I’m 61. My father (born 1920) grew up on a farm in Georgia. Every year when I was a kid, my mom and I went with him during the summer to visit his family back in Georgia. One day, my father and I went for a long walk in a kind of forest just outside his hometown. As I was walking my foot went completely down into a hole. My father ran over to me to help me out of the hole. He told me that we were walking through an old burial ground where slaves were buried. There was no real indication that this was a place of burial except for a few old weathered pieces of wood stuck in the ground as markers. Many enslaved people were just put into the ground without even a coffin. Weeds had grown up all around. Now I understand. These people were not even given the dignity of being able to assemble and bury their dead properly. Thank you for this video.
Whatever that is happening to Causcians now, they deserve it. RIP my ancestors it is because of your suffering and pain why I'm here today, I honour you, I respect you.
That is so haunting...I offer my sincere apologies, and respect for your pain. It brings to mind the Indigenous children's graves being found up here in Canada near the residential schools, and it hurts my heart to think of what agony my forebearers wrought.
As a child, I would often play around the trees behind my grandma's house in Faranah (Guinea, West Africa). Each tree represented an ancestor buried there decades or centuries ago. I ate the fruits (guava, avocado, mango...) and was grateful to know that my ancestors were with me by my mere existence and through the vegetation growing around us. To learn that the ancestors that were forced to cross over did the same there brings up different feelings : joy, belonging, pain, gratitude, pride and so much more! These verses of a David Diop poem come to mind : Ils sont dans les Herbes qui pleurent, Ils sont dans le Rocher qui geint, Ils sont dans la Forêt, ils sont dans la Demeure, Les Morts ne sont pas morts.
I always tell my family to bury me withtout a casket and plant palm trees over me, the trees use us a fertilizer and will be here for 100s of years later
Oh my! This strikes a cord with me. I was visiting with my great aunt in Oklahoma. She lived in her house until she was 100 and passed at 103. Anyway, when I got to her house, she was in the backyard standing in the middle of a circle of plants. She told me that she put a plant in the ground there for everyone who died. She pointed out a few, and named who the plant was for. And that is where she went to talk to our people who crossed over.
I do hope Tank becomes the host for this series and it goes on for seasons! This was a beautiful, educational history of Black Southern tradition! Done with such care and love.
I feel blessed to have listened to such an incredible story of love and dignity as told by an amazing artist. Thank you PBS for introducing me to the wonder that is Tarriona Ball.
This is beautiful. My 3x great grandfather was the only embalmer and mortician in our small town of Natchitoches. To this day, a house that was used as a funeral Home is still in our family. I honor his memory and service. Ibayé Ephram Pelham
Truly beautiful! I love our culture and traditions. When Harriet Tubman died a tree was planted by her grave and it's still there, very big tree. As a people we need to take care of our burial sites more and keep up the tradition so we never forget our roots.
Born and raised in Louisiana. I know all of my family history dating back to slavery. As a child I grew up cleaning the family grave yard. I use to be scared at night afterwards.
@@monta247 Our family's history is also on "paper". You just have to know where to look and how to research. Technology is making it much more possible.
The young lady conducting this is so warm so beautiful her spirit is amazing i noticed how the gentleman held her hand when they walked off her spirit would of made me feel that comfortable as well in all respect. May she continue to flourish. Good Job PBS.
This video was a bitter , sweet thing to watch . The cruelty that black slaves experienced , their right to a dignified funeral and traditions banned was hurtful to watch . But they were able to rise and through a community spirit and the church they had worth in death . The cemetary is so well looked after and I hope that future generations continue to care for their dead with Pride and tradition . Ms. Ball did an excellent job of educating anyone watching her video of the struggles and victories people of colour have had in the South .
This is beautifully produced, written, filmed, and edited. Love to see the light shine on these stories and the ancestors. SO excited to see more from Ritual!
Mourning customs and burial rites of different cultures and peoples have always captivated me. You can learn a lot about a group of people by the way that they care for their dead. Honoring your ancestors is one of the most beautiful and sacred aspects of human history. Such a beautifully, diverse and vibrant time we live in. Thank you for this fascinating video.
This was everything. You took me to the burial grounds to visit the ancestors, gave me a nice history lesson, and you took me to church!!! Not to mention the fabulous hairstyle. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
Magnificent, absolutely marvelous 🙏🏽 I'm from New Orleans, and I've tried to research my own family history. I do know that my paternal grandmother's family is from Vacherie, La. But I only know my grandfather's name ( LeBant) sir name. What you are doing is phenomenal ✨️ giving the knowledge of our ancestors is so powerful. Thank you Queen
This was sooo good! Please continue. When the pastor sung, "I am on the battlefield for my Lord " that is a staple in black churches ....that brought chills over my body and tears to my eyes because we used to sing that song as well and understanding is everything! This is also relevant to the times we are currently in....
So I was completely unaware of the tradition of planting a tree, but my burial plans are always been to be taken to New Orleans and be buried under ginkgo biloba tree, and I think that my ancestors have placed that want on my soul.
