I really enjoyed this piece of history. I once lived in Mississippi it did not know that this existed. Thank you for all your work. May God continually bless you to keep going.
Thank you. This is a very respectful body of work. That challenges many long standing myths of the past. And does so with real data. A good model for others to follow.
Thank you for your work! My family is from Jonesville, LA 25 miles from Natchez. I have been trying to trace my family roots I am sure some of my people passed through the Fors of the Road. I will be back down there hopefully next summer to try to learn more about my people. Thank you again!
My ELDER My MOTHER is ESTHER YOUR cousin. That makes me YOUR Family also. She just found this documentary, an told me an I'm very Blessed to alive in 2022 through all the migrations. Still alive
Thank you for a great contribution of our true history,while it saddens my heart,it also shows our inborn spirit to not give up and our gifts to make another plan,think on our feet,and as we sleep. Our God is awesome.
OUR ANCESTORS WERE THE LOST TRIBES OF JUDAH. THEY WERE THE HEBREWS. CHECK OUT STEPHEN DARBY MINISTRY: WHO ARE WE? ALSO FROM BABYLON TO TIMBUKTU. YOU ARE ALREADY BLESSED.
My great grandma came from Natchez Ms , thought some years later she moved to New Orleans, la .I would love to visit someday.Her name was Mary Kate Buckner ( Williams) we called her gm Greenie .Some roots are in Jackson too . Her younger days said to sometimes carried a hatchet.
I just looked online to find information on the African and African American community of Osyka Mississippi and found nothing except there were plantations there. The history of the Jewish immigrants is well documented but there is zero on the Native American Choctaw and the African (enslaved then freed populations} African American populations. I remembered meeting Ser Seshsh Ab-Heter - C.M. Boxley at a National Park Service underground Railroad conference in the early 2000's. I had received several emails from him on the forks in the road projects throughout the years. I am so glad to find these videos. Document Document Document the exitance of your family please.

It is a wonderful thing you have done, researching and putting together this exhibit. I imagine the 'Gone with the wind' tourism promoters didn't offer any help or encouragement. I see there is a Franklin Street in Natchez is it named after the Franklin of Franklin and Armfield? Thanks again for the great service you have provided to your community and for sharing it with the world via RU-vid. Regards Graham from New Zealand

Thank you. 😩💔we as colored people went through a whole lot and still going through it now it's a different form and fashion thank you my brother this should be in every textbook our children will be lost without this knowledge💯💯💯
This looks like a very informative exhibit. You said it was a traveling exhibit. I hope to see it one day. Does it still exist somewhere? If so, where?
According to the 1850 census records ALL of the slave owners were black! However, the slaves all had homes and side businesses but thier main job was farming.
Natchez got its name from the indigenous people (my nation) that occupied the area. Natchez roughly translates to ‘fast warrior’ in the Natchez language.
