This was a beautiful and thorough presentation about an under-recognized segment of our history. Adupe!

Great work. I’m from Mississippi and I just learned about The Devil’s Bowl a few months ago. I appreciate your work.

I really enjoyed this piece of history. I once lived in Mississippi it did not know that this existed. Thank you for all your work. May God continually bless you to keep going.

Thank you. This is a very respectful body of work. That challenges many long standing myths of the past. And does so with real data. A good model for others to follow.

Thank you for your work! My family is from Jonesville, LA 25 miles from Natchez. I have been trying to trace my family roots I am sure some of my people passed through the Fors of the Road. I will be back down there hopefully next summer to try to learn more about my people. Thank you again!

Thank you for a great contribution of our true history,while it saddens my heart,it also shows our inborn spirit to not give up and our gifts to make another plan,think on our feet,and as we sleep. Our God is awesome.

My ELDER My MOTHER is ESTHER YOUR cousin. That makes me YOUR Family also. She just found this documentary, an told me an I'm very Blessed to alive in 2022 through all the migrations. Still alive

My great grandma came from Natchez Ms , thought some years later she moved to New Orleans, la .I would love to visit someday.Her name was Mary Kate Buckner ( Williams) we called her gm Greenie .Some roots are in Jackson too . Her younger days said to sometimes carried a hatchet.

Thank you elder you touched something in me when u said we don't refer to the ancestors as slaves I will be sharing this video and information

I just looked online to find information on the African and African American community of Osyka Mississippi and found nothing except there were plantations there. The history of the Jewish immigrants is well documented but there is zero on the Native American Choctaw and the African (enslaved then freed populations} African American populations. I remembered meeting Ser Seshsh Ab-Heter - C.M. Boxley at a National Park Service underground Railroad conference in the early 2000's. I had received several emails from him on the forks in the road projects throughout the years. I am so glad to find these videos. Document Document Document the exitance of your family please.

Thank you for your research and sharing the truth. I will follow your example and no longer refer to our ancestors as "slaves." As Almighty Allows!

Thank you.

Thanks for your work! I was there yesterday. Visiting from spfld mass

It is a wonderful thing you have done, researching and putting together this exhibit. I imagine the 'Gone with the wind' tourism promoters didn't offer any help or encouragement. I see there is a Franklin Street in Natchez is it named after the Franklin of Franklin and Armfield? Thanks again for the great service you have provided to your community and for sharing it with the world via KZfaq. Regards Graham from New Zealand

Thanks so much! You’re a hero! Shine on!

Good job!!!✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Do you still have ur Museum open?

May God himself see this as we know he did and bring them all to account

That is terrible to hear about the devil's punchbowl.

what kind of hat is he wearing?

This looks like a very informative exhibit. You said it was a traveling exhibit. I hope to see it one day. Does it still exist somewhere? If so, where?

I’m connected, would love Tom talk with you. ASE O 👑

MY BROTHER IS BURIED IN THE.MILITARY CEMETERY IN NATCHEZ,MS.

My family is from that area and attended Natchez Junior College. I guesssome of these enslaved aren’t ancestors

How did Natchez get its name?

What about the black Indians that was already here.

According to the 1850 census records ALL of the slave owners were black! However, the slaves all had homes and side businesses but thier main job was farming.
