"" the actor that played fredrick passed away last yr he gave an excellent performance rip my man"!!!

[@pacmanwrecks355]

Why? 😔

[@yaySurrep]

feels bad

[@GoldenPrencess]

This is not true! He plays on “being Mary Jane “

[@aarondigby5054]

Sorry to hear of his passing, I remember watching this documentary on PBS and zoning totally in on every word and watched it again on another local PBS channel

[@aarondigby5054]

[@cyberx8230]

I'm really happy I got the opportunity to find this and watch it. It was very sad and heart breaking to watch, but very enlightening about the events that took place. I'm sorry for the ancestors of anyone who had to go through this misery and torture. And I praise all the good ppl who tried standing against it to bring it to an end. Idk how a human being can cause someone else pain without remorse or regret. :(

"a new world burst upon my agitated vision" . . . the serious VOICE OF RICHARD BROOKS will forever inspire contemplation! What a strong-man voice to make you think!

[@shinkai9kami162]

William Lord Garrison and Fredrick Douglass are powerful together

So touching the story... when I think about the slavery part of US history my heart is aching so much. God bless all good people. Unfortunately, nowadays the slavery still exists all over the world.

Excellent performance depicting a most excellent man

[@caitlinbreanna3422]

I WISH people took time to actually take interest in history. History is so important. SO SO IMPORTANT

[@aarondigby5054]

You barely can get these dumb bastards nowadays to read.

[@Jinzoslife]

where the captions at though ? the narrator too quick at talking to take notes :(

[@AmericanExperiencePBS]

This may help - we have a complete transcript of the film THE ABOLITIONISTS on our website. Good luck! www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/abolitionists/#transcript

[@Jinzoslife]

@@AmericanExperiencePBS thank you for the response and link, but sadly I already took notes and did my best without captions.

[@aarondigby5054]

Douglas lived into the 1890s if im not mistakened

[@crystalsmith4928]

[@montereydentist]

Where can I find the 2nd part?

[@sawmaksoetan4378]

this is an a good documenty

[@StetsonGilbert]

Well done!!!!

[@dissolved3040]

Who acted for Garrison?

[@derpn00b]

This story must be told, and those of us still free must fight for those who are not. Including our animal brothers and sisters

[@redlightgreenlightswag9338]

I agree

[@the2ndcoming135]

Yup😎

Does anybody have the answers for the worksheet

[@mollycorcoran1]

My social studies teacher is making us watch this

[@aarondigby5054]

She's a good teacher, you're getting the best bang for your buck

[@sscot720]

What did he say at 7:28 ?

[@zynt4xx]

"no, it's never nothing"

[@plantfeeder6677]

Here's a fun exercise for your history class. Discuss whether you would've been an Abolitionist living in the northern States in pre-civil war times with all that it curtailed or a nazi living in Germany in pre-WWII times. The answers are very predictable, but the truth is more revealing

[@ciscoshootsttv]

Video was amazing great info

[@ohemaab]

Thank you for this video

[@JCollins9938]

sorry fro frederick douglass i been learing about his history and life i been strong to dont cry he had a really bad sad life

[@bryan-ep6pp]

The start of the video sounds like the beginning of boe sosa “ life I live”

[@ABitefLife]

Ok ... so I have been reading a lot of the comments on this video and..... Anyone speak English on here? Anyone? Buehler ?

[@hermonkidane6808]

Ahem, before you mock others English, perhaps learn to spell your quotes, so people can understand your references ie. Ferris Bueller.

STILL NO REPARATIONS. WHERE'S THE (untrustworthy) APOLOGY?

[@melissai4798]

Apology from who? Africa or America? Last time I checked it was black people in Africa who sold fellow black people as slaves to the whites... who is worse? The one selling or the one buying? Who is it u want the apology from? Also last time I checked all involved have been long dead.

[@nessa7094]

@@melissai4798 No one wants a filthy apology. *RETURN* the natural resources stolen from Africa that many of you continue to live off of. What really happened: Habukkuk 2:12 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnuYq5ywjM-GodE

WIlliam Loyd Garrison was a Christian Anarchist.

Wow, powerful. The United States should have a federal holiday called Abolitionist Day to remember and celebrate our white and black abolitionists.

For the algorithms🙎🏽‍♂️

[@karlt10]

How the ^^^^ could a human being treat another human being like (this)? I just don't get it...

[@grassic]

Money and greed, slaves were a huge unpaid workforce. If you did the right thing and freed them a lot of people were going to lose a lot of money. So you find ways to justify it, but money is at the bottom of it. If you bring money into human relationships it screws everything up, that's an old. old story.

William: How did you realize you were a slave? Fredrick: Very slowly. I was raised by my grandmother🕶

[@shan0997]

I admire Frederick Douglass and all the work that he did. But I'm going to be THAT person and complain here bc Douglass was clearly of mixed-race. And as much as I admire this actor, he was poorly cast to play him.

[@LoveMafae]

he was a light skin mixed race man not a black man
