All God's Children (1980) | Ruby Dee Ossie Davis Richard Widmark 

Salute to The Forever ♾ Beautiful Late Great Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis. The Epitome of True Black Love ❤️

Ah, the good old days when black women on screen were classy and elegant, but also had depth and personality. Ruby Dee, Felicia Rashad, Leslie Uggams, Marla Gibbs, Pam Grier, Vonetta McGee all legends and sweet hearts😍😍😍

There's something about having both parents in the home who take on their full parental responsibilities

What a horrible ending!! We were left hanging. 😢

Ah, the days when you had to take the phone off the hook to ignore calls or stay off the phone as not to “ tie it up” when you were expecting a call. Pre call waiting days.🤣

Thank You SO MUCH for this! I saw this on CBS 40 years ago and never forgot it! Back in those days, a movie of the week or a special only aired once and that was it. Thank you for resurrecting this!

Ruby Dee-Davis and Ossie Davis were both a beautiful couple and actors together and apart I love the way they acted as husband a wife on screen beautiful!!!!💖💖💖💖💖

Reelblack is the new BET!

Omg I saw this movie when I was a teenager with my parents and always as an adult wanted to see it again! Thank you so much for uploading this❤

"I'm not raising my son to be your son's wide receiver" best damn line of the movie. They need us way more than we need them otherwise who will make them shine? So glad we were taught if u have a natural God given talent use it to get what u need n save your family's money for something else. Get the education free if you can but all of us don't have to go to school on athletic scholarships, we can go on academics as well.......Shannon b.

A very good movie - script was brilliant and so relevant. Actors were all very natural - guess it was well directed. Thanks for uploading.

CLASSIC..THE BEST CHANNEL ON RU-vid OF THE MANY

Jacob and Esau at it's finest ! Esau being delusional and blaming everything on Jake per usual 😂

I remember this movie and the whole bussing issue. Where I was teaching, a one room country school in KY, it was sort of irrelevant. The issue was closing the schoolhouse. A lot of the parents were opposed, didn’t want their kids riding a bus in bad weather long distances to a “city” school, called “integrated” because there were five black kids a few mixed race out of like 250 students. The bigger furor was when I was hired to keep the country school open! It really took a while. I had to prove myself, not so much a racist, as the school was all white, and so am I, but the fact I was from New York was suspect to just about everyone.

Appreciate you guys putting these out for folks to view. #OssieandRubyDeeForever

Can't wait to watch this again! Haven't seen it again in over 30 years Thanks RB!!!

I 💞💞💞 YOU. When I'm disgusted with TV and the narratives put out of OUR PEOPLE by the WS ran government I come here and for a while I'm at peace.

Prejudice still exist this day and age its never gonna change just the way it is we have to be fair to one another no matter what race freedom is a must

Narrow... vs. ... open, minded thinking..... cuhz we don’t make movies like this anymore 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 thank you Mr. & Mrs. Davis for the work you laid out for us, we hear you 🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽

Even in a movie with a powerful lesson... 😢 we still lose.. I know Ruby Dee’s cry from anywhere

One of the best scripts and acting!! Thank you.

That's sweet that he still tucks his sun in and he comes in to kiss his little boy.❤😘

Enjoyed seeing this again. Thank you.

This movie has lots of amazing qualities. It's hard to to imagine it is a 1980 film

HELL of a cast.

Not disadvantaged financially, disadvantaged mentally, spiritually, humanity see it daily , stand up Team nette🌼

Loved this movie so relevant to our Now! Thank you

Thank you for uploading these! I hope you can get a hold of fat Albert and the Raisins

All Gods Children 🥰❤👏🏽🙏🏽

This story's backstory about busing is true, but it didn't workout! The kids were too far from home in case something happened the kids parents had to travel out of their way to pick the child up or take the bus to God knows where to get them! Also they stopped taking care of the so called better schools, with books and such along with maintenance to the building, so in turn they ended up with what they already had. Now all of the schools are crappy, and the kids are stupid! All they had to do was give the kids in the city, regardless of race, better and up to date books, and maintain the buildings better! We all pay taxes and they are supposed to go to schools, and such! Yea, suppose to! Parents should be in charge of where their kids go to school, NOT THE GOVERNMENT!!!!

