur....Oh did I just remember the civil rights movement and the fact that black rights is still an ongoing issue. Yes Desantis and his ilk will gaslight us right back to the glory days of the confederacy if we let them.
Amen!! I'm white and Jesus loves all the little children of the world yellow black and red white.. please do not vote Republican whatsoever, or we will have a dictatorship. They've taken away women's rights along with everything else and it will continue if they continue. DeSantis & his BS bad!! He should be helping Floridians with homeowners insurance being controlled and our taxes at know he's doing everything for himself just like Donald Trump does..
Back in 1990 when I was in high school African American history was offered after school as a non credit class. I took it all 4 years without credit although I fought my district for it. Black history is American history.
I just want to know what can I do to help ensure history does not erase us?! This is so enraging what this Florida governor is doing! How he stays in office is beyond me
Have you actually read the curriculum being proposed? No where does it say black people were benefited by slavery. It says that despite being enslaved, black people were able to acquire useful skills. It in no way says slavery was good and tries to discredit the evil of slavery. This is simply democrats lying again. Read the papers for yourself. You’ll see they are lying.
@@lwells3937 can you give me one truth that is supposedly being hidden. Before I had even entered high school, I knew that slavery existed when we declared independence from England in 1776. It remained legal in the southern US until the end of the civil war in 1865. Now granted, the Democrats have never really ceased to be angry about this, even to this day.
I just love this brother for his courage and effort in keeping Florida's Black history alive. And thank you Amy for you broacasting these important subjects. LOVE YOU!
I was a public school student in Philadelphia in the 50s and 60s, Thank God....I studied while living in real time the civil rights fight, Jim Crow and President Johnson's passing Voter Rights. My high school, John Bartram was the first Magnet school in the country; VP Humpfrey visited our school to make it official. That meant that students from all over the city could come and take advantage of our excellent Black History curriculum and they did. I feel so sad for the students and teachers in Florida and other states that are now suppressing the truth through this blatantly bias curriculum.
But Black parents - have to buy Black History books - instead of those expensive sneakers. Knowledge of Black History will still be there - when the sneakers are gone!
Yes let’s be honest. Blacks were enslaved in Africa by other blacks bf they sold them to a tiny percentage of whites in the south. White peoples didn’t start thr slave trade. They literally ended it. Except in Africa, where slaves still exist in 2023.
Yeah, well slavery is over in America and and Europe but it still goes on in Africa and the Middle East but you don’t give a fuck about that. All you care about is vilifying white people even though they ended slavery and did so much to lift up Black people and prop them up until they get there, but you guys are never grateful.
This is nothing more then democrat strategy to divide us further. Before the turn of the century the entire planet and every country were enslaving other races.. Black americans even had black slaves. The jews ere enslaves, the chinese and the slavic people in europe were slaves and is were the word comes from. If anyone should be pissed its the american indians. You can teach history but not the democrat and political lefts version. Alls that maters is that as a country we come togethor as no black americans born today are slaves.. Any american in this country can become any success they desire if they have the will power. That is not the case in most countries around the planet including africa. This is all designed to divide not teach history
That is already happening! Personally, I will never teach again in Florida as long as Ron DeSantis is governor. I prefer to work for myself and teach online.
That's what right wingers and Christian nationalists want though. They want public schools and universities to fall apart. Without smart and brave teachers, they will fall apart. Then the wealthy christofascists could sweep in and grab those properties to install religious schools. I'd prefer more teachers like him, courageous and resisting these racist politicians and their policies.
On the other hand, I guess you meant in protest, not to permanently quit teaching. In that case I would definitely support a walk out. If all teachers went on strike against their leaders like DeSatan, then parents and local leadership would be forced to band together to overthrow/vote out the deranged "anti-woke" politicians ruining their states.
I'm 73 and was born in PR..When we came to the US inland , my family settled in CT. I started school late (7) and had a lot of catching up to do as far as education goes. Went through grade school, then HS in Hartford. I have never heard about the true story about the 1923 Massacre in Rosewood Florida nor anything about 'Black Wall Street' in 1921 OKlahoma... This definitely needs to be taught at least in 7/8 grade and in HS. This is a shame. Along on the same subject, I never knew what Columbus did or caused to the original inhabitants of PR the Tainos to be extinct, where settlers enslaved Taínos as laborers .. Of course we know about the africans slaves being brought over by Columbus also...Everyone needs to know about history bad or good...Mostly BAD sad to say....
@@kcor4We know most Black people who owned slaves owned them to remove them from being subjected to the daily horrors of White masters. You obviously have an agenda
@@kcor4Black sold and owned slaves where ? In America ? Recently some historians said the occurrence of black owning blacks was almost nonexisant or very insignificant in the US . This is just a tallking point pushed by people trying to downplay the horrible institution of slavery . Slavery in America was based on only black people being slaves ,and whites being predominantly slave owners . What happened often than not ,is that free blacks raised money and if posible , bought the freedom of friends and relatives .
This is one historian that stands basically alone. Any credible historian will refute the framing and even some of the "facts" being taught. There is far more documentation about our founders than any black history cited here. They all kept detailed diaries and shared their struggles with slavery and how it was wrong. People are complicated, and so is history. Black history isn't a thing. It's American history or bust. The horrors of slavery have been taught to us for a long time. We can teach both. We can teach the horrors but also teach that many white men also worked hard to dismantle the practice of slavery. Hundreds of thousands of white men died for black men to walk free today. But let's just forget about that because slavery is bad....The idiocy to forget the progress we've made will lead to our destruction as a society.
That is where you are wrong !!! The only thing that was really taught about slavery was how the white men were the ones who fought to end slavery!!!! Not all truth !!!
@@AuraysTimelessChannel Just stop. Nobody is saying that we can't acknowledge the white people who fought against the institution of slavery. But don't pretend it was anything but a majority. A killer who writes in his diary that murder is wrong is still a killer. A slaveowner who "struggles" with the idea of slavery is still a slave owner. White Supremacy is real. Not all white people are part of it. If you could just stop clutching your pearls and having your feelings hurt, we could move on with actual education.
Please get anything you place on your land insured, even if it's just a pile of lumber. There are many more people just like him out there. Please be careful on such a wonderful project. ❤
this is the problem about using race card some people would use it correctly with facts but any one can come and use it for their benefit in a reverse fashion this is why is better not to use the race card.

