NMAAHC founding director Lonnie Bunch considers Harriet Tubman’s hymnal to be one of the great original objects the museum will display. Bunch tells Scott Pelley how he became aware of it.
GIMME WHAT HARRIET TUBMAN HAD A TRUE SERVANT OF GOD, ILL TAKE WHAT SHE HAD AGAINST ALL THE FAME AND RICHES OF THIS WORLD!!!!! TOUCHING THAT HYMAL,IF I COULD AND ID BE BLESSED!!!!!
MARYLANDER here! Maryland PROUD of Harriet Tubman! She was one amazing , brave , courageous , woman ! She is an American heroine! Everyone needs to learn about Harriet Tubman ! And live their lives by her example! Or as Dr. MLK Jr. would say " What have you done to help others"?
C D I attended the college that Mr Blockson worked at and I always heard from other students about the boxes of black history items he owned. I believe he had the largest personal black history collection. He had a reputation for not being a nice person so that not want to go to him and request to see his collection.
Charles Blockson from Temple University in Philadelphia. I’m a graduate of Temple U and while I was attending Temple I always heard about his extensive collection of black history material. Unfortunately, I never took the time to go see it while attending Temple. Maybe I will go back to view the collection.
It wasn’t even just being a conductor, as if that wasn’t enough, I mean she was the first known woman to lead a umilitary attack and liberation of hundreds, she was a nurse/medic to soldiers of all colors and creeds in the Civil War, led a network of spies and gathered critical intelligence for the Union, was an incredibly influential activist and lecturer, a suffragist, founded schools, then ran a nursing home I believe it was non-profit, until her end days!! AND did a Rosa Parks move on a train until a literal group of people had to pile on to physically remove this five foot tall woman, she was so determined. I mean seriously! 🤯🤯🤯💛💛💛
12Sisters 1bride In order to bring her legacy and history to life, her hymnal should be held and preserved in the African American Museum. The sight of it brings people to tears, and brings out an emotional connection from the viewer. Mr. Bunch said the hymnal and other personal items were in boxes stored in basements and attics. The museum will make sure it will be preserved for future generations to view as a reminder not only of the reality of slavery, but as an inspiration of hope and ability to overcome and succeed.
@@mgnaly1 you made a very valid point.however,i would want my personal items stored with one of my descendents.i must've made that statement a bit personal,what i would want,and not in a man's museum or collection.even if it is in a box in the attic or basement,just keep it in the hands of my descendents.
@@12sisters1bride7 Make sure its outlined specifically in your will to keep your personal possessions in the hands of your descendants and state you do not want your possessions sold or put on public display.
In her house in auburn ny there are very few of her belonging there... they say the bed is hers she used at her brothers home and her bible... I do agree with something being left with the family.. bt MAMA HARRIET was a woman of her ppl... and it can be preserved properly in a museum for generations
I call full bull on that. I met the great great grandson of the alleged Nat Turner. After sitting and talking with this man, he seemed less than a bit of interested in taking control of the "legacy". He seemed more comfortable receiving residuals and royalties, and leaving the essentials up to White Folk. He was a computer programmer, and content with that position as his main stay. Black folk shirk when it comes to legacy.
Harriet Tubman was America's Joan of Arc so im afraid of what "Hollywood" will do. Ms Tubman was against enslavement being portrayed on the stage ( check the autobiography ) because she felt actors could NEVER get the horrors of enslavement produced/ portrayed in an authentic manner. Read her Books...
I was very excited about the movie until... the actress that portrays her disrespected her legacy and the ppl she risked it all for. I won’t support the movie
Yeah Ive been looking at other videos and like bantu culture which was good majority of africa during that time had words in their language based off hebrew origins.. which means if their language was heavily influenced by the Hebrews then our ancestors knew about bible and God long before slavery. they used the bible and twisted and preverted the Holy word to work in their favor and to feel like slavery was or destiny
There were no "christ-lie-ans" in the OT, that's their nt add on bs. No mention of jesus aka lucifer the fallen one in the original testament the only testament which is the Old Testament! The history of black people the real Hebrews who were enslaved for turning their/our backs from TMH! No hope in casper nor that nt no testament book of lies.
@@iAmKishaP Christianity in its true form is about liberation through the almighty god and christ. the bible prophecised that many would make false claims in his name, but that god does not know them. They did the same to my people in latin america with catholocism which is supposed to be "christianity" but ive freed myself from it and found true christianity in christ himself.

We talking about her in my black history class in college now.
I can’t say enough about this Phenomenal lady named “Moses.” The hand of GOD was with her, every step she made to freedom !

+Agent Orange ~ Kijan ou ye?
+GraceandPeace ~ Free the land❣️
I don't think she would want that.she was not a happy soul in this land of captivity.
I’m not either😑
Imagine someone just randomly having one history most wanted objects...in a box...I'm blown away!!

Harriet Tubman-
An absolutely amazing woman!
I hope Harriet Tubman's descendants turn up and are like...that right there? That's mine.
Imagine being Mme Harriet and telling your Mom you are Moses🔥🔥🔥🔥🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

Don't support the movie the actress disrespected us and our history!!
I was very excited about the movie until... the actress that portrays her disrespected her legacy and the ppl she risked it all for. I won’t support the movie
the movie is full of falsehood, making a white man her hero . . . such a shame that white supremacy will not tell the truth.
Love it 😍
I want to hear that sweet little old lady sang her song
Amazing !
Wow I would be nervous to hold it fragile like glass sort of speak
AMEN 🙏♥️

If Christianity was forced on my ppl to make them obey their masters... How credible is this hymnal???
