Ever since the show “Underground,” I’ve wanted to learn all that I can about the Underground Railroad...especially those who successfully escaped to freedom.
im so mad they cancelled that show it was great
for real "underground" was a great show. i was hooked since the first show. its terrible they cancelled it.
trunuyorker7 I wish some network would pick that show back up!
I loved Underground... I don’t know why the other networks wouldn’t pick it up
OWN picked it up.. just reruns..smh
About 36 years ago this movie had a profound and emotional impact on me when it was played at my school. A black boy came to my school, Westminster Christian School in Elgin, IL, and became my best friend. His name was Brandon Johnson, now Cook County Commissioner in Chicago, IL. I have looked for this movie from time to time on the Internet, and just found it "by accident" after watching a documentary on Harriet Tubman. Thank you SO MUCH, reelblack, for making this available.
Wow...A Whole Black Boy Came To Your School? And You Became Best Friends? How Exciting. You Should Write A Book All About Your Adventures With A Black Boy.
i love these old time movies specially the ones about slaves it shows what my ppl been through
It also shows how they were helped.
God was with them
Your people are the true Israelites of the Bible (Deut. 28: 68).
Correction:
I love these movie about your "ISRAELITE ANCESTORS" during there time of enslavement too!
It shows how much they've endured. Making us their Descendants grateful for what they over came and what we must keep come during our time of captivity in todays system of So-called White Supremacy.
Note:
Our Ancestors were prisoners of war whom were forced into slavery.
Slaves were not their original identity.
gloria ealy exactly you are right also they are the real stars 🌟 who suffered didn’t even get paid for free labour working none stop from crack off dawn to night plus beaten up so bad plus raped even kids where raped stabbed too
God bless Harriet, and all the people with beautiful hearts, who cared enough about their fellow man to do what is right.
These are the people that made àmerica great,the freedom fighters
Delove blam53 Jah bless right.
Delove blam53 Harriet was a true Warrior did what even army men had to train for
VIETNAM BOMBING
6 school r
Oh yes!
God bless the soul of Benji, for going after David, and for Benji's family too, for the aide they gave and the love in their hearts and of course to Harriet Tubman, one brave woman, who helped to free hundreds of slave.✌❤🙏
Cloveice Colemen AMEN
You I l
i really didn't expect to enjoy this movie as much as i did. Thank you!!
Every one should go and see this movie she is a brave woman thank Allah for her staying positive and prayed up love kekelah
Lsto
I watched this movie when I was a boy. Never knew the title but I remembered the lines :
" Hide in the woods by day. And at night, just follow the north star. "
Thanks!
Great movie more young black children and young adults should watch it and learn where we came from and should be doing for each other.
This is not where we came from. This was forced on us after being captured from Africa. But i agree young black children should see this as well as white kids so they will stop trying to tell us to get over it...
Kelvin Torrence you very wrong black race came from Africa who lost all their traditions, culture , these movies are not good for today’s young men and teenagers who are killing each other
Such a kind & determined lady ! Nothing but love ! GOD sent, GOD fearing !
linda parker AMEN
I teach second grade in Miami, FL. in the middle of the biggest Hispanic population of Cubans and Mexicans. Today one of my students said her mom and dad hates me...because they saw me...they hate me because I am dark complexion with an afro... she said her mom said my hair is ugly. I told her God made us all in beautiful colors. I told her that her mommy is pretty with her Carmel skin, and I am pretty with my chocolate skin. The child was so worried, she said, "but why did they say bad things about you?" I finally said, "we will pray for your mommy and daddy."
Im petty, petty I would've told her that the white man hates her mommy and daddy🤷. Her mommy and daddy will be sent back to wherever they come from when they get caught but black ppl can stay....but you're beautiful
@@ronnettamatthews2371 lol, you are so right. Thank you. I cannot understand why the Hispanic population think themselves better than blacks, when it is so obvious that they are mixed with black, especially the Cubans.