@@russell-gt1dy what are you? Frankenstein? Very simple statement I made as a people from my point of view. Where is the insult and what is the insult.
@@everrolmalcolm2933 your point of view is ridiculous. The majority of European indentured servants who came here were worked to death within five years of arrival. Asian indentured servants had it even worse. And here in the 21st century the average schmuck has better food, amenities, toys, entertainment, medical care etc etc than John D Rockefeller himself had a century ago And still reveling about the 'struggle' Frankly it's embarrassing
Move on guys its s free world now. You're no longer slaves. go do something useful for yourselves. Stop dwelling in the past. Learn from it and move on. Even my fellow Africans participated in slavery but no one Is begging for reparations from them.
he won the case, the white guy faces 60 years of prison for "hate crime" (of course he is an idiot, but that seems to be slightly exaggerated), so what are you people crying about??!! This is 2023, not 1923 ...
Marvin Dunn: "I was born here, I know Florida's flowers and warts." That statement really resonated with me. Me: " I was born in here, I know America's history and lies.
I was born here too, it's not a racist state.... Most blacks were on welfare when I was a kid, kids grew up on taxpayer's work, then lots became drug dealers which led to early deaths and imprisonment.
As a Floridian..people are outraged and livid by this change in the curriculum. I have a feeling this will get changed soon. The absurdity of slavery was good for learning skills is the most gaslighting thing I have probably ever witnessed.
gaslighting new application. it has metastasized like the DIXIECRAT/gop evils have been doing. now Jesús is too woke, too loving and way too liberal. . what will all the Christian tele-evangelists do to pay for the avgas for their private jets? they will write a new bible like the Book of Mormon of course. gotta go with the flow.
Maybe you should get more context than a carefully selected sliver of what they are presenting. They have shown nothing to prove what they are accusing, and it's disingenuous to make such claims without any substance to back it.
On the contrary, your bigotry has held you back.. Forgiveness is the first step to healing.. You are to racist to forgive so you vilify those who resemble the people who you presume wronged your ancestors in the past.. You yourself haven't been wronged by Caucasians but you have grown into the racists of today without a doubt and now it's your people doing the wrong..
It's so sad that the human race still hasn't gotten past being prejudice against race, religion and bigotry. If we could move past all of that, maybe, just maybe the human race will make it.
Do you think hitler historian would agree with those who are jewish historian even factual things NO they wouldnt so what does that tell just because you are a historian it doesnt mean what you know or say is factual.
Oh the same historians that helped write other AP standards that were the same but no one batted an eye at but because Florida did it its REEEE WAYSISIMS... This is the dumbest low rent shit...and you fall for it.
They do and nobody wants to hear it. Thomas Sowell shows exactly how slavery was the bedrock of the African tribes for hundreds of years, thousands perhaps, preceding America's role in slavery. Thomas Jefferson did not want to ratify the constitution due to slavery: in fact, America and England sent troops to Africa to quell the Masi and other tribes that did the actual enslaving. Slave comes from a word meaning Slav. A white person. More whites were enslaved by Moors and Berberes from Africa in 1776 than were ever imported to America. If you are going to teach history, show that slavery was ubiquitous, white people bought slaves from blacks in Africa, native Americans enslaved one another, and the groups who received the worst historical treatment don't complain about it. Like the Jews. Chinese were enslaved in america and built the railroads. I don't hear them bitching about reparations and slavery holding them back. In fact, Caribbean blacks who came from slaves and live in the USA today do better than most whites in terms of academics and income. They were not fed this lie that forever they will be held back by slavery. And yes, redlining did exist. Did. But blacks in America were more educated, more upwardly mobile, had a 99 percent family unit in tact until the welfare state which incentivized single motherhood for certain urban black populations. Educate, do not indoctrinate. Correlation is not causation. And race is but one lens through which to view history. If you are going to use race as a weapon, stop and ask why. Teach slavery as history, not that slavery is uniquely American. It never was and it is time to stop the polarizing nonsense this phony prof spouts. He's hardly Thomas Sowell or a scholar of the history of slavery is he. Italians were put in internment camps during ww2 with other groups. I don't hear them blaming the racism--like being referred to as a wop, a dego, for 100 years---on their personal failures.
Yea and they should investigate all those in "Rose Wood too, and see how many got their lands through family slave trading and because they disenfranchised black people, also who got their lands because black families was ran off, or had to leave to save their families from being murdered by whole city of racist sick people, plus the police and the judges being all in it together!! I bet we will find out most of them took other people lands from generations ago!!
Did you actually read what the curriculum says? No where does it say black people benefited from slavery. It’s a lie being pushed by democrats. Actually read the papers for yourself. They are lying about it.
Rosewood Massacre???!!! Im a Black 74 YO woman and i have never heard about this. History has been watered down for years!!! Nor did i know anything about what happened in Oklahoma in 1921 until 2021!!! What does that tell us about history??!!! 😢😢😢
There can be No Healing without Atonement! Hence her downfall will be her Original Sin, True Story. Appreciate you Amy and the whole team, keep the real stories coming.
Absolutely , and like a wound only heals when it’s properly cleaned , America will only heal when it’s dirty history is know. Don’t be afraid to bring it to the light. Healing and restoration will take place . America talks about being a CHRISTIAN country , yet confessions of wrong done is the precursor to FORGIVENESS . Yep they ARE NOT Christians , just RELIGIOUS , and God HATES religion.
Thank you Mr. DUNN for all you do to keep black history from being erased from the state of Florida and from the history books, hearts and minds of the people in America and the world!! May the almighty God continue to bless you and your family and keep you safe!
If they're worried about their kids being uncomfortable think about how uncomfortable I am sisters wear sorry that people don't like to hear the truth but the truth is always better for me because it is what it is and if you cannot deal with the truth than you lying to yourself my ancestors was never paid and it was against the law for black people to be educated maybe that's what the problem is he doesn't want to see us educated so he can say vote for me and I'll set you free get out of here Ron DeSantis you are just a shadow person who should never be any office this will backfire in your face and thank you so much for broadcasting as I've always knew that history was my best subject good thing I have a strong mother and father the struggle was real as it is today
This will not happen if you're smart enough to vote for Joe Biden Kamal They will bring us out of poverty and The only two that love ❤️ America 🇺🇸 ❤️ 💙
@@curtispugh4483 that curriculum included teaching gay/ trans sex as part of black history....so you're ok with that? I met one gay black man in my life, it's not a lifestyle blacks are for.
My father was in the AirForce one day a black family came into the base chapel the first time we ever had a black family in the particular Catholic service. That was 1966 ,life moves on people learn, what is wrong with these super slow learners , we are one .
Wow, my mother had taken in a lot of young white youths back in the 70's she was a kind spirited Lady. We all ended up going to Church together as well. It wasn't Catholic though.
This man is smart and has a real fight back spirit. Who says the elders have no backbone. He is doing a lot. I hope he gets a lot of support. Tons of people in Florida should be out supporting his efforts against the dangerous school policies.
@@WINNINGSOULS2CHRIST Teaching history verse critical race theory the democrat and leftist ideology are two different tyoes of teaching history and only about dividing us not any other reason.

