America owe its Black Americans a great deal!❤
Too bad for us everything gets burried
Roland, thank you for sharing this historic and heartbreaking event.
I'm watching this from the UK, so full of anger, 13 men murdered, and it's taken 106 years to right the wrong. 😢😢😢😢😢😢. I hope their spirits/souls are all finally at peace.
19 was executed also from the ARMY and 100 or more jailed
I hope so too my fellow human.
Nineteen altogether. 13 the first time and then another 6 were convicted within 50 days.
In the first military trial, held in November 1917, 63 soldiers were tried and 54 were convicted on all charges. At sentencing, 13 were sentenced to death and 43 received life imprisonment. The 13 condemned soldiers were denied any right to appeal and were hanged on December 11, 1917.
The second and third trials resulted in death sentences for an additional 16 soldiers; however, those men were given the opportunity to appeal, largely due to negative public reactions to the first 13 unlawful executions. President Woodrow Wilson ultimately commuted the death sentences for 10 of the remaining soldiers facing death, but the remaining six were hanged. In total, the Houston unrest resulted in the executions of 19 Black soldiers.
@jpaultelchannel1702 Thank you for the information.
Martin Luther King Jr., used the phrase in the form "JUSTICE too long delayed is JUSTICE DENIED" in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" Thank you to those once forgotten
Yep....Those words ring true.
I saw the movie " The 24th" a while ago and this history is very sad but very important. Those men have long been deserving of honor and the clearing of their names. Thank you for sharing this!
There is so much injustices to black Americans particularly those who served in an army that hate the idea of them serving. Their blood cried out for justice.
Their honor restored and recognized, what an extraordinary event ❤️On another note I have NEVER heard a person of European descent sing the Black National Anthem before. This ceremony was truly historic.
Thank you Mr. Roland Martin for streaming this entire program. How honored I am to finally witness justice for these innocent men by our government. I really appreciate this program. This is history.
Thank you for streaming this historic event.
Mr. Martin,
Your reporting of historical current and ssues and events that directly and indirectly affect African Americans is greatly appreciated.
So great seeing General Brooks in the audience, I’ll forever be grateful for his leadership and mentorship.
Wow, another shameful historical event that I never knew took place until today. I am sure there are countless other wrongs that need to be made right.
They will want to remove this from American History soon😤
Very sad story. There is a movie about it called the 24th, I watched a few years ago . I think it's still on Amazon
Thank you for this great historical Memorial❤
Again, it has taken this country too long to do whats right.
Of course there needs to be restitution and reparations. Wrongful death lawsuits
Congratulations Brother soldier
Can they honorably discharge them from their deaths??? I mean...
Doesn't do much for those executed for defending themselves.
Perhaps they have descendants in the audience.It’s for the families as well 🧐🧐
Right?
This is totally awesome. These Veterans are long due the bravery and correction for their service in the yet to be USA.
I hear so many last family names that I'm now intrigued to look into. Blacks familys lost many loved in such tragic situations as these with no investigation unless an interest is made. Thank you for sharing...
Thank you, Roland, for what you do to keep us informed. If you weren't in this position, this would not be known. There is so much to say, but this is not the platform. This is great this has happened, but America has shed so much black blood, and it continues to shed so much black blood😢
Thankyou Roland for posting this ceremony...so happy to see this correction of history being made to honour the lives of those soldiers who fought for our country and then were so terribly wronged instead of listened to!!....please everyone ," unite" and 🗳....vote blue for you and your family and your friends and your country and for democracy and the constitution 💙 we do not want fascist/authoritarian/dictator/totalitarian rulers in the USA!! Vote in every election, local, state, county, schoolboard..we do not want another violent jan6th to takeover our country's government ..vote blue 💙 vote blue 💙 vote blue 💙 vote blue 💙 vote blue 💙
Biden needs helpers to fight for us!! 🎉 💙🎉 💙🎉
Biden need to stop sending our tax money to Ukraine and Israel.Our own people need help.I’m not voting republican I’m just saying
THANK YOU, MR. ROLAND MARTIN FOR SHARING THIS EVENT WITH THE REST OF US!...I HAD A AN UNCLE THAT SERVED AS A LT. COL. IN THE U.S. ARMY. AN COUSIN THAT RECENTLY RETIRED FROM THE U.S. ARMY AFTER ABOUT 28 YEARS OF SERVICE!...I ALSO HAD A FEMALE MEMBER OF MY CHURCH THAT WENT INTO THE U.S. ARMY AND RETIRED AS A MAJOR!...I LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE!
