Henry "Peg" Gilbert was a Black man lynched in his jail cell. This is his story. FULL STORY: abc7chicago.com/the-lynching-... Subscribe: abc7.ws/youtube
Unless they give the LAND back to the Gilbert family, the apology at the end doesn't mean anything at all. 110 acres of land was stolen, and an empty apology from a THIEF is meaningless.
go back in history these war mungers that call themselves Americans (dam stupid ) was all immigrants no Americans the people of the americas is the natives . So everyone else is immigrants and they the Greeks romans , from Spain Latin countries that started the slav aka slavery of their own people they are the origin of all this atrocities
But if that happens, what do the people whom had it stolen before that get? My people were forced off that land too. Hung, whipped, raped, and so forth. It was ALWAYS stolen land. We can't support a "land back", we can do other things, but "land back" isn't the answer
@@haleyguthrie3113 Hailey, please give us a concrete, verifiable example. Then, we can reconstruct it, and create a case for reparations of some sort for this person, family, or group. Whether the person or group is Black, White, Native American, or ANY recipient of clear-cut, verifiable theft, let's hear the merits of their case, and find a way to help. You are correct that each case is different, though.
@Mizzy Wade spiritual warfare is how we as black ppl ended up being at the bottom. We were the chosen ones. Many will never understand the depth of disobedience to God.
Didn't they sell up and move on? Already at the point In the story when mention was made of 110 acres, I already knew why Mr Gilbert had to die. And why they had the gall to imprison a widow in fresh grieving straight after. I suspect she was also destined to exit the jail house in a body bag. And the syndicate that orchestrated the arrest and murder, from the town leaders at the helm all the way to the officer acting in self defence, already knew how they would split the proceeds of sale. Of course, I've been watching too much True Crime TV. 🤢
Your foreign ignorance is showing. When Black Americans were Forced to sell their property under Jim Crow laws it was never for a PROFIT and they never got a good deal. The White landowner they sold it to got it for dirt cheap every time.
You mean Hebrew 12 Tribes of Israel. Read your bible YAHSHUA was nailed to a tree. Not "Hail Zeus". His name was also the very first slave ship ("Hail Zeus The good ship) Every Nation enslaved us. 10 Commandments Sabbath Saturday not Sunday. They stole our identity.
We Are Young Knighton all black people he must come together brothers and sisters hear me it's more get your license get your guns these people are crazy these people are disrespecting our kids our grandmother our fathers time out no more singing Malcolm X by any means necessary Martin Luther King tried but they killed him we can't stand behind Justice cuz it isn't no such thing wake up wake up we are taught to love someone who's killing all brothers and sisters wake up
White people wonder why we can't just "forget about it." Here is your answer. There are people alive that experienced these injustices. How are they supposed to forget?
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion […] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” (Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order)
Somehow the family should at the very least be compensated for the land that was lost due to what their parents went through. Saying sorry isn’t always enough like the grandson was saying.
@You Mad Bro Your ancestry doesn’t stem from this! Enslaved people that then went through Jim Crow laws, and are still undergoing systemic racism. Not saying poor isn’t poor but poor white people have never went up against institutional, generational racism. As a white person you will be given an opportunity and the benefit of the doubt, the only group of people that get on the job training where typically experience and education are mandatory!
That's only because we refuse to unite mentally against our natural enemy and give them back their Poisonous Religious teachings. Time is ticking and Nature will take its course.
What can be done about it now? They stole the there land and he's talking about Christ in their life he was in church back then and we are still being beaten down. Wake up my people wake-up
If ppl understood God and spiritual warfare there would be a clear understanding of how we ended up at the bottom. We were suppose to be at the top running things.
Even the weather is being weapoinized. Project Blue Beam. Do your research on the Billions of Cicadas coming in May. Planned & plotted 17 years ago all across almost every state in usa. Dont take the vaccine.
Sad story. I’m angry and the county still don’t want to give back the 110 acres of land to the Gilbert family. It’s sad today that it is still like that today.
