Outstanding legacy that all students, especially Black students, should know about.

We need more of the photos of these heros instead of people doing selfies!

Notice the census. Virginia was listed as B for black, but the narrator spoke she was a full blood cherokee. The census workers wrote down what THEY believed they saw. Believe your family when they tell you who you are.

Informative and inspiring. I will try to share this video with others.

I’ve been learning more and more about Black Legends throughout history recently that I had never heard of before. It’s sad that the schools reduce Black historical figures to the same handful of ppl every year.. & now certain states don’t even want to teach about those or that slavery and the events that followed for Black America ever even happened. This stuff is so important and it’s unfortunate that some ppl, including ppl in power, feel otherwise.

What A Amazing Godwoman who impacted even White people with her determination, and dedication to our African community. She was a visionary and path finder. The Enlighten Ancestors got you now, until your return. Thank you.

What a brilliant woman.What a legacy she left through many physical and social struggles.God rest her soul in peace.

The world gets better each time a special person like Ms Wright is lifted up and opened to us all.

Beautiful documentary! I remember speaking with Mr Reid years ago when he was doing research. I attended Voorhees right out of High School but it wasn't until now that I fully understood what it meant to attend this prestigious School. I feel honored and blessed!💙🤍

I appreciate learning about this amazing woman who has positively impacted the lives of so many people for years to come!

Thanks for sharing the positive thoughts about Voorhees and the Pre Alumni Council. Keep staying involved and enjoy your college years. You sound like a strong and influential leader!

Incredible woman!! Thanks for sharing

I'm so impressed this woman was incredible...❤❤

I never heard of this remarkable woman. Thank you for this documentary.

Amazing woman lived a short and purposeful LlFE

Thank you for this documentary about an awesome woman whose vision, determination and her strategic fundraising expertise to create this university from its infancy to become her living legacy for education in the African American community. I was especially amazed at her board of directors whose consistent financial support exists today. May God continue to bless her legacy to education for our people.

AMAZING story! Who knew!!! 😊

Thank you for sharing this fascinating documentary about such an inspiring Black woman!

I'm confused her father had 2 wife's legally huh?

I don't think anyone is confused about who the devil's spawns are. APTTMH for exacting His wrath upon them.

Wow, this is amazing history why can’t this be taught in schools as well as the murdering and brutality but yes, it’s always beautiful uplifting stories so why can’t this be told in school as well as the slavery stories? Tell it all what amazing woman.

WHY IZ IT CALLED VOORHESE?

Thank you 🙏🏽 for share this amazing story ❤

She accomplished a life time of work, for the love of her people selflessly

If it Wasnt 4 Many To Not To Adhere To What People So Silly People Wanted, That Help So Many Future Black American People, That Yall 4 the Sacrifice

Charcoals would of cured her ulcerative stomach

They dont want stories of the positive struggles of african american taught in highschools because it exposes the racist history and present day racism that we as african americans endure.

I don't know how I got on this video but I'm glad I watched it! It's so wonderinful to see how resourceful black Americans have been in pressing forward no matter the barriers! Furthermore, Elizabeth Wright is an amazing role model. I love us. 🥰

What an amazing story of perseverance and dedication.

What an awesome testimony of a great visionary during very difficult times❤

The Wrights were wealthy. The family was instrumental in the founding of Georgia.

Thank you !

It's interesting how Mr Voorhees never wanted to set foot on the college campus yet and still still didn't mind contributing large sums of money, to a place he would never visit. Kind of makes you wonder if maybe underneath everything he might have still been harboring thoughts and issues regarding racism perhaps.

AMAZING

The Voorhees Coronation was what set this school above the rest. I guess this is what is happening now, but I'm not a fan of this kind of coronation. 👎.

Wow!🙌❤

Elizabeth Wright went through so much just to educate children. I'm impressed by her tenacity and willpower.

Awesome sister. RiP. Thank Gid for black people who sincerely love black people. A beacon in darkness. Eternal Life in Yahowashi Hamashiac. RIP.

Most, so-called Black Americans are the true Indigenous Americans Aborigines AKA American Indians... Peace...

This is my first time hearing this important story ❤❤❤

Love this documentary , a successful determined woman , made her path, and wanted a path for other black students, with a lot of obstacles in her way 😊

May Queen Elizabeth Rip 🙌🏾

I am a White Man and this story is very inspiring. What a unselfish, brave and tenacious woman. How people have changed.

Facts and stories that were hidden and not told to keep people down

I am so impressed with how this woman was able to focus through all the difficulties of her time in this country, and in the South, including her personal health issues, to not just support herself, but help generations of young people become educated, to prosper and to pass on her legacy in all of their own works and lives. Imagine having that kind of impact. Amazing! ❤

WHO ARE HER GREAT GRANDKIDS DOES SOMEONE KNOW ???????????????