MY FATHER SERVED THE U.S. NAVY DURING THE KOREAN WAR, MY STEP FATHER SERVED IN THE U.S. MARINE CORE AND I SERVED BOTH IN THE U.S. AIR FORCE AS A VIETNAM ERA VET AND THE U.S. AIR FORCE RESERVES IN THE 70'S AND 80'S!
HAPPY BELATED VETERAN'S DAY TO ALL THOSE WHO SERVED AND ARE CURRENTLY SERVING IN ALL 6 BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY!
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND GOD BLESS AMERICA! 😇 🇺🇲 ❤
BTW!...VETERAN'S DAY WAS ALSO MY BIRTHDAY TURNING 70 YEARS YOUNG!
Why isn’t this National and international news?😢❤
GLORY TO GOD!
AMEN 🙏. AMEN 🙏. & AMEN 🙏.
I was denied my enlistment bonus and E-4 after working hard in the Navy through AECF Navy Electronics program, so I was forced to take the exam and get frocked as opposed to advanced after training like my white classmates were!
My Dad died while serving and the command refused to allow me to attend the funeral service that Red Cross attempted to facilitate.
Had to suffer through MST at 18 yrs old and got kicked for having the experience that was no fault of mine.
I could write a book about my experience
A mighty long time
Excellent work Roland and to your team too.
A long time overdue.🤬
That's not just true, it's a (proven) fact.
Reparations to the descendants that were never given and not just more symbolisms for the mistreated, etc., for the most patriotic that are long dead and gone. They aren't physically here nor their "spirit/ghost" isn't here to receive their long overdue reparations and anything else they rightfully deserved.
So on their behalf, we, the descendants of the slaughtered, "graped"/xxxually coerced, displaced, kidnapped and enslaved/chattel slavery, including of those said once Africans and were also indigenous/native to these lands (before European invasions/colonialisms) do want, deserve and accept cash installments for generations of unpaid reparations.
All those acts of inhumanity, violence towards then, and still the most hatred, were sponsored by and endorsed by the so-call God fearing, manifest destiny, still stolen, European labeled, The United States of [Hypocrisy, the latest most proficient terrorist organization] America.
Gawd, Gawd, Gawd...
Yet in the riot of Jan.6, not a bullet was fired, not a dog was released, nor a waterhose was used. Save for the one shot fired upon an emboldened woman who overstepped her boundaries.
~ and our savior was persecuted betwixt a liar & a thief.
Thank you
Another example of why the United States needs to Cut the check for REPARATIONS.
Amen!!!
Thanks for your coverage 😊
OVER 100 YEARS LATER!!! WTF?! THIS IS SICK! THAT IT TOOK THIS LONG BEFORE ANYONE THOUGHT TO DO THIS. IT IS 2023!! Sick
RIP soilders of the 324 happy veterans day and thank you for your service
Thank you at last❤❤❤
Truth and justice will always prevail and lead the way ; over injustice. I Kevin Q. Mikell am honored to have been a part of this fantastic Movie called the 24th directed by the magnificent director and producer Kevin Wilmott, actor trey byers and many more fabulous people...... God bless truth and justice...
Smh omg this is so sad and it's still on-going 😢 GET UP STAND UP ✊🏾
Oved every bit of this, thank you💟
Truly Sad; Praise God for justice delayed!!!🥰😍🥰

Still a mighty long way to go!
😢
I have watched this video twice.
History ,
❤❤❤ yaaaaaaaaaas
Cheers
🙏🏿💪🏿🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 to all those families members keep them in memory
19:10 Note how he says "the end of the CivilWar", yet says nothing about the Emancipation of the enslaved, held in bondage for 247yrs...
A little late but still good to know 😮
Righting this wrong has been a long time coming. God may not act when these crimes were committed but make no mistake God always act in the time suitable to the Most High. God be praised. We salute all those who made this happen with God leading the way. 📢 Shout it out to let the world know their labourer were not in vain. Amen.
