This was from Roots 1977, and it was probably the first time on film that slavery was presented as a horror. Before the Civil Rights Movement of the 50's and 60's, Hollywood films (Birth Of A Nation, Gone With The Wind, The Littlest Rebel, etc.) depicted slavery as a wonderful institution.
Right On! I was 11 when this Minseries came on, I coudln't even watch it until I was 14. I remembered also seeing Song Of The South from Disney. It no longer exists and even The Jackson Five & Bo B Sox & The Blue Jeans (From Phil Spector's Wall OF Sound) did their version of Zip A Dee Doo Dah.
Not the first time a movie about slavery was on film, there was a movie called "Mandingo" in 1975 with boxer Ken Norton. Also, in 1969, there was a movie called "Slaves" with singer Dionne Warwick. The Little Rascals did a movie about Slavery with Buck Wheat a slave and Spanky befriends him, it was called the Little General.
I remember I was about 14 years old when I finally sat down with my dad and watched this. I had already been proud of my roots prior to that, but this truly did something else to my heart. This touches hearts.
The scene that broke my heart was when the Lady was selling Rice Cakes and her Little Girl was clinging to her. In 12 Years a Slave a Lady begged for her children not to be separated.
Twelve Years a Slave had me sobbing in parts just from people’s silent acting. They have long scenes where you just have to watch the brutality in real time and don’t cut. It was extremely effective. There there was a part where the main character is waiting for something life changing to come through, I guess this isn’t really a spoiler given the title, but it’s his rescue from slavery, cuz he was born free and kidnapped from New York in 1841. The camera just holds on his face for a minute and a half, which I’m most movies would never work. But it’s the combination of knowing what is going on in his mind, seeing this heartbreaking mix of emotion on his face, and then he looks right into the camera, like it’s telling us we are not going to let you feel comfortable or give you a break, you are going to get a real sense of what slaves went through, or as much as possible in a movie. It’s not a movie you watch yo turn your mind off. Most people I have heard say they would never watch it more than once, and again, normally that would be a bad thing, but the movie breaks you down emotionally, so if you do watch it again, it wouldn’t be for a long ass time. Everyone in it is exceptional. I have always been impressed with movies like Roots (the older and more recent versions) and Amistad and I’ll even watch Django Unchained, accepting it’s not realistic... but 12 Years a Slave in its own league. You just have to watch it to get what I’m talking about

look up the arab slave trade, it still happens today, it went on for far longer and it was 4x worse. every nation had slaves and black people sold black people into slavery
As horrendous and sick as this was, the captives sent to South America and the Carribean were treated even worse (unimaginable) as their death rates were so high that the slavers went back to capture more and more of them over the years, extending the slave trade.
I'm white and I feel so sad watching this. I can't believe people were treated like this because of their colour (and objectified) Edit: Stop with the reply wars. There are still slaves all over central asia and there has been white slaves before. My point is that no one should be treated like this.

Pay attention to the prices here! 150-200 pounds sterling was NOT cheap. Many farmers during this period did not even make this a year in profit. To purchase you had to secure bank financing and then house, feed, and protect your investment if you were going to make a viable return on their labor to pay your borrowed debt. Slave dies from mistreatment and you still owe the bank. Only the elite could afford to buy slaves.....not the common farmer.
I know what my ancestors did was no where near my fault and completely and totally put of my control, but whenever I see these re creation videos of what slavery was like, I can’t help but almost feel guilty.
I would have loved to have been in those downtown offices the morning after Roots aired with the black and white workers. Pretty sure there was some uncomfortable moments 😂
This is from the miniseries Roots based on the book of the same name by author Alex Hailey. Unfortunately most of what he wrote in that book has been shown to be fiction. He was even sued for parts he took from another author's book.
Why is there Always seeds of hate being sowed , ? There are people that won’t let us heal and grow And go foreword. These things are evil of course! All evil is from Satan. But we can overcome evil if we put Jesus Christ first and evermore in our hearts. This isn’t a cop out, it’s fact. If you want peace then go foreword in Jesus Christ. Evil will be over come Only through Forgiveness and Jesus Christ. Most of us have been through pain., Jesus Christ is the only Person that got me through. God Bless you all
Nothing is great about being in captivity and nothing happens without a reason. Two thousand years prior the children of Israel were set free from Babylonian captivity and returned back to idolatry and disobedience. God is not mocked.
What people are forgetting is that yes was slavery bad immoral unjust yes it was but we are judging it by today's standards remember if we was born in those times even if we didn't agree it was the social norm so as sad to say still not an excuse but we have to remember what the social norm for then is not if today's
It wasn’t that long ago they were establishing businesses building cites had fine linens etc they knew what they were doing was wrong every religious book that exists now existed then and more people were fond of the church these ppl and their linage will pay
I knew that this was done .... but, to see it so vividly reenacted sent waves of hatred and shame over me - hatred of those who perpetrated this miserable trade for gain, and shame that I may well have ancestors somewhere down the line who accepted abject slavery as normal.
You need not feel shame for the actions of your ancestors, if indeed you even had ancestors who participated. They were not your own actions. That said, I do believe that all Americans - white or black, whether their ancestors were part of this or not - have the responsibility to help address the legacy of this history and rid our society of racial injustice. If nothing else, it's something we owe ourselves as Americans.
@Colin Gantiglew Just remember something... it was also other AFRICANS that kidnapped, captured and sold their "fellow" Africans into the slave trade. You should hold them just as responsible... because they are just as guilty.
This is no longer acceptable in today's society. I remember seeing this movie back in high school during history class, and I was in shock. Slavery is abolished, except for convicted criminals. According to the 13th amendment, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." It has been ratified on December 6, 1865, almost eight months after the American Civil War ended with the Union's victory.
Andrea Orr Can How brave you are for attacking innocent folks who had nothing to do with any of this. Let’s see how tough you are by going after real, live evil like those gang bangers killing kids everyday all over this country. Go to the morgue, it’s filled with black kids who were recently murdered by other black kids for wearing the wrong colors or walking down the wrong block. Come on tough one, let’s see you in real action. Or are you a coward who needs to sneak up on innocent unarmed folks?
I highly recommend a book & PBS documentary named 'Slavery by Another Name.' It's about another form of slavery that existed in the southern states until World War Two after the civil war. The institutionalized slavery in the U.S. that started in the 1600s is the worst of all slavery in the human race history.
"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you can must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly."(Leviticus Chapter 25 Paragraph 44-46) White slavers did the slave trade according to the Providence of God.

