So sad, But yet so Powerful at the same time!!!! This was an amazing testimony and a touching tribute to all those who were victimized in that era. Thank you for shedding light on the remnants of this kind of trauma and effects of such an atrocity.
Revelation 12:11
And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.
Thank you for preserving and sharing this documentary. Winfred Rembert’s testimony is not only history; it is a call to study, organize, document, and build institutions with discipline.
I am interested in connecting with anyone involved in Afrikan Black historical preservation, archive-building, community education, or lawful organizing. Are there recommended contacts, study groups, volunteer pathways, or organizations connected to this platform?
My reference point is the organizing intention modeled by the Universal Negro Improvement Association’s preamble and by-laws: disciplined unity, education, self-reliance, and institutional development.
Came here after seeing the video on TikTok. Thank you for presenting his story and all the others do not only our people, but everyone else can see the history of America.

I seen a clip on Facebook was interesting so I followed where it said the rest of the video was. It was hard to survive then, My mom picked cotton and my grandmother most of my family came from a plantation with the Indian in the Black Belt of Alabama.it is hidden history here people scared to talk about, A lot of people lost their lives back then built this country fought these wars and won to be treated worse than animals stopping Black peoples from having power.Now look 2026 different races of people have more then move to the U.S and around the world with more they can’t control ,One thing about it God control mind,Body,spirit and soul and to the oppressor you lost your Soul over power and Gold Amen to the Most High the kin of Kings and the Lord of Lords
