As a white man I'm ashamed of how Blacks Native Americans and the Jewish people have been treated. I have no tolerance for hatred and racism. There is one race. The human race.

we native americans are peaceful warriors but warriors we are when needed

Jack, thank you for this personal account of the confrontation with KKK in 1958. I remember it well as a boy of 13 years old in Fort Mill, SC. Every newspaper, magazine, radio and television outlet found this event newsworthy. The Lumbee Nation stood out as heroes giving confidence to others to take a stand against the racist, cowardly and inhumane activities this mob inflicted. Still, today we stay on guard...lest we forget.

There’s so much satisfaction in this story I smiled the whole time!

I'm glad I ran across this video. Thank you Mr. Lowery for sharing this story. I'll just add this. The klan went there for action, but they didn't get the kind they expected 😂

Much love and respect to my fellow Indian brothers.

This is really beautiful, inspiring and above all, a lesson for us all to learn from the Lumbee people. Thank you so much!

Attorney Jack Lowery describes this event in the most succinct narrative that I have ever heard! Thank you, sir, for sharing your personal account of that frightening night.

Love to hear the Klan getting a beat down! Great job Lumbee people.

Hats off to you sir, and all your people!

To think it's 2020 and there are millions in this country who still believe this is okay!😳

I am a son of a Lumbee from St. Pauls . I did not grow up there but I do remember as a child about Hayes Pond and several other events. I also remember the KKK in Greensboro and the shootings we saw on TV. I remember a number of visits for family get togethers in St. Pauls where a lot of conversation was about how they were treated and very little had changed. What my father did will alway be in my mind and his advice after these visits. He would gather us up and tell everyone we were leaving. We would say you could stay here and complain or leave for something better. Never forget who you are but hate and that is where you will stay. Mr. Lowery never for got who he is but his college degree has served him well. Yes use these lessons to show where we were and how far we have come.. I cannot help believe used in political today, divide more than they unite. There will come a point when the past will not let you into the future. I am proud of who I am and thankful for the opportunity this country has given me

It's great to hear stories of heroes who stood up against racism you are appreciated.

“It made us tough”

I wish my lumbee buddy was here to watch this with me RIP papa smallwood

Maxton!My grandfather,John Brown's,home town....Great recollection,Sir

I worked at a college as a advisor for the native American club we took the kids to the gatherings of Nations in Albuquerque, New Mexico it was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had such beautiful culture! I never realize how many different tribes there are. I live up by a reservation and that's one thing I will say don't mess with the Native Americans because they will fight! God bless all Humanity! Love the story thank you Sr. for sharing it!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

As a native Tejano visiting NC/SC I met a few of my Lumberton sisters at a restaurant near Fayetteville, and they saw me as a lumbee member so awesome. we are so close but yet so far, but we are not going anywhere ancestors

Thank you for this video. Thank you to the Lumbee People. I'm an anthropologist with a love of Native American Culture and History and was unaware of this incident and found out about it with another video and this one was even better.

Cree Native American. Fighting since 1971 for equality and love for all mankind. Much Love.

As a Lumbee indian related to Henry b. Lowery..his story and this story is very satisfying

Thank you yah for this strong man and his people.

Thank y’all much for putting this out ❤️❤️❤️

I can tell Jack Lowery is a great guy. I would love to meet him. I know that Community Pembroke from the late 80's. My Navajo brother and I would travel from the 82nd to party there with the Lumbees ..we had many friends. Great communities great memories

Jack Lowery is a legend!

Loved the story

Native Americans my heros.

My great grandfathers were Lumbee and it shows in my dna. I am so proud because they fought in the War of 1812 and the Revolutionary War. Isham Locust and Ishmael Robert's. God bless them and you for telling this story.

Had no idea natives where given their own separate facilities as well, i thought it was just “white” and “colored” fascinating

Wow! What a story loved it.

A very important part of history.

oh yes. my uncle had to be vouched for by my dad that he was swedish. dad was norweigan and my uncle ted was chippewa. both were good baseball players. fortunately he was able to drink in the bars with my dad after the games. we are the forgotten race that face racism. it is not just black and white

I never heard of this story, however considering the times we are in now, I find this refreshing. The rest of us can learn something useful about self respect from this. Much love for the Lumbees, although I have just now become aware of their existence.

In the spirit of Henry Lowery who resisted the Confederacy for the Lumbee people and was made outlaw by North Carolina for resisting the nightriders who wanted to put the Lumbee in their place after the civil war

Love it when Jack Lowery shares his stories!

The late Malvina Reynolds wrote a song about the Lumbee/Klan Maxton 'battle'....It can be found here on youtube by searching 'Maxton' battle..

Amen brother!

Thank you for sharing.

Now these are the Americans we used to be proud of..

God bless the lumbee

I love this story so much, I had not heard of this until right this moment and I'm 55 years old, this would make such a great movie.