Go to Libya and we'll see a modern version of this.
My son is on auction at the slave auction.
free my boy he done nothin
Those degenerate days when the slaves were being plucked from Indian tribes.
“The first item for sale” ......this is a human being ....................disgusting
Its repulsive.
Yes it is terrible. She is a woman,not an item. Disgusting.
Pay attention to the prices here! 150-200 pounds sterling was NOT cheap. Many farmers during this period did not even make this a year in profit. To purchase you had to secure bank financing and then house, feed, and protect your investment if you were going to make a viable return on their labor to pay your borrowed debt. Slave dies from mistreatment and you still owe the bank.
Only the elite could afford to buy slaves.....not the common farmer.
I know what my ancestors did was no where near my fault and completely and totally put of my control, but whenever I see these re creation videos of what slavery was like, I can’t help but almost feel guilty.
You shouldn't
Do the Rothschilds feel guilty?
@@chrismoney3346 shut up nazi
You shouldn't none of what went on is any reflection on you
@@chrismoney3346 I heard that Anne Frank's Ancestors were Rothschilds
A scar that would never leave America
This is downtown Petersburg Virginia.. iv seen this auction stand with my own two eyes
Slavery ended 140 years ago, I'd thought you'd remove those auctions stands by now. Hoping it back perhaps?
Craig F. Thompson Only the innocent who got sent to jail can complain about it. Criminals can suck at.
of course with your own. you can't see them with another person's eyes DUH!
Any bids?

