Black Mooresville: The Untold Story

I love my people. They have come so far with nothing but God and their perseverance.🤨

I'm a 72yrs old blk man, just about the age of many of the people in this documentary and being raised in Detroit Michigan and I have never heard of Mooresville, NC and just to hear of a student being called the N word by a white teacher, in the late 1960s, is simply sickening 😢!...

I was born in 1963 in Arkansas and my seven brothers went through all the ignorant racist things you could think of. Eight grade was as far as both my parents went, and both could read and write. Amazing!! God saw and heard it all !!

You imagine going to the library and told they can't serve you with the book? And some people today said there is and was no racism.

My daddy was raised up by our black moor's family.. He loved these people so much, and they treated him like a son.. LOVE is missing from the world..

I like watching these productions and even though it hurts I love to learn.

I watch these videos and I admit I get pissed. Not only because of what was done to my ancestors. Not only because the government sat by and did nothing. Not only because today's society act like this history doesn't exist. Mainly, because I see so much critique of the black community today especially when being compared to other ethnic groups. Many love to point out what Asians do and Jews do and other groups. Then they say why can't the black community do what they do. But the more you really research history you see black Americans were developing whole cities after slavery but every time they made progress their cities were burned down or stolen. No other group had to experience that. Many groups started building after the Civil Rights movement that black people started and worked for only to see all that work benefit others. It's infuriating because our communities didn't have to have the issues they have. If one can't see how practically every issue in the black community albeit gang violence, poverty, lack of education, teen pregnancies, e.t.c isn't rooted in racism and white supremacy I truly believe they just don't want to.

Thanks for the very informational video. Glad to see such beautiful people talk about the past. Messed up part is we still living in the same kind of situations today..

I am tearing up because of my own related memories. One room school I attended in rural Georgia.

We also grew up outside in Mobile Alabama. We explored everything from the Tennessee Ditch and Railroad to the Three Mile Creek.

Tell me how can you like a people that have done so much harm to your people. I can't.

Thank you for this documentation of history. I'm white, and first of all, I apologize for the suffering caused by white people. My promise is, I will work the rest of my life against racism.

Great documentary. I worked for a large company headquartered in Mooresville remotely and never knew this rich African American history. I thought the area was mixed.

Mooresville is a few exits up 77 N from me. Hearing this history is interesting. Thank you for sharing

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

I listened to all these stories people telling how they were treated growing up and I was in certain predicament also but I never back down from them because I educated myself to withstand their ignorance and until this day I refuse to give in to their stupidity. God carries me faithfully!!! I fear no one but God.

This is ""EXTREMELY EDUCATIONAL"" & BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES FROM MY CHILDHOOD !!!
