- In order for African Americans to build a community in Southwest Florida they had to overcome slavery, segregation and prejudice. Because of local heroes in the early years, doors were opened for local African Americans to flourish. Now, a special group of people have untold stories to tell about endurance, motivation, determination and inspiration to teach us what life was like before the time of integration.
The sunshine state has a rich and colorful history. For hundreds of years the state has attracted dreamers, opportunists, inventors and fortune-seekers. WGCU's Untold Stories aims to preserve the history of Southwest Florida communities.

Thank God I was born Black we suffered so much but we are still standing strong only if we could come together
Right
Its not about the color of your skin its about TMH chosen ppl which are the Israelites!
@Cescabell, yes read what Lord Jesus said about people who undergo long suffering. "....Bless are those who are meek and the poor for theirs shall inherit the Heaven and the Earth..., my people shall Overcome suffering...." and they'll become strong - like the palm tree which leaves grow towards the heaven yet strong and not easily to fall. In Biology scientific study concerning gene. The dominant gene when comes to color black, brown, purple, red, are the dominant colour. Try to do painting and mix the lighter paint and the dark paint. Make experiment and see. God Bless you my deer.
Sweetheart Tubman never existed…stop letting whites dictate YOUR history
Felt this one more love and life to all my beautiful brothers and sisters 🤍🤞🏾
I am White..born in 1959..My best friend in 2nd grade was black..we made friends on our school bus and it upset some white kids and I remember getting so upset at such a young age and even mad at some of my family members...it didn't make any sense that my friend couldn't spend the night with me or couldn't even come over to play with me...I wish I knew her today! I am so ashamed of how my own color acted then and even more so today that it is still on going!I know that there are many that feel as I do now...Thank you for this video..
I'm so sorry this happened to you in America, but it still hurts that friend as well, if you could ever ask them
Thank you for texting your life with your friend.
That happens a lot in Catholic communities but not so much in communities that do not have many Catholics.
Ma'am u shouldn't be ashamed u was just a child.it is ashamed for people hate politics because the color of there skin .they think they are better then blacks
You know a good ❤ ed person when you see them,because they do not judge by color,they judge by right or wrong.A lot of white people worry about what the next white person gone say the reason they can't stand up for whats right.My grandma always said to me man don't have no heaven or hell to put you in.But God show do,so i alway try to treat everyone right,because that's the i want to be treated.Right!!!
Black people have been oppressed so cruelly but yet keep on going, beautiful people.
I think what the white man couldn't destroy is what is inherently in every black human being. Our spirit.. it never dies no matter what it endures.
I agree.
Yes sir every aboriginals has that spirit.
Yes!!! And with that being said, my spirit has rejected things we should not be celebrating such as all these pagan holidays. I told my mom we were erroneously taught things from her mom to her mom's mom etc....
💪🏾💪🏾Absolutely❤️
Danny G that is so true and remember we were already here as you know , I'm sure I'm not the only one who can attest to this a lot of places I go in amurdica I feel like something was done to my people as well as the fight they put up to keep turtle 🐢 island my spirit is very strong if you allow it will open your mind to the truth for most part..... very good point 💯👊🏾
Notice they prayed before they delivered the baby.Bless Mother Perry
My black peoples has been through so much all because of skin color I love ❤️ my black peoples .
Amen Amen
❤️
What ever the reason for our suffering, the perpetuators can still not develop our spirit or soul in a lab. They r still void of God. Love to all.
It's not because of skin color that's just 1 of the propaganda tools thats been working for so long to cover-up the spiritual aspect of it...It goes back to Cain and Able, Jacob and Esau, and today so-called white people and so-called blacks, hispanics, native and seminole indians.
@@judahisrael4189 so what’s the reason then
*the first shall be last and the last shall be first, shalom, feathers up* ✊🏾
Needed to hear that. Forgot about it for years. Very applicable today no doubt.
Amen🙏

All praises to the Most High YAH!
This is hard. We still fight and we won’t stop
It seems like we're waking up now. We have to start using our vote to demand for what we want. We also have to know our enemy because the enemy is getting smarter as well.
@@wigcap7012 your statement is true worldwide!
As a black man on the Continent of Afrika,I have always loved to learn about Black people in America and other parts of the World.I have learnt a lot indeed 😊 through Videos and Books Written by Dr Claud Anderson.It pains me so much looking at what Segregation and apartheid (separation) on the Continent of Afrika did to us..and our Parents.We will be re-united,our dignity restored, as one big Family 🌲.