I would have loved to have been in those downtown offices the morning after Roots aired with the black and white workers. Pretty sure there was some uncomfortable moments 😂
There was no doubt about that!!!
Alex Haley was strong
He had no bitterness
He had a good imagination, later admitting the story 'roots' was fiction.
Looks like an NFL combine!! 😂
I remember seeing this for the first time. I remember how utterly horrified I felt
horrible what my people went through omg I just want to cry lord
Need to break them bucks
I want 2 buy a 1st Hu🌻man myself 2 keep for hundreds of years
This is from the miniseries Roots based on the book of the same name by author Alex Hailey. Unfortunately most of what he wrote in that book has been shown to be fiction. He was even sued for parts he took from another author's book.
Yeah he stole his accounts from another author and made up the rest. Fiction. Died of a bad heart
盗作？ほんとに？ショック過ぎて🥹@@deadmanswife3625
Why is there Always seeds of hate being sowed , ? There are people that won’t let us heal and grow And go foreword. These things are evil of course! All evil is from Satan. But we can overcome evil if we put Jesus Christ first and evermore in our hearts. This isn’t a cop out, it’s fact. If you want peace then go foreword in Jesus Christ. Evil will be over come Only through Forgiveness and Jesus Christ. Most of us have been through pain., Jesus Christ is the only Person that got me through. God Bless you all
The good old days 😂❤
Nothing is great about being in captivity and nothing happens without a reason. Two thousand years prior the children of Israel were set free from Babylonian captivity and returned back to idolatry and disobedience. God is not mocked.
What people are forgetting is that yes was slavery bad immoral unjust yes it was but we are judging it by today's standards remember if we was born in those times even if we didn't agree it was the social norm so as sad to say still not an excuse but we have to remember what the social norm for then is not if today's
It wasn’t that long ago they were establishing businesses building cites had fine linens etc they knew what they were doing was wrong every religious book that exists now existed then and more people were fond of the church these ppl and their linage will pay
In those days abolitionists knew it was wrong and fought against it
Blimey he’s turned into Max Cady😂
she gonna do some fine work 😁
I love auctions
The way things should be.. back when “they” knew their place. No uppety smart mouthing either.?😊😊😊
you sick phoque
Everybody gangsta till there's a war
For God so loved the "WORLD"!!!!!
What is the series called?
the book is called underground to canada and the main charater is June lilly/ Julilly
lol no, it’s call roots. An American saga. Came out in 1977. Some of the best actors out there got their big break in this miniseries
@@BellaBearEatsCheesehuh
The Legend, absoluter Ehrenmann
I bet they still sell em in Africa & India to this day. Just not as openly, it's all done behind closed doors.
A disgrace on Humanity.
Make America Great Again, American Apartide. 😎🙏🏼
i cant beleve how they are treating people
Did yall know there was a slave auction block in Fredericksburg VA up until last year? It was on the sidewalk in downtown Fredericksburg.
hang on, who’s here for history homework on 24-30th September 2020?
Good times
Disgusting how people can be seen as property
Checking their mouths, they were looking for the red gum Hebrews and not the black gum Africans! lol
this truly is a bruh moment
hun
Where's my belly warmer?
She jumped off the mast and the sharks got her, remember?
I knew that this was done .... but, to see it so vividly reenacted sent waves of hatred and shame over me - hatred of those who perpetrated this miserable trade for gain, and shame that I may well have ancestors somewhere down the line who accepted abject slavery as normal.
You need not feel shame for the actions of your ancestors, if indeed you even had ancestors who participated. They were not your own actions.
That said, I do believe that all Americans - white or black, whether their ancestors were part of this or not - have the responsibility to help address the legacy of this history and rid our society of racial injustice. If nothing else, it's something we owe ourselves as Americans.
@Colin Gantiglew
Just remember something...
it was also other AFRICANS that kidnapped, captured
and sold their "fellow" Africans into the slave trade.
You should hold them just as responsible...
because they are just as guilty.
The real class starts after you leave school because you are definitely not reading this in the history books
can i have 2 large 1 medium and a bag of smalls. thank you .
All that struggling would've earned them a world of hurt.
It has come to a head. They will never forget. We today, will never forget. Enough of the madness, already!
@@denissegoatcher-avila3113 the oppressor always feels like u do.... U are not the victim.
@@not-even-german4892 We are all affected & connected. Some of us are empaths.
This is no longer acceptable in today's society. I remember seeing this movie back in high school during history class, and I was in shock. Slavery is abolished, except for convicted criminals. According to the 13th amendment, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." It has been ratified on December 6, 1865, almost eight months after the American Civil War ended with the Union's victory.
Could you tell me what the Name of the series/movie is please?
@@annabethchase2688 Roots (1977 miniseries). It is based on a book by Alex Haley, Roots: The Saga of an American Family.
@@superpan218 thx
this is absolutely sickening I can't believe our world was like this make me sad all the people who had to go through this are in my heart 😭😊
It's only a movie princess.
Andrea Orr - Try it, pal. You'll go to the electric chair.
You're not very bright that still goes on in Africa
Andrea Orr Can How brave you are for attacking innocent folks who had nothing to do with any of this. Let’s see how tough you are by going after real, live evil like those gang bangers killing kids everyday all over this country. Go to the morgue, it’s filled with black kids who were recently murdered by other black kids for wearing the wrong colors or walking down the wrong block. Come on tough one, let’s see you in real action. Or are you a coward who needs to sneak up on innocent unarmed folks?
still goes on in africa today
These scenes are obscene to think human beings were once treated like that is making me ill
I haven't seen Democrats this upset since Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation.
I wish I lived then

Why, for heaven's sake? Do you fancy being a slave owner????
I highly recommend a book & PBS documentary named 'Slavery by Another Name.'
It's about another form of slavery that existed in the southern states until World War Two after the civil war.
The institutionalized slavery in the U.S. that started in the 1600s is the worst of all slavery in the human race history.
"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you can must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly."(Leviticus Chapter 25 Paragraph 44-46)
White slavers did the slave trade according to the Providence of God.
Powerful story made my heart ache. The history channel version was very chilling.
what's the going rate for them today?
Less! AIDS , STD's, drug addiction has really screwed up the product.
A dime of cc crack
What's the going rate for whites.
You dumb pass try that shut now
Dumb ass
How is this any different than the NFL combine, owners in the stands looking to buy a black football player, will see how far he can jump run throw etc
