      I know I couldn’t imagine what he had to go through! When he was free he propably realized how bad we had it during those times.

      Exactly. Our enslaved ancestors did all the damn work so we were more skilled than the lazy enslavers. Not to mention the fact that those that were captured were not deaf, dumb, and blind. They had specialized skills before being stolen and brought here.
      We must take back our pride and stop allowing them to tell us how inferior THEY made us believe we were.

    “And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.”
    ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭28:68‬ ‭KJV
    I strongly recommend that you all read the book of Deuteronomy the whole 28th chapter in the KJV. They people that went to slavery on slave ships are the Israelites. Don’t take my word read it for yourselves. Shalawam (peace)

    This movie was tough to watch. I was thinking? They.m wouldn’t make light or a mockery of slavery in this country.Sure enough-they did. I thought it was even more disturbing to see the white teacher explaining how good the childrens live were during this time period. I was like what??

    I wonder why these people did not learn these skills during slavery and why they did not attend black schools to learn them. Also wonder if this school profited off of the labor from the “training.”

      Brown grew up on St. Simons Island , Georgia . Different state but probably similar to this SC coastal island .

    Am conflicted about this one. On one hand, am happy to see my people "thriving" just 3 generations removed from slavery. On the other hand, I feel very sad [and actually mad as hell] that this even had to happen in the first place. I understand this was the '40s but clearly, the commentators providing the voiceovers could've been a little bit more sensitive.

    All men have troubles of their own,
And burdens great to bear each day,
So keep your tales of woe, and frown
At all the ills that come your way:
You need not harbor sorry pain,
And make the world a living hell;
For there is naught in this to gain;
The wisdom of the age will tell.
    2
The other fellow does not care
A bit, what ails and worries you;
In life he has to pay his fare
In living right as you should do:
He bears his burdens like a man,
And smiles with every wind;
There is a reason why he can
Thus master right his soul and mind.
    3
To conscience go in quiet mood.
And find yourself each morn anew;
Feed thou upon the psychic food
That makes the gods in mortal hue:
This is the way that men are great-
All those who smile with Nature’s laws-
So then, why brood and curse your fate?
Brace up and strike against your flaws
