I appreciate your ability to uncover the hidden histories of small towns. Without your insights, I might have missed this gem right in my own backyard. Thank you for sharing!

I was born and raised there, but I left over 20 years ago... it's a very beautiful place to visit and the people there are very friendly and they have some of the best cooking in the world...

I used to play out there when I was a kid....that was over 50yrs ago....I haven't been home in about 25 years....he brings back a lot of memories....Wow !

This touched me! I’m so proud for those people holding on to their land and legacy! I hope they continue to protect their community. Thanks for sharing.

Looks Peaceful it's Charming and Clean.

WOW! That old school what got me. It still has everything in it.

The trees ,the road you are going down, the space between the houses are definitely given the slave era. I live in Florida but never heard of this area. This is beautiful there is so much space this seems like a wonderful place to live

Hello Tim! 🌟 Your adventure in Bealsville, Florida is absolutely fantastic! Your commitment to uncovering its fascinating history and embracing its vibrant community is truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing this gem with us.

Their true identity was not that of slaves; they were genuine people with families and emotions. Thank you for sharing this excellent video.

Love this man. Those dogs wanted smoke lol

It's interesting to see the land and homes passed down from generation to generation and to know that many of the descendants still live here. To truly have freedom and access to the "American Dream," people need to be able to acquire land and have access to opportunities. We all know that historically, many haven't had access to the same opportunities due to discrimination, and certain groups of people have benefited from generational wealth more than others. So it's nice to see this successful community that beat the odds! However, I am sure it was not an easy fight for many of the generations who lived here.

Wow ! So close to me in Tampa and I never knew of this beautiful town and I'm 70 yrs old

I love this video,I never knew about this town, very informative, thank you very much❤

The road you're traveling, and the space between the houses definitely evoke the slave era. I live in Florida but have never heard of this area. It seems like a wonderful place to live. Thanks for sharing!

I'm amazed, this is the first time I've come across this town. Thanks for sharing this. I've been trying to trace my family history, but unfortunately, I've hit a dead end beyond my great-grandmother. It's quite disheartening.

Wow! The puppies were protecting the sacred building and sacred land! I love the power of the spiritual us! This is a great video to re-discover our amazing history! 💖💝💖

That's my family town. I just saw my great great grandparents.

This history is truly fascinating. It's astonishing to learn that a former slave owner aided them once they left. Thanks for sharing this enlightening history lesson!

My home town! We were taught our town history from a very young age. Great memories. So many more streets/roads you didnt drive down but overall great video.

That last school building was so authentic it had to be the original school back when all grades were in one big class and the older kids would help the younger kids 🥰

I had the honor of driving through with my mom&she was giving me history&sent me this video. I live in PC (the next city over). I've always seen the signs, but never knew the history

We're back then the slaves stuck together but now they don't want to come together no more and help out each other so really it's sad😂

Thanks for sharing. This is a beautiful part of history.

Just beautiful

Love this City ❤

Brings back memories 🥰.

Very educational. Thank you for sharing.

A beautiful town. ❤

❤❤❤❤

Actually the neighborhood is called Bealsville located in Plant City FL

I can't understand such a beautiful place

I never knew about this place until now thanks for posting this

Thank you so much for this video. It was very interesting. Great music also.

Great area . People still wave at you ,Very country I Live in area . Travel through weekly.

This is great! Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for the video! I live in Plant City and I love any black history but Florida's history especially. I've worked at our local library so I'm familiar with alot of history but your site enlightened me to other states. Two stories I didn't see was the richest black family in Live Oak FL. Ruby McCollum who was impregnated by her white Doctor who she murdered. Another is Eatonville FL. A black community and home of Zora Neale Hurston a famous author and home of annual festival in her honor.

Thank u

Nice tour!

I love this!! Thanks for sharing this Tim

Beautiful community!

Hey man I love this video and I love you too just as much for sharing this. I never heard of this place, but I will do my homework and I'll visit!!! Will be lookin you up and where the good food is.

The school area is so cute OMG

I live in Florida and I don’t never heard of this place. I would love to live there. I’m in Broward County.

