Hattie's Lost Legacy.m4v 

Hattie's Oscar meant so much to her she would have never agreed to the 60's movement of destroying it. I pray to God it is found.

As a Mexican man i found my self watching this documentary and sensitive with a nought in my throat, we are all equal. God bless us all .

Hattie McDaniel played "Mammy" as a loving survivor, more conscious of decency and standards than any of the whites in "GWTW." It's a performance that evokes laughter and tears.

She really needs to get the notification she deserve.

If someone destroyed her Oscar, shame on that person!!!

They absolutely should replace her award, she deserved the true one. They should recognize all she was able to accomplish even in those times. If it was stolen or destroyed out of ill will, that's even more reason to replace it. They should, under NO circumstances, EVER give it back to Howard university. She entrusted this piece of her legacy to them and they let her down. They were letting students touch it?! Then to top it all off they deny she ever gave it to them, in the face of everyone on the planet that knows she did. They should be ashamed of themselves! They should never be allowed to have that honor again. Replace it, but replace it to a more trustworthy establishment. >:o

Bless Clark Gable for offering to boycott the opening party on Hattie's behalf! What a wonderful story and what a great guy!

That man would have destroyed an award that ,that woman had to fight to get? What an ass.,what other roles does he think she could have played?He obviously doesn't understand how things worked in Hollywood back then and what is bad about being a maid? There is no shame in it.

She may have portrayed a lowly maid but she acted everyone else off the screen. It’s ridiculous to say her award is an a front to people of colour. If a white man was awarded an Oscar for playing Judas, would there be uproar? Hattie was an amazing and incredible person and actress. Long may her name and work live in our memory.

I hope that Oscar is found if not replaced-and I hope that when Mon'que gets around to portraying her, that that performance will merit a Best Actress Oscar.

Hattie relatives should sue or take Howard University to court they need show responsibilty for the oscar.

WOW...the Academy should make another one and put it in the Smithsonian, there it will be safe...let's begin a Petition........

2020 still a dirty time in American history.

I am not understanding some of these problems with Hattie McDaniel who was playing a "pretend" character of the civil war era. No one walked away liking Scarlett but everyone love Hatties' portrayal of "mammie" a true word used in that era in the south but it's a "role" not her life. Here is the REAL Hattie I saw in another interview...after she won, first in the history of a black actress,: who attacked her then was not fellow black people or non blacks but the POLITICAL NAACP. Mr. White was president of the national NAACP and he rambled about these roles black folks were reduced to. Sadly he had no interest that most of ALL America was impoverished by the great depression and work was hard to find for anyone. However, Hattie was no shy violet...she lashed out at what he said and stated, " I would rather play a maid that have to be one" and "what does Mr. White know anyway he is only one third black." Hattie was a true American and to this day we know Hatties name NOT Mr. Ignorant White.....Class stand out and sustains.

This is the Monique I’d like to see and hear return again... Such talent and good preserve she’s got.

Loved her and hell..she was smart, rolled with the punches, and made money doing what she loved to do. She knew her worth, and did not need validation in any way.❤

Wouldn’t it have been awesome to have met this beautiful lady.

Sa-ad El-Amin, the Protest Leader of the students at Howard University in the late 1960's, makes a rather silly fool of himself in his foolish and ill-conceived notion that (the great) Hattie McDaniel demeaned people of African descent by playing the role of Mammy. History states clearly that some black women, in the servant role foisted upon them, had to serve that population as their Mammy. It's a fact. They did. HOWEVER, a fair share of them more than likely were more important to their Scarlett O'Hara's then their own mothers had been. Miss McDaniel brought majesty to her part, playing it truthfully. A true representation of a type of personage that did in fact exist in those old and dead days. You can't re-write history. It happened. The shame of it is not that she demeaned anybody but was demeaned by the times of those days - in that she had to sit at the far end of the theater on the evening of the awards. So that man is fool - and apparently event though he is 50 years older, still is. More power to McDaniel. See her beautiful comedic moments in "Alice Adams" and "Show Boat" and "Saratoga" and her dramatic moments in "In This Our Life" - holding more than her own with Katharine Hepburn and Irene Dunne and Jean Harlow and Bette Davis. She made you laugh out loud and cry out loud.

