I lost it when Jackson felt the pain of his ancestors. . Great job Ellises on showing and educating your sons on their history. Its commendable.
Me too!!!!!
Me too. That broke my heart.😢
Me too
Me too! They're good parents.
I cried like a baby
Cairo offering comfort to his brother is heartwarming. Amazing to watch you help these young men identify and express their emotions. That makes all the difference ❤
Jackson is soo compassionate. Just love that lil guy. You can tell that he's taking it all in, and as long as our kids do that, it will keep history from repeating itself.
Thank you for not editing Jackson's emotions out. Soon there will be a generation of children born who won't know the grandparents who lived through a portion of segregation in United States. As we know many states around the U.S are trying to remove the teaching of African American History. What you guys captured in your trip while in Birmingham is an example of how and why it should be taught.
Couldn’t have said it better. They want to erase all the wrong they have done. That’s why we have to teach our children ourselves. And thank God for the internet. They can’t erase nothing from there.
YES!!!!!
When Jackson broke down, I lost it! My parents and grandparents are from Montgomery and Birmingham, and they participated in the Civil Rights Movement and experienced hell!
Me too.
Yes our people have been thru so but we are still here to keep making the changes. God gave them what it took to get thru it and we can do even more 🙏🏽.
ME TOO
Me 2😢
OMG, so did I!
Jackson has such a big heart and I love that. He broke me down.
Same here 😢😢
Omg I cried so hard a cleansing
Jackson is something special. I remember he cried like that when his parents first told him and his cousin what slavery was. Jackson sobbed and sobbed at the shock and horror of it all. He’s beautiful.
New too. He felt the pain of his ancestors. ❤️🩹
I love Jackson's compassion and sensitivity. I was crying with him. ♥️
Me too
Me to 🖤✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
Jackson is such an empath 🥺❤ he can feel all things. What a gentle soul! I can only imagine how that must’ve been to see those things in person & to hear the back stories.
Damn....Jackson broke me and had me in full out tears. I'm 2mos shy of 50 and our history still makes me emotional so I get it whole heartedly.
I am a young black woman and proud to be so. Watching this episode and seeing Jackson's heart made me appreciate even more my heritage and the things my grandparents and parents went through. Thanks for sharing with the boys at a young age just how powerful they already are.
I’m at work crying with Jackson, thanks 😂.
I love how you guys always take it home to Brooklyn. “That food SLAPPED!”
Jackson is something special. Love to see him display emotion and how compassionate your boys are. ❤️
Jackson made me cry, I noticed it’s not the first time he cried regarding this subject. He may have a calling on his life.
Same!! 🥹
same
I just wanna say this was amazing. Always love seeing y’all create memories with the boys but most of all teaching them along the way. They will grow to be amazing men. Now Jackson of course got me to cry. I like that he’s in tune with his feelings and emotions. Now Devale you know Jackson expects to be great at it all, he’s an Ellis.
Jackson is brilliant in intelligence and in emotion. His parents said he scores in the top top percentile at school in intelligence and he’s also sharply aware of his own emotions, of the emotion of the room, and he understands and feels words and hypothetical circumstances deeply. It will be a blessing to see where this takes him. Jackson is a gift.
Beautiful, my heart felt Jackson when he broke down. I love how his dad told him it was okay to cry.❤️
I honestly love how they parent their kids and the way they communicate to them and tell them through their feelings it’s so beautiful to see.I needed this growing up.
I was good until Jackson cried. It hits differently seeing it through his eyes ❤
Omg! Im from Birmingham Al and I walked thru that museum for school when I was attending UAB. When Jackson cried I literally lost it. He is so wise and understanding and I absolutely LOVE the way you parent those boys and they will never forget these memories and it will make them even wiser and stronger!!!❤️❤️❤️
I knew of a Peaches that was a HAIR stylist for a long time . I ALSO HAVE RELATIVES THAT STILL RESIDE THERE AND THE UAB HOSPITAL.nd school are TOP TIER. Way To Go BHM
Way to GO HISTORIC BHM
Omg... Jackson made me tear up! wow... I'm so glad they're growing in an environment to be vulnerable and show their emotions.
