Not only did she make money from trading slaves. She also owned 360 of them for herself. There is a statue of her in Abeokuta. I wonder if this statue would have been torn down if it had been in America?
Its only a business, nothing personal. I am sure Washington, Jefferson and others were having regular workshops.with her on how to improve slaves' productivity with minimal investment. Nothing changed since then😂😂😂
I like the French doll seller at 5:00. I guess I had always presumed old dolls just became creepy and missing parts and stuff over time. Who woulda thought this guy was selling pre-creeped-out dolls
Children wearing gas masks and ducking for cover in trenches was heart wrenching. I lived in Reading, PA for awhile years ago- never heard of the gal. By the way, it's pronounced Red-ding.
As I am a resident of Reading, I live only a few miles from Sal's former brothel at 8th and Walnut. I'm going to make a point to visit there and think of the good old days.
The ONLY thing I wish was changed, is that the scripted below would stay on as long as the photo is shown, that way it could be completely read through, while trying at the same time to view the photo. If you stop the photo, the you-tube bar comes up, with all the features, and you can't read anything. GREAT HISTORY.
I watched it twice to find one image to favor. But the entire series is outstanding. And my poor cat is in heat. I won't let her out. The classical music you selected calmed her down. She's fast asleep, thank you!!
The photo of a sharecropper mother teaching her children …..She was a very special and dedicated mother to take the time to help her children using next to nothing for supplies.
The picture that sayed to be hockey, but it's not! In Sweden it's called BANDY. I think it's same in English.it's played on a same sized pitch as "soccer",(us) football
18.37 The starved youth looking hungrily in the window. Tattered oversized overcoat. Boots stuffed with cloth to keep them on. The flat money purse held side up behind his back. Makes you wonder if he survived the winter into 1945.
@@kallekas8551 What was once a just protest has transmogrified into a BLM holocaust of unspeakable corruption, black-on-black slaughter, mayhem in our schools, and the burning down of our cities over the self inflicted deaths of the vilest types of lifelong criminals. I will keep my hat on.
@@nbenefiel That's exactly the problem. Blairing thrilling crescendos are not appropriate and are annoying. A better choice would be piano solo classics or ragtime as in silent movies.

Interesting that when the black people left the farms in the south and migrated to join urban communities, it was recorded that for the most part the farm children were far advanced in their learning, they read & wrote better than the urban children who had been attending school. I like knowing that!
the picture of the textile worker at 11:39 reminds me of a scene from Dr Zhivago which I saw when it came out, so my memory is a little foggy.. anyone else remember the shot of Julie Christie centered on the screen? she was wearing a scarf either as a medic or factory worker? I can't find the scene on the internet.. there's plenty of pictures of the villa covered with ice inside and out- which reminds me of 2 songs from Wovenhand= Winter Shaker and Kingdom of Ice.. and a third, Cohawkin Road. the picture of the textile worker has made the biggest impression on me this time around-- humanity is embodied in her while the out of focus image reminds me of the Spirit of God moving, giving life, and breath, and everything else. Thanks be to Him!! and our host for today's file.
These are great photos. I love the “Textile Worker” photo. Who is this photographer? Also very pleasant to listen to Tchaikovsky while perusing. Thank you! Love this channel.
I would actually like it better with no music at all. Every piece of music that I've heard with these pictures by different people even are very distracting and don't give the right ambience to surround the pictures with
I love watching videos like this. All photos are beautiful & capture days/moments in history so very well. What amazes me most in the photos is that (although) ppl, prior to 1960s, didn't have much in their lives, they all took pride in their appearance & the city they lived in. Cities were clean, ppl dressed presentable in public. Notice no drug addicts/homeless on the street. Sure was different compared to today. No respect from themselves & others, total disregard for ppl who are trying to make a living, lack of appreciation/gratitude to natural beauty & history & for what they do currently have. Time sure did change when people were given more $/rights & freedom to do as we want. If most of us didn't feel so entitled & greedy (at all levels of occupations), I think we (as human beings & country) could have made places/lives so much better.
There may not have been obvious homeless in the cities (they may have been sleeping by rope in a church pew), but the poor were crammed into tenements with whole families to a room. The nice clothes they were wearing were all they had and sanitation was not available. Those same people who were living in cramped rooms were sharing about four outdoor toilets with the neighborhood. The city streets were disgusting with human and animal waste and the air was becoming unbreathable with the industrial sludge and air pollution. The people in these photographs would be astonished by our level of cleanliness but would have found desperate poverty to be a familiar occurrence. There was a high rate of alcoholism and drug addiction; opium dens were thriving but the poor were lucky if they could pinch a bit of tobacco. While the affluent were living their best lives, as they do now, everyone else was struggling against impossible conditions. Disease was rampant; infant and child mortality rates were high and immigrants and people of color were subjected to huge discrimination and dehumanizing conditions while all women were practically the property of the men in their lives. These were not the good old days.
The music selections with this video are perfect! They do not overpower or distract from the content.
Thank you for your thoughtful good taste!
Loved all of them, What impacted me most was Madam Tinubo the Nigerian slave trader