Hattie McDaniel I admired her integrity, and intelligence. She has come a long way since she was a father. Her father faught the Civil, and virtually was supportive by her friends in the acting field. I hope that someday the Oscar that Hattie worked hard for will soon be found. Where did it go?

The Academy needs to replace the Oscar and put it in The African American History Museum

Miss Hattie's personality of a kind, caring and loving person I thought always shined through in her smile and her eyes. I never knew her personally but it seemed so much of herself came across in the film roles she portrayed. She played humble yet strong women and I could see that. From what I could see through her performances in films, she persevered and she accomplished more than other black women of her time. It is sad too that even in her death that she was discriminated against and that is so wrong. She was a good woman. I will always remember her character, her voice, her smile and her personality. There will never be another Hattie McDaniel.

I watch her with warmth and comfort. That's what she brought people entertainment warmth and comfort

Hattie McDaniel stole just about every movie in which she was cast. Just watch her in the dinner scene in Alice Adams. She'll have you in stitches!

It gives me chills! So much humanity, pride, and love for her people. Forever in my heart the great, Hattie McDaniels...🏆😍

I am very proud of Hattie McDaniels and Butterfly McQueen. And whoever that was in the video that said her award deserves to be at the bottom of the river....all I could think was: "I wish he would take a swim and end up at the bottom of the river.''' But that was truth. What this guy said was living truth. Negro People would have done away with her statue from negativity and jealousy and all. It was that way. No matter what you do with a statue the world won't forget either one of these beautiful women.

No one mentioned her work with Shirley Temple.

A better place would have been the Smithsonian.

May God continue to rest Ms. Hattie McDaniel forevermore Hopefully, the Academy will gain a soul and do the right thing regarding Ms. Hattie Mcdaniel's Oscar and the recreating of it

Wow. It's sad and unfortunate that you have misinterpreted the film, Ms. McDaniel and the amazing contributions of African Americans.

Very interesting, pioneer lady! Thanks for the upload!

They didn't want her at the premiere of "Gone With The Wind!" Clark Gable spoke up! My grandmother had the hots for Clark Gable! They didn't allow her and her date to sit with the cast "Gone With The Wind." SHAMEFUL!!!🇺🇸

I love Hattie McDaniel. ❤ Thank you Hattie! Rest in peace.

She was amazing...anf shame on that spoiled Olivia De Havilin for leaving the room and stomping around because she didnt win. Hattie did!!!!😊😊

Hattie actually filmed 6 episodes of BEULAH, not 2.

I have always liked Clark Gable. I didn't know he'd been willing to forego the opening of GWTW to support her.

We all have that oscar now.

don't you want to bet that whoever was over the drama department at Howard University in the 70s, when the college cut drama out, took Hattie McDaniel's Oscar with them? Seems logical because they would know once the drama Department was gone, the statue would end up in a back room in a cardboard box.

Yes. I would love to see Monique play Miss Hattie McDaniel. Yes!!

Strong woman ...strong black women inspiring to all of us.

We need a first...... reissue her Oscar....!!!!!!

She was a beautiful lady and very talented..

Hattie was such a classy woman. The fact that she often played a maid, in my opinion, proved her amazing acting ability. She was a true pioneer. She lives on through her enduring work. I look forward to meeting her in the presence of our Loving Lord one glorious day. 🙏✝️♥️

Michael Jackson bought Hattie McDaniel's Oscar for "Gone With The Wind" for Several Millions of dollars. It was displayed on a pedestal at Neverland. This was Michael Jackson's most prized possession. It might be a Julien's in Hollywood as part of Michael Jackson's Exhibit.

In Gone with the Wind, she had a LOT of authority in the O'Hara house. Next to their mom, the girls had to listen to Mammy, though Scarlet wasn't one to listen to anyone.