Hello...how are you? Yes it is very painful...but i wqnt you to look up Dane Calloway on UA-cam please... Our True History. All our history was told by the white ppl who did us this way... Peace my brother.
12 Tribes of Israel all over the globe is waking up to our true nationality...Main reason why the daughter of Babylon is falling aka America the mother of harlots time is up my King is coming back with fierce anger for the atrocities done to his bloodline of people...
Jeremiah 50:33
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.”
@@judahisrael4189 America backs Israel and God recognizes this and America has fought evil and brought freedom all over the world. The Catholics and the Catholic church and those various churches with similar false belief systems are the description of the Mystery Babylon and the Antichrist and all that is connected that is mentioned in the book of Revelations.
@@pierresmith5145 You mean the Catholics did you that way and not all the Catholics or even the Ecumenical Catholics are white people. By the way some of my ancestors were Scottish and white and were owned in the past as slaves by the people of England who are also white but they were Catholic slave owners of England. The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil and some do not even appear to have money but they do.
@@pierresmith5145 he's not American he's african
I love my people.
I love my Black people culture it's Special

My granddaddy used to tell me about south west Florida back in the 40s after he and his family returned back from living in Cuba how they had a thriving black community and how some blacks wanted to keep it segregated
i be telling people that segregation wasn’t all bad,
@@shadonnamarie93 right
I would love to live in a "thriving" Black Township today.
These people were so decent, noble, philanthropic and all around loving for those in their community. I would love to have known them. Their experiences were priceless. So touching.
Are you aware that the East Indians of Africa were recently kicked out of African Countries?
Yes very much so! I would love to be able to go back in time and listen and see some of the things they were doing. That would be priceless, as the work and books they wrote. Especially, George Edwin Taylor, I would love to know what his thoughts were about FDR when he ran against him for President. My father was named John Edward Taylor, and I believe that as his last name is Taylor he may have been one of my Grandfather's ancestors. Thank you for sharing with us.
"What goes on in the dark will always be revealed in the light"... The only way the nation can heal is to talk and reconcile our differences.
This nation will never heal Ms. Livingston. This nation as we know it now was something different and belonged to someone else. Taken from those who rightfully own it, then built it the way they wanted it by evil methods excluding any and every one of a different race. Built on a rotten foundation and the house is divided. Not biblically possible for this house to stand, unless, however, there is a moral revival and a major coming to Jesus then we might have a chance to get it right. I wouldn't count on it.
Reconcile WITH WHO ?? And WHAT DIFFERENCES.

I’am so proud to be an Africa American and Our people ancestors have been threw so much.
I wish they would teach this in schools across the US...The fact that slavery happened is very sad and tragic and everyone should learn about it. This generation is not that far removed from the generation of when it happened. It wasn’t that long ago.
They do teach this in school. Lol
Those babies are so beautiful absolutely gorgeous
The part when she said "Santa Claus wouldn't let her sit on his lap"...and that it hurt her mama feelings...THAT HURT ME TO THE CORE💔😥 How could people treat children that way!!!!!
Me too, I got teary eyed. Those things still effects us today.
The same way police in August 2020 in Colorado can handcuff make 6-17 year old girls lie face down for two hours on hot asphalt in a car park. Those people have not been fired.
If her grandmother's knowledge wasn't stolen from her by the devils that took them from their palace in the mother land then her mother would not be sad because she didn't get to sit on the devil's lap.
@@homodeus8713 wow.i never heard about that
My
Blood boiled when she shared her experience. Sad but education for black Americans hasn’t changed much.
Love this history of our people . Makes me so proud how strong they were even back then.
Grandma looks good , and is sharp as a tack 🥰
I'm from Miami..This going to sound crazy but my grandma once told me alot Blacks down here didn't like when school was desegregated of course she had long finshed, so that meant ppl round my mom & uncles age didn't want it..Because things they learn in Black schools,You wouldn't learn in the White one. And that a feeling of closeness was gone. I thought that was interesting.
My grandmother always said desegregation was the worst thing for the black community because the communities were thriving prior
You’re right
I STILL feel this way. We lost EVERYTHING including our NATIVE Black American identity integrating into white society & made them richer.
We had our family own teachers. They taught us how to live in our world and the white world.