U are a good person because I would tell that child her parents are ignorant and doesn't know their identity and I would call them in for a meeting and ask them what race are they from and let them know they not liking me only make 2less cockroach not liking me
@@876BossLady lol. Calling them would be a huge waste of my time. They need pity. I am sorry for the pain their ignorance will cost them.
@@araisininthesun5958 yeah I thought about it and it's not worth it as Michelle Obama said "When they go low we go high"
Awsome movie about what happened back in the day's of slaves.. It's sad what happen back then.. Bless everyone who Indore those day's..
ENDURED those days. Each one teach one. You welcome💞
Yes these are the people who made America great Decent Godfearing people
Myrna Davis AMEN
Yes ~ ❤️ absolutely We need a day to be a Harriet Tubmen Day !!!!
Harriet Tubman is my favorite hero of all time and this is a great movie 🍿
Great upload! I really miss those days of the school films. Our people are blessed and don't even know we're the children of God. Our ancestor suffered horribly in bondage, but it was their strength to survive that's why we're still alive, today. We are the living legacy of our beloved enslaved foremothers and forefathers. Bless the day when our God sets his hand against our enemies and frees us completely of our oppressors, in the land of our captivity. We will be healed and restored as a people which are called by His name.
Great movie.Great *upload* for my *soul.*
Reelblack, I am a life-long lover of reading and research. Movies that you bring to and for US pleases me immensely. Matter of fact, for students that sometimes get "bored" with reading, viewing movies like this should be included in daily curriculums, not a movie every now and then, because of the many truths that these movies hold. If I had been involved in the decision-making from the on-set, your channel WOULD be the "BET" that we should have had in the beginning.
Great story of courage and God's people helping people!!
I’m proud thank you ✊🏿
Very beautiful film. Thank you so much for sharing
A genuine story without any "false image" we can relate to from where we was & where we at today..... May our generation learn & equip themselves with these past History of our forefathers👍🙏
Thank you!
This made me happy and sad at the same time
Kim's life Authentic me too
I wanna cry....I wanna scream
All the way to Halifax, Canada (Africville)...
Not many people know about Afriville in Canada. But i think they went to St Katharines...
@@zacharypeacock6278 They went to Ontario (St Catharines, Chatham, Windsor, Dresden, Lakeshore, Fort Erie, Owen Sound), Quebec, New Brunswick and Halifax (Birchtown/Africville)...
@@IceManLikeGervin They also came to Otterville, Ontario, a small rural agricultural community about 20 minutes from where I live. The Quakers helped them and they built a school and the African Methodist Episcopal Church and Cemetery; the Cemetery is still there today. These Freemen then went on to continue to work with Harriett Tubman and the Underground Railway. Amazing history!
@ Respect!
The end was the best🙌
God work through ppl in mysterious ways
@O'bey Me the movie is showing you one example of how he did it......
Jermaine Jones AMEN
Go fuck yourself asshole, it's white people that put themselves and family's on the line to help you ungrateful asshole's not god.
Suspense had my stomach feeling weak
Me too
The actress that plays Harriet is the same one who played the mother in the film, BLACK GIRL from 1972. This is the only other film I've ever her in. She is a strong character actress and I'd always hoped to see her again in something else, as she played her part so well in BLACK GIRL.
Thank you for this time capsule and for providing me the opportunity to see this fine actress portraying another role. I doubt very seriously if I would have gotten to see this anywhere else. ✌🏽👑 👍🏽🙌🏾🙏🏽✊🏾🤜🏿💥🤛🏽🖤👍🏽
awesome!
This was a great movie
Awesome
Loved it thanks
Loved this film!!
God always has people to help, provide for and defend the poor, oppressed and disenfranchised
I haven't seen this short film since junior high school. Thanks

It's beautiful. Though I think it would be wrong to sneak away from my father like that they raised him well. I wish more people had the heart of that boy.
wow so delightful 😄
love Davis so painful so hurting such a trauma far from delightful
Oh wow! It ended so guick! Good little movie though💕..... where you get these masterpieces from?