Hattie McDaniel I admire the intelligence. She has come a long way since her father faught for his civil rights of freedom during the civil war. During the civil rights of acceptable people of color, Hattie experienced not being accepted because the color of her skin. Hattie McDaniel acquired many supportive actors, and actresses from Clark Gable who would often visit her Sunday afternoons just to have dinner, and talk. Even though she never had children of her own, but child actors, and actresses admired her warm personality, and integrity. When she passed away from breast cancer at the age of 57, America has lost a wonderful warm hearted woman. Thank you...👵🏽😇🌹

Thank you Monique! Give Hattie her due

I liked her period. You can make it racial all you want. I liked her.

👍🌹 Thanks,for the upload period. As well, the truth is needed even more so now and great respect to this gifted and special lady. Stay healthy.

Hattie is awesome great actress 💕💕💕

So relevant right now with the movie ban of -Gone with the Wind

I am not sure if any of you know,I have worked all my life being a walk-on and supporting actor, you are never invited to walk the red carpet or even get a mention, Hattie received an Oscar for her outstanding supporting role very rare in most cases, the for was based on history " not today" , even today many black female celebrities are jealous of her success

Now's that time to have her Oscar restored and perhaps Howard University wouldn't be incompetent this time around.

I dont care about color. What matters to me is the person has a heart that is open and easy to be with. Love to all humanity

Really if you think about it.people say the old Tom N Jerry cartoons were racist because of the lady who owned Tom being black,and the way she talked/dressed.But,in reality,the character was based from Hattie McDaniels performance as Mammy....

How dare that man say he would have destroyed her Oscar!!! She worked hard to help the next generation so they didn't have to!!! Everything has a start and it takes time to open the eyes of people who live in glass cages!! Hattie McDaniel was awesome and nobody knows what she endured to get where she was but her!! That statement turned my blood to boiling!!

It would have been wrong for anyone to destroy Ms. Hattie McDaniel Oscar. This was not given to her. She earned it. She chose to give it to Howard Universty to remind African Americans that we can do anything we put imind too. I also did not like the way Hollywood stereo type her. But she said I will play the hell out of this roll and make everyone remember me. As well as being a trail blazer for her people. Look at all the black actresses today who she blazed a trail for. Hollie Barry, Monique, Viola Davis. Regina King and many more. So thank God for Ms. Hattie McDaniel. And shame on Howard University for not taking care of what she work so hard for . Not just the statue but her legacy for us. Howard University must make it right. Dedicate a day in her honor.

Hattie the first person to win an oscar for her legacy

I loved Mammy and Scarlett!!

Excuse me but how many historical black colleges that Ms Hattie McDaniel pass to come to Howard University to present them with her oscar? When I think of how she came all the way from California to present Howard University with one of her greatest accomplishments. I get pissed.

Hollywood may have applauded Hattie but it did not and still does not - applaud Black people.

GOD WILL REDEEMER US .

At the time, how did the Academy even vote for her to get an award?!!

Maybe someone grabbed the Oscar for safe keeping. If that happened, where is it now??? Hattie should have kept her Oscar . She had good and lovely intentions, but I would have kept my Oscar.

I'd rather him said they got rid of it because it was diffrent than the other actors award.

Why would someone take off with her accomplishment? It may have meant nothing to them, but it meant something to her! She was the first, and set the stone! Her family should take legal action...

I'd like to know the update on Ms. Hattie McDonald's oscar that's missing from Howard University. 😊

I'm very proud of Miss McDaniel. I love when she said "I would rather make 700 dollars a week playing a maid,than 7 dollars being one." I am very offended the comment made by Mr.Sa'ad El-Amin, stating that ,if the Oscar Miss McDaniel received "IS in the Potomac ,that is the appropriate place for it to be".That was cold-hearted and racist, and don't drag Afticans into this .Miss McDaniel earned that Oscar it just wasn't given to her.This is just my own opinion.Also to me, 700 a week is a lot of money nowadays!

How disgraceful she couldn't attend the premiere of her own movie!! Thank god we have moved forward!

The award should be replaced and given to museum of African American history

She had power in Gone with the Wind. She told that southern belle off and kept in her line. Not sure why that was demeaning.

Monique should play her in a biopic.

A great actress she leads the way

she didn't win an Oscar, she won a Tombstone. Give her the Oscar like the ones presented.

