Glenn -- Thank you so much for this interview and for bringing this woman to my attention. This woman is doing God's work, bring grace to the most painful broken situations. She is a miracle to me.
oof! impactful stuff, I was on the verge of tears and had to give in around the 44:30 mark. Make this woman the first non-partisan president of your country. Also, Glenn! You've handled this interview masterly, it should be recquired viewing for future interviewers or those who want to improve themselves in their metier/.
I love that! “I will not be quiet” That just impacts me. She needs to be given the spotlight and she needs to be Center stage. She is speaking some truth, and you can tell because people want her to shut up. I will be finding a way to donate to her cause.
“You tell me that the man who you believe murdered your daughter gave you the finger?” “In court, sure did... that’s the level of disrespect we’re dealing with on the street”
If I found myself in Sylvia's position of people shooting at her house to intimidate her, I would arm myself as well. That's one reason I think the 2nd amendment is important, though I don't find myself in a situation where I need to arm myself. My respect for Sylvia increased when I learned that she is able to wield deadly force and has not used that power to take revenge.
Sylvia is a beautiful and shining human light, a model of love for all of us. Keep telling the truth and shaming the devil Sylvia! Some highlights for me towards the end. GL: How would you feel about connecting with families who have lost children to mass shootings? “Violence is violence. The pain a mother goes through putting her child in the ground or in a vault with the hopes to see them one day spiritually-there’s no description for that kind of pain. And there’s no economic lines for that kind of pain. There’s no color lines for that kind of pain. We [mothers] all experience that kind of pain…we share the same hurt….It’s a mother’s pain.” GL: Why do you think, Sylvia, that I know the names of the mothers of Michael Brown, and Travon Martin, and Eric Gardener and George Floyd, but I didn’t know your name until today? “Because you can’t make money off my baby. I’m gonna tell the truth and shame the devil! That’s something my grandmother used to say.”
I've listened to this talk twice now. I was reminded of Sylvia and her strength after reading a few social media posts about "if my child didn't come home from... x, y, or z... I'd burn it all down, too." Why movements that advocate for authentic change don't get more societal attention, I'll never understand. Don't forget Sylvia Bennett-Stone has a book: Mind Fields: A Healing Journey to Survive the Murder of a Child
I am in awe of this courageous woman. As a mother, my heart breaks for her and her family. I went to voicesofblackmothers.com and made a donation. I hope you all will as well.
I’ve lived in Birmingham since 2003 and in that time, countless civilians and police officers have been murdered in our streets. Yet the national media covers none of it. I went to the viewing of Marcus Smith, murdered in Birmingham in December 2010. Why haven’t we heard of this mother before now? Shame on legacy media for letting her work go uncovered.
Had to find you after your great interview with Tucker Carlson. Keep giving these families a voice. So sad to hear a colleague at the Woodson Center lost a grandchild to community violence on Memorial week-end. The elite white liberals who say defunding police is the answer are despicable.
I must ask, where are the fathers, their love and their sorrows in this conversation? Surely there are men active in this movement. Why are we not discussing the shared grief and efforts of all the parents?
I think it would help humanity and unity if groups would stop putting the word black in front of their group name. With that being said I am sorry for what she has gone through. She seems to be an amazing woman doing great things.
My heart breaks for this lady, but who is raising the men doing this? Mother's Voices, Mothers of the Movement, etc. Without fathers they will continue to look for male leadership and camaraderie on the streets.
I wonder if they ever see support from #blacklivesmatter for this positive movement for an by black people who offer constructive support to eachother in dire times!
Moms please first move your kids out of violent community without law and order. Focus group or equity office or certain movement are not going change violence and crime.
But do they talk to young girls about having children very young and not having the father in the house? Their mission takes affect after the life is lost. Wouldn't it be better to stop the violence before the life is lost?
Dealing with a crisis after the fact is a completely different job than the one you’re referring to and we have no reason to expect her to handle both ends. I’d argue helping grieving mothers just might be undermined if you follow it up with implying they’re shouldn’t have had the kid in the first place. Just a thought.
Sylvia should be nominated for sainthood. I’m in awe of her unbelievable strength.
It is people like her, who make this world a better place. I'm going to spread her word!
This woman is the role model people need
God bless you, Sylvia Bennett-Stone! What you do is very important!
This is a group I can get behind and support! I am so saddened by her story and in awe of her courage.....and I can't stop crying for her loss.
I hope every single person that watched this gave something to her organization. Even just a dollar. This is how we heal our communities.
I am going to donate. My only family, my sister was murdered fifty years ago. Still waiting for justice and her remains.

Yes this was a very emotional one for me!

Accessory to murder: life in prison without parole
Murderer: well, we couldn’t find the weapon, so... 🤯
“You tell me that the man who you believe murdered your daughter gave you the finger?”
“In court, sure did... that’s the level of disrespect we’re dealing with on the street”
This woman is so much more of a stronger person than I. This man would not be walking this Earth anymore if I were in her shoes....
I’m so sorry beautiful mother. How strong you are. Thank you for making a positive difference in your community.
Wow, so powerful ! Her Authentic voice really moved me. So different from the buzzword filled narratives you hear which just seem so empty now.
Why this video doesn't have more views?
Sylvia Bennett-Stone thank you. "It was that one officer". So powerful. So Simple. So sorry for your loss maam. You are making a difference.
Very moving, enlightening, and inspiring. Thank you so much, Sylvia and Glenn.
For an hour I felt the presence of greatness. This woman is remarkable.
Wonderful conversation. Thanks to Sylvia & Glenn for your honestly.
What a remarkable woman.
Such respect for her. Something to cling to in the darkness. Thank you, both, for this.
A powerful interview. Thank you.
Well this was harsh to listen to! What a character she is. Thank You.
Painful to watch, but that is completely outshined by her strength and inspiration.
My face was twisted up like Glenn's the whole time tho
That's the definition of a true super hero 🏆
I saw the title and I couldn't click any faster.

Wow, that was tough. Compelling.
Agreed. This is so tough. Wow.

Wow, what an important different perspective. I'm grateful to be exposed to this

God bless you Sylvia. I know a version of your pain and I'm sorry.

Incredible Heroism.

First comment! Thank you Glenn for all you do!
sylvia is my hero.
Extraordinary woman
Love the show!
He was acquitted because it was a black jury. Why they want to allow a criminal back into their community? I will never understand.
This is what a hero(ine) looks like...
I must ask, where are the fathers, their love and their sorrows in this conversation? Surely there are men active in this movement. Why are we not discussing the shared grief and efforts of all the parents?

44:28 The truth, 100%
She’s a badass

It would be better, but someone also has to do the part she/they are doing.
There are efforts that way as well. They need more attention.

@@samuelwolf2779 I'm not but you don't really hear about people working the other end.
