The Ellises visit Rickwood Field 

Jackson crying was the most beautiful moment I’ve seen in a while, we are the descendants of our ancestors and in so many ways we feel that pain that our ancestors had to go through, seeing him acknowledge that so young was deep.. He as well as his brothers have very bright and meaningful lives ahead of them

When Jackson cried, I lost it. I just wanted to hug him and tell him that everything will get better. However, I’m going to stay in prayer on that one.

Jackson knowing his father can hold space for him to express his emotions without judgement but knowing his feelings will be validated. Well done Devale 👌🏽👏🏽You & Khay are raising those kings so well ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Jackson’s cry of deep love and compassion for his ancestors was touching. It still hurts when we hear the stories today.

They way Jackson's tears created a waterfall of tears for me. I love a good cry, thank you Jackson!

Jackson has a sensitivity and compassion that is truly God-given. Praises to DeVale for the way he let him know that crying made him no less a man! I love the life lessons that Kay and DeVale teach their sons! They're both on the same page about how to rear their boys and it's a beautiful thing! Love them! ❤

Jackson has the sweetest heart. I love the way Dad comforts him and lets him know it’s ok to be who he is. I salute you both as parents raising our future Men of honor in our Culture ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Omg!!! Seeing Jackson cry like made me cry.

Jackson crying, show his caring side and its good.I cried for him too.❤

I so appreciate what you are doing with your children, teaching them about their history!

Jackson's reaction is why it is necessary to have black history in schools for ALL to learn. But black people, please teach your children at home. Ellis dad and mom Great job. I love it. Don't stop.💜

Aaaaw, That touched me so much when Jackson cried! Teaching/showing them about history is everything!

I ❤ the fact that you guys are teaching your kids history. Here they trying to take it out the schools idk how old it gets, it's important to know your history.

Beautiful to see true, genuine and loving fatherly guidance

A father at its best love y’all with my soul

You guys are doing a superb job at raising your boys I am so proud of you my brother and sister I pray for your strength health and wealth your boys will be known in the world for greatness thank you Jesus ❤️🙌🏿

Jackson is such a sensitive child. I cried with him. 😢❤

I Love this Beautiful family they are the best ❤❤ And I also Love that Ya'll came to Birmingham Alabama ❤Blessings on top of Blessings and more.. God come first always Love, Hugs you guys

Devale is a Great Father the way he handled Jackson breakdown. The Family values they teaching their children Love and Honoring God to do their Best if they do that their proud of them.❤

Jackson brought me to tears too. Thank you

That was so sweet when Jaxson cried. That fact he felt that emotion on this history speaks volumes about his young spirit.

I failed the challenge. It's so hard to see what our ancestors went thru. I'm so grateful to have been able to do something that makes them proud. Showing them, they didn't fight in vain. I love that these kids got to see what they could. Jackson broke me down. I was already emotional knowing the history of Birmingham. Thank u for sharing this. ❤❤❤"Think bigger, do bigger". I love that they're being raised on that. It's what our ancestors had to do to break barriers for us to live a better life here in America. 🌟

Always love the lessons you instill in the boys

Whew, Jackson's tears created a waterfall in my tear ducts. I love the comfort you provided to let him know it was ok to release your emotions through tears. Love this family, frfr.

As always you guys always touch my heart ❤️. May God continue to bless you all 🙏 And thank you for sharing the history to your beautiful boy's 💖🙏💖💖

Jax, I felt that 😭😭😭 & the way Roro hugged him, now that brotherly love 🤎🤎🤎

You are an awesome human, Jackson, I understand. Your parents are showing you historical locations, what a blessing. I did the same thing when I went the National Musuem of African American History and Culture in DC.

Jackson has a sweet heart. I was crying when Jackson was crying.

This was a touching listen and i felt it more, when ur son started to cry, and u telling him dont be afraid to cry,. Continue to be the great parents you both are and take care of each other as always!!

Thank you for this important video. Bless you.

Love how Devale spoke into Jackson at the baseball field. Powerful!

Oh y’all wrong for this. Had me in tears. 🥺❤

Oh my goodness watching Jackson cry made me cry. It was hard watching him experience that pain.

