- Is this Nat Turner's skull? The legacy of Nat Turner continues to be rewritten. An enslaved African-American preacher, he led a small army of slaves to kill 55 white Virginians beginning on August 21, 1831. The rebellion was quickly suppressed, and Turner went into hiding. He was captured just over two months later, tried, and sentenced to death. It's rumored that, in an attempt to crush his legacy, his body was decapitated and pieces of his tanned skin were given out as souvenirs. For the past decade, what's believed to be Turner's skull has been in the possession of Richard Hatcher, former mayor of Gary, Indiana. Recently, he turned it over to Turner's fourth-generation descendants, who have enlisted forensic experts for testing.

Yes he killed children who had the potential to grow up to be just like their slave owning parents... Remember in biblical time God wiped out the whole blood line, He didn't leave room for evil to multiply...
Your not retarded you're beautiful !
Leo Huynh Thank you 😗😚
using the bible to justify murdering children. holy fuck, you are a sick freak.
Ass Bread Thanks 😆
Makeup Prodigy my ancestors never enslaved a single person. and even if they did, I would have nothing to do with it. use your fucking mind.
Nate turner should be nominated for the nobel peace prize.
Peace Prize? His rebellion and him killed 60 people. Including innocent women and children.
no doubt. Im not even blk, but much respect. hes a hero for the way he stood up to those wht pos!!!!
@@CoopFerg innocent?......bro, they were slave owners that deserved what was coming to them
@@CoopFerg i wish i could go back and see the look on the slave master's faces as they were slaughtered by nat turner, it would have been priceless
Cooper F Innocent? Lmao those slaves they killed weren’t innocent? Yea okay
He is A HERO. I'm happy the family have a piece of him to bury respectfully. That man was sick and tired of the inhumane treatment. Salute!
jonessabrina48 Yep yep
jonessabrina48 how is he a hero
OnlyDeluxe But it was gonna be a whole cycle
thanks bro still dont care about your feelings tho
OnlyDeluxe LMFAO . my god you can’t be serious
I truly appreciate Nat Turner
Good one go self sterilize before we have to give the nat Turner treatment in reverse.
Only if there were more black men like him smh. Praise the ancestor
You want murders? Unless you mean brave
@@iAmMadeOfSoup It's *brave, intelligent black men* with the integrity and character to do what needs to be done not "being murderers" but I would expect you to "know the difference"?
@theboi will Exactly. Deflecting.
@@theguyfromnowhereoldchanne6242 exactly
@@dombryant2563 and @Timmy Well said gentlemen. Well said...
Nat Turner was a true Warrior, RIP thank you Rest Easy sir!
His skull is so clean, cool even in death.
so much of a true warrior that he slays kids during his rebellion too
anyone in his shoes would've done the same thing
Rollin Sixties not anyone, lots of folks just went along with whatever master said. And that’s a fact
Stg thats what i said
No not all lmao
@trash 6anditz there needed to be more Nat's then
He was an uneducated murderer and good luck with his bones when good people find out where they are and throw them to a pack of wild dogs.
I respect Nat Turner need to be more like him
Fun fact Nat Turner actually escaped at 21 and came back after a month just because he believed he would lead a rebellion
That's cool thandk
You reap what you sow...
That's fair.
I seriously am unhappy with children being beaten to death.
But you can't treat a human being like an animal, treat their mom like an animal and expect no striking out like an animal. There's only so much people could take.
The only person whom is at fault is those who enslaved them.
He did.
@Hurricane Polk Legends never die...
Its crazy that there is no update. Was this authenticated to be his skull?
I'm glad he did what he did. I just wish there was a Nat Turner for the new millennium.
Rest in Power Nat!
Nat Turner..Rest In Peace King!!💯💯💯
There are many more of Nat Turner descendant, like myself and it would be a blessing to get to know who the rest of my family is.... I Love Nat Turner with all my heart and Nat Turner always been apart of my life because, my father always talked about him we I was young. From my side of the family there are 10 of and 3 adults that are Nat Turner descendant's. Plus many more
Imagine crying and not dropping a single tear.