I want to see a class on people like DeSantis, Cotton, Kennedy etc and their history with racism. We need a class on racism history, ethnocentrism, and the fear of white people of those who are not white.
I'd love to contribute to that class. There is so much pre-judgements of human behavior that the old wives and old men's tales are in control of much of our thoughts, prejudices, hates, fears and inhumanities. I believe that very informative books could be written about the crimes of the dominant ones in a culture from youth on up. bullying as a child is learned and part of testosterone history. Our life's goal should be to not ask god to fix things, but for us to love what god has created and do our best to protect and heal the world from it's many fearful haters.@@Mary-gp9qk
Finally, a history professor acknowledging black childrens feelings when hearing so called " history" not from your own perspective. In that history, your people are portrayed as less than. Leaving me hurt and confused about wtf America is. Although, i enjoy learning accurate history, not something made up so you feel better about your self.

It left me Confused, Not Proud of my People, Like we were always suppose to be enslaved!! "They say the truth hurts, but a lie kills" - Mary J. Blige
The majority of European indentured servants who came here were worked to death within five years of arrival. The notion that any group somehow had a monopoly on suffering during a time when the goal was just to survive, is insulting

Clear is it... I am a historian and not a fake victim mentality historian like this bigot you just listened to... Feel free to fact check anything he claimed and then come back and tell me that any of it is based in truth at all.. You are a parrot and a puppet having your strings pulled all to easily.. Stop regurgitating bs that you heard from racists and open a book so you can see the truth for yourself..
So why is the Wealth gap so high between working Black and White Families, why are there still Sundown towns in this country, Redlining, Gerrymandering, Qualified Immunity, etc…….
Did you know White slaves were sold in the 17th century more than Blacks in America, with a staggering death rate between 37% to 50%!? "Modern-day historians call the White slaves indentured servants, and they never refer to them as slaves. These White slaves had to work 14 hours a day with no wages, in the worst working conditions, equivalent to the same harsh hard labor that existed in the Gulag." ...............
Literally the FBI and the state charged a man that attacked Mr Dunn while screaming the n word out the car and you’re crying out about “victimhood”. Let’s be real, you only use the victimhood trope if the person complaining is black.

People should also start discussing what is about to be started in Arkansas Colleges, where the Governor Huckabee-Sanders administration has suggested that the credits from African American studies classes would no longer be counted towards the credits of a Degree. It is slick way of discouraging college students from taking that elective.
Yes, people need to hold the state governments accountable for these racist policies. If they don’t participate in resisting these policies then true history will be buried and / or falsified..
Thank you for standing up., California commends you for your bravery, just like our people Native American Indians fighting for rights, The struggle is real, just like us living on a 16 mile square (reservation) all of us, the government taking our rights away, rounding us up like cattle , just like yours. Dehumanizing the color of your skin in history books , We better wake up now!!!
Saying that slaves had benefits. Is also saying no need for reparations because they learn skills as slaves 🙃🙃🙃🙃 (everyone please read between the lines)
I believe in reparations. If you are a slave, you should get help. If you are descended from a slave, pay back the money you got from welfare, if you committed a crime or any family did, pay back the victims, if you got free anything, pay it back. I'm guessing you'll have nothing left. People who were harmed, deserve to be repaid. People who are grifters, do not.
@@Chris-nw5lkThere is just so much negativity & dislike in your paragraph. Just be honest with yourself. It's the best policy. If slavery ended tomorrow you would have a problem giving reparations. Your ancestors did. And that is why this discussion is still going on. Exslaves never got their 40 acres & a mule. And the land they did purchase on their own was stolen from them. I truly think that land should be given back to their descendants. Call it even.😊

Amen professor. We who grew up in America appreciate all facts and knowledge that we received in free schools in the 60s and 70s In college we were able to open the Bible and Constitution up for deep understanding with weaknesses and beauty and truth.

