You can't have American history without Black History it is what it is

This gave me the chills. I believe the ancestors are smiling down to say welcome home. Black history is American history and should be taught in schools. God help us 🙏🏽

As an older white it made me so angry to find out that what I learned in school was not even the truth not even about Christopher Columbus being the first person to discover America. It made me wonder what else we were all lied to about our past I am happy for your family that you found your family and that you are with your family thank you Father in heaven❤ thank you for the truth

He "hugged the tree" is precious! Thank you for giving this family such as sweet gift !

You can bet Violet & David are pleased that Fred Miller bought these 10+ acres & all that that entails. Those buried there are truly home now. The Miller family is finally together. I admired how close a family they were before all this. An ideal example of what family should be.

Thank you 60 Minutes for this collection of Black/America's History. These stories(and many more) should be told not only in February but throughout the entire year. I'm a Black woman in my late fifties, educated in America, and I"m hearing most of these stories for the first time. Black history is America's history. America can never heal went we have people who are trying to suppress one segment of its history. We have to continue to fight to educate ALL Americans.

The graves that were desecrated for the sake of "progress" are a reflection of the sad truth that governments and corporations don't care who is in their way, especially if it's someone who is deemed "less than." These stories need to be told. Thank you for educating us.

It is so important to know the COMPLETE American history. The good, the bad, and the in between. There’s no need to hide what has already happened. Tell the story. It is what it is.

This story really touched me…even brought tears to my eyes. I’m a U.S. history teacher and I can say this story resonated with me. I can say that his ancestors must be very happy knowing that things have come to”full circle ⭕️”. My family owned a hundred acres of land in Louisiana and, over time and with racist violence, we are down to just about 10 acres. When I’m on our property, I can “feel” my ancestors in my bones. It’s hard to explain, but I feel connected to our land because it’s our ancestral home.

I'm no African American but these stories just really hurt. I can't just imagine the story of my own Ancestors in Pacific islands of the Philippines. 333 years of Spanish colonization, 3 years of British, 50 years of USA, 3 years of Japanese. My late parents almost 100 yo and my ancestors lived through but never talked about it. Thank you for sharing your stories in this documentary. We all probably share the same stories. Ours sincec1521 yours probably earlier than this.

That part about "not getting into grown folks' business" is still very much a thing. My parents' generation didn't really start sharing stories until the Roots book and miniseries came out. Very hesitant to bring painful family lore to light.

That 90 year old lady looks good to be 90 what a blessing she is ❤

I'm from Africa who had grown up with joyful extended family around me & without the painful impact of slavery on African Americans Therefore, I never understood the deep agony of many African Americans who lived through slavery & broken family roots. Thanks to Fred & his extended family sharing their story, I've learned a lot about the painful journey of African Americans to overcome slavery & reconnect to their family roots. The national museum should preserve slavery memorials for public information.

Fred! Please do a television movie on Sharswood. A wonderful place to learn history from the past & from the future.

I am a resident of Oklahoma that has been keeping up with the mass grave sites search of the Tulsa Massacre. There's been a few news stories over the past five years and I always make sure to add my commentary. As in the case of Clearwater FL, there's a highway as well as a baseball stadium involved in my assumption. After visiting the newly opened Black Wall Street Museum I walked the areas of Greenwood district. I noticed the highway was built and split right thru the district as well as a huge baseball stadium directly next to the highway. I called on my ancestors as I walked because I felt an overwhelming presence as I noticed the highway and baseball stadium. All I heard in my heart was the spirit of the people lost saying help us they've hidden us right under your noses. Right there beneath that baseball diamond and the Interstate highway that was built right next to it. It's a shame what has taken place in the past and that is being hidden to this present day. There's plenty of history tucked away in the Masonic Lodges of Oklahoma that archive this situation. These people are highly detailed in what they do, and exactly how they go about doing it. Even if they make it seem like a random act violence. I'm sure they have their secret social rituals they participate in until this day. Like attending a baseball game at the stadium knowing that there's a mass grave underneath the playing field. Until this very day there hasn't been any discussion I've heard about these to suspect areas on the news. 🧐

I am very happy for all of you and congratulations on the discoveries. Lots of love from Jamaica 🇯🇲

The Sharswood story was amazing

Saw this originally. Great to see again here at the start of Black History month!

Its ridiculous that im 53 years old and just learned about the tulsa massacre 2 years ago. Was kept pretty quiet.