The Dutch siblings didnt look happy, but both looked well fed.
0:41 Sad how poor these people lived.😢
1:01 Beautiful photo! 😊♥️
Thanks for this video, i love it. ❤
Children wearing gas masks and ducking for cover in trenches was heart wrenching. I lived in Reading, PA for awhile years ago- never heard of the gal. By the way, it's pronounced Red-ding.
And I hated the Covid requirement for paper masks during that awful time.
The victorian family photo was nice.
lol, british mums army couldve scared invaders just by their look😂
I think it's hilarious - a horse on the 2nd floor. I would love to know the story behind that one!!!

Danke❤
I really enjoyed it, the music too.
Some photographs were...wow!❤...what a great collection!
I love this 'I am a man' plackard. I want to wear it TODAY
Love classic music 🎶
Wonderful pictures. Horrible AI gives me the creeps. I hate it.
10:53 Grrrrrrr. It’s not THE Cliff House; it’s just “Cliff House”
You don’t have much to worry about do you?

Nice pic of bruce lee holding his son Brandon and great pic of stallone my favorite actor
Στο 7:49 ,πως στο καλο βρέθηκε εκεί το άλογο;;;;;
😂 that was one of the awesome photos!😅👍

I thought I recognized the car. It's about a 1958 MGA, possibly the same 1500cc model as mine. No leopard or blonde, however.
Amazing 👏 & well timed to Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture with the wonderful crescendo at the end . Some other nice music after that l can't identify 🎉
Not really fond of the music but thank you for the pictures! 👍
0:58 "This rain are fallin'?
5:49 Everyone should read that title again.
A blast from the past.
Why is there a horse upstairs can somebody please tell me?🤔🤔🤔
I was wondering the same thing !
Of course of course 😅

I can’t read the writing very small some of us impaired sorry
I like the photo with the horse looking out of the 2nd story window.
17:13 : the Duch Rijksmuseum says it is 1920, possibly in Den Haag.
Looks like a taxi on the right.
Great pics but very difficult to look at pic, take it in and read at the same time voice over would have been better
List of music please.
The picture of Nikola Tesla, but the most impactful we’re the children in the trench in England during World War II.
It's pronounced "Redd-ing"
The photograph of peaceful civil rights marchers being menaced by soldiers with guns was revolting.
Yeah…so much for freedom to protest…
I was 10. It turned me into an activist for the last 60 years.

Maybe they shouldn’t protest on armistice day…idiots.
Say THAT DONT START WITH MARY JO BISCHOFF EVEN IN THE FIRST PICTURE
4:10 Make America Great Again
Not enough time to read descriptions
The blaring music is not appropriate. We don’t need a 100 piece orchestra. Tone it down to something lighter.
It’s the 1812 overture. It’s thrilling.

That migration of Blacks to the urban areas is because they were not allowed to buy land.

Great photo's I put it on mute, because the muzac is awful.
I remember July 4th 1976
Thank you!
What town is the civil rights march taking place? Were the tanks necessary
The Mums army.
I didn't even know there was such a thing
Wake up America
Agree a full piece orchestra is very distracting, what were you thinking. Ridiculous.m