Those days are very bad and sad days of life

I am so livid over that fool saying he would have destroyed Ms. Mc Daniels' Academy Award!!! That statement was so IGNORANT it left me speechless. That is equivalent to spitting on this great woman's grave or her memorial at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Who in the hell does this jack-ass think he is??? That statement was just plain rude and beyond DISRESPECTFUL. He should be ashamed of himself!!!!!!!

The Blacks should pool their money to get her and buy our own theatre and talent schools

I think it’s lame that she accomplished so much and her own people were barely supportive. She broke barriers!

Now that it is a shame. Howard should be upset and explain themselves.

and now monique says she was blacklisted. No judgment. Just saying. the scandal goes on :o And robin williams is in the oscar clip. could this video be some sort of temporal inteconnective point in the space time continuum?

Way to go hattie ✊✊✊

💙💛we love her...Gamma Gamma Sigma Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc

They know who stole that Oscar

Hope people knew the name Hattie McDaniel famous Black women

Fuck gone with the wind!

I feel bad?for Hattie mcdanielss?memory

I bet she Fried the best fried Chicken 😋😋😋 and corn bread

🖤

9/6/17: That's alright, one day, and maybe soon, the papers of justice will finally be served to this hateful, cruel world.

Miss MacDaniel could BE a maid for $5 a week or PLAY a maid for $500 a week. What would you do?

Same they stole Hattie McDaniel Oscars... Mustve been a gold not plastic

Didn't I understand that Clark Gable was mix race..kept secret?

We're ONLY BORN to fall in LOVE with JESUS, THEN go Home to live with Him FOREVER! "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15! REPENT and RECEIVE JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOUR to have your name secured in His Book of Life! Time is winding up...

17:49 wow .... this dude!! I hear some of what he is saying and basically he is saying she fit that stereotype, therefore it wasnt acting, therefore she didnt deserve the award and therefore, had he known he had access, he would have ripped it up. Get over yourself. YOU say she wasnt really acting but who are u to tear up everything she accomplished on her own in a "world" that typically would have viewed her as less than She clearly earned her way in to our hearts harder than most RESPECT HER. ugh .... get out of your hive mindset Having the same skin color as her does not give u the right to be freshly offended by offenses SHE endured ... Some of u think u know what she endured and u only lessen the impact of the determination she had to rise above .... how dare u use her tribulations to cry 'foul, im the victim" ... she (not all of u) faced them herself already and she did it without u there to help her. This is a HUGE problem that BLM bullies ppl from talking about ..... the hive mind thing infecting some of the americans who are black ..... you dont get to suffer for other ppl and rewrite their legacy in order to excuse yourself from addressing the real source of your insecurity. sighs ...... rip hattie: you were the embodiment of what it is to be american. I will never forget all your hard work and accomplishments You are an inspiration to many of all colors. 💞 Ps hattie, wish u would have left in the hands of white ppl to pasd down to the world, for all americans who are black to be able to hold. Just sayin.

You give to Howard university, what did you think would happen to it.

That would be worth alot of money.

No maam. Hati is dark skin. Monique shouldn’t play her.

14:40 "Break through for Black Culture" What's he talking about..? WRONG! Fuck the Oscars!

I don't understand why blacks would be outraged regarding Hattie playing a maid when those were the only rolls offered in order to be in a blockbuster movie then, and she humbled herself and made a name for herself! . What blacks should be appalled about is how Monique, rappers who really belong to gangs and the thugs in show business today or the losers who fill the prisons everywhere because they wanted easy money but didn't want to conduct themselves morally or ethically as people to really be proud of in life! Even Monique messed up her chances at being a star because she chose to use filthy language all the time as a norm and her bad attitude always playing the victim in life. Well Hollywood is getting fed up with people like her and now even she cant get work anymore! She did it to herself. You all should be proud of Hattie because she had moral values in her personal life and realized that there are no small parts in movies....There are only small actors! If Hattie looked down at Monique she would not be happy with her at all!

MS. HATTIE. I WILL SEE YOU WHEN I GET HOME TO HEAVEN. YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE. YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE

Stolen probably! 😢
