Their son Mike Africa Jr. just came and spoke at my school (NC State) and I would’ve never known about them and their love without attending his talk!!! I literally screamed when I saw this pop up on my recommended and they’re truly an inspiration to everyone and so is their son!
Exactly they tried to and look there still together stronger then they’ve ever been . One day this country will understand that blank people are conditioned to be resilient, it’s our blood it’s in our DNA. That will never change...
Beautiful isn’t it just ! My parents are celebrating their 51 years of marriage in June. They are gentle and love and respect each other like this adorable couple. I love the way they speak tenderly to each other ❤️❤️❤️✊🏾✊🏾
We must not forget that our government dropped bombs on the MOVE headquarters/home in Philadelphia and children and adults were in there. For those who are not aware please look it up. They have docs on it on UA-cam regarding it. Some of the MOVE members are still in prison. With regards to this love story...i love this...beautiful. Stay blessed 💕
I'm so overwhelmed with emotion I can't even put a logical sentence together. This interview evokes so much....Love.... Anger....hate....envy.....pride...spirituality.... I'm so proud of them. 😭
As a Philadelphia native, the MOVE organization played a pivotal part in forming my ideas of the world and society as a whole. Though I don't know them personally, I love this couple. I love the fact that their genuine love and spiritual connection was able to withstand unbelievable pain and devastation. Your light and love shines from within. May you, your children and the entire "Move"ment have continued peace and blessings. May God watch over those still unjustly imprisoned.✊❤
I pray they live to be 103 yrs old, strong, healthy, and able to be on every platform they were meant to be on! May their race continue 💪🏾Blessings and finances too. “Because your love was so strong for me that’s what made me love you the way I do.” My Lord 😭
They deserve the world and they’ll never get true justice for the false sentence of forty years spent behind bars. Makes me so angry. On the other hand, I’m so inspired by their liberation and their actions and their love. All power to the people and all my love to you two.
God is not mocked he remembers the wickedness of Edom and will revenge by the hand of Israel his servant. Salvation is only for Israel. Serve 40 years in this life and have slaves of the other nations in the next as well as eternal rest and pleasure. We just got Stockholm syndrome and are loving oppression that we can't see our own slavery us being in hell while the other nations are living in their heaven now...wait till that all reverses when the Black God of Israel steps forward and nukes all these heathen beast of the field.
This is so sincere. Life is complex but there is so much beauty in their story.I'm a few minutes in and I want a movie. Ava, Shondra, Will Packer, Lee Daniels, lady that directed Love & Basketball...somebody please see them and put this on the big screen?!!
Wowowowow... For couple to go through this and still love each other and come out still love each... That tells us love can be sustained if you consciously decide to work on it. Love it is a decision
The “why” doesn’t matter.... all that matters is you two were able to hold on to the love you two shared. Happily ever afters to exist! Beautiful example of love carrying you thru. #BlackLove striving for #BlackExcellence
When both of them describe what it is to loyalty and love behind bars....It got deep. If you have true love for that person why would you ever leave them.
This is absolutely fascinating. 40 years??!! Seriously, that's crazy. They look so young and I feel that their love for each other, helped them through those many decades; they had something to look forward too ...... family & each other. All the best to each other, Peace, Love & Blessings abound. My prayer is that you both will have many more decades together. I too would love to see their story played out on the big screen. #BlackLove for real.
40 years!!! How could another human be so evil and destroy others lives like they tried to do this beautiful couple. This was heartfelt and heartbreaking to watch.
Watching this Strong Couple is amazing !! They were in prison for all those years, and still look wonderful & beautiful. I sincerely hope & pray they will have a wonderful life together now !! This is most inspirational, and is a true fact that true LOVE will stand the tests of time !!! BLESSINGS TO THIS ENTIRE FAMILY !!!
This Love has been in a time capsule. They both look very handsome and healthy. Mist if their youth in jail, there like picking up where they left off.
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing this with us. Michael is so handsome and gentle and Debbie exudes this powerful aura. There were/are both so courageous. The system has always been unjust. I cant imagine doing 40 years but im so glad that they didn’t let it break them or their relationship. ❤️❤️❤️
I remember when this occurred...I was living in North Philly, but worked in West Philadelphia. The pain my heart felt to see the bomb dropped and the fire which killed people and destroyed over 60 homes off Osage Ave. Definitely a American Tragedy ...RIP MOVE Members Loss. Shame on the City of Philadelphia and Wilson Goode.
Their story is endearing, and touches the Soul. We are viewing authenticity in love, respect, and commitment for life! God restore them beyond their dreams!!!!! Much love~
Such a sad yet beautiful story..I would love to know the whole story of why they went thru all they did.. may god continue to strengthen them and thier love.
People look at the Now. I like to, look into the past. I love the fact that he's sharing some things that, she didn't know that he was paying attention to. I'm happy he was man enough to give her that. ♥️ We all have individual and collective story's about us.
Not sure how Skin deep selects people. You made a great choice! I hope someone is watching that could share this so we can get a Notebook 2.0. Cant wait to do this game with Babe to connect even deeper with him. Love the videos and the game concept. #skindeep #AvaDuvernay #ShondaRimes #OWN #blacklove #WillPacker
Oho I saw them on Worn Stories (on Netflix) a few hours ago, loved their love story but my heart also ached for them and their family. Was surprised to see them on the recommended as I was watching another Skin Deep video, I’m glad they’ve been able to spread their story on various platforms.
God bless them both. I hope the can Live in the now and enjoy the time they have now because none of us can go back to the past, we cannot see the future we only have now. Enjoy your precious time together. God Love bless and Protect them and their family. ❤️ from Ireland 🍀
I want my partner to look at me like that. Some much love n care in his eyes!
👋
Agreed.....The Love❤️and Admiration, Beautiful
And don't settle until you get it. That person is out there!
I would love to read a book about their lives and their love story. They seem so interesting. I enjoyed them.
I agree
They should write a book about. ...their love and life together...it would be wonderful. ...