They stay trying to pacify us with Jesus.......take your blessings and apologies and turn them into a check! That family deserves all the land that was stolen from them times two!
With due respect to the organization that brought Henry "Peg" Gilbert's apparently unjust lynching to light, why not take your story a step further, like helping the Gilbert clan to retrieve their land, or was it stolen like Mr. Gilbert's life. Just keeping it real.
That family with the 110acres should receive their land back , why hasn't it happened yet you have all the information of where it was that county can do the right thing with them ..
Did they get the farm back? Such a powerful testimony, and harsh reality to accept. Without the 100+ acres returned to the family, there isn't a genuine feeling of care and consideration to the surviving family members.
No one,not even Africans, who's had their lands stolen, returned to them. Unless if it's Zimbabweans...but the price for that,was get sanctioned for years for "terrorism "
This is why I get immensely upset with Modern-day black celebrities who wanna act like white people are our marriageable friends who don't see colour (except your 6-figure) If they can't forgive or forget 9/11 or their little war with Russia and China then why should WE forget???
@@jamesmaddison7403 Who exactly is turning the other cheek? If you understood the Bible you would know turning the other cheek relates ONLY to your own people. And what exactly are you going to do to bring down this system that wypipo have created worldwide. I’m not talking about an individual fight!
God bless this family. White people were jealous of Black people and they still are. This hurts me because I'm Black and I know the stories that my Father told me. I don't understand why some Black people are ashamed of their culture...don't be. Embrace our history. Black people are strong and I am so proud of my ancestors. I love you all. Thank you for everything and I'm so sorry for the pain that you suffered.
Sir, you don't understand what Black people have been through. Please read our histoy so you can understand. In school I was taught HIS STORY not our story. No one is trying to be mean, we are just stating FACTS.
I cannot stress enough how crucial it is for our elders to pass on our oral history. And for the younger generation to be respectfully persistent enough in obtaining this. Especially as sociopolitical and cultural barriers have limited usual methods of documentation and archiving. Not just the good, but the bad and the ugly. Fairy tales are for that warm cuddly feeling. The Heroes' journeys are for inspiration, reconciliation and healing. We should encourage our reticent elders, the repositories of these narrations, to overcome the darkness and gut wrenching intergenerational humiliation that has kept these nightmares internalised. To pass on this oral inheritance that money cannt buy once they're gone. I believe the documentation of, and accessibility to these truths will form an important piece of the jigsaw of the healing of America. On a positive note, what a beautiful couple Mr and Mrs Gilbert were. It was his exquisite presence, physically, financially and mentally that his cowardly murderer smashed to a pulp like a deranged thug trashing a sacred collection of art, fuelled by neanderthal spite and foaming at the mouth.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" Martin Luther King. Thanks to the family for having the courage to tell one of the thousands and thousands of stories that transpired just like this one!! America "The land that racism produced" my quote... Book to read: "100 Years of Lynching"
The land that Henry and Mae Gilbert once owned should be restored to their descendants. That is the least that can be done to undo some of the wrong that was done to this family.
Yes, there are plenty of untold stories such as this. For instance, a friend of mines grandfather had owned 300 acres of land in South Carolina and white folks offered to buy it and he said "no". His grandfather was murdered and his grandmother was "forced" to sell 297 acres, leaving her with 3!
Racism has destroyed the lives of far too many black people in the U.S. over the years! There has to be some strict judgement coming to those evil racist people!
Let's not forget Mr. Byrd...This happened in 1998.... June 7, 1998, Byrd, age 49, accepted a ride from Shawn Berry (age 23), Lawrence Brewer (age 31), and John King (age 23). Berry, who was driving, was acquainted with Byrd from around town. Instead of taking Byrd home, the three men took Byrd to a remote county road out of town, beat him severely, spray-painted his face,[18] urinated and defecated on him,[19] and chained him by his ankles to their pickup truck before dragging him for about three miles (five kilometers). Brewer later claimed that Byrd's throat had been slashed by Berry before he was dragged. However, forensic evidence suggests that Byrd had been attempting to keep his head up while being dragged, and an autopsy suggested that Byrd was alive during much of the dragging. Byrd died about halfway along the route of his dragging, when his right arm and head were severed as his body hit a culvert.
