Sorry to hear of his passing, I remember watching this documentary on PBS and zoning totally in on every word and watched it again on another local PBS channel
I'm really happy I got the opportunity to find this and watch it. It was very sad and heart breaking to watch, but very enlightening about the events that took place. I'm sorry for the ancestors of anyone who had to go through this misery and torture. And I praise all the good ppl who tried standing against it to bring it to an end. Idk how a human being can cause someone else pain without remorse or regret. :(
"a new world burst upon my agitated vision" . . . the serious VOICE OF RICHARD BROOKS will forever inspire contemplation! What a strong-man voice to make you think!
So touching the story... when I think about the slavery part of US history my heart is aching so much. God bless all good people. Unfortunately, nowadays the slavery still exists all over the world.
This may help - we have a complete transcript of the film THE ABOLITIONISTS on our website. Good luck! www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/abolitionists/#transcript
Here's a fun exercise for your history class. Discuss whether you would've been an Abolitionist living in the northern States in pre-civil war times with all that it curtailed or a nazi living in Germany in pre-WWII times. The answers are very predictable, but the truth is more revealing
Apology from who? Africa or America? Last time I checked it was black people in Africa who sold fellow black people as slaves to the whites... who is worse? The one selling or the one buying? Who is it u want the apology from? Also last time I checked all involved have been long dead.
@@melissai4798 No one wants a filthy apology. *RETURN* the natural resources stolen from Africa that many of you continue to live off of. What really happened: Habukkuk 2:12 th-cam.com/video/pJ5zizWjSko/w-d-xo.html
Money and greed, slaves were a huge unpaid workforce. If you did the right thing and freed them a lot of people were going to lose a lot of money. So you find ways to justify it, but money is at the bottom of it. If you bring money into human relationships it screws everything up, that's an old. old story.
Once the got rich off of slavery of course they wanted out. It's like a person who has sinned they don't want to sin again. Remember wall street is in New York.
I admire Frederick Douglass and all the work that he did. But I'm going to be THAT person and complain here bc Douglass was clearly of mixed-race. And as much as I admire this actor, he was poorly cast to play him.
"" the actor that played fredrick passed away last yr he gave an excellent performance rip my man"!!!
Why? 😔
feels bad
This is not true! He plays on “being Mary Jane “

@@GoldenPrencessBeing Mary Jane that was almost 15yrs ago.

I WISH people took time to actually take interest in history. History is so important. SO SO IMPORTANT
You barely can get these dumb bastards nowadays to read.
Excellent performance depicting a most excellent man
William Lord Garrison and Fredrick Douglass are powerful together

@@shinkai9kami162 Lol, I had to do this for class and got bored sry.

Douglas lived into the 1890s if im not mistakened
This story must be told, and those of us still free must fight for those who are not. Including our animal brothers and sisters
I agree
Yup😎

I guess were here at the same time😂
Ok ... so I have been reading a lot of the comments on this video and..... Anyone speak English on here? Anyone? Buehler ?
Ahem, before you mock others English, perhaps learn to spell your quotes, so people can understand your references ie. Ferris Bueller.
Skipped right over the Garrison mob of 1835 Boston
The start of the video sounds like the beginning of boe sosa “ life I live”
Of Frederick douglas
WIlliam Loyd Garrison was a Christian Anarchist.
The subtitles get me oof yes Lao.
STILL NO REPARATIONS. WHERE'S THE (untrustworthy) APOLOGY?

Wow, powerful. The United States should have a federal holiday called Abolitionist Day to remember and celebrate our white and black abolitionists.
7:40

How the ^^^^ could a human being treat another human being like (this)? I just don't get it...
