Mr. Woodfox, you are an example of resilience rarely observed in our human family. You were a resilient child. A resilient young warrior. That you had to further develop your resilience through 43 years of one of the most spirit breaking conditions is a TRAVESTY. But NOT a tragedy as you live, you know love, you share your wise voice for any seeking to break their chains. THEY did not break you. I love YOU!

“You’re aware of your condition based on your level of consciousness.” I am in eternally grateful you have shared your experience of this life. Thank you Albert.
This is American institutional & systematic racism at it is finest - an absolute disgrace where the criminal justice system is one of the most racist and unjust, even Mandela's 26 years in prison seems like a short vacation compared to this. Woodfox is a superhero, most people would have gone insane.

smh. I couldn't even work for a prison after finding out one of the prisoners were in solitary confinement for that long. That's a reason to quit immediately
Should have justice served and the reason he went to prison (rights and reparations for blacks) should be met so all that time wouldn’t be in vain. That would be an “Oscar” win for the culture.
I was thinking the very same, no one else could do such a story/movie justice. Densil actually looks and sounds very much like Albert Woodfox himself. A movie portrayal would be an extreme psychological roller coaster through helland back .

It makes me sad when I hear his story i get tearing eye but yet gives me alot of hope my lil brother been locked up for 20 years at the age of 16 he been serving his time in a max prison 23&1 setting, he projected to come home 2061, God willing he come home earlier 🙏
All jailers should be made to spend time in a cage so that they fully understand what they subject other men to... No man lives a life of complete innocence!!
Thank you Mr Albert for sharing what life was about in Angola prison and the friend ship you had with my uncle Herman I just wish he could have been here to share with the world what it was like , the last visit I had was to bring his elder sister to visit with him for the first time it was a moment that will never be forgotten God bless you Mr Albert
✊🏾His testimony needs to be heard by the so called young thugs/bad men running mentally wild in America and England and every where.This is so heartbreaking yet heart warming to see how Our Black Brothers weather the storms✊🏾💕
This man has a mind like a steel trap!!!!! He is one of my MANY heros. This man's story encouraged me to sit still and defeat them. You can take my life, but you will never have the privilege of breaking me!!! Unbeatable.
Unbelievable and unimaginable set of circumstances... What a remarkable human being? Hard to put it all into words! Thank you "Democracy Now" for your work in covering such incredible stories that wouldn't have been presented in the mainstream forums!
Hey America, your prison system is like a concentration camp run by private security companies. There is no difference between hotels on the outside world & prisons. Occupancy is the name of the game. Capice. Ponder fellow Americans. Is this a detergent to eradicate crime???? Peace to all.
Wow, blacks did not have a chance. And, today to some extent still don't. The way this man was able to keep his sanity and live long enough to tell his story is beyond extraordinary. He has been in solitary confinement my whole life. I pray Mr. Albert Woodfox lives a long life to continue to appreciate God's blessings. I pray he develops precious moments and has precious dreams even in his last days. This is an inhumane act to bestow upon anyone. God bless you sir. Much love to you.
Read this book right before the pandemic, it was a different journey. Alway heard stories about Angola, this opened up my realm adding to all the things I heard. Gave me a new respect for men working together under harsh constraints.
As soon as he came out he looked and acted like he wasn’t affected at all!! This guy could literally survive anything!!!! If there’s anyone mentally stronger than him, I would be surprised
Solitary confinement is the most cruel and unusual punishment we could have ever convinced however due to the conditions in most prisons it might be the best idea better than stabbing or gang rape in a dorm
These tears can’t stop coming for you Mr. Woodfox. I am Sooooooooooo Sorryyyy for what happened to you. Please try to still enjoy your life and don’t let this Win over You. Always Win Over this Albert you hear me Love. Like the Winner that you are. Pisces are Very intuitive spiritual people and that helped you tenfold your sign. I Love You Sir. Salute Forever to You.❤️🤗