Feeling of safety was gone too I’m sure of it
I AM BLACK AND IM PROUD.🙏.
Many have said: "Let's Make amerika
Great Again" but my question is when was this country ever great ???
Exactly, Nevaaaaaa
Don't kid yourself Jimmie Lee. America is GREAT now, and as a matter of fact it has always been great! The reason why is because America's greatness, is simply it's "Ideal." It's what we strive for. It's constitutional foundation provides a genuine basis for all of it's people to strive for. I could go on here with a litany of whys and wherefores about why we are, and always have been Great! But, suffice it to say, that those echoing the "Make America Great Again," slogan, are really saying, lets go back to before civil rights amendments, voting rights bills, and other attempts to legitimize other people. Lets go back to a time when it was clear that being a white person meant you were recognized as having special privileges, such as sitting in the front of the bus, or drinking from designated fountains, etc. Those days are really gone and never coming back. No matter how loud the separatist scream, or how many capitals they attempt to take over, or how many citizens they deny the vote, those days are gone! The fact that America, is great, and always has been great, allowed those treasonous terrorist to express themselves, instead of slaughtering them in the streets like it was in the "Great Again" days. Now hopefully, this Great America will execute the laws of this "Great America," and lock their as___ up. That will further show them, America is Great!
@@djking8416 By the way Melania Trump speaks 8 different languages and Donald Trump stopped a war from happening in Africa. Perhaps some people do not like him because he was supportive toward Israel and Jerusalem. He also refused a salary as President and worked for free and he refused any Presidential retirement money. A racist person does not generally marry someone who obviously has a foreign accent. But of course a lot of people did not like Bill Clinton either who was definitely not racist and brought America out of a deficit . It was amazing that Bill Clinton even got elected as a Baptist lawyer from Arkansas.
America is great Lovett or leave it stop making excuses people go out and get a damn job no such thing as systemic racism that's just an excuse
That part my dude! This country is a big fraud.
These people are the descendants of courageous heroes, undeniably, the fruits of the creator.
My roots are from congo, 7 generations ago, they where brouth from africa as slaves
In to Puerto Rico, i am a black boricua,native American indian anf arabic
Absolutely I'm also boricua and my family were from blonde blue eyes very very white looking to as black as can be so we experienced the same treatment especially in the southern states
I'm a descendant of the Seminole Indians. My great grandpa live, married, ate, and fought with Florida Indians. He became free and migrated with Florida Indians to remain free. He became an interpreter to speak for Indians to the white man and from the white man to the Indians because he knew both languages. He and his wife who was Indian had 5 children. My grandfather was one of the children. They eventually settled in a community called Sasakwa Oklahoma. Where my great grandpa had a chance to be in the landrush. He accumulate a lot of land. He Farm his land. But could planet certain things. He raised his children all 5 in that community. He dedicated property to the community to have a school, church, and cemetery for that community.
Have you heard the song called Seminole Wind by John Anderson. By the way the Scottish have been good to the Indians and they like to play The Last of the Mohicans on the Bagpipes. Stay away from the Catholics including the Spanish Catholics though even if they seem nice.
I believe it would have been nice to meet have met some of the black people's fought with the Indians to be free from slavery.
It interesting to non of these people spoke with venom or hatered ! Yet the man that enslaved their grand parents and parent usually speaks viciously about the people they abused ! Wow !
💯I think about this often.
@@Remedi88 So do i
That’s because we African Americans are the true Israelites and the Most High has spoken for us in Isaiah 14:1 and Revelation 13:10.
History is sad and beautiful at the same time.
Black American history in Florida has been going on since the 1500s
Way before then.
You negras need to look up the olmec
Since time immemorial the oldest burial site is in NW Florida along with oldest found hunting site 100k plus both in Florida

Separation was the best thing for us, we lost our community. I loved everything that I we had in our neighborhood we had love. B1!!!
its segregation not separation
This is a really nice expose of Black history in South West Florida. We need more videos like this uncovering and discovering our Black history; especially since a lot of the people who lived during those times are in the process of leaving us forever.