I think this movie had a very stupid ending. The viewer watch the whole movie just to end up still not knowing which boy died in which boy lived. So the view is worth supposed to distinguish which woman was crying. People do not cry in racial distinctions. If you hear a baby cry, what is the baby black or white

I think I'm with Mr. Neponic,he's a good parent. I think the educational system should allow for campus rotations so that all students can have a well rounded experience?. I would be a good thing having our young adults responsible dependable reliable under the guidance of parental authority.

schools are still indirectly segregated. suburban America reflects that.

Bravo! What an amazing movie and well portrayed by all the actors. This movie left us with a cliffhanger and, at the end, we still didn’t know which boy was killed or which one survived. However, it really doesn’t matter who survived because both families lost in the end. What a cruel joke this prank turned out to be! 👏

This movie is as revelavant today as it was then maybe more so today. We take 2 steps foward and 3 steps back. Sad😢😢

Thanks

Love the old movies this is better than BET

This is a GOOD movie.👍

Love these old movie with purpose.

I love and miss both of them

I second that motion salute!

I thought I had seen this movie before but I see I haven't. Some pretty good actors in this movie. Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.

Old telep homes had the same.ringtones

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="87">1:27</a>:00 - When watching this speech, just remember, this is the same man (Richard Widmark) whose movie debut was as one of the most vicious racists in movie history (No Way Out.) Talk about coming far, in terms of the range of roles.

Such an iconic couple tor REAL

All God’s CHILDREN Got Rhythm.

Excelent movie actors all on top form

Wonder what happened to young actor, George Spell (Reese)? This is the last movie I ever saw him in. He played a very young man in "Man And Boy", They Call Me Mr. Tibbs" and dozens of other films & TV roles.

The best ending to a movie ever.

so the black kids parents dumped their baggage onto their son when he was not having even similar experiences as they did. And so the narrative is passed along instead of buried in the ground where it belonged.

It was the black teen boy who passed away 😢😢😢 They were truly Friends 💙💙💙.

I have a lot to say regarding this film, But I think I will sit this one out. Great Movie .

THIS MOVIE TELLS THE TRUTH OF HOW SOOOME WHITES FEEL ABOUT PEOPLE OF COLOR. AND WE'RE IN 2020

“ We all god’s children not just Kirk Franklin .”

The Most High YAHUAH’S CHOSEN people are here to RULE, TEACH in righteousness and to be a light to the gentiles Sabbath Shalom

! Ps Peace + Love

I felt badly for my black friends that got hauled off to another neighborhoods schools. I did however make lasting friendships ♥️ Unfortunately, I feel that is too late.

I was two when this movie came out.

Good movie.

A touching story of class pertaining to color. Hate and racism is learned not born with... At the end of the day ... A loss of life caused by race effects us all...

🧐This is a cliffhanger, I think both teenagers passed away (1) passed away physically and the other (2) mentally

Oh Debbie please dont change the channel girl ❤because this will be a power house 🏡 movie 🎥🍿with two 🕝🥀🕝🥀very real black 🖤 people that grace the motion 🐦 picture industry for our people everywhere🌹and yes they did so much more🥀🥀you know if someone told me that they made a movie🎭and turned all of the proceeds over to our people I would believe it🍁because these were some very loving 💖🥀💖🥀💖 black 🖤 human beings that could have walked the face of our Earth 🌎 you children really don't know and that is why it's very important that you read your history ❤❤ 🥀🌹🐦

Some comment blamed the Judge ,But the Black family wanted their child to be bus to another School for the Art program. It was the White boy father that didn't want the bus to happen. Like Ozzie said I didn't raise my child to be your sons wide receiver.