Wow a real rebel from the south. So Democrats have bought and sold more salves in the last ten years than the south slavery states had in the 1850s. How are you on that ugly fact about the horrible and evil Democrats.
But why keep teaching hate and victimhood? Example: in elementary school they played the entire Roots series, that happens to be directed and produced by a “Yt man”, only for us to watch and develop hate/more hate for yt folks that had absolutely nothing to do with chattel slavery. These same Yt people that we will be seeking jobs from as we entered the workforce, we despised. I say they set us back because it was very little dialogue or explanation after we watched that bullshid. It made us as children ANGRY and hold a real disdain for anything that resembled Yt. These type of teachings are FUTILE and USELESS in the real world. It will always have you looking back with resentment instead looking forward with Promise.
@saramill2097They should be informed of the times when children were farmed out to neighbors ( by their parents) to do their work for them for no pay..This is the definition of White Slavery

As a Kiwi (New Zealander) looking in it seems that his being censured from actually teaching about institutionalised racism is a form of racism in itself. And this is, of course, *unacceptable.*
Yes, they are trying to say that the slaves were "spear throwers" and we "gave them Christianity" and "saved their souls" while "teaching them helpful skills" in a new world. I would vomit if I had to say that to a class of children. And I'd say things like, I didn't tell you that you're only being taunt racist hogwash but maybe Google for yourselves.
With what Ron Desantis is doing, I dont think he should be in any public office of leadership. Black history should be taught to students / people the correct way and not be washed up and sweeten. Not the way he want it to be. The truth of black history will be taught. Theres other problems Florida has that needs to be addressed, Desantis. Leave our black history alone.Teachers, please educate the students the correct way, not the Ron Desantis way. Thanks.
we had a young black lady get killed in our area and I posted a comment on youtube that they should bring in the FEDS because it sounded like a hate crime to me! Glad Professor Marvin Dunn did it!! Awesome.
The benefit would be similar to someone that went to prison and learned a trade or skill. That doesn't mean going to jail in itself was by any means fun. It's to say that some positive came from a negative experience.
@@jackhammer3423 You're not legally property when in prison. You're still a person. Were you taken away from your parents at a young age? Were your parents raped? Were they whipped in front of you? Yeah prison labor run by private prisons for profit is pretty much slavery for sure. That should be outlawed. In the U.S. though because of Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 when Africans and Europeans rose up together against the Virginia Corporation elite, therefore Virginia passed British "divide and conquer" laws making it illegal for white servants to be whipped in public and making it illegal for FREE blacks to vote or own weapons.
@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 whoa whoa! Slow down strawman.. These are secondary arguments at best and not ones I said or implied. The primary conversation was about skills developed while enslaved. I'm not in any way trying to defend the practice of slavery. Every person alive today has ancestors that somewhere in the past were enslaved.
In February 1942, the Nazi occupiers in Norway created a new fascist teachers organization that required Norwegian teachers to teach Nazi ideological racist lies. Almost all Norwegian teachers walked off the job in protest. 499 of them were arrested and sent to a concentration camp. One died in captivity. As a result of this heroic mass resistance, the Nazis were entirely unable to keep the schools running. In November 1942, the Nazis finally gave up and the victorious teachers returned to their schools.
I think the Florida school system is really in trouble with teachers leaving their jobs and Florida altogether. I'm thankful my 3 grandkids are being home schooled. The kids are the ones who will suffer the most.
Move on guys its s free world now. You're no longer slaves. go do something useful for yourselves. Stop dwelling in the past. Learn from it and move on. Even my fellow Africans participated in slavery but no one Is begging for reparations from them.
Sounds very weak to me! 😂 And white people know it! No one sits online complaining about being conquered while calling themselves Kings except!! 👴🏿🤷🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🙄
Slavery affects how black people are treated even today. Why doesn't anyone understand this. Sorry but with every passing, hopefully so does racism. I have hope for our youth!
Thank you so much Professor Dunn for your gifts, service and love. You are a light in our world and i am so grateful you are in it. I will definitely visit the peace house and sulport it. Teach the truth 💗💗💗
Malcolm said it 60 years ago! "Only a fool would alow their enemies to educate their kids!" It's time to separate and teach our own the truth! 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
Thank you❣ Thank you for *_everything you're doing!_* And thank you for saying what you said at 15:06. I've said it repeatedly, but I'm a voiceless nobody, in a comment section. You are the _first_ person - whom I've seen on _any_ broadcast - to counter the false ws "feelings" narrative, with the fact that *_BLACK CHILDREN HAVE FEELINGS!_* Subjecting a child to a "teacher" - telling him or her that it was "fine," or even "beneficial," to ensIave people like him or her - causes feelings no child should _ever_ feel. Hearing a teacher tell children that people shouldn't perpetrate horrific crimes against humanity, does NOT. Hearing a teacher tell children that that people shouldn't perpetrate horrific crimes against humanity, is _beneficial_ to any child's moral development. The ws parents that proffer these ws Iies, are not protecting their children from difficult feelings; they are protecting _themselves_ from being _seen_ clearly. Including by their own children.
Just went to their website & purchased a hoodie that has the same logo "Teach The Truth". Buy & wear, and make your passionate feelings known. We must not let Truth slip away!
Professor Dunn, you are absolutely right! Many if not most of us actually enjoy what black people bring to American culture and we work for the day that everyone is a fully participating citizen. Currently, at 84, I sometimes begin to feel discouraged; so, seeing that an ‘emeritus’ still hangs in there, encourages me. As for slavery, I think a most revealing, easy to read short book that demonstrates slave experience and the resultant degradation of slave owners should be presented to anyone capable of reading it. I refer to the autobiography of Fredrick Douglass. Bought at the age of six as the first slave of a newly married young couple, he records his awakening to the situation. The young woman saw him as a child and treated him as she would any child. She was teaching him when her husband came home, was outraged and threw a hissy fit, teaching Fredrick that reading must be really important. He records the ruses he used to learn his letters and also his sadness at the increasing coarseness and cruelty of the once gentle young white woman. The obvious lesson is still the same-defending slavery demoralizes the defenders even as it did in Douglass’ time.
I am ashamed that educated people, teachers included, have not vigorously fought against neocons over the last 30+ years. Teachers unions have not supported their teachers for years.
Prof.Dunn I am so proud of your courage and actions to teach the truth about our shameful past history of slavery in Florida!! Whether or not it makes white people feel uncomfortable, we the people deserve to know the truth about our own history. By the way, I'm a 75 yr white lady.
If we're going to teach American history, let's teach it all. Like over 650,000 White men died in the civil war to free the slaves. How that the KKK was the domestic terrorist arm the Democrat party. And as of late all the said to be racist statues that were torn down or removed were all statues of Democrats. I am an American Indian (Native American) We can't live in the past.

