I watch Ken Burns 'Unforgivable Blackness' quite often. Jack Johnson's parents were remarkable. As ex-slaves, they owned their own home by the time Jack came along (1878), and insisted all of their children be literate. I find that, 150 years hence, to be heroic and inspiring.

I'm french and we study your videos in English class. They are great and very informative. Keep making these ❤

SO good. So enlightening. So EMPOWERING.

Thank you for the info

Always so informative!!

Wish we still had that mentality

This is very interesting

Ive always wondered why black people who were born free in the North of America or even from the UK would chose to travel to the South of America during the slave trade, with the belief that thier papers would protect them.??
