Don't you remember what she said to Trump about that the Democrats didn't spy on him but now we know the truth they did spy on him and Hillary Clinton tried to say that he was involved with Russia we now know that was a lie and they're in court right now convicting these people of trying to destroy our great president and she is one of them and what have she got to say about that lady she's a leftist she's in favor of the democratic party how can you even watch her show after what she's done you ought to be ashamed she's great friends with the Democrats and Joe Biden and she's one of the elite that wanted to destroy our country quit watching this woman show quit watching 60 minutes especially if they have her on there he tried to make our great president out to be a liar and I've heard some horrible things about her I don't know if they're true but I wouldn't doubt it

I am also grateful for the people along the way that made the purchase possible. Idk if I could be brave enough to stand on the land that my ancestors suffered on. I would probably weep and mourn and never return. I’m in tears just watching this episode. I hope the Miller family keeps this property for ever!

If someone could have told the ancestors one day, despite all of this terror, your family will OWN this house & this property, could you imagine the hope they would have? That was all God at that moment reminds me of the Bible verse “Look, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭28‬:‭15‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Lovely story. My mother in law was not black, but lost both parents as a child and had no history, not even grandparents. She too was from Pennsylvania. It bothered her so my husband spent two years, learned latin to study old documents, visited grave yards, and was able to trace her back to 1100 in England. He wrote up the findings in novel form, made charts, and contacted and sent copies to all relatives. It gave her a sense of belonging. How sad and horribly frustrating it must be to come from slavery and have that history lost forever. I hope your families story shows others how to attempt to search for any information that might exist.

Hey Kathy I don't know how old you are or if you remember an amazing story of ancestry called roots it was the best selling book with the international Acclaim it was also a miniseries in the United States with the same. The trouble with that story was that it was later I found to be a hoax who is it Arthur Haley was the author from that mistaken it ended up that the not only was this not a story about his ancestors it wasn't even a true story. I am not making this up and this is not something that you know is a racist propaganda this is just a fact and of course no one would attack him on that he might have even admitted it from that mistake. Come out I don't know four or five years ago or let's go back 6 years and all the I would have believed it because it was coming from 60 minutes but seeing how 60 minutes have got so much wrong over the last 6 years literally spread lies said that they didn't know they were lies but never made any retractions and the basic political climate and the crazy CRT series and wulk ISM I don't believe this at all so as I've heard I've been listening cuz I'm blind to come in after common starting wow this is so amazing what this is amazing well sometimes things that are that amazing need to be looked into an orphan or not that true so I don't feel the need to research this in any great way I'm sure if somebody would dug into the paperwork other than 60 minutes and was able to verify all this I I believe it then but as it stands now I don't believe it I'm not trying to really change your mind but just trying to say sometimes stories of usually great importance are even true I.e roots and maybe this story. And I haven't heard anyone in the comments seem to say that how much better things have gotten it as far as the people of color minorities who have improved their lot. In a million years could I never ever as hard as I work before I went blind as hard as my family works could have ever dreamed of buying a place like that apparently they will blessed with the opportunities to reap and enjoy the American dream doesn't matter what color they are and we're able to purchase such a piece of property. I am one of the I am a person who is ethnicity is the most hatist in the country and no I'm not a Asian no I'm not letting you know and no I'm not black I am Jewish and right now in modern day America 60% of all reported hate crimes are against the Jewish people the Jewish people make up only 3% of the population now if you figure that out that's insane hatred and it's aimed at not the above I mentioned but Jews and yeah where's the outcry where's the support for my people and it's not just in America in in the world today the increase in violent hate crimes against Jews worldwide is that an all-time high it's not just breaking records for the last 20 years or 30 years it's not an all-time high nobody's out there defending me and my people nobody's out there trying to make this known to the country in the world but hey life isn't always fair and life I or none of the people I know who share my ethnicity are standing on the front step of their state local governments or our own government the federal government asking for reparations asking for free housing asking for free education asking for a loans to be cancel or asking for anything else that is not given to us because we feel that we've been of the object of unfinished which we have been. You know when my father was younger he remembered the his family looking for apartments and the signs on the property literally said no dogs no Jews no color so yeah you know anything that we get we get cuz we earned it and that's how it should be across the board you know I don't think any this meant too many people that can say that the whole family's will literally tortured and then executed and experimented on in the numbers that my people have just 80 years ago and it's not a crutch that we use it's a matter of fact that we excel in everything disproportionately which is another reason I think why people hate us it's called jealousy anyway sincerely about the blind bedroom guitarist I wish you health I wish you happiness and I wish you the American dream whatever that dream is to you as long as you're not stepping on anyone else's toes LOL which I do all the time is a blind person sincerely Bob the blind bedroom guitars

But, to try and speak to his older sister (my aunt) about my grandmother, she would give hardly any information. She didn’t want to talk to me too much about her or her family. The conversation always dried up after what names she knew. I can tell you, my dad and his siblings didn’t have social security numbers until they applied for them as adults. My oldest aunt allowed my grandfather “help” her get her social security card. When she received it, she said, “My name isn’t even (I’ll use a fake name) Mariah!, it’s Queenie!!” I realized “Uh, no.. grandpa just did what he always does.. Something he shouldn’t have!!” 🙄🙄

@@elatomala1976 As a Christian, I believe what the Bible says about the dead which is that they (good and bad) will go back to dust in the grave until they're resurrected to be judged. I look forward to seeing my ancestors in the coming resurrection. If I die before then, I have faith that I will be resurrected to a peaceful earth, along with billions of others who have died. Genesis 3:19 “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Ecclesiastes 9:5 “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing,..." Psalms 146:4 “His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.” The Bible says that there will be (future tense) a resurrection, so the dead are in the grave until then. Acts 24:15 “And have hope toward God,... that there shall be a resurrection of the dead Daniel 12:2 “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake..." John 5:28 “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,..." John 5:29 “And shall come forth;..."

@@TheDarkDresser I'm a Catholic and from having near death experiences I have my own thoughts. I also, pray to many Saints that I consider my spiritual friends and Guardian Angel's. I also, do my Rosary to Mary mother of God. She too hears our prayers to save the children of the world. May God bless protect and guide us all as we walk through this valley of darkness I pray Amen Read your Bible Revelations tells you everything. Have a blessed day. The trinity to me is that our body turns to dust, our souls go to heaven, and our spirits stay to protect those we've left behind and it can return to the soul in the blink of an eye.

In all seriousness. His ancestors probably never thought in a million years one of their descendants would not only be able to own this land but also afford it. They worked every day and night thinking their people would live there forever enslaved. And in under 200 years one of their descendants did it.

You know, watching this, it really hits you how relatively recent slavery was in history. The fact that this man was able to buy the house his ancestors were enslaved at is surreal, but so is the fact that so much is so well preserved also speaks to so much. It really wasn't that long ago.
