Y sobre todo *lealtad y respeto mutuo.* El Sr. Carr fue un hombre decente y raro para su época y entorno cultural. Él y su mujer se merecen una película.
I hope that Morgan Freeman went back and bought the land that Alfred and Ceele and their children were buried on. That's his family's story to pass on to new generations. My family has a little nothing cemetery in Alabama but it's still kept up.
At minimum, get with landowner currently to explain that is his relatives, and make a way for him to be the upkeep on the general area of rest, maybe updated head stones with dates/information, rectangle of stones around area with white rock covering marked area, flower holders, using the existing stones to be cleaned and restored and set back in next to new headstone.
My mind is blow by this. Imagine the strength, character and resilience for a couple to be together and raise children through slavery... I'm beyond humbled and astounded!
Same...I was born in the same Mississippi town Morgan was raised in. By the time he opened that book and saw the graves stones I was crying my eyes out in the Kroger parking lot and wiping my nose on my sleeve. I looked up and a whole family in a van was staring at me. LOL
Not only did she live with a white man he lived 30 plus years with a black woman and raised his children with her. That's called a family. This is my family's story in Alabama, except there is a marriage certificate of their union.
My family too. My great great grandfather even though white legally changed himself to black because a white man can't be married to a black woman in Texas during this time. They didn't know until they moved there...
The Peelers were large landowners in the Attala County area. I see their names on the deed to the Carrs. I sure hope that Mr. Freeman found the headstones, and maybe bought the land they are on.
2020, regarding all the historical programs I have seen this happens to be one of the best programs that I have watched. The host of this show he is excellent when it comes to representing people trace their ancestry DNA. Love It!!
Not necessarily. But their union is more complex than he thought. The human heart is mysterious and complex. You watch him ponder Carr buying land for his kids and the surprise of the head stone. He had to question his understanding of 2 people lives.
So many have a hard time admitting there was love between a slave and master-because they compare it to modern standards 🤣 there was no Uber, dating apps, or indoor plumbing. So when people had it good, they stayed around.
@@gregorde ah, I stand corrected. Even more evidence there was indeed love between an ex-slave and a friend of a ex-slave master - because the friend never owned her, she was his partner.
YOUR NOT THE VICTIMS. ALL OF THE PROPHETS AND JESUS CHRIST WERE THE VICTIMS OF YOUR BLACK TRIBE OF JUDAH ANCESTORS, WHICH IS WHY GOD CUT THEM OFF CURSED THEM AND SENT THEM INTO SLAVERY AS PUNISHMENT. READ 2 ESDRA 1.
@Gwyn S How did you find this out? I am just starting my research. Can you give me links or services or advice? I'm afraid I'll have to do everything online...
@Gwyn S Amazing! I've just started my research and I think I'll encounter a lot of problems because none of us are in North America and I guess that's where a lot of the information starts. But your explanation has inspired me to try - thank you!
Definitely not great .. maybe 4th or 5th or 6th great. And that not uncommon because the white men would use check as punishment to the females and sometimes it was romance...
MANY BLESSING TO ALL OF YOU/I'M MORE EXCITED THAN EVER I WAS ADOPTED AND NOW WAITING FOR MY DNA RESULTS/ THIS IS GOD'S MIRACLES/ THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING YOUR STORIES ♡♡
I am doing my Family tree. It is so exciting. I hope you find who you are looking for and are happy with your results. Don't judge them (her in particular) you Don't know what could have been in her heart or what she was enduring at the time ❣
The graves next to each other, surrounded by their kids, tells me that this couple truly loved each other. Even though they went through very hard times in a society where first mixed couples were forbidden and then looked down on, they still managed to stick together and have a family which they protected as well as they could and kept close to them. I sense a huge harmony, understanding and true love. Something Morgan Freeman can be truly proud of.
5 years after imagine that!! I never heard morgan voice so high!! Your ancestors action directly link to how you move and think! Wow I'm shocked my people went north......
Been searching out and finding graves of my ancestors lately. An incredibly moving and humbling experience. Highly recommended to all if you can get there, and do it sooner rather than later - as you see, not all will be around for that much longer.
Its not suprising really, that the great great grandmother and Grandfather of Morgan Freeman were absolute fucking G's who lived life how they wanted to.
Interestingly, Gates can't verbalize that Ms. Johnson and Mr. Carr likely loved one another. There is little other explanation, yet he seems to resist saying it. Shame on him.
Wow..I haven't seen this yet before until i was searching some video to have some idea for looking for my roots or my family history .I love it.I am one of the Avid Fans of her..
IT HAS BEEN 400 YRS. MY PEOPLE...TOO LONG..YOUR GENES WILL NOT ALL YOUR HEADS TO BOW FOREVER. THE LORD GOD WILL NOT DISCIPLINE US FOREVER ... YOU ARE STRONGER💪🏿 THEN ALL!!! I KNOW YOU FEEL IT TOO MY MOST ANCIENT PEOPLE 🤴🏿👸🏿.......TIME TO RISE AND SHINE ✊🏿✊🏾...🌅 YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL..👰🏿 I LOVE YOU MORE!!!!😍🥰
"they came out of slavery with definite ideas", this speaks volumes about their ambition; such a dark time but people are people in the end, the idea of colour is absurd.
Lou: Morgan, turn the paper... *turns paper* Lou: this is a picture of the throne of God. This is your origin and why they keep casting you to play God.... Morgan Freeman: Oh......wow. Now it's making sense why I was born an old man.🥴
Ceele didn't just live with a white man she lived with her partner she was with for 35 years. White people are people too, you know. His name was Alfred.