Military still actin silly and treating blacks poorly. This apology or whatever it is means nothing.
You are Wrong,malcolm..
This apology and the restitution for those families, means that they are finally listening to those families and history tomorrow will be better than the past...we must keep moving forward...open your heart to the good being done , join a group that is pressing ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO STANDVUP FOR ALL PEOPLE.. that is the key to change..not continued hatred( like Trump and republi-cons) please be on the side of peace and justice for all..and for injustices of the past to continue to be corrected...God Bless ❤
THE INJUSTICES FROM THE USA JUST "MAKES ME WANNA HOLLER"
FBAL Military, Stand Down. Keep your fbal boots on this U S Mainland, ONLY!
I Am A Man on Tubi
I just watched this movie earlier this week about this incident.
Redemption….100 years later Change I inevitable
...LOOK! who the coward-as- military selects to address the apology, a ALL BLACK STAFF! this is a sign to show the world what cowards the american government is. they can't bear to show their faces WHICH WILL SHOW THEIR GUILT...
RIP in black kings
I see the regalia worn by those in attendance especially Buffalo Soldier
Why did it take so long for this story to come out
MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT THAT YOUNG BROTHER WHO RAN INTO NORTH KOREA WAS GOING THRU, WHAT DID HE FACED THAT MADE HIM DO THAT DESPERATE ACT !!🕷🤔
I read that he was involved in a fist fight started by the other party in a night club. But being a soldier, black and a foreigner, the local police will arrest you and you'll be convicted. There are so many of those racist encounters on CZcams that it blows your mind.
1917 !!!!???
That baby can sangggggg
Are those Black soldiers alive? Will their families be compensated?
Republicans call this woke.
Who cares about their opinions?
Buffalo soldier, Bob marley recognized as the brave soldiers. Peace
Long overdue 😐
Whoopee. Let's just be honest...... it's too damn late. And plaques, certificates, monuments and late apologies are really just a damn slap in the face when you consider how it was then and where it currently stands now.....still knee deep in BS.
Their families will receive the military benefits that they are due. Should they not receive them at all and why do think that you should speak on it? You didn't do the suffering and you aren't a spokesman for this family. Too many people in America think that all of their opinions are worth sharing and don't know the value of keeping quiet when they don't add anything to the situation. Let's be totally honest.... you don't know what you're talking about and you are not fit or qualified for this fight. Until you've walked a block in this Black family's shoes be quiet.
ahh the symbolism is so special, how about reperations?
1917 😮🤩🥴
I’m happy they got justice and all but that’s 100 years too late. America has so much to repay Black people for and they’re constantly playing with our a emotions. They know what we want. They know what we need a shit ton of money and land they can send it to Ukraine and Israel all that crap about breaking the bank is over. Also, what about all of the backpay to the families of those soldiers
GOD bless U.S. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Go ARMY!👍👍👍👍. Rectification.👏👏👏👏 Innocent, brave, African American soldiers in 1917 riot.
African American soldiers' made and make the U.S. forces great.
African American "reparations" ....
😂 Praise God ❤ justice is served 😅😅😅😅😅 prayers for their family God is GOOD. Amen in the name of Jesus 😂😂😂😂❤.
Praise God? God had nothing to do with hatred.
James 1:13
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
@@AJ-sr3hl You don't even know what I mean by what I said but maybe one day you will. God bless you 🙏.
This might helps to get the willingness of American Africans to be recruited in the American army.
stroger 'hobuposoteem neko badu yeyill qua qua'
As though anyone is this country cares.
This is very good, long long overdue but the country needs to really deal with today properly and justice in America and abroad. The country is still very unjust to the majority of all colors.
All "colors" were not held in bondage never to be released but, to go extinct.
Is the general an african?
☝️🤨🎓THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR THEIR OWN ENSLAVEMENT.SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.☝️🤨🎓 WHAT GOOD IS THIS NOW?🇲🇦⚖️
I can no longer watch this BS.
I had to leave at 20:35
I have watch this video twice to honor the black soldiers. Your presence is not gone.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Romans 2:11
For God does not show favoritism.
Leviticus 19:15
“You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.
Can’t blame you