That meant that students from all over the city could come and take advantage of our excellent Black History curriculum and they did.

Yes let’s be honest. Blacks were enslaved in Africa by other blacks bf they sold them to a tiny percentage of whites in the south.
White peoples didn’t start thr slave trade. They literally ended it. Except in Africa, where slaves still exist in 2023.

This is nothing more then democrat strategy to divide us further. Before the turn of the century the entire planet and every country were enslaving other races.. Black americans even had black slaves. The jews ere enslaves, the chinese and the slavic people in europe were slaves and is were the word comes from. If anyone should be pissed its the american indians. You can teach history but not the democrat and political lefts version. Alls that maters is that as a country we come togethor as no black americans born today are slaves.. Any american in this country can become any success they desire if they have the will power. That is not the case in most countries around the planet including africa. This is all designed to divide not teach history
Mr. Dunn, You would make your parents proud. They did a masterful job. Thank you so much for spreading the truth.
Teachers should band together AND WALK OUT!!!
The students too.
That is already happening! Personally, I will never teach again in Florida as long as Ron DeSantis is governor. I prefer to work for myself and teach online.
That's what right wingers and Christian nationalists want though. They want public schools and universities to fall apart. Without smart and brave teachers, they will fall apart. Then the wealthy christofascists could sweep in and grab those properties to install religious schools. I'd prefer more teachers like him, courageous and resisting these racist politicians and their policies.
On the other hand, I guess you meant in protest, not to permanently quit teaching. In that case I would definitely support a walk out. If all teachers went on strike against their leaders like DeSatan, then parents and local leadership would be forced to band together to overthrow/vote out the deranged "anti-woke" politicians ruining their states.
Walk out for what?
That's right, brother, preaching the truth wins all the time, Amen.❤
I'm 73 and was born in PR..When we came to the US inland , my family settled in CT. I started school late (7) and had a lot of catching up to do as far as education goes. Went through grade school, then HS in Hartford. I have never heard about the true story about the 1923 Massacre in Rosewood Florida nor anything about 'Black Wall Street' in 1921 OKlahoma... This definitely needs to be taught at least in 7/8 grade and in HS. This is a shame. Along on the same subject, I never knew what Columbus did or caused to the original inhabitants of PR the Tainos to be extinct, where settlers enslaved Taínos as laborers .. Of course we know about the africans slaves being brought over by Columbus also...Everyone needs to know about history bad or good...Mostly BAD sad to say....

Thank you for teaching & spreading the truth Professor Marvin Dunn.
This is one historian that stands basically alone. Any credible historian will refute the framing and even some of the "facts" being taught. There is far more documentation about our founders than any black history cited here. They all kept detailed diaries and shared their struggles with slavery and how it was wrong. People are complicated, and so is history. Black history isn't a thing. It's American history or bust. The horrors of slavery have been taught to us for a long time. We can teach both. We can teach the horrors but also teach that many white men also worked hard to dismantle the practice of slavery. Hundreds of thousands of white men died for black men to walk free today. But let's just forget about that because slavery is bad....The idiocy to forget the progress we've made will lead to our destruction as a society.
That is where you are wrong !!! The only thing that was really taught about slavery was how the white men were the ones who fought to end slavery!!!! Not all truth !!!

Just stop. Nobody is saying that we can't acknowledge the white people who fought against the institution of slavery.

This is the dumbest low rent shit...and you fall for it.
They do and nobody wants to hear it. Thomas Sowell shows exactly how slavery was the bedrock of the African tribes for hundreds of years, thousands perhaps, preceding America's role in slavery. Thomas Jefferson did not want to ratify the constitution due to slavery: in fact, America and England sent troops to Africa to quell the Masi and other tribes that did the actual enslaving. Slave comes from a word meaning Slav. A white person. More whites were enslaved by Moors and Berberes from Africa in 1776 than were ever imported to America. If you are going to teach history, show that slavery was ubiquitous, white people bought slaves from blacks in Africa, native Americans enslaved one another, and the groups who received the worst historical treatment don't complain about it. Like the Jews. Chinese were enslaved in america and built the railroads. I don't hear them bitching about reparations and slavery holding them back. In fact, Caribbean blacks who came from slaves and live in the USA today do better than most whites in terms of academics and income. They were not fed this lie that forever they will be held back by slavery. And yes, redlining did exist. Did. But blacks in America were more educated, more upwardly mobile, had a 99 percent family unit in tact until the welfare state which incentivized single motherhood for certain urban black populations. Educate, do not indoctrinate. Correlation is not causation. And race is but one lens through which to view history. If you are going to use race as a weapon, stop and ask why. Teach slavery as history, not that slavery is uniquely American. It never was and it is time to stop the polarizing nonsense this phony prof spouts. He's hardly Thomas Sowell or a scholar of the history of slavery is he. Italians were put in internment camps during ww2 with other groups. I don't hear them blaming the racism--like being referred to as a wop, a dego, for 100 years---on their personal failures.
Yea and they should investigate all those in "Rose Wood too, and see how many got their lands through family slave trading and because they disenfranchised black people, also who got their lands because black families was ran off, or had to leave to save their families from being murdered by whole city of racist sick people, plus the police and the judges being all in it together!! I bet we will find out most of them took other people lands from generations ago!!