@@lisasangria1086 Horrifically true. One of those demons was even executed. Then there is George Floyd and a ton of others who've been shot or beaten to death by cops or racist thugs. Actual lynchings, i.e hangings was the old fashioned way of murdering African Americans.
@@lisasangria1086 That may have been the one that was coming onto to the guy in the bar. Not saying it's right for sure but so individuals don't like homosexuals....
This is exactly how they stole all of our ancestors land. Do you realize the economical position ADOS🇺🇸 would be in today if our families would have been able to keep the land many of our families had. My GGGrand parents had land in Augusta Georgia. Don’t know what happened to it....
Same here. I live 45 minutes from Troup County and 15 minutes from Harris County, GA. Sheriff Mike Jolley shown at the church is definitely a “good ole boy”.
The old hating sheriff and his buddies waited until Peg got his land perfect and took it. My grandfather said they did the same thing to his grandfather. The man he worked for left him his land when hs died. But the sheriff and the judge said it had to be a mistake and took it. He never was the same.
The first gentleman speaking has an excellent voice and tone, I could listen to him speak all day, thank you for informing those who want to learn and make changes
Gus Davidson had to defend himself for accidentally hitting a calf and we ALL know they would have killed him. He ran and that man would not have wanted anyone to kill Mr. Henry Gilbert. The sheriff did willingly kill Mr. Henry and got away with Murder. Sooooo Sad for the family and once again soooooo unjust.
So powerful that baby girl was crying 😭… evil times. I’m so proud of her doing big things! RIP to him and I hope the family finds peace and the many more families that suffered.
That's what this was about from beginning their land.... If they thought he was in there they could have just searched the home even f'd it up'd... They knew he wasn't THERE!!! But that land was so now it is time from them to go to the Supreme Court, and fight for what's rightfully there's!!!
That makes me sick and sad to hear a story of a man judged on the color of his skin not by the content of his character as a hard worker, good husband and loving father. I'm glad that he left his legacy through his family, but sad the world lost someone fighting for the American dream. My heart and prayers go to his family. Now that is a crime that needed proper Justice! 💔💞
This is exactly why they DO NOT want this taught in schools,cause they know,they know it was wrong then,and,wrong that it's still happening,plus,their little precious babies may start to see THEM differently,and,those so called "jokes" and action they display will have the kids feeling different about them,which is growth 🤷🏿♂
You better get everyone out there and vote these people out and make sure they don’t take office! Look at the entire state of Florida and the outlawing of Critical Race Theory being taught to public school students when it’s a college level course and it was never taught to lower classes. It’s a way of denying the history of the country being taught as it really happened. Remember that in Texas, textbooks had slavery presented as people who “volunteered” and not the brutal treatment of certain people using religion to justify it!
You can't get angry and upset at Black Americans and tell them to "get over it", *when you do not say the same to Jewish Americans, Indigenous Americans or Japanese Americans* . If you've noticed, many foreigners are well informed in regards to their history and they are not looked down upon for being educated in history. So why is it reversed here in America? Do you tell a grieving spouse who had been cheated on to just "get over it"? If someone hurt a loved one of yours and then yells at you to "get over it", and attempts to tell *you* how to feel, and *disregard/discredits* you, how would you feel about that? *Yes, forgiveness is possible but we still don't forget* . _There must be an acknowledgment, accountability and understanding so that this willful ignorance can't keep spreading like wildfire_ . No, we're not saying to constantly live in this mindset but to be aware and well-informed of your history. *Be a rebel to your comfort-bubble and try to do research on particular subjects* . No need to look down on others for having human emotions.
I have prayed and asked the Lord all my life, Why Father are black people treated like this and when will it end? It WILL END...Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord. I will repay!! And GOD will repay!!!