Nat Turner would be considered a national hero in a sane society.
Wow I'm doing my 7th grade taking a stand in history on Nat Turner
I'm just contemplating how inappropriate it would be if I quoted Django Unchained right now.
Honoring someone that stood up💕🐾🐶😻🌺
His spirit left that box and was finally free. Ol girl almost passed out from those strong frequencies
They should donate it to the African American Museum.
Is there also a White American Museum?
+Abstract1984 Yes.
Museums have been catching hell for decades for keeping bones.I can't see any museum today accepting skull donations.
yup, every other fucking museum
I believe someone tried at one point before they found his descendants, they can't keep human remains
Can’t believe I’m just now seeing this. People back then really tried to erase him from history, what those racists did to his body after they executed him…sickening.
Just think if all the slaves rebelled like Nat Turner did.. Would they have been wrong to kill everything that wasn't of them? Sad world we live in....
There were actually about 313 documented slave insurrections. Nat Turner's was the only one that lasted the longest and had the biggest impact. Many attempted insurrections were found out before they came into fruition.
Julia Beverly Source ?
Thank you Nat Turner for all that you did
Much respect for what he did can't kill off an legend rest finally brother
This should of made the News !! This is amazing
I wish they would let a really good forensic reConstruction artist, rebuild his face. Trust me, it can be done. That way we know what he truly looked like before they bury him!!!
Swing back and fight for freedom. Salute to nat turner,american hero!
Amazing
We love you NAT TURNER long live great NAT TURNER
I've heard that it still happens in developing nations, or less prosperous nations.
Nat Turner's rebellion was an omen that slavery would soon end with the price of blood...
Some of Nat Turner’s remains were just returned not long ago. He was killed in 1931
Nat was no joke
He was a true warrior for standing up for his rights n luv the way how he did it too
Great.
P.S. I was either first or second by that's irrelevant.
But they choose not to help us but continue to make money off our dead ancestors. I’m so happy that they gave our King back.
My last name is turner and I'm watching this like is he related to me?
How they gone pray to the same mf he praised and didnt save him
Talking about slave rebelion..why don't talk about Haitian success revolution against land tenures, now who really need international attention & help..
exactly. in fact the only slave rebellion thats popularly talked about in a very mainstream way is spartacus, when no one really talks about 3 other very harrowing and inspiring revolts, this one with nat turner, the one led by john brown, and of course the only succesful one, haiti.
The Rogue Empire To much eurocentric history in a global world..(i'm european..XD) i supose was by interests because that revolutions was centuries ago but attached de status quo of the industial revolution ages..with a problems to much similar to the present..
I supose by the same way, in any story book can read of the jew holocaust, but wasn't than usually to see talking with the same terms of the native american genocide or the africans kidnaped from their towns to be slaves..is sad SETI search inteligent live in other planets, and a little bit more than a half century we can't see inteligent our own specie only because the origin and skin color.. :/
(sorry to my english..)
that didn't happen in America 🇺🇸, it's historical not taking nothing from it, but it didn't happen here
How do they know that its his skull tho?
How do they not know that its his skull tho?
@Adolf Hitler so ur saying it could be Neanderthal??
Maybe dna tests
I hope you descendants are proud of him.
it is so special that he was given back to his family after all this time. Such a tragic ending for him, when he was doing what should have been done to those rancid people anyways.
We love you King Nat
Cheap memory for unhappy and afraid of life people.
Gestures and pathos manner of speaking of these people is ridiculous and terrible.
Welt Rogg sounds like you're more bothered by it than they are though lol. Congratulations, you played yourself. Lol
He worked and Rised now he can rest, Rip Nat Turner
I read the stories of Reverend Nat Turner he ground into grease he was disrespected that's what I read
Nat Turner was a hero and will always be one one! I look up to him and learn a lot from him
Nat Turner was quartered. Basically kept some of his body parts as souvenirs.