Does the "wolf" sign with my hand
NC State class of '01
Gosh, they're both so good-looking, charming and attractive.
Proper diet, thoughts and lifestyle. Even theirs was interrupted; they were able to hold up very well through the trauma.
America the beautiful. You couldn’t break up this black family and unit even with 40 years of prison.
40 years they broke them selves
Exactly they tried to and look there still together stronger then they’ve ever been . One day this country will understand that blank people are conditioned to be resilient, it’s our blood it’s in our DNA. That will never change...
@@janet.oboutte1349 You are so edgy
This woman exudes strength.
You Are Magic she does for sure
He exudes strength too. Two strong people!
I need more .. Miss Duvernay we need you to tell another beautiful story again 😩❤️🙏🏾
Great idea! Get issa on here too! She could 'photograph' this movie!
There’s already a documentary about it
Britaney Yates What is it called?
@@yusraosman6088 it’s called 40 Years a Prisoner on HBO
Their story must become a movie. #BeautifulBlackLove
It is. 40 years a prisoner on hbo
Hopefully not by Hollywood or anyone from or connected to the dominant society.
Married 49 years? Dear God love like this exist? This is a film. They are beautiful.
My parents have been married for 49 yrs❤🤗🙌🏿🙏🏿
Flex-N- Fly yes it exists in their generation. My parents been married 48, grandparents 63 until my grandma died
My Parents are still alive and well. They have been married over 40 years. There are lots of love stories here.
It does 🙄 my parents have been married for 43 years this July. They're in their 60s 😊
Beautiful isn’t it just ! My parents are celebrating their 51 years of marriage in June. They are gentle and love and respect each other like this adorable couple. I love the way they speak tenderly to each other ❤️❤️❤️✊🏾✊🏾
The pain, love & loyalty in their eyes is so thick!! Wow...
A lot of loving relationships start off with the woman saying " I couldn't stand him."
lol somewhat so true
Not true
Mine did and we also played together as kids
Yup my parents 😂
😂
We must not forget that our government dropped bombs on the MOVE headquarters/home in Philadelphia and children and adults were in there. For those who are not aware please look it up. They have docs on it on UA-cam regarding it. Some of the MOVE members are still in prison.
With regards to this love story...i love this...beautiful. Stay blessed 💕
His voice is so soothing
Ashley Nguyen there’s so much trauma behind it.
He has a 25 years old handsome gentlemans voice too
It really is I was thinking the same thing
I'm so overwhelmed with emotion I can't even put a logical sentence together. This interview evokes so much....Love.... Anger....hate....envy.....pride...spirituality.... I'm so proud of them. 😭
zanaquilo Gonzalez same!
Their energy is so peaceful together. And the way he looks at her...wow.
40 years for being in a black rights movement, that's madness. So glad I don't live in USA.
I don't like the US lol
The USA is a decent place but it does have its flaws. I personally havent lived anywhere else so its all ive known but I think its nice
Voopi Doopi Poor you. I love my country 🇺🇸