In the past could have seen.wh at.happened ..to .public schools now

I Like THAT MOVIE

Good movie but so sad

Good movie!

But which son died. I know it doesn’t matter but I couldn’t tell which mother was crying... or was that the point?

Ned Beaty is such a numb nuts in this movie. I don't like the fact that we were left without a definite answer but just from the mother's wail, I'm guessing it was Reese.

I'm not impress with the recent killings of our fellow brethren because of the colour of their skin its not right justice need to be the restore equality is the best way to go a bout it we need to stop hating on one another we are one unity is strength

💥Greek tragedy

❤

Sorry for all the gobbledygook. I'm using the microphone on Google and I did not edit what I wrote but I hope you all get the gist

Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis made quite a few movies together. I wonder were they arried or romantically connected? They made such a nice couple.

Is it a real story?

Ok so what happened to the other boy? Didnt nobody get off the bus or did I miss something?

I couldn't tell which kid died. I want to say the black kid because I know Ruby Dee's voice from. her other movies. Still not sure. Good movie tho!

It seems that the color line will always be embedded in the American flag! This racial problem will still haunt black and white people living in America forever! Thus, time will tell it's out come!

Take the tax money and split it up between the schools... Yeah, damn the roads or the sewer system or the water system or the utility easement... Split it up between the schools... That one statement Doom this movie to B status

I remember seeing this when it aired; I want to say it was a Sunday night but I could be mistaken. The bus going over a cliff stands in my memory (although I thought it went from right to left). Now, 40 years later - I am watching this not as a kid - but as an actor myself. I will finish this post when it is over. So- I could have also sworn that the two mothers decided not to know. Got that wrong. I guess Howie had a good grip on the wheel, and Reese bounced around and got knocked out and then burned up. I hope that judge was proud of his work. There's a saying here in the South: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Everything was fine, until someone stuck their nose into someone else's business. I hope that judge was proud of his work. To this day, there is strife because certain people pick scabs and bleed old wounds, instead of letting things settle on their own (which they would). I hope that judge was proud of his work.

Jesus

Was this a true sory?

How you gonna ditch a big yellow cheese bus, smdh?

While I enjoyed this movie as entertainment, my critical eye says it's just the type of propaganda that led to American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) pretending that we're in a post-racial society. The whites were saying "things are fine. Everyone's happy"; or in today's vernacular, MAGA; Meanwhile, the blacks were pretending that things weren't so bad; and that some whites (like their son's racist parents) were ok. Sure, they say some deep thought every now and again, but basically, they were ok with being second class citizens. And we did raise a few raceless generations behind this type of media propaganda; and ADOS stopped being political; and now we're really at a critical point; and all because we allowed ourselves to believe that "some whites are ok" story. I'm sure some whites truly are ok; the problem is how do you define "ok". If it means they speak to you and your kids go to same school; but your community as a whole is wealthless and a societal contagion, then that's ok with some whites and blacks. While other whites are very honest and forthright with their ideas; and you may not like hearing it; but you know what you're up against. I hate systemic racism; and no matter how cordial or nice a white person is to me, we won't be friends unless he/she fully understands and admits systemic oppression and racism; and the need for reparations. This is the true test of interracial relationships; not working together or dating and marriage while avoiding the conversation.

Which kid died fromaccident itwentoff

So which one died?

Um when you were headed toward the guardrail, you should have steered left instead of throwing up your hands.

FEEWEEDOM

GEORGE SPELL GOOD ACTOR

Need help in finding the name of this old African American movie from back in the day about a woman with two daughters and she treated one daughter differently than the other...she was mean and didn’t like her other daughter and I think the daughter experienced heartache in her life compared to her favored sister....not sure if it was a tv play or movie but I need help in figuring the name of it. Like the mother showed favoritism between the two sisters ...it sort of resembles Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion storyline relationship of the mother and her two daughters in the film.

No progress since 1980. If anything, much worse.