This was beautiful. When your baby can feel and have a real sense of empathy for the ancestors. Great experience and exposure. All the boys seemed to learn from this experience. Great job parents!!!
Jackson had me crying too. This is amazing. I learned some new things watching this
I cried when Jackson cried. Our History was no joke.
Thank you! I'm from Birmingham and you guys documented these historical locations perfectly. I was brought to tears when your son cried at the thought of his grandparents going through segregation. Your family is so adorable. Thank you for sharing🥰🥰
Jackson is such a phenomenal young man. His heart is so full of love. Everytime I see him cry and Devale gives him that dad love I just lose it🥹🥹🥹
Thanks for sharing your family vacation in my place of birth. Birmingham has such a rich history and its people changed the world. To think that Angela Davis and Condoleezza Rice could both be from Birmingham with such different views tells you about the complexities of our people. You're raising future leaders.
I think it's safe to say Jackson have everyone who watch this Birmingham vacation in tears because we see he gets it at a early age most kids would look over this but it's obvious his parents are doing a great job in teaching them about there race ..great job he's gonna be a great husband and dad to his future wife
Jackson is such an aware and sweet boy. They are raising Kings.
As an Alabaman who resided in Birmingham for years, I love this. Thank you for teaching the boys this, allowing them space for emotions and showing them how far we have come. Y'all are already my favorites. This only adds to it.
Jackson made me tear up. My 10 year old son is a lot like him. Great to see young boys being encouraged to be honest about their emotions, especially from their fathers.
Thank You for sharing your family with me. I just cried when Jackson broke down because of our History. He gets it. We lived it. I was apart of it. So special to see in this Black History month 2023.
Bless you for sharing this with your children and us by extension. This was deep! Jackson gave life to how overwhelmed all of us were feeling. It was good to see a young man as your guide at that time also. Even though you can afford to give those boys everything, these living lessons are priceless. Great job Devale and Kaye. Now I'm looking forward to a summer vacation series 😂.
I broke down right along with Jackson 😢 He’s such a loving child.
being from Birmingham I swear you see it differently from when people visit but with the Ellis they actually took there time and really seen things .
Ellises, thank you guys for visiting our Alabama and our city. Thanks for during the month of February highlighting the past and present struggles not only of Birmingham; Alabama, the south, but our country and how it still impacts and invokes pain today, as evident in Jackson as he begin to understand and navigate the world as a young Black Man in America. You guys are a great representation of what families can be; we love watching the entire 6pk - please, more content.
This was AMAZING! This is what it had come down to, us teaching our children our history because they are trying to erase us as if it never happened. Jackson feeling what his ancestors felt was beautiful. It shows that at his early age, he had empathy and compassion. Something most young people do not have today. Great vacation.
Wonderful video, excellent, great family, love you
Thank you Ellis family for visiting and sharing Birmingham.
Jacks breaking down 😭😭 made me cry too
Jacksons reaction broke my heart. It’s definitely hard to show those hard truths to our children but it’s necessary they know the struggles and accomplishments of African Americans.
Lord when Jax broke down i broke down! This history lesson is so important for us, this is why we can’t let them remove this from our schools.
Amen, but they don't won't white kids to be touched by this history like Jackson was, really!
I LOVE THIS! You guys are doing an amazing job. This is so beautiful. I still have the same feelings as Jackson whenever I see or think about what our ancestors had to go through. We've come so far but still have so far to go. ❤🙏🏿
My dad grew up in Mississippi and experienced a lot as well. He didn't go back till he was well into his 50's
Jackson's HEART. Amen.
I think we all cried with Jackson.