This is an example of a real man. What an amazing story of real love and loyalty. Most High bless you both always!

We need a movie. They make me want to Do Better and Be Better

well said. beautiful
They deserve what they got 40years They had to pay. Good for them
Janet. o Boutte forty years for nine people when no one could be proven to have fired the weapon? You have a warped sense of justice.
It was also proven that the cop was shot by FRIENDLY fire. Soooooooooo.
Beautiful story to end Black History month with. God bless them and their family.
His eyes speak pure love. The look he has is so rare.
they are still so beautiful and strong after everything they have been through. dope black love.
Afrikan Latina yess!!!✊🏽
the way they look at each other makes me just cry.. thats so beautiful
I like how they feel settled in. It's comfortable. I like that. 💜

I would love to hear their full story. Beautiful soulful people have stories that grip you
When both of them describe what it is to loyalty and love behind bars....It got deep. If you have true love for that person why would you ever leave them.
This is an amazing thing to witness. Much love and respect to these two heroes that sacrificed everything for the struggle! Absolutely amazing!
My God. How many people have been broken due to unjust imprisonment..?
I know there are more Black Rights leaders locked away.
Beautiful..I'm crying for the years they lost and crying while looking at how strong their love us!!

So much deeper than we can imagine here...i’m enamored with this story that lends to be so much richer than can perhaps be allowed.
This is pleasant surprise for me to listen to such maturity. Amen

In response to what Ma Debbie sees for them in the next 5 years, I absolutely love her definition of SUCCESS. Such beautiful souls!
Mike and Debbie Africa went through hell and high water. May peace be on to you both 🙏🏽
Wow 40 years and the unity they have is beautiful. Wish them all the best in life

This should be viral.
They were members of MOVE? That’s so cool, I heard about that group

I want to know everything about this story. Amazing .
Yes me too! I really hope there is a documentary or will be a documentary on this! Such a heartbreaking story, yet very important story to be told.
@@becauseofkarma2913 Their story is about the MOVE bombings in Philadelphia. There are several documentaries and short films on it.

Me too

Aww Mike cut his locs. They both look wonderful. I'm glad they were able reunite after so long ... they have one helluva story to tell. 🖤
In the description you say "reunited in almost half a decade"
I believe you mean to say "half a century"
Great catch- Thanks for having our back! 😅

Travesty that these two beautiful people were imprisoned. Makes me sad and angry. I’m glad they’re back together
His eyes are so sweet...I would never imagine he (nor she) was ever in prison.
Unjustly, their story is so heartbreaking, it's so wrong.
Their bodies were imprisoned but their minds were not imprisoned!
This was so beautiful and a much needed love story to be shared !
Their lips told us one story while their eyes spoke another. Maybe one day we’ll be privileged enough to hear the other. Thank you for sharing.
Tried and Tested championships, I loved that statement
Wow. Is all I can say. There is something so sincere between these two. Something so real. May God bless them both! #BlackLove
Before I even listen to them, I saw the love in their eyes! 😍
This LOVE IS REAL! They both look so young and beautiful to gone through all the things have been through! 🙏🏽✌🏽❤
I'm so blessed to have met and got to know you Debbie and it fills my heart to see the both of you safe and at home
I'm in tears! Just It!
I really love this couple. 40 years apart??? how sad. True love will stand a test of time. May God bless you bother with a long life together.
When two souls are meant for each other......🥰 gosh they even look alike. I'm sorry for the pain you've both went through 🥺.
There is such a tenderness about them. I could listen to them all day.