When he talked about military service it really touched me. I was raised in a family where we were taught that it was our duty to serve. From the age of 9 I dreamt of enlisting in the NAVY. I begged my mom to sign the papers to let me go at 16 when I graduated from high school but she made me wait until I was 18. In basic it was discovered that I have a form of muscular dystrophy and I was disqualified. My little brother chose the ARMY a few years later. He was a medic on the front lines in Tikrir, Iraq. He almost lost his life and is permanently disabled. He was awarded a purple heart yet he's still treated as a second class citizen. It angers me. He deserves better than what he's gotten. Both from our government and the people. The medical care is subpar at best. They couldn't erase his burn scars nor could they remove the shrapnel that is permanently embedded throughout his body. The physical scars don't matter as much as the mental ones. I can't fix him. All I can do is be there for him. Even when he doesn't want me there. Our dad is deceased, and our mother and sisters moved 1700 miles away 3 years ago. I miss them and want to move to be closer but my brother refuses to go. So I stay here. To protect him from himself. He's a good man and an incredible father to his son and daughter. They don't know the sacrifices he's made for them. For all of us. He deserves better. Until he gets it, I am my brothers keeper.
Probably not appropriate to say but it’s a blessing you were disqualified, no point in fighting a man’s war where you mean absolutely nothing to him
My Lord, yes you are your brother's keeper, praises unto you my brother
♥️♥️ Godbless
Thank you both for your services to this ungrateful country. I am thankful. I love my people.
God Bless you and your Brother
Part of my family is from West Palm Beach, FL. I was told about the horrors of Pleasant City. I simply asked why all the streets had “happy sounding” names & this older man told me the story. I researched it & it was true. It’s horrible how our people have been treated in this country
I've been seeing a lot of programs on black history lots some I never knew, They should be shown on TV
The truth should be told about our history and hidden or changed or removed or burned. Like we didn't do anything good for this country. LET everyone know the truth and may God bless you all
In most countries. People can just be so evil& selfish. Unfortunately narcissism runs rampid
How can I search this up
What?! I will look into this. Thanks for the info!
These are my ancestors im from Fort Myers FL bro this the best day of my life this just popped up god brought me here the most high Israelites
I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and this was a knowledgeable video. God made us strong. Every school should know about black history. I made my son read Nile Valley Civilization. What a book of truth. We are the people!!
I grew up in Detroit. When I was about seven in the 50’s we went to visit family in Pensacola Florida. Some girls and I were walking down the street. A black man was walking toward us and he stepped off the street to get out of the way! I was surprised that happened because I never saw that in Detroit!
That was law. The world structure, to keep a race down... That's called institutionalize racism. He had to step off the side walk when whites were coming, it was the law because of the color of his skin. He was made to feel like less of a human being. All for power, control and greed ofcourse equals wickedness and all manner of evil existed in these beings.
I had much the same experience arriving in Tampa, FL from the Bay Area of CA...only this was during the late 70's!
My racial experiences in GA were even worse up to 2012. In once advised my father that just because I came to understand didn't mean for one minute that I agreed!!! I voiced more than once to white men friends, that being an independent single woman meant that I made my own choices about who I chose as friends. I made sure my child & hers would not be influenced by this ignorant mind set by returning to the west coast. I've raised my family to recognize that people of all color have the same needs & desires for themselves & those they love♡ It's my opinion that the deep south still has a long way to go in terms of racism & segregation...
I was told it had greatly improved from decades ago, but the situations witnessed by me were shocking & heart breaking! I choose my friends by character! In my opinion, racism us still a work in progress along with gender equality...
It's so crazy to me that I'm 44 years old and my daddy grew up in Rockdake, Texas. It was segregated until he was in college. I had no understanding for that when I was a child and learning about segregation and my daddy told me all about it first hand. They made it sound like it was so long ago but if my daddy lived if, then it was just yesterday.
9:00 made me tear up, this is what my grandma told me as a little girl, she was in her 80s.
My family the other kind they hide and dont tell us our history and just treat everyone like they retarded babies u ok u need some help?
My father hated Florida and we came from Mississippi, that says all you need to know about Florida.
Right on!!! I hated Florida too.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY SAY BLACK THEY CALL AFRICA.WHY NOT AFRICAN?
Sophie Pie Pie Other people here say they're not African Americans and Africans come from Africa. I'd rather call human beings African American than black because I know the term black was given after coloured to dehumanized people even more
Jacksonville ,FL. named after Andrew Jackson. See why they called it Jacksonville. Have relatives who live there to this day.

I remember growing up listening to my granny tell us how she went threw growing in that era . I appreciate everything she has told and taught us.