Stop regurgitating bs that you heard from racists and open a book so you can see the truth for yourself..
Nobody is affected by slavery today.If you dont acheive much in your life here in America its your own dam fault.
So why is the Wealth gap so high between working Black and White Families, why are there still Sundown towns in this country, Redlining, Gerrymandering, Qualified Immunity, etc…….
God Bless you Mr. Dunn🙏
Much respect for you, Prof Dunn. Teach The Truth - thank you for that!
I remember when black people wasn't allowed on Miami Beach. I was born in the cayman Islands
Did you know White slaves were sold in the 17th century more than Blacks in America, with a staggering death rate between 37% to 50%!?
"Modern-day historians call the White slaves indentured servants, and they never refer to them as slaves. These White slaves had to work 14 hours a day with no wages, in the worst working conditions, equivalent to the same harsh hard labor that existed in the Gulag."
...............
Wonderful gentleman. Great project. ❤💙
Wow... I'm a little jealous of students who get to learn from Professor Dunn directly. Brilliant and inspiring
So you appreciate VICTIMHOOD 101 ?
Literally the FBI and the state charged a man that attacked Mr Dunn while screaming the n word out the car and you’re crying out about “victimhood”. Let’s be real, you only use the victimhood trope if the person complaining is black.
Have you actually read the curriculum being proposed?
No where does it say black people were benefited by slavery. It says that despite being enslaved, black people were able to acquire useful skills. It in no way says slavery was good and tries to discredit the evil of slavery.
This is simply democrats lying again.
Read the papers for yourself. You’ll see they are lying.
People should also start discussing what is about to be started in Arkansas Colleges, where the Governor Huckabee-Sanders administration has suggested that the credits from African American studies classes would no longer be counted towards the credits of a Degree. It is slick way of discouraging college students from taking that elective.
The US is backsliding into a morass of ignorance and hate, the one fueling the other.
Yes, people need to hold the state governments accountable for these racist policies. If they don’t participate in resisting these policies then true history will be buried and
/ or falsified..
not "slick" but on the nose
Thank you for standing up., California commends you for your bravery, just like our people Native American Indians fighting for rights, The struggle is real, just like us living on a 16 mile square (reservation) all of us, the government taking our rights away, rounding us up like cattle , just like yours. Dehumanizing the color of your skin in history books , We better wake up now!!!
Ya!
2023 !
the time to wake up!
Excellent piece. Thank you, Amy and the man from Florida for doing this.
Saying that slaves had benefits. Is also saying no need for reparations because they learn skills as slaves 🙃🙃🙃🙃 (everyone please read between the lines)
👍💯❤️
I believe in reparations. If you are a slave, you should get help. If you are descended from a slave, pay back the money you got from welfare, if you committed a crime or any family did, pay back the victims, if you got free anything, pay it back. I'm guessing you'll have nothing left. People who were harmed, deserve to be repaid. People who are grifters, do not.
@@Chris-nw5lkThere is just so much negativity & dislike in your paragraph. Just be honest with yourself. It's the best policy. If slavery ended tomorrow you would have a problem giving reparations. Your ancestors did. And that is why this discussion is still going on. Exslaves never got their 40 acres & a mule. And the land they did purchase on their own was stolen from them. I truly think that land should be given back to their descendants. Call it even.😊
Desantis is a racist and always has been
@@Chris-nw5lknah I don't belive in reparations I don't need that stuff,move on and build your self up,it's no that hard lmao😂
The history teacher should stand together and say teach all history are none!!!
This man is awesome and brave!!! May he continue to do this good honest work. Tell the truth!!!
No, he's pathetic
Thank you Professor.
I grew up in Pa. Learned unwashed history and I support everything you do to preserve real history.
THANK U MARVIN I LOVE U BROTHER, WE NEED MORE LIKE U. TOGETHER. AS ONE ..BECAUSE RASICM HAS TO STOP.. THESE PEOPLE ARE OUT OF THERE MINDS WITH THIS. RASICT AGENDA
Amen professor. We who grew up in America appreciate all facts and knowledge that we received in free schools in the 60s and 70s
In college we were able to open the Bible and Constitution up for deep understanding with weaknesses and beauty and truth. So l was a lucky white kid who could love deeply all my brothers and sisters . Our opportunities to read all classics is an absolute necessity for us and our grandchildren. I am for voting and personal health autonomy and education of all. You go brother!
🤣I think you mean Washington DC..... Joe Joe....Obama is clean and articulate, poor kids are just as smart as white kids, black kids used to rub the hair on my legs, my best friend was in the klu Klux klan.....do you ever read anything??????????
Wow a real rebel from the south. So Democrats have bought and sold more salves in the last ten years than the south slavery states had in the 1850s. How are you on that ugly fact about the horrible and evil Democrats.
@saramill2097 that's a true racist ideology!
But why keep teaching hate and victimhood?
Example: in elementary school they played the entire Roots series, that happens to be directed and produced by a “Yt man”, only for us to watch and develop hate/more hate for yt folks that had absolutely nothing to do with chattel slavery. These same Yt people that we will be seeking jobs from as we entered the workforce, we despised.
I say they set us back because it was very little dialogue or explanation after we watched that bullshid. It made us as children ANGRY and hold a real disdain for anything that resembled Yt. These type of teachings are FUTILE and USELESS in the real world. It will always have you looking back with resentment instead looking forward with Promise.
@saramill2097They should be informed of the times when children were farmed out to neighbors ( by their parents) to do their work for them for no pay..This is the definition of White Slavery
✨🔥💖🔥✨
Only the truth can set us free

