- One of the most powerful moments during the Great Depression according to Emory's Associate Professor of African American Studies, Carol Anderson, is the Missouri Sharecroppers Strike of 1939. When the seemingly powerless find and exert their incredible power to create change.
She is a brilliant story teller
I mean Brilliant!
Yes I do agree
@Trecia Excatly, well put
Absolutely. Would love to be in her class.
Absolutely 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️
My mother was born in '44. When I became an adult AND educated myself, I finally understood why she had a chip on her shoulder. And also why she moved us to Hawaii. Thanks mom! R.I.P.
Not a chip but the white man's foot was on her neck ....as the great Malcolm X said
@lifelove6164 yeah Twice as many White sharecroppers and just about as many Whites lynched. Don't be scared of books.
Absolutely go colonize some Pacific Islanders land
I love how she tell the stories with such description. It makes me feel like no details have been left out
Right 😎
This is one of the most interesting professors I've heard
She really adores 📜
She is very Interesting
YESSSSSS ..Carol Anderson is a GEM!
This professor's engaging story telling is beyond captivating!
FACT 💯......
Thank you for sharing our family's unsung hero. Thank you Grandpa Owen Whitfield and Grandma Zella Whitfield for leaving such a great Legacy.
Thankful for ur fmly
Yes this is an amazing story. I'm black and I live in Missouri and have never heard of this it's so crazy that will not talk this in our history books. They don't talk about it in black history month seems our African American history is a little whitewashed leaving out details of important events.
My mom always talked about the Whitfield's, she was a Fleming.
Right on! I am Owen Whitfield's great granddaughter and vice-president of the Whitfield Historical Foundation. We are related...we should meet!
I love hearing about my people, when they organized & stood up to mistreatment 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Me 2
YES!!! SIS. WE HAVE TO CONTINUE!!! THIS FIGHT!!! UNITED STRONG!!!
@Adolf Hitler .Like the one in your Avatar.
Right on sister! More of us need to stand up! The sad part is that for every 1 of us that stands up, we got 20 of us sucking up!! Sad!!. We up people before reality does it for you!
@Adolf Hitler Shavedowns

I know this video is old,but never the less,very powerful.thanks

"common people can do really uncommon things"
Thanks to professor Anderson for a brief and informative description. I have begun reading the first of two books I purchased on Rev. Whitfield he worked with my grandfather in St Louis on a political campaign and rally to address the Howard Lynching. He is one of those men who devoted his life to addressing inequality but sadly is not as well known as others who did less.
May I ask whts the name of the books? I live in St. Louis I've decided to start doing history in my own state it seems like I know more about other states than my own. Crazy

Nothing like faith!
I don’t know you but you are an excellent story teller. Thank you for telling us about us. Blessings
All of these atrocities against us here and abroad is the reason for their declining birthrate.
White people will pay for the atrocities trust it. Karma has a way of correcting things
VERY,VERY, TRUE!!!

Great story teller and story!! Loved this educator and her demonstrative story telling ability! I’ve listen to her over and over! Wish I was in her class!!
I love hearing about any people who will stand up for their rights and organize. We are one world!
I love your delivery of information that could otherwise be forgotten. Thank you!! 💓🤗🙏👑
My great-grandparents and family members were sharecroppers in Georgia and Florida on my mom's side of the family.
I would have loved to see some of the footage she spoke of.
I could listen to this lady all day.
I'm grateful and give high honors to my great granddad Jenkins who worked to grow tobacco. Though this hard time.
Thank you for sharing and informing the public with these truthful stories.
Thank you for this. When grown men cry and shed tears major change happens
She is amazing. I can listen to her everyday
My great grandfather was a tenant farmer in the Bootheel. Similar to a sharecropper, their home was owned by the farmer and their groceries were purchased at his store on credit which was ran by his wife. The farmer's family would pass down their store bought clothes to my cousins. This was as late as the 1970's.
It's important to study so you can know exactly where you came from. Shalum
I love the way she tells it. Had my eyes water up
Thank you for always providing such great information Miss Carol. I read your book White rage and you are amazing.
UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL
I just really love how she tells our story of oppression!
This video helped me out with a college paper that I had to write. Thank you! =)
I watched it while pooing and I think it helped with that too.
This man was/is great grandfather. My grandmother is the youngest of his 12 kids, she was the first black woman to be a licensed physician in cape, mo.