Nice!!! Story.. God Bless you ❤

we are still proud of our lumbee relatives. thank you sir for this old war story. all my relations

I know those towns. A place called Roland,NC is close to Maxton,NC,Red SpringsNC,Laurinburg,NC Its nice there.

Much respect to the Natives. Good show.

my great uncle buck was a part of this

Amazing story just amazing...hats off to you and your people for making a stand my brother.. just amazing my brother

I'm very proud of the Lumbee as well. This is a great video.

My family come from the TAINOS...we too, had a taste of racism....I can't even imagine what you went through.. God bless you all

through these hard time I miss Robeson county shout out to the Lumbee's #BLM

Great guy!

I'm not native but much love to my lumbee brothers and sisters.

My parents used to tell me about this event and how they where involved in running these guys off.

My family was apart of this

💪🏾✊🏽

This is a wonderful bit of history.

I am so glad to hear about this historical event in detail. Thank you.

Awesome story 👍

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾

God Bless you Sir. Thank you for sharing this story, I greatly appreciate it. It's informative and inspiring, and I want my grandchildren to know what real history sounds like, because that's what children form my days did not get. Please keep on telling these wonderful and inspiring stories. Much Love to you and all Native Americans.

Now THIS is how history should be taught! Real people, real story and real perspectives shared among intelligent minds.

Thank you so much sir, for standing up to the ignorance of the time,and coming out victorious....I too take my hat off to you, peace and blessings to you....👍👍👍

Thank you Sir for That Story God Bless Us

I love everybody

😍 Loveya'll NativeYa'llare POWERFUL!

I am Cherokee and Tuscarora but with Irish and I took after my Irish side and I still get rascist comments from my little cousins because they don’t understand cause me and my brother are the whitest.

One of my ancestors is Lumbee. I bet I have more indigenous ancestry, but sges the only one that is documented and that I have an actual photo of.

Great interview!

All the love and respect from an Egyptian brother

This definitely was a prideful story of the true American Indian and the racism that still exist today. Heart warming story. Great story of the past.

I just lucked up on this page I'm so happy I don't know much about my grandmother's and her families history. She passed away when I was 3 my mother passed away when I was 12 so I'm happy I get this chance.

I'm old now ,but I wished for years for the "Real History" of America to be told. Instead of the whitewashed lies we had to remember and spit out in school. So many times as a child, I wanted to stand up in my classes surrounded by only white children and tell them it wasn't like that for my people.My great-grandmother on my grandfather side was Cherokee.My grandmother was Blackfoot. S.C. ,N.C. I identify as black, when my DNA is black ,white and native. My father was black. In those days you were what your father was.🤯🤯🤯

Such a great story. Really don't get to hear these stories often from our native brothers! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

This is such a good story of physical power against the klan.

Bravo to the Lumbee people! Its good for the soul to learn that those KKK terrorists were soundly beaten. And by the very people they came to terrorize.

Lumbee pride.

My Grandma told me this story on several occasions growing up

You are breaking my heart.

As a resident of southeastern Nc, and a former student of UNC Pembroke, I can attest to the reputation that Lumbee’s have acquired. They do not play.

What an EXCELLENT STORY! Well Told! What a handsome man...!

Lumbee i love my ppl

I love it

My dad was from Raleigh. He told me this story.

I Never Knew The Story Until Today. Bless

My mother was the first person in her family that was allowed to graduate from a public high school by the State of Georgia. At age 16, she was valedictorian of her high school class, received a full scholarship to the University of Georgia and graduated Summa Cum Laude from UGA. She later got a Masters and 6-year Professional Degree then was named Teacher of the Year in Georgia.

God bless you lubbee people great story. All the best from uk

Awesome story and lesson. God bless the native American people. I hope their bravery and courage inspires us to do better

living history. capturing testomony like this is precious.

Choctaw and African American. Always Proud. Wish I’d knew more about my Great Grandma’s People. Miss her

So beautiful! Simeon Oxendine was my nephew’s great uncle and either a twin or triplet. His sister, Kitty, also took part in that night and is pictured in the Life magazine article. If you’re wondering whatever happened to the Klan flag...Aunt Kitty still has it.

This is a great story, I don’t know you, but you’re a excellent human, feel proud of wat u did👍

Thank you Sir for sharing your life and this story. I remember the kkk very well growing up in the south. They were bad and ignorant people. What I didn’t know was that the lumbee people were a part of fighting the kkk. Thank you Sir for your bravery! Much respect to you and your people! 🔥💜🔥

Amen my dad's family some Silvia North Carolina we are Cherokee and German and we are proud!! I have my mother's maiden name which is very deceptive to my heritage.

Now that’s what I’m about. That was great. History should never not remind us.

I had my own experiences in new bern with the kkk , your story is inspiring

Sad..😥😥😥😥😥

This is an intersting video.

Good job brothers n sisters from Arizona native I’m akimel old ham from Pima rez