They will all have to answer, even us the Isrealites, so what will he do to your people? If you read the bible, you can get in with us. Keep his law,statues and commandments. But your people will be judged by how you guys have treated his children. For everything that they have done, he said give them double. I didn't say that but Yahawashi. It's not a color thing, but an individual thing.
@@ptate98 OK mate then if that's your beliefs that is cool there is lots of evil in this world thats for sure I only represent myself so if there is a heaven then I reckon I will have my place
Did he say "they got no near to break us"?? This man is a mystic, I cant find another explanation
Hahhaa good coment God give him power to not surrender
It makes me sad when I hear his story i get tearing eye but yet gives me alot of hope my lil brother been locked up for 20 years at the age of 16 he been serving his time in a max prison 23&1 setting, he projected to come home 2061, God willing he come home earlier 🙏
God we come through for him in Jesus Matchless Name Amen!
I just recently found out I had a brother and he's been locked up for 31 years. Praying for both of our brothers!🙏🙏❤❤
Speechless!
Respect and honor Mr.Woodfox , Hail the Israelites
Thank you Albert Woodfox for fighting for us!
Oh dear God, how anyone comes through that with even a shred of sanity is beyond me. ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿
My goodness 43 years. That was 1976, I was born in 1976. That's a long time to be locked up
My heavens the most respect and unable to say even how impressed and amazed I am at this man amazing
I can’t imagine being so cruel and evil to live life torturing others. That’s insanity
Hands down we are the STRONGEST people on the planet!!! MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY
All jailers should be made to spend time in a cage so that they fully understand what they subject other men to... No man lives a life of complete innocence!!
Thank you Mr Albert for sharing what life was about in Angola prison and the friend ship you had with my uncle Herman I just wish he could have been here to share with the world what it was like , the last visit I had was to bring his elder sister to visit with him for the first time it was a moment that will never be forgotten
God bless you Mr Albert
Sad. Glad hes out to spread his message. Blessings
John Jones if you close your eyes and listen to him talk,he sounds like an old Denziel too
@@invisiblemaninvisibleman5159 yes sirr & kinda look like him
It preserved his skin, looks so youthful.
anything for good skin
@NEYEN ETHER • Apparently!
The sun is what ages skin
Wow! What an AMAZING man!
Throughout all of this, I developed an unbelievable love for humanity..........
✊🏾His testimony needs to be heard by the so called young thugs/bad men running mentally wild in America and England and every where.This is so heartbreaking yet heart warming to see how Our Black Brothers weather the storms✊🏾💕
This man has a mind like a steel trap!!!!! He is one of my MANY heros. This man's story encouraged me to sit still and defeat them. You can take my life, but you will never have the privilege of breaking me!!! Unbeatable.
His father was frustrated and they did NOT want to promote him in the military.
Unbelievable and unimaginable set of circumstances... What a remarkable human being? Hard to put it all into words! Thank you "Democracy Now" for your work in covering such incredible stories that wouldn't have been presented in the mainstream forums!
Hey America, your prison system is like a concentration camp run by private security companies. There is no difference between hotels on the outside world & prisons. Occupancy is the name of the game. Capice. Ponder fellow Americans. Is this a detergent to eradicate crime???? Peace to all.
You're absolutely right!
Wow, blacks did not have a chance. And, today to some extent still don't. The way this man was able to keep his sanity and live long enough to tell his story is beyond extraordinary. He has been in solitary confinement my whole life. I pray Mr. Albert Woodfox lives a long life to continue to appreciate God's blessings. I pray he develops precious moments and has precious dreams even in his last days. This is an inhumane act to bestow upon anyone. God bless you sir. Much love to you.
That man's spirit is stronger than anything I have ever seen!
Read this book right before the pandemic, it was a different journey. Alway heard stories about Angola, this opened up my realm adding to all the things I heard. Gave me a new respect for men working together under harsh constraints.
Any other person would break 43years that's insaine bless him
As soon as he came out he looked and acted like he wasn’t affected at all!! This guy could literally survive anything!!!! If there’s anyone mentally stronger than him, I would be surprised
Over the years you have reported such stories. How do you keep doing it with all this injustice?
They can not understand why they can’t break us!, it is very simple..., we are the chosen ones.
eye roll
Since when. Let the Lord decide.
Solitary confinement is the most cruel and unusual punishment we could have ever convinced however due to the conditions in most prisons it might be the best idea better than stabbing or gang rape in a dorm