I’m gonna be honest I love documentaries like this but I honestly thought it was going to be an old shanty town. I’m so glad and proud that it wasn’t because it shows what we can do and who we really are. Our legacy is not ghettos and drugs. When others interfere with us we get ghettos and depravity but as you can see when we do things on our own with no outside interference this is an example of how we live. Drug infested ghettos were “made” for us to live in and die in never advancing but this town and ones like it that may still exist somewhere are the truth of us and how we can really live and prosper.

What a beautiful and historic town and a great video tour ! I have heard of this community all of my adult life, but never actually took the time to seek it out. Back in the 1970s there was a black lady who was an artist and a farmer. She operated a vegetable stand on the south side of Highway 60 where she also offered her beautiful paintings for sale. If my recollection is correct, she listed her home address as Bealsville. Again, thanks for posting such an interesting and beautiful video !

Beautiful Place😊❤

That was beautiful

Lol 😆 . Nice video. But you were driving just a little too fast. I found myself getting dizzy.

SWFL resident! Great video!

Hi I enjoyed your video and a history lesson about our people. I never knew that. I have a question do they have stores, hospitals and other essential services?

All praises to the most high . . . you sharing and with me watching! Most high in christ bless you! And here im finding out the arabs ( trans & sahara slave traders) who still have Israelites in slavery have bought a favorite black historical business district in our community. Im so alarmed; however, babylon the great& border of wickedness is not the 12tribes' home HalleluYah! Congrats 🎉

I have been here before it’s near plant city ❤

Very Clean, bet they're glad their grandparents stayed in Florida... so peaceful compared to Chicago, NYC ect ...

I have never heard of this area and no just checked its 11 miles from me🤦🏽‍♀️

My daughter's father name is Alfred Beal.. that is very interesting 🤔

I’ve been in Hillsborough county my whole life been in plant city and never knew bealsville was apart of Hillsborough county

Hell, u had me at all black! Lemme check out this vid real quuck...and I luv luv luuuuvah seeing brothas n sistas with all that laaaaaandd!! ❤ Dont let massah try and take/ steal it like they tryna do in Silver Dollar Road. Lord those ppl need a GOOD atty and help$. Watch it. 🤬

That’s my mom’s Grandfather Mr Beal

I would love to live here

This is my mom family land the Goodwines

How far is that from Wildwood, FL...

I hate that you're letting it be known to those people!(Wyts) Next they're going to start moving in and then taking over🤦🏽‍♀️ making

Where are the people? What is the population? Are they selling any land there?

The town was not founded by slaves. It was founded by free people.

I must praise you for this history BUT taught incorrectly by the colonizers. The entire planet is of our ancestors and fore-parents ions ago. They did not come on slave ships, they were already here as the original natives of the Atlantis, Amarukaas aka America. Though some were brought on slaves ships but millions of us were already here. They raped, enslaved, robbed & murdered our ancestors, changed our identities to Africans and that’s how they stoled the lands from our ancestors. We are the original melanin, copper, bronze natives of this country whose identities were changed to African, Negro, Colored, Black (which is not a race, it’s a color in the color spectrum and crayon box). We must educate our future generations into the TRUTH in order to be respected as the owners of this planet…..

This area is so extremely depressing. After hurricane Ian FEMA relocated me to spring Hill right near, it's the most awful feeling. There is nothing positive or successful there and you can tell by the people.. Ask them how they are. I could not wait to leave I even broke my lease to get away bc there was no way I was dying there that's literally what you feel there, death misery and disparity. Spring hill was a black owned town too.. Complete misery feeling towns...if you receive feelings or emotions from others or areas steer clear.

I can't understand with all that land I don't see no garden out there why don't you all come together and have garden sell vegetables and everything and fix up people houses and fix up the schools and open it up for the kids after school and make your time look good I mean what I'm saying what I'm saying y'all not doing so good

im impressed ive never ever seen a black neighborhood that was not trashed and littered. im not kidding this is awesome to see. usually you can tell by looking but not here. nice to see black people taking care of property

Hi Tim, you are bad at telling history. Because there is more history that you didn’t mention, you should have gotten someone who is a descendant that still lives there. Did not like your video, more choice of music.😡

I WILL NEVER LIVE THERE...