Thank you for sharing this history of your family and I think you all a amazing strong family and as I sit here praying and crying for change in this hateful world
Unfortunately my family went through the same thing of having land taken and a life taken and nothing being done about either the sad part is are a lot of African-American families that have this story
Restitution for the injustice would be to restore the land or the financial value today of it to the family. The trumped up charges and Mr. Gilbert's death were used to steal his land and that must be corrected! My heart hurts for his family.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Vengeance is mine; I will repay , said the Lord⏪ KJV- scripture, in the Cepher, the scripture reads vengeance is mine; I will repay, said Yahuah◀ The sister in the comment understood it, those on the other side intention are petty⬅
@@blackman3686 Romans 12:19 Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."
I can't help but to cry while seeing this video. It hits home because Troup County is where I was born and lived most of my life. I see a lot of people that I know in this video and this true story is just unbelievably sad.
Over a calf...how meaningless...a man's life, , and all the lives that intertwined...great question...can this all be undone? Can we ever just love one another as God intended...Mattie, I hope you rest with Peg in the land of glory with the Angels...and know that we should never forget these atrocities committed as we seem to have learned nothing in 2021...love thy neighbor, and treat people as you would want to be treated...Amen.
Thanks for providing this information to us all. This is what we all need to know to understand as to why African Americans lag behind so many groups when it comes to wealth. It also helps to inform the medical opinion about collective trauma. I want to know why they didn't offer reparations to this family as everyone knows who the family members are.
It’s sad today that young black people are killing each other instead of loving one another. With what our great grandparents and great, great grandparents went through you would think we would want to be more supportive of one another.
I served this country during the Gulf war. My dad served during the Vietnam war and my grandfather served during WW 2. My dad was not given any help from the VA. My grandfather was put along with all of the black soldiers in an open rail car while the white soldiers they captured were placed in enclosed rail cars. He too was not given any help. The sad part is they fought for rights we can't fully enjoy right now in 2022.
@Fleezus 076 What has happened to AAs and others of African heritage around the globe is part of the same thing only with different s.l.a.v.e.m.a.s.t.e.r.s. We all demonstrated for George Floyd. No one said ''oh, he's just an African American''.
My heart goes out to the Gilbert family... The Lord Jesus Christ will compensate them... And to those who had a hand into this whole scandal in the murder of Henry Gilbert... Their day of Justice will come when they stand before Jesus Christ at their judgment... And they would say Lord have Henry dip his finger into water so it may cool my tongue...
I love your statement glory to God my name is Tameria Diane Jones and I have a situation that I need you to pray about and I need prayer that God would send his Archangels to bring back me and my mother's belongings that we had back at our old place at the Donna's apartments in downtown Los Angeles, CA 90007 Apt. 2 1/2 or where ever that stuff is that God will bring it back to us.
As a Roman Catholic I must school you; there is a process to sainthood: Step I: Servant of God After a holy man or woman dies, five years must elapse before their cause can be considered. This allows for objectivity and ensures that they have an enduring reputation for sanctity. This five-year waiting period can be waived by the pope. When five years have lapsed, the bishop can officially open the cause, with the approval of the Holy See, and the person is declared a “Servant of God.” Step II: Venerable The bishop then forms a diocesan tribunal to investigate the life and virtues of the potential saint-or the details of the martyrdom if he is a martyr. The results of this investigation are sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome. Upon a favorable review of the cause, the Prefect of the Congregation presents the results to the pope, who then declares the person “Venerable.” Fun Fact: If a saint died a martyr, he is declared Blessed rather than Venerable at this stage and gets to skip straight to Step IV! Step III: Blessed In order for a Venerable to graduate to Blessed, a miracle must be attributed to his intercession. Once this miracle has been rigorously investigated and verified, the pope beatifies the Venerable and grants him limited public veneration, usually just in the diocese or religious order to which he belonged. As mentioned above, no miracle is necessary for Step IV: Saint One more miracle is required for canonization, both for martyrs and non-martyrs. With the investigation and verification of this final miracle, the pope is able to canonize the saint, who is granted universal public veneration in the Church. We (the Roman Catholic Church) is the ONLY Church that can declare someone a Saint