I am a European woman that understands what my people have done to "black people," who are the chosen people of Yahuah (God). You have been bewitched by my own people. Repent and turn back to the laws, statues & commandments, and take your rightful place as you are the apple of His eye.
I thank you for your honesty.
That's not the goal we need to get our own and to be seen and treated as human beings so that's going forward and will bring peace on earth. Europeans don't want that and we no long care
I appreciate your honesty even more.

We are the most forgiving people on the face of the planet. Forgiveness gives you strength to carry on throughout all injustices and hatred from anyone. It makes me wonder how much more forgiveness do we have and what can be done to end the hatred and evil that we have and will continue to endure until God returns.
I agree
What people don't understand is hate will never end because it is the work of the Devil.When God crack them clouds one day,that's when hate ends because judgement is at hand and every evil deed that man done under to others,he will give in account for it,so no one is getting away with anything,they just getting by,until judgement day.This world is not my home.I'M working on that 👑 that the word of God speaks of,and i know the only way i can get it .I have to live right.
I've always felt that too‼️
Black people are strong because they know what to do to survive. The Heritage of Black People are Prayer, Songs, and helping each other to survive. Blacks suffered and begged for nothing. Her forth parents were slaves, beaten and starved, however She held her head high. The black man knew God would someday save them from this horrible pain.🙏🏾
My family is from down south ❤️ appreciate this.
Iwannamary95 What u call down south? Where u from? This a Head Chief Cherokkee/Creek/Myama Native Man they labeled african american.. i ain’t nothing like them.. meaning my family members 😞 and they know who i am. but religion and usa brain washing got them against me. you wouldnt believe my testimony - im going thru too much for one man
J B i dont know nothing bout that. Ive been awaken, and walk in heavenly places alone. nobody wants what the creator divinely inspired and ordered for us where im from. Meaning, Man makes a woman a Wife and mother by giving her seed of light/love (star) child (without us what is she?) but look at our condition today...The spirit in the woman is close to untolerable. she her own god against me. im living amongst the dead. Where u from? And since i’m completely misunderstood by the majority maybe we can build through some good high vibrations communications so i could be like my ancestors. im walking in 🌍 as a 👨🏾 but im 💯 🌌 🌞 🌙 ⬆️
If you are ADOS all of your family is from down south. Most of us are only 1st or 2nd gen out from the south.

My ancestor was an escaped slave from Virginia (I'm sure she was Gullah). She married a Shawnee man "named" Kishpoko Rainbow. That wasn't his real name, but it is recorded as such. Kishpoko was his Division among the Shawnee (Warrior Division) and Rainbow was a Clan name-probably Sky or Water or something like that. My cousin, a professional genealogist, has records going back to the 1400's of our Indian ancestors. (One of our ancestors was the younger half sister of Pocahontas, so we have some Powhattan blood as well. She also married a Shawnee, and her mother was Shawnee.) My black ancestor's grandson, Thomas Caesar (Skiagunska) Greenwood went with a Cherokee delegation to England back in the 1700's to discuss land issues.
Anyway, none of my relatives, except my genealogist cousin and one or two others in Oklahoma, will even acknowledge that we are Indian (Shawnee/Cherokee, a little Powhattan), because being Indian back in my mother's day was the same in some parts of the country as being black. But my grandfather was a full-blood, although from two different Tribes.
I had a dream recently about my black ancestor. She was standing outside my living room window looking in at me, dressed in a deerskin dress, and looking sad. That's because, I think, I had not honored her as I did the Indian ancestors. I'm doing so now. I'm sure the Lord sent the dream, and I love my Grandma, although I don't know her name.
I liked when the woman said she has mixed feelings about desegregation, because she never knew low expectations. The best was always expected of her in her black academy. Love that so much because the way things are and always have been (yes we came a long way not saying we haven't) nothing is expected of black people, its always been that no one expects anything from us.
Why is stories like this not in the history books!
HEARING THESE STORIES, LITERALLY BREAKS MY HEART. I AM EXPERIENCING HEART PAPATAIONS. MY PARENTS GREW UP IN THE SOUTH..😞😞😞😞
Discrimination also effects the Latinos, as well as independent women of the south up to this day...
When she said she wasn't allowed to sit on Santa's lap is where I lost it. So sad and ignorant
Why so sad. The original Santa was really called Christopher Kringle who was poor himself but saved his money every year and bought toys and things for poor children. Christmas and Santa has to do with a pagan Catholic holiday.