Absolutely good...... too bad the ugly reality of prejudice and slavery Still exists!.!
Theres some left. There will always be haters in the world. No one can change that.
True

Nothing like it did praise God
Lord the recording is underground railroading.
This was touching. Thank you
This watches like a school program. I've never seen it before.
This was the second episode of the ABC Afterschool Specials that ran from 1972-1997...This episode originally aired on November 01, 1972...Hope that helps a little! Let the good TV Shows play on, and take care! Ms. Elizabeth 📺📼📀📺📼📀
@@Muzikgirl67 I commented three years ago? I don't remember a thing about this program, so now I guess I get to watch it again.
THANK YOU
Yes ~ Great ❤️ movie Follow The North Star, The Underground Railroad Movie ▪ ☆ ▪ ☆ ▪ ☆ Harriet Tubman who helped many slaves escape to freedom, and we should have a Harriet Tubman Day !! may God bless all who suffered from this amen ❤️ 💕
Patricia Lopez yes a remarkable lady a true warrior queen I am sure many saved slaves but only Harriet story was put in a movie
it was some good whites back in the day, that's how we made it as well, still can't understand how they thought humans were property , smh
@Jeannie Kendricku sound dumb there is good whites just as there is bad whites also its some good blacks and also bad black people there everybody is not the same dont put everyone in the same boat
@Jeannie Kendrick You sure have one hell of a way of twisting the Bible to back up your BS. You're deceived by your own venom.
Jeannie Kendrick exactly they are fake never know what they really thinking have an unpredictable personality they love only themselves
Jeannie Kendrick never most fake hypocrites very intimidating race
Jay Waymon Blacks didn’t invite whites to take them as Slaves to America! Ofcourse their are good & bad in all races but most blacks are not good due to what ancestors been through this slavery long term trauma passed down into generations through genetically as generations off today suffering mentally and Psychologically, but whites have not been through a Trauma but are mostly horrible fake people who think it’s all about them
Harriet Tubman Davis was a very brave black women who over came great tribulations to escape the degradation of slavery.
Think you mother for all you did for us😇😉👌🏻👌🏻
RIP, Louise Stubbs.
My mom who is 79 says she remembers her great grandmother coming down from Pennsylvania to visit prior to her passing, wondering if she was part of the underground railroad journey 🙄
“His kind runs fast”
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 wooo hoooo!!!!!!!!!
What is this. It's so black I can't see
Respect to all the Good White folks in those terrible days, who helps loads of black folks to freedom.That has to count for something!
Well, it was a good movie.. and the music says it's old!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE
This movie is way better then the 2019 Harriett movie
It was a wonderful movie
May God bless them
That main actress played in the movie Black Girl!!!! She played the mother!!!

SHE WAS A STRONG SISTER AND SHE WAS BRAVE😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
FROM DETROIT MICHIGAN
Blessed yes Harriet was a true courageous Brave warrior who even Army men have to train for long time to Accomplish what she did and being a women in not even the right clothing nor shoes , The Lord worked with ok each step 🙏🏼, many slaves did what she did but stories where destroyed by white envies race
Man this shit had me on the edge of my seat. First time watching it. Never heard of it. I was at work. Just proof that hood film is just that. Doesn’t matter the technology. This is coming from someone who is 33. And this was an after school special!?
This was really good lol 😂
I didn't have cable
Back in the 70"es
This wasn't on cable back in the 70's. It would've shown on regular T.V. stations.
thanks @reelblack
This fills me with a rage I didn’t anticipate.
Why did it fill you with rage?
Great video
A. R. I don’t think it’s great as it’s based on a white boy ! Come on now they always wanna base movies on them it’s meant to be a slave movie !
Oh my goodness I really enjoyed this movie ☺️☺️☺️
Louise Stubbs! This woman was a consummate actress.
Meet the family crazy as hell.
Amen!
I loved this!!!!
RIP teamon Blair
Great 👌
Love it 😍
She was amazing .