However, Gave them housing only. When they should have kept fighting for the economic inclusion. With money you can build your own house.
People can think better when they are living in a comfortable place. Money will come later. The goverment did not give them anything that they hadn't already earn. They were over due.

"Common people can do really uncommon things."
For context when she's talking about the sharecropper wage being 75 cents for 12+ hour workday in the 1930s - according to the US Department of Labor, the average US wage from 1926-1934 was 43 cents per hour. (Source: babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112032654953&view=1up&seq=934)
thank you.
In honor of my great grandparents, Owen and Zella Whitfield… We’re coming to get all that back! Rest easy ancestors.
Pro.Anderson..you yourself shall make the annals of history!!..and kind words will be attributed to your name!!☺😄
they did not have a street address. They rented in unit numbers.
Wonderful story
This woman makes me want to be knowledgeable
Lord God Almighty in Heaven,I wish that I could get my Grandchildren to sit and listen to your teaching for at least 15 minutes, While to putting social media on hold!I guess I'm just wishful thinking!🤔😔🙏🏾🙏🏾
The Bootheel...where I'm from. Oh, the stories I could tell...😩
When the curses start to switch!!!
Can't wait
Reparations please!!!
See what happens when we organize
She is so amazing.
Love her truth .
Interestingly enough I have a book on the Missouri sharecroppers strike, the conditions they lived in were appalling to say the least. It's too bad you didn't have pictures to show the appalling conditions
Where is the source ao i can read and do research on it website pdf ? Videos
That is POWETFUL
This lecture is inspiring, I would like to know the name of the lecturer because I am interested in your University but need a role model for inspiration.
Her name is Carol Anderson...Chair of African American Studies at Emory University. As someone else stated, she focuses on public policy relating to race, justice and equality.
Tithing Offering and Alms is what those students act in.
It was serfdom, and most in the Western Hemisphere (not to mention the rest of the world, communist or not) were also serfs.
Very Good.. What Now?
My great granddad was a sharecropper in Texas one year he took all the money and moved to California
Throughout history the world has witnessed the true trouble makers, but has been complicit to those being effected. However it's a new season and it's time to pay the piper.
To get the full picture of how bad they had it. You really need to read the book.
And they still think trickle down works the rich people in this country too greedy for that ever to work
My family’s surname is Jacobs and I’m struggling where they originate and from what I have figured out that they were freed slaves before 1865, if I’m wrong help me understand cause the only slave owner with our last name doesn’t list my family members.
The sad part is some of your comments are about how great of a story teller instead of the evil
MO Sharecroppers Strike of 1939
Exemplary documentary. I had an opportunity to visit a few.
Just outside side of Poplar Bluff MO.
I just want to make sure my mother and my son straight , then help the needy.
💯
I love being taught real history. My small white high school never taught this history
Stay organized and fight oppression.
That's right ! God's people's !!!
Cane’t to cane’t LOVE it
Can’t to Can’t. Common people can do really uncommon things..
Has she written any books?
Lynn Rubright wrote a book called "Momma's Window" there is also a film out about the sharecroppers called "O Freedom After All"
My ancestors were Missouri sharecroppers and crazy I’m still poor haha
My grandmother told me she shuck peas for $.25 cent a bushhel.. Crazy...
Why doesn't she have her own TV show?
I'm the sharecropper
Black people have the strongest backbones in the world. From the time slavery was introduced and still today, blacks have not given up. With all kinds of persecution hurled at us still we fight and continually improve our standing in this wicked system. We can thank these and others along this long wicked road who did not give up under any ungodly conditions. One day “The Meek will Inherit the Earth”.