How do they know that's Nat Turner's skull, what happen to his body after he was executed?
djeto2525 They used parts of his body for wheel grease.
He was quartered. Basically kept some of his body parts as souvenirs.
Nat turner is my cousin on my dad side they are from Franklin Virginia Cortland but back in the day it used to be called Jerusalem but it is very country and Southern
And the fight continues... I can’t breathe, in a society that can’t see how long they have been suffocating us.
For the family to get a proper burial for Nat Turner historical and an honour God bless for the family
The goat
Ive been to where he was hung my grandfather’s house is not to far from there in south hampton county but they cut the tree down
Okay, my only question(s) are is this really good skull? And does it's DNA match Mat Turner's descendants?
cool
How did the black mayor get the skull if it's really Turner's skull, we know he didn't kill Turner tell that story!!!
Cuz he got it from someone, been passed down maybe
When he was captured he was cut to pieces and ground down to grease stories told I remember it because I have that book book it contradicts the stories and I read the same conclusion
185 year old son, realize that’s only 2 grandparents ago. That’s 2 , 92 year olds ago. Let it sink in
Why is she sooo emotional...she never even knew him😂
There is no way to substantiate the claim of being his descendant. he did not mention offspring among any of the reports of his last words and there is not official record of any vital statistics that would indicate a child of his.
having his skull is disrespectful to me
They buried it
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Hosea 4:6 KJV
How do they no if is the real skull of nat turner and don't say DNA they say it was the time period of the skull can't go on that surely
How do they know that's nats skull that could've been anybody skull,where's the proof.i dont believe it show me proof.
they skined him? omg
He should of skinned all them wht slave owners first
Crazy to think im related to him
back in that time they were called Good people in the one who control the slave.
I did a seven-page report on this nigga in college. He was crazy.
Kikimiafu forreal, what he do?
how was he crazy
If he was crazy, slavery caused his insanity.
Blaxsaidwhat? WE WUZ KINGZ N SHIT
+Blaxsaidwhat? Very true. The idea of chattle slavery was crazy.
Frederick Douglass looking pretty good
Not fredrick Douglas's.
This guy was a real hero
*Eventually finds out that it isn't part of Nat Turner*
Alpha X very inappropriate attempt Certain subjects just shouldn't be joked about.
Do y'all think after this man was chough he told who his family was nal they didn't tell the full store him and his family was hidden buy the real Indians how could he say they if they did not look like him
❤️
I want to say he is very proud of you
Who has the skull before the Hatchard
Guy
Even his skull looks 😠...smdh
She goin sell the skull she too happy
She buried him
Who ever this person was, he looks badass as a skull! 🇺🇸 🦅
I don’t believe this not one bit. This must be the skull of Fredrick Douglas
I’m with the ideals nat turners had but I’m not with the way he did things like I don’t really think it’s ok to be running around murdering people but I get his reason why he did it
Since the connferates have a flag we should have a statue and flag of Nat Turner, huh?
And they ate him and made him soap crazy
Those people claiming to be nat's descendants should be DNA tested they look mixed
You can still be mixed and be related to someone as far as 180+ years ago dude
@Raghib Ali How tf are you gonna benefit off a skull?
Black families come in all different complexes..not a big deal
.just because you are not dark doesn't make you mixed....peace
@Mike Ball happy Black History month..continue to learn....as stated black families come in different complexions ..no big deal ..you know these women??? Look like black women to me.....i bet if you saw me you would swear that i was mixed...smile...come on young person..black is beautiful in its many colors......peace...praise God from whom all blessings flow....why Nat Turner?? He is a part of American History

Mr. Nat Turner is a American hero and a leader. Rip, King
not gonna lie her crying is very annoying...
Joseph Martinez true
Even more than the the Jennifer Tilly voice?
525Lines close lol
+Joseph Martinez what is annoying is all that phony hoopla over 911. I laugh at your asses every time I see you people carry on about those buildings coming down and can't wait until the next time you devils get it.
It should be a paid holiday in Nate Turner honor