How in the world can one being tortured be a benefit for anyone? I am the Aboriginal aka Black Indian. I am not American nor African. I am Seminole. We come in many shades except pale.
I just don't understand why what our ancestors endured is still a talking point in 2023.
It's wierd you are the only ones still crying about it I agree..
All races were enslaved but only one race is to childish and racist themselves to move on...
@@thewatcher9539 not all blacks are crying about it ..and it's not only blacks that are crying about the past. People all over the globe are complaining about something or crying foul against America and other countries. It's not just blacks.. If I have to hear it I'd rather hear it from someone who is American.
@@Partymarty0088 the conversation was about slavery and I'm glad you agree that past slavery shouldn't be a talking point..
In north America yes it is only Blacks complaining about it or white saviors on behalf of blacks and no I did not say all blacks behave that way at any point..
My people were still being enslaved by the turks decades after slavery was abolished in America..
Don't hear my people crying about reparations or safe spaces or appropriation or racism etc.
Besides the vast global slave trade of today should be the talking point..
Not what some pretend victim presumes someone's ancestors might have done thereby vilifying that person based solely on their skin color for possibly being related to someone who may have wronged someone else a hundred years ago..
Only whites are blamed for the sins of their fathers while poc's cry racism if you point out the hypocritical double standards and that by those insane standars pretend their ancestors hands are clean..
Clown world..
Professor Dunn is brave and full of integrity! A real hero!
Thank you professor Dunn for teaching the truth on our history. Brave and selfless you are. I wish I can come to your lectures. I live in Ohio. So sad what you all been through down there in Florida. De Santa’s should be ashamed of himself and he trying to run for presidency boy bye!!!! United we fight and united we stand💪🏾🙏🏾❤️

As a Kiwi (New Zealander) looking in it seems that his being censured from actually teaching about institutionalised racism is a form of racism in itself. And this is, of course, *unacceptable.*
Yes, they are trying to say that the slaves were "spear throwers" and we "gave them Christianity" and "saved their souls" while "teaching them helpful skills" in a new world.
I would vomit if I had to say that to a class of children. And I'd say things like, I didn't tell you that you're only being taunt racist hogwash but maybe Google for yourselves.
Wait, do you think they were Rhodes scholars?
Wait, do you think they couldn't be.
The USA being the USA. Yet their politics criticizes ours. This is pure comedy 🤣.
WHAT A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING = PROFESSOR DUNN 🙏🏽🍃🌟💫💖
Good for you,sir..I am with you..down with DESATAN..
With what Ron Desantis is doing, I dont think he should be in any public office of leadership. Black history should be taught to students / people the correct way and not be washed up and sweeten. Not the way he want it to be. The truth of black history will be taught. Theres other problems Florida has that needs to be addressed, Desantis. Leave our black history alone.Teachers, please educate the students the correct way, not the Ron Desantis way. Thanks.
TRUTH WILL OUT
Stay strong Prof Marvin Dunn and all those speaking truth to lies
How was there any benefit to being a slave anywhere in our world
we had a young black lady get killed in our area and I posted a comment on youtube that they should bring in the FEDS because it sounded like a hate crime to me! Glad Professor Marvin Dunn did it!! Awesome.