Dang, now why I had to cry.. Jackson understands! This was so good.Way to go, Ellises!🥲
This is just so beautiful! What a great way to teach your children. I can’t say it enough, I love this family!❤
You guys are wonderful and that sweet empathic Jackson is such a sweet sensitive soul. Sending so much love and light to your family!!
Khadeen and Devale- thank you for sharing this with us all. So proud of how far you guys have come and this is a wonderful example of how we honor all those who paved the way for us. I pray God keeps blessing you and your family. Jackson's pure reaction melted my heart. We do it all for these precious babies...so they understand how much it took to get to where we are today. There is still work to be done but we have come so far. I also pray that your boys and all future generations never lose sight of that. What a wonderful opportunity to visit such a historic city. We love y'all! ❤️
Thank you for visiting our city and discovering and teaching our young people the importance of history and struggles for human dignity! Please come back again!❤🙏
Jackson is a special young man. He realized the importance of what he was learning about history. He is very smart and sensitive.
Amazing Ellis family. Love how in addition to the fun, you are also teaching your boys. One love guys. All the best.
History is our story of resilience. We must not allow it to repeat itself. Take advantage of every good opportunity to make yourself better. It will propel you forward and you can then appreciate our ancestors' sacrifices. I love Jackson's sensitivity. Great series!
Much love family... Birmingham totally appreciates the love from you all... 💪🏽💯
This how a great dad talk to his kids,👏🏿👏🏿so many dad can learn from you.
Thank you for visiting my home.. Birmingham,AL. There are so many beautiful aspects of this city. However, it is important, especially now as some people want to skip over a large portion of black history as it relates to what occurred in America, to teach our children history as we teach them to excel in the present and the future. I love your family values and pray continuous blessings as you display the importance of family! This episode was enjoyable to watch🖤🤎❤🤎🖤
Love that y’all expose the children to history!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
We need more kids like Jackson to see and feel the pain of ancestors. Our future is bright
I was born in 1963 in Birmingham and seeing this video bought back memories of my childhood. My city has come a long way since then and advanced the world. I no longer live there but I just visited Bham this past weekend for a family funeral. Thank you Ellises for the wonderful video.
I'm glad you guys came to visit my beautiful city. I came back home to Birmingham after my military retirement. One thing they didn't tell you guys is that Rickwood Field was where the black high schools played their city championship back during that time as well. It was a big event every year due to the segregation of the city. We've come a long way. Thank y'all for showing what our city has to offer. "MAGIC CITY"
The crying from Jackson had me sobbing and when little man gave his brother confort was touching love you guy ❤
I just love the Ellis Family and I absolutely love this!!!!!!!!!!!!! May the Good Lord continue to keep, protects, and BLESS this Beautiful family.
Thank you Ellis family for this upload. Just beautiful! Jackson you keep that beautiful heart of yours 🥰
When Jackson could understand and feel what it meant for his grandparents and ancestors...control your feelings went out the wimdow!😭😭 It was beautiful to see! Awesome parenting moment. I LOVE IT!
I cried with Jackson,he's a very special kid please Kay look over with with care. GOD bless you all

I’m from Birmingham born & raised & still living in it seeing the Ellises learning & exploring the history of my city as well as what it has to offer the tourists that comes to visit makes me even prouder y’all come back & visit again ya heard me!✊🏾💪🏾💯
I cant even put in words how amazing this entire family is, the moment with Jackson & Devale 😢 I losttt it.
What a moment when Jackson took it all in and began to cry 😢 My heart broke to see a child realize the pain our parents and parents - parents lived through and still fight for in this time. Thank you for sharing!!
My heart sees Jackson's heart. This country's history and ongoing inequality is very hard to digest. 🫶🏽 Y'ALL
I sobbed watching that beautiful boy come to the realization what his history was. Great family
You are great parents for your kids ❤️ 👏 I love it. Love you guys🥹💜
Jackson stole my heart a long time ago. I cried with him, so I guess he still has it. Your soul is beautiful nephew
I love their parenting style!
