I remember once as a young boy of 10 going on a vacation with my family from Arizona to Florida to visit my grandparents. When traveling through the south I remember stopping at a park in Georgia to have lunch. I was thirsty and I was looking around for a drinking fountain and I saw one a little ways off. So I went over there to get a drink and when I went to get a drink I noticed a sign that said Black's only. Right before I started to drink some young black boys came up and pleaded with me to please not drink from that fountain because if any white people saw me drinking there they would be the ones who would get in trouble for allowing a white person to drink from the black water fountain. Having never encountered this type of segregation before I was completely confused and I asked the boys, it's the same water isn't it? And they just continued to say please don't drink here. There's a fountain for whites and they pointed out where I was to go. That was a very eye-opening experience for me. One that to this day I could never understand.
That's the way the dominant racist WHITE SUPREMACISTS/SEGREGATIONISTS organized it to be! Black people had NO Civil Rights throughout the JIM CROW-ERA in the southern region of the USA.....😕
Jerry Skinner for president of the U.S.A.. Wonderful video to worldwide (🌎) of a very famous woman. A video about Jerry Skinner. Soon.🙏. Thank you very much.
A great production Jerry, thank you so much. Another weekend starting with a Jerry Skinner documentary. The woman had a lot of guts to do what she did. I always admired her for her courage. Thanks again Jerry, please keep em coming. Augie and Jill Blase, Winter Springs, Florida 🤠
Very interesting to learn more about her. I was surprised that she was not the first to refuse to give up her seat. I do find it very ironic that she handled everything surrounding her arrest with such dignity and grace and yet she parted ways with Martin Luther King Jr because he refused to follow the violent ways of the militants! The policeman's answer said it all: "Why are you doing this?" Answer: "I don't know." People who see things that they know are wrong, need to speak up and speak out!
I was raised in the military, we didn't see any of this bigotry. My siblings and I went to school with all races and I really find it hard to imagine living in the world Rosa had to live in. I do not know how anyone tolerates and perpetuates racism.
HOW IS IT RANDOM WHEN 3 OTHER WOMEN WAS FORCED TO DO THE SAME THING IN THAT TIME PERIOD, THE ONLY THING PLANED WAS THE WHITE RACIST MINDSET. WHICH STILL CONTINUES TODAY
I grew up during these days of Civil War... It formed my sociological perspective on what kind of man I would become. I admire the tenacity and courage these oppressed people displayed against the Status Quo. The Black American women demonstrated the Moxie that pushed the Movement to be recognized and succeed. 😊 . If I'd been alive when Slavery was legal, I would be guilty of having sired many Mulatto children. I ❤️ LOVE the Dark Skinned Women. I'm married to one and have 4 beautiful children with her. 😮.
Dear Mr Jerry Skinner. Can you please do a Documentary on Ida B Wells. You did one on Rosa Parks. You Saw what Rosa Parks did in her life. And now please do one of Ida B Wells and what she did in her life. You have to make it even Dear sir. I thank you for your time.
I wonder if she ever recanted her support of the use of violence in her later years. Interesting story with all the other names that are largely forgotten to rid us of those indefensible laws.
Good Morning and Afternoon @JerrySkinner1943, Video Request: Kenneth Tobey: The Thing From Another World (Jerry Skinner Documentary)., Next Video Request: Simon Oakland: Tony Vincenzo The Boss of Kolchak (Jerry Skinner Documentary).
Thanks Jerry, I can't understand why this could have happened in the twentieth century, particularly as most people in the USA are not native Americans be it white or black. Did native Americans go through the same nonsense on busses? Thanks for this being another brilliant documentary which was well studied and narrated by your good self, I appreciate all the hard work that you have gone through to produce yet another great work my friend. Take care and all the best. Stevie
What a Lady !!! I remember when She passed away and I was broken hearted 😥 I hope She didnt hate white people... Though I couldn't blame her if She did
To NOT give a seat to a pregnant woman is a sin. No matter your color. THIS is when things go TOO far. And when you get what you want, then, turn violent, you turned from GOD and walked in the den of fire. PRAISE GOD WHEN THINGS GO RIGHT. AND HAVE PEACE.
I don’t her I wouldn’t have gotten up either for a white person, this lady worked all day, she was tired, it shouldn’t have been no laws like that, that’s BS.