The benefit would be similar to someone that went to prison and learned a trade or skill.
That doesn't mean going to jail in itself was by any means fun.
It's to say that some positive came from a negative experience.
@@jackhammer3423 You're not legally property when in prison. You're still a person. Were you taken away from your parents at a young age? Were your parents raped? Were they whipped in front of you? Yeah prison labor run by private prisons for profit is pretty much slavery for sure. That should be outlawed. In the U.S. though because of Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 when Africans and Europeans rose up together against the Virginia Corporation elite, therefore Virginia passed British "divide and conquer" laws making it illegal for white servants to be whipped in public and making it illegal for FREE blacks to vote or own weapons.
@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 whoa whoa! Slow down strawman..
These are secondary arguments at best and not ones I said or implied.
The primary conversation was about skills developed while enslaved.
I'm not in any way trying to defend the practice of slavery.
Every person alive today has ancestors that somewhere in the past were
enslaved.
It’s our history.
Yeah it’s your history, so why does every kid have to learn about it and you don’t have to learn about their sob story and feel sorry for them?
Why do we have to learn your version of history???? Tell the truth and the whole truth. The good,the bad and the ugly.
True History, it still happening.
My thoughts exactly. Band together and walk out. Can't have schools without teachers. Teachers , you are professionals, don't teach lies.
In February 1942, the Nazi occupiers in Norway created a new fascist teachers organization that required Norwegian teachers to teach Nazi ideological racist lies. Almost all Norwegian teachers walked off the job in protest. 499 of them were arrested and sent to a concentration camp. One died in captivity. As a result of this heroic mass resistance, the Nazis were entirely unable to keep the schools running. In November 1942, the Nazis finally gave up and the victorious teachers returned to their schools.
@@davidbouvier8895and here we are with the immidiate nazi analogy.....
You really have a one track mind.
I think the Florida school system is really in trouble with teachers leaving their jobs and Florida altogether. I'm thankful my 3 grandkids are being home schooled. The kids are the ones who will suffer the most.
@@hallarious506 How perceptive of you to acknowledge the analogy.
Good walk out, new teachers are waiting
Thank you for this episode. Truth must be told and not censored or covered up. I’m with the Professor. 🙏
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Me too.
Teach that blaks commit the most murders, rapes and robberies per capita everywhere in the world
Move on guys its s free world now. You're no longer slaves. go do something useful for yourselves. Stop dwelling in the past. Learn from it and move on. Even my fellow Africans participated in slavery but no one Is begging for reparations from them.
Sounds very weak to me! 😂 And white people know it! No one sits online complaining about being conquered while calling themselves Kings except!! 👴🏿🤷🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🙄
Slavery affects how black people are treated even today. Why doesn't anyone understand this. Sorry but with every passing, hopefully so does racism. I have hope for our youth!
Marvin Dunn is a hero! Thank you.
Thank you so much Professor Dunn for your gifts, service and love. You are a light in our world and i am so grateful you are in it. I will definitely visit the peace house and sulport it. Teach the truth 💗💗💗
Malcolm said it 60 years ago! "Only a fool would alow their enemies to educate their kids!" It's time to separate and teach our own the truth! 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
Yes, separate😂
"your truth"? What a moron
Thank you❣ Thank you for *_everything you're doing!_* And thank you for saying what you said at 15:06. I've said it repeatedly, but I'm a voiceless nobody, in a comment section. You are the _first_ person - whom I've seen on _any_ broadcast - to counter the false ws "feelings" narrative, with the fact that *_BLACK CHILDREN HAVE FEELINGS!_* Subjecting a child to a "teacher" - telling him or her that it was "fine," or even "beneficial," to ensIave people like him or her - causes feelings no child should _ever_ feel.
Hearing a teacher tell children that people shouldn't perpetrate horrific crimes against humanity, does NOT. Hearing a teacher tell children that that people shouldn't perpetrate horrific crimes against humanity, is _beneficial_ to any child's moral development.
The ws parents that proffer these ws Iies, are not protecting their children from difficult feelings; they are protecting _themselves_ from being _seen_ clearly. Including by their own children.
You are not a nobody. Your comment is intelligent and well written. Cheers
A-MEN!!!
We shouldn't deny history. We should learn By major mistakes
Very true but trough the years, how many have forgotten history's teachings over writing their own.
Just went to their website & purchased a hoodie that has the same logo "Teach The Truth". Buy & wear, and make your passionate feelings known. We must not let Truth slip away!
Professor Dunn, you are absolutely right! Many if not most of us actually enjoy what black people bring to American culture and we work for the day that everyone is a fully participating citizen. Currently, at 84, I sometimes begin to feel discouraged; so, seeing that an ‘emeritus’ still hangs in there, encourages me. As for slavery, I think a most revealing, easy to read short book that demonstrates slave experience and the resultant degradation of slave owners should be presented to anyone capable of reading it. I refer to the autobiography of Fredrick Douglass.
Bought at the age of six as the first slave of a newly married young couple, he records his awakening to the situation. The young woman saw him as a child and treated him as she would any child. She was teaching him when her husband came home, was outraged and threw a hissy fit, teaching Fredrick that reading must be really important. He records the ruses he used to learn his letters and also his sadness at the increasing coarseness and cruelty of the once gentle young white woman. The obvious lesson is still the same-defending slavery demoralizes the defenders even as it did in Douglass’ time.
Psychiatrists must be the most out of touch creeps in this world.
Are you talkin' about yourself@@bettyjaneantanavicius9800 ?
I am ashamed that educated people, teachers included, have not vigorously fought against neocons over the last 30+ years. Teachers unions have not supported their teachers for years.
Prof.Dunn I am so proud of your courage and actions to teach the truth about our shameful past history of slavery in Florida!! Whether or not it makes white people feel uncomfortable, we the people deserve to know the truth about our own history.
By the way, I'm a 75 yr white lady.
If we're going to teach American history, let's teach it all. Like over 650,000 White men died in the civil war to free the slaves. How that the KKK was the domestic terrorist arm the Democrat party. And as of late all the said to be racist statues that were torn down or removed were all statues of Democrats. I am an American Indian (Native American) We can't live in the past.
Too bad she left out much of the truth
@brettm7345 And who here is saying the idea is to make whites uncomfortable? Your argument is in bad faith. It's about exposing history, warts and all, not this white washed "Song of the South" version of US History.
@@brettm7345 History....It is what It is...there should be no agenda to guard someone's feeling. What has happened. Has already happened. Don't change. JUST TEACH THE TRUTH!
Bravo to the FBI. Glad to hear they stepped up.
The FBI is a corrupt government organization.
How? What do you think their job is?
FBI? and DOJ 😆😆 they are a bunch of Left Liberal Devil worshipers that Never seek the Truth as their agenda or Narrative is their communist agenda.
Thank you Amy for this interview. I now have 'The history of Florida through Black Eyes' on my reading list.
Exactly !! I'm with you
You wanna do a service stop calling us black. We have identities that aren't based on color.

Great way to promote a book. Someone once wrote on fb that she didn't think of Florida as a southern state. What would she think of Florida after hearing Prof. Dunn speak? Of course, Florida is a southern state.
More race grifting from liers.
Excellent Interview
God bless these patriots!!
Who do do say are patroits?
Its amazing what we dont know ,but how they want to tell us it happened .
I am white and appreciate this man .
They dont want to teach History in school let alone good history .
They have, as yet, to teach herstory.

Blacks don't know the true history of slavery. They've been and continue to be lied to by the Democrats. The Democrats own and operate everything.. White Liberal Democrats have been using you for over 60 years. They pander to you for your vote. They don't care about you..