Jackson got it! That touched my heart! Because of his heart, he just may have the heart of a lawyer, judge, someone great!🙏💜🙋
I lost it when Jackson start crying.
Born in 60's and hearing stories from my parents.
Believe me it's hard to keep from crying.
Vacation your son's will never forget.
BEAUTIFUL FAMILY 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Awe...This brought me to tears when Jackson started to cry🥺😥😢
I just watch this video as I'm having a "The Ellisses" binge watching today.
Goodness, first I'm 21 yrs" older than Khadeen & Devale.
Jackson had me 😢😢😢 crying during this seen.
God bless y'all & keep doing what you doing!
Truly appreciate you sharing this historical family vacation. Very touching to see the parents with their beautiful children as they experience and learn so much important Black history. ❤❤❤
I’m so proud to watch this series! Award winning programming FOR SURE! I love this lens you’re allowing us to view!
My city of Birmiingham getting recognition. Thanks for shouting out our history and role in the movement. You are raising a fine young man. Come back again!
Aaahhh Jackson got me! He’s a special youngman. Very thoughtful❤️
Out of all your family vacations y'all have taken us on this is my favorite, because you're teaching the boys about our history and what our ancestors went through for our freedom. When Jackson broke down 😭...Thank you DeVale and Khadeen 🥰🥰
I'm so glad u had a chance to visit our state. I was born and raised right here in Birmingham,Alabama thank u for showcasing our City. Because it is a beautiful place to travel to with ur family and friends.
Tell Jackson we love him so much! I love the Ellis'!
I live in Birmingham, so this was so refreshing to see! Thanks for visiting. I am glad your family had fun educating your kids. I also wanted to say, I admire how you all parent your boys, and how every moment is a teachable moment! I love how you stress to them to acknowledge their emotions. This will create stronger men that’s not broken and bitter. Despite your busy schedules you still make time for family and creating memories. Keep striving and breaking those barriers!
Raising compassionate, respectful, caring and giving young men IS their loving mission.
Jackson stop making me cry! Your such a great kid! AMAZING 🥰
You all have no idea how necessary you are! It simply delights my heart to see you all embody the qualities needed to build a strong successful family. My heart just melted when Jackson cried and it let me know none of what you're doing is in vain. I love you guys!! ❤❤
Yo Jackson brought tears to my eyes. We don't think about what our ancestors did for US to live as we do now and if EVERYONE took out a few mins a day and appreciated what they went through baby this crazy world would be a better place
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt family memories.
Your children were so engaged, they were having fun and learning all at the same time. I love that💖.
Thank you for sharing your family with all of us! I❤😊
Awesome Ellis Family !!! I've educated my boys the same way here in Atlanta, by taking them to the King's Center. It was very emotional for my oldest as well. It was very humbling.
First time seeing this, that baby tore me up. So compassionate about the things his grandparents had to endure. God bless.
Wonderful Family! Hope you enjoyed our city of Birmingham and it's History. Come back anytime!
Thank you for visiting our city! So love the Ellises!!
So so proud to you guys as a young couple to set this good example of what it means to have kids and actually teach them history!, god bless you guys🙏🏽🖤🥰🙂
I'm 62 years old and can remember driving from NC to NY in the summer and having to pack all the food we would eat because there may not be a place that would serve us if we stopped. This was back in the mid to late 60s so I felt Jackson's pain and am in awe of his empathy at such a young age.
My family is from Alabama and I would return to Birmingham to visit my grandparents often. The first time I visited the Civil Rights Museum, I cried my eyes out. My grandparents and some of my aunts and uncles lived through segregation. One of my aunts knew two of the little girls who died in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. It's a museum everyone should visit.
Also, I saw Michael Jordan play for the Birmingham Barons when he "retired" from Basketball and went to the MLB, lol.
Very precious. Made me cry😢.
So glad to have your beautiful family in Alabama! Come back soon.