I love our people God bless us all, we didn't ask to come to this country.....stolen
Oh my God Africa!!; I thought I lost you. I love Africa so so much. With everything that I have in my soul. It broke me to see you come be a slave, but I realized how much I love you and Africans should never ever be ashamed of anything in our culture,of our heritage. It's okay. I still love you and I always will. I even quit drugs.Just please don't forget who you are or where we are from. And even if you were living in a hut, I would never look down on you. So, don't ever be ashamed. Because I love you very. I love Africa with everything I have. I thought you were going to be a slave and I would lose you. I even quit drugs but I at first I wanted to die than watch your beautiful souls die. And a piece of me was dying. I don't know what y'all doing, but don't forget who we are or don't be ashamed. If Allah hadn't been with me, because it hurt so bad to lose you ., If I hadn't of quit because I knew something was going to bad was going to happen, I would have been doped up and died. But I pray. And now I'm happy because I realize how much I love you and need you and stuff. Heck, I will never be ashamed of you or me, our heritage culture roots of different music. And I cant wait to tell my kids how important keeping our history and not forgetting it is important. And, to dress and be African. We are African first and foremost. And we will always have a rich and beautiful culture. We Are Africans. And I will always love you.
Aren’t y’all the ones who sold African Americans into slavery? Your history is nothing to be proud of.

See you on the Boat Tom, love you Brother. 👍♥️🦊💯🤪🤪🤪♥️
My 10 yr old said it so well while discussing the subject of racism, each a different gender & race...
She addressed him by name saying, listen to me...I didn't ask to be white anymore than you asked to be black, but it shouldn't keep us from being friends anymore than you being a boy & me a girl!!! When she told me they were past their sqabble now, I hugged her saying that I couldn't be more proud of her than I was at that moment🙈🙉🙊😘
Life is difficult...we need more kindness/acceptance as the world becomes more complicated🤔
Oh how I love this. Seven Blacks was a part of building that area. I wished they knew their names. But, the mere fact of knowing that is fantastic. Their history is rich considering the evils that was so near. I’m grateful you shared this video.💕🙏🏽✌️
What about the black Seminoles and gullah people.
revolutionary vs the world Gullah SC African they have their own land
850 here I'm waiting on that too
No Agenda XXX Wrong. Do more reaserch.
They won’t talk about that part of history.
John Horse fled from Florida to Mexico with thousands after the U.S. broke it's treaty...be careful who you trust...freedoms not free...even voting rights are being fought in this day
We are the indians..the aboriginal people of America
Yep, you lose a 2 hundreds year war of 1400's your women get raped given diseases and the children taken away enslaved...winners of war write his-story...UK /France took north America, Spain's conquistadors like Cortez slaughtered and took South America and all 3 dividing the Caribbeans, in Canada and Louisiana some still speak French, Tejas belong to Spain until being pushed south...technology wins wars, Black Wall Street, Tulsa Oklahoma didn't know they needed tanks,fighter jets and private security to be safe in a country but now everyone knows, freedom always face resistance and must be ready for war, especially the silent war going on now, in the media, social media chat rooms pushing racists narratives.
Yes we are indians the aboriginals.
@Karin Alexander who wrote the bible?
FACTS
@@Odemwigie. okurrrrr
Our ppl are still “SLAVES” just presented in a different way today-majority of us have to work for low wages but have to pay high in rent in order to live ,we still have follow their rules etc. we don’t own anything not even our own land we have to continue go to them for everything including a loan ! We’re still slaves
I need prayer. We, all black people need prayer. I’m so mad I could spit and don’t even know how. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. Dang!
I’m not a native born American yet still a Blackman and my only regret even to this day is that our people never UNITE no matter where or how it’s best for all and BUILD one nation of ONENESS LOVE UNITY
Please Brothers and Sisters, let's open dialogue on the subject and be on one accord. Visit us: The Yehudah Project! The ROYAL House resides in America!
"ENSLAVES"
@@ThePoeticSam where are you from?
Great video! Thanks!
I hope she got the chance to realize they were the Israelites
Right on that was all I was going to say that is why the Indian people embraced them they were all Israelites
@@belindacarter1285 Indians aren't Israelites hell they didn't even know what Israelites we're until the Europeans came
Excellent documentary. Thank you for creating this gem and sharing it!!