Harriet Tubman was a brave and smart women, we should love and honor her always. SHE MADE IT TO FREEDOM, BECAUSE SHE LOVE AND CARED ENOUGH, SHE LEFT HEAVEN AND WENT BACK TO PURE HELL, TO HELP OTHERS ESCAPE AND FOUGHT AND SPOKE AGAINST THE EVIL. INSTITUTIONS OF SLAVERY. SHE DID THIS BECAUSE SHE CARED ENOUGH.
Tammantha Shaw yes a Courageous brave kindhearted caring lady and Warrior the Lord was with her every step of the way
New sub! LOVE your content! Thanks keep it w! I hope you do full episodes of underground on the OWN network every Tuesday lol
A fabulously inspirational story that I have now released as a song called The Underground Railroad!
👍 Great movie,well acted but the runaway slave has a NYC accent
😆😂
creamcorn surprize maybe the slave was a house servant.
Creamcorn surprize - You are right...LoL! I noticed that as well. It through me off a bit, but I forgot about it after while. Funny to know someone else was hearing the exact same thing. However, I still enjoyed the movie a lot.
@Robinson Pittman My point was the child had NYC accent and the rest of the cast did not, just common sense. By the way, I know history.
@@jadapalmer4356 Thank you for your attention to detail as well. Have a blessed day.
Wonderful movie!
It's true.l'm from Brazil l'm white.but l like Black people cause my daugther IS Black. I love my daugther a lot.
Cute story thank you
Sharing is caring shared this
I agree beloved.
I enjoyed this movie!
We need a day for Harriet Tubman to be a holiday.
The truth is, WE DON'T NEED ANY EUROPEAN AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS holidays! They ALL trace their roots back to EUROPE 1 to 3 centuries ago... last i checked, THAT MAKES THEM IMMIGRANTS! AMERICAN 1828 look up it's meaning? Also look up Christopher Columbus writings and what he said he saw when they invaded AMERICA!
We need not wait for some legal day....we can just pick a day and honor her
Taalibah Qatadah As Siddiq
It will never be done anyway with Trump in office ! It was voted for her to be placed on $20.00 bill ! They took it off the table, said “it would be delayed ! “
SHE DO NEED TO BE 🎖 EVERYONE ELSE IS SHE WAS A BRAVE BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN I SO PROUD OF HER SHE GAVE HER ON LIFE TO SAVE OTHERS I WOULD HAVE BEEN SCARED TO DO THAT BY THEN
BUT SHE DIDN'T CARE SHE WANT HER PEOPLE FREE
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

❤💚💜💙💛
LOVE YOU HARRIET TUBMAN
She is on the Canadian 10.00 bill. I wonder what does Bill C-10 means? I must research it
mr bounty hunter is nerve wrecking.

Good episode
Lady Harriet mentioned that the Queen of England at the time Queen Elizabeth was one of her allies.
These kids really dont know how to stick with a plan.
I'm watching now
Thank GOD for Abraham Lincoln, the Union Army including 186,000 former slaves and for Harriet Tubman.
Why did you add her name last??? She did much more to help slaves than Lincoln.
Why do we never hear of those unsung heroes, the gracious white ppl who gave all the help along the way? I've never heard one story about one white family tht helped all tht time, all those years. I commend them all.
Maybe their good Christian selves didn't want to be comended? I'm sure those YT families had journals and records. And I'm also sure that those families have been mentioned in Books and other literature.
The Abolitionists . . . they were God's pepl & they helped Harriett Tubman & many others along their way to freedom. We can not & shld not ignore this fact. I don't believe our ancestors cld hv done it w/OUT these pepl opening their homes to OUR pepl. Let us acknowledge these pepl which were God's angels. Thank you Goode Gal for bringing this to light since many others gloss over their contributions. God Bless Harriet Tubman for never giving up on her vision . . .
There were many kind hearted white people who helped, Susan B Anthony, John Brown, John Quincy Adams and even was said that Queen Victoria sent money to Harriet Tubman to help.
