WOW!
That woman is a wicked woman, I believe thing her brother said about her she sound like a criminal police officer I am afraid of her
These womens spirits are unbreakable! I think thats what racist whites hate most about the black collective. Still singing, still dancing, still smiling and happy after ALL the evil they put us through! They know they cant win.
This is what desatan doesn’t want you to know.
what happened to the sheriff's? godspeed Danny Lyon.
Omg im so sorry to the ladies 😢
Real HEROES. Those made up men in capes dont stand a chance. The only culture that has heroes real heroes.
The state of Georgia owes reparations to the survivors and the descendants of the Leesburg Stockade for violating their human rights and constitutional rights
This is another bit of American history that people like DeSantis and Huckabee probably don't want to be told.
WOW!!!! I’M APPALLED 😮
Shame can be a gift if it motivates us to never repeat the mistakes of history. I am ashamed of Americans who have forgotten how easily these girls were treated like kidnapped animals.
Yep, things sure were different before the civil rights movement.
I was angry watching this, but I am very glad these ladies had the strength and personal fortitude to use this event in their lives as a positive motivation. Imagine how great this country could be if we could stomp out the hate and ignorant discrimination ? there are so many amazing people who may not look exactly like you do.
Until you've heard my story God Bless
A very good story to listen to
Please vote BLUE, because Republicans don't want our children to know about these stories starting with Desantis in FL. We cannot let these repubs take over they will try to whitewash this type of stories . VOTE Blues like your life depends on it.
Danny Lyon is a true American hero. I knew nothing of this incident, a dark stain on the state of Georgia. Americus isn't far from Jimmy Carter's hometown of Plains.
Black History is American Living History
These are the stories of American history that NEED TO BE TAUGHT in schools. If a 13 year old girl was old enough to ENDURE this, a 13 year old student should be tough enough to LEARN about it.
Damn damn damn so fucking sad… And yet we're still a racist country sad but true
CNN steering the pot. Way to go fake news channel.
The devils of that era and some of them still alive today and Trump and party would like to go back to that era.
Dude, this isn't relevant to today or anything for that matter.
Carl Sanders (D) was the governor of Georgia in 1962.
John F. Kennedy (D) was the President.
Remember the 94 crime bill? Biden signed it, to keep blacks and other minorities in PRISON! Remember this on election day!
There are people who are still alive but people want to say racism doesn’t exist.. it’s not as bad as people say but it’s not not bad either.. there are plenty of racists left
How does this woman think she looks good? It’s horrible what happened to her but she looks like ridiculous now.
This is what happens when you give one group of people power over another group of people. Human beings are the worst.

Being black in Amerikkka is exhausting and unfair, even in 2023. Nothing has changed but the date.