Don't give up on baseball Jackson. It is a very hard sport, however a determined young man like yourself can become good at it. Let your younger brothers see that hard work and determination pays off. Great job parents on giving this exposure to your boys.

History as it relates to us stirs up so much within. But Jackson’s response,,, yep, that took me out. Truly understand it and wish more youth did.

Yes please make a comeback 👌🏾

Excellent parents!

Yall are amazing parents 💕 seeing Jackson cry made me cry too but he has to know his history, the good,the bad, and the ugly. the real story not what they teach in school

This was a Good 1!! 😇

Jax we fighting settled law again to make it better for you and those who come after you. I know it hurts, makes us cry, but it is our history. Sending you hugs, my internet nephew.😢

OMG, THAT BROKE ME DOWN, 😢😢😢 JACKSON UNDERSTOOD WHAT HIS GRANDPAREPNTS AND THOSE WHO HAVE PAVE AWAY FOR EACH GENERATION. I WAS BORN IN THE EARLY SIXTIES, SO WHEN I STARTED SCHOOL THERE WAS STILL ALOT OF TENTION GOING ON BECAUCE OF RACE, NOW WE SEE OUR OWN PEOPLE DESTROYING EACH OTHER, WHICH IS SO VERY SAD. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS. 🙏🏿✝️

Devale, Khadeen, you two really take me to truth. I'm planning to attend many Junetenth events this weekend. I'm excited to be able to visit Eatonville for the first time. I'm more than impressed that you took your children to Birmingham. I've haven't mustered up that courage yet, however, you have given me the strength to go. THANK YOU!!!

I felt that cry.

I love you guys ❤😊

Jax made me cry.

This right here 😢😢😢 to see Jackson so emotional means he gets it. Devale and Kay Kay you are both awesome parents. Not only are you teaching this to Jackson but to so many more people some history. Not everybody have the opportunty or even able to go to places like this so you have no idea how you are educating others. When I was in school we never learned anything about slavery nor anything in reference to race. In Texas schools they taught us Texas History. I learned a lot about colored and colorism when we would go to my grandparents for the summer months in Louisiana. I remember my grandmother could never buy yards of material just scraps and we would have to go in the back door of the store and only allowed so far in the store. Black people paid the same price for scraps the what white people paid for a yard of fabric. My grandmother was so talented she would make me beautiful designs and the white ladies would ask her to make dresses for their daughters and granddaughters and she charged them a hefty price for her skills and time. I made my grandmother promise she would never make them anything identical to what she made for me. My grandfather would go into town to sell his crop and he was not allowed to look the white man in the eye. He would give his price and they would try to talk him down he would say, ”My price is firm”. I loved watching him stand tall to them it made me proud to be black knowing we had what they wanted and he had secrets to make the quality of his crop better. When the movie roots first came out is when we really learned so much and it sited a lot of riots. We have come a long way but still have a long way to go. I know God will continue covering us. Keep up the good work educating people on reality and life. Big hugs to Jackson❤❤❤❤❤❤

You notice how Kay was holding Kota and she just pushed Jackson towards his father and he did all the ‘work’ ... #TeamWork

My Father’s grandfather’s brother played with Satchel Page.

wait this is last summers vacay i saw this didnt i kota wasnt walking yet

💙💙💙💙

❤️💪🏾❤️

We need to continue to teach our culture about ancestors Schools aren't going to do it It's more than usual African Americans we have been taught that have paved the way for our generation and to come

Yes, Lawd cry Jackson 😢 Jesus wept

They hate us because we Gods chosen People no race/human being walking on earth as creative, talented, spiritually intelligent & connected as us ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

The dodger had a game their like a week ago against the whitesock I think

No I can't be work shopping with you and yours. I cam out. With a new book. Why? (Lashes)

I lived in Birmingham while attending law school. All I can say is while actual city progressed with time, the mindsets did not.

Lol, all I do on the internet is cry with strangers 🥹😂 I love what Devale said to Jackson when he felt the emotions coming to the surface. You’re doing a great job Ellis family. 🫶🏾✨

😢

I was doing just fine until Jax started crying. Then I lost it😢😢😢