My birth mother was there. My one sister and 4 of my brothers were born there in the late 1950's and 1960's. This is my family history.
Our ancestors have been through so much pain
THIS should be taught in school. Me, as a 50 year old White man who has lived in Birmingham Alabama all of my life was never taught about this horrible cruelty. Oh yes, I knew about Slavery and Jim Crowe but never any details and how real people were affected. The story about Santa Clause just broke my heart.
Thank you for this historical truth!
I love being black God make us all.from the dust of the earth iam happy to be black
We come from the cosmos
I also love my peoples. Let’s stay prayerful and watchful for the signs of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST return. STAY FOCUS !!!
Amen
I love the spirit of our.people. To bad the white man's religion was introduced to our people and intertwined with our spirituality. Creator and ancestors help lead us(black people) into freedom.
The white man religion was taught to you to make the Blackman docile, after all there white made up savyor said honor your Master with fear and trembling, and a whold bunch of shit about slavery that don't seem right in what suppose to be a book about morality. And if you don't believe me try reading the kjv of the Bible, one of the best ways to become an atheist
That would be nice!!
@@wendellbrownbrown5968 Then try reading the Tyndale Bible taken from the Hebrew and Greek Bible and translated by William Tyndale into English so that everyone could read the Bible. William Tyndale was on the run and lived in hiding to finish writing the English translation when the Roman Catholic Church found him and tied him to a stake and strangled him with a rope and then burned his body. He became known as a martyr and the Tyndale Bible is still available today in spite of the Roman Catholics attempts to stop the English translation of the Bible from reaching all the English speaking people. And of course the Roman Catholic Church wants to be the only church worldwide and is about power corruption false beliefs money and greed. There are numerous books about the Catholics and the history of the Catholic church but you just have to find the books that are correct information.
Thank you kindly for presenting these stories. Times were hard with segregation and limited opportunity, still, an indomitable spirit prevailed.
It is time for the world to truly understand that ; There are no two men neither two women. We are simply ONE children of God.
My great grandmother told my grandmother about slaves in the Caribbean. Which my grandmother is black Puerto Rican born in Puerto Rico.
Thank you for sharing that with us
Beautiful. Thanks for posting this...grew up in Central Florida, so I know a lot of what is being said here.
These are the true indigenous Americans
We more american than americans!!!!! We got native blood in us also
it's called jealousy. not many of them will admit it but it's true. they know who we are in CHRIST and that really gets to some of them. not ALL. let me hurry up and say that. but the majority of white people DO NOT like us at all and they are perfectly fine with us, in their minds anyway, less than. if we really are "less than", what's the problem? what u mad @?
Yes, black Americans are the indigenous people of America. Black indians .
No.
Damn right
Many of my daughters daddy's family that were in Bahamas moved to Florida. They were amazing hard working loving people
Beautiful documentary I did cry a little bit
My great grandfather Nathaniel Williams was born in Florida in the year of 1900 and he came up to philly before the 1930s and never told anyone of us his reasons or story of why he came up here and watching this Documentary I understand why proud man clean well dressed and he didn’t want no other season on his food but Accent salt. When he became old my grandma his daughter knew to season his food with that salt He was a professional pianist played in the church and his name was on the Hall of fame for his talent he died in 1984 he was 84 years old.
I really enjoy this, thank you.

Native Americans all day long don’t believe the bs that were stolen from Africans. I have Indians on both sides of my family. If my Great grandma is a native Americans then my Grandmother is Native American and so my mother is native Americans and I am are native American and my children are native Americans.

Yes Big Ferg that makes you an Indian
my heart hurt for my people....we are the chosen ones and they know it. we were here in the country before they came here..And with our blood sweat and tears, we built this country.. what hurts the most we do not care for each other as we should...and until then it will remain the same...
Very informative. Thank you!
We are not African Americans. We were already here . We are the real Indians
Exactly 💯 We have start calling Ourselves African Americans We are Brown Coopered Aborgines indigenous of this land All Praises
Big facts 💯
Very informative I love this! Soul food just beautiful.❤🙏
I'm black beautiful and proud
Thank you for sharing.
I think about the pioneers of these times what they had to endure so that we would be here... I think of how we take all those sacrifices for granted. Black people were were damaged long beyond the physical bondage of slavery, the mental toll of generational oppression has done damage that may never be repaired.