Southern black folk and funerals is an event. My family is from Louisiana so our funerals are like a party. A true homecoming. The benevolence committee in my youth was serious. Now no so much with all these young folk passing. When anyone over 60 passes it’s something.
Growing up, my grandmother was the Head of Benevolence and when some one died, my grandmother gave me and my cousins the notebook and the bag (it was a Northwestern Bank Bag🤔🤔👀), and we went door to door in our neighborhood taking up money for flowers for the funeral and if we collected a lot of money, say $40.00 (which was a lot back then), the remaining money after flowers were paid for, was given to the head of the deceased's family. On top of that, my grandmother called certain people to tell them how much of a certain dish to cook for the repast. (Only 4/5 people cooked all that food and she was one of them!!.... that's where
Thank you for this delightful story. Members of the diaspora must control our own narratives. Tank, well done! As an aside, I no longer refer to the places where my ancestors were held as plantations. They were forced labor camps. The fact that some are being used to hold parties and weddings is a disgrace.
Thank you thank you thank you for this. I think it is important and revolutionary concept to this day, to remind ourselves as worthy/valuable outside our labor
I found this video with perfect timing- a history that I have been actively researching in my studies, told by an artist that I truly respect. Great story- looking forward to more from this series
This is so beautiful. I grew up down the street from the Black cemetery in Westlake Louisiana. This show just hits so different to me. Especially the planting the tree for the marker. It just brings tears to my eyes.
Beautifully represented lesson about the dignity we maintained as a People, during the harshest of times in our country, in my home-state of Louisiana ❤️⚜️😊 Great vid! Thank you💯
This is beautiful, and I cannot think of a better person to narrate than Ms Tank. She is gorgeous and has an amazing singing and speaking voice. Powerful!
Love this! You are a natural Tank! Been following you since the Tiny Desk. Great to see your other work! I’ve always been fascinated with cemeteries. There is so much history there. The cemeteries here in DC are definitely no exception, especially for our folks.
A very wonderful human named Hollise Murphy passed not long ago and he was given a amazing send off in his hometown of NOLA. The crowd was huge and full of music. I know he was right there in appreciation in everyone celebrating his life. I know he's with the jazz greats in the afterlife making amazing music. Much🖤from tx🤘🏻🤘🏾🤘🏼🤘🏿.
OMG I loved this! I recognized almost each spot you went to. I'm surprised Pastor Davis didn't sing, I come from a po' family. Didn't have much, but the Lod's been good to me!! I am now a subscriber!! Love, love, love it!!
Okay, PBS Voices, I see you! ❤😊 I love the philosophy of the Benevolent Society and wish this ideology could be revived and spread in today’s climate. As a people, we accomplish such wonders when we do it together.✊🏾
I clicked to sprear appreciation for her beautiful hairstyles! But this documentary is also exemplary of quality storytelling and history preservation.
Wait til eyes are opened to the realization of who is the apple of The Most High's eyes. This is why He said vengeance belongs to Him because there will be a lot to answer for.
yall bet not neva end this show. i want endless spinoffs with this same host. we want to see her into old age blossoming and spreading more KNOWLEDGE on our history period!!!
I'm just here to say Miss Tank is absolutely adorable with a beautiful presence, penetrating questions, and thoughtful responses, and I'd love to see more of her. Also that hair...... MAGNIFICENT!
this was a very interesting and inspiring video. tank is such a warm& lovely local treasure♡ thank you for making a point to teach about the culture that has been hidden from me and mine. i appreciate these lessons especially at a time when so many are trying to rewrite history. its good to have someone keeping it real for us. much love; )
This is Absolutely needed! Like when he said we care for the sick and bury the dead and celebrate. Let's uplift that more. Not, killing the living and their sorrowed families have to bury them.
This was lovely, and heartbreaking to watch. I hope many more people watch this to open their eyes, minds, and hearts to the black community. Your culture flourished and remained beautiful in spite of the trials and tribulations your people suffered, and I feel honoured to see a small slice of that through this video.
As the mother of a child who on her fathers side has slave decendants as ancestors. I shall be showing her this series. It's wonderful to see this story. It broke my heart to see the disrespect shown to the slaves who died. This is educating me on the horrors of the past and the beauty people can create from it. ❤ England UK

“They are in awe” black delusion is alive and well. See: we wuz kaaaangz!!!

This is truly beautiful. The traditions continued from Africa to America.

Assuming you've seen her on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert Series.
You're welcome. 😁
Check out her music as well. You will not be disappointed.

This first episode is already so awesome, can't wait for more Ritual. Also Tank is the coolest
Came from Soundfield's Community post! Thank you for informing me of this interesting new series. And Tank is the host!?

@@rheeryder2524what’s funny
Many don't know .that we know our lineage our history it is written in minds and soul of the very select
If anything you were probably the safest one in the house lmao, you were honoring your ancestors by taking care of their resting place
@@monta247 Our family's history is also on "paper". You just have to know where to look and how to research. Technology is making it much more possible.
When I attended my father-in-law’s funeral in Nigeria, I immediately knew where some of Louisiana’s funeral celebrations originated from.
African funerals are a celebration of life
Thank you for great history of Louisiana. The African-American strength is always been needed, never should have been exploited.
The fact that this only has 16 likes is crazy
