Fountain Hughes (age 101 at the time of this interview) recalls his younger years when he and his family lived as slaves as well as some good advice on how to spend money. Worth listening to.

Americans of all kinds are in debt. A relative of mine went through the great depression as a child. Had 5 other siblings, and didn't know one another. Their mother couldn't afford to keep them together. Some didn't see each other for more that 20 years. One of them is my grandfather and he speaks of buying on time in the same manner. So I believe the gentleman in this video is speaking from experience, on the matter of credit. It wasn't directed to any particular "race".

He was talking about debt bondage. A legal form of slavery (now viewed as a form of slavery and banned under human rights) that bounded blacks to their former slavers. The slaver would loan the former slave cash in exchange for services and keep raising interest even if they met their obligations which meant they were never paid. This kept them in debt forever and bound to the former plantations. He was a very smart man for not doing this.

they said that Hughes died in 1957, yes 1957, this took place in 1949, so there are Black people living today that knew people that was slaves and they were doing these interviews starting in the late 30's so the next time somebody tell you it happen a long time ago, let them know that they did interviews that are less than 100 years ago with living Slaves.

When he said his name “My name is Fountain Hughes” I heard that beautiful voice and bursted into tears. It was powerful, strong, painful, experienced, familiar, and captivating, just simply amazing. Extremely thankful for this upload. We hear actors replicate their voice but to hear an actual voice is so beautiful. Mr.Fountain lives a long life, over 100 years. My God I would love to just be in his presence, hear his stories and just stare at him. Beautiful spirit and interesting how his advice still applies to this very day!

As I listen to this noble old elder tell his story. What stands out in my mind is not his clear presence of mind at 101 years old. It's not the fascination of hearing an enslaved person tell his story first hand. It's not the rare privilege of traversing back in time. As I listen to this Elder,I'm in awe at how ruthless and savage,how low and despicable,how hate worthy his en-slavers were and still are.

Freedom he was born with before he was enslaved.

That was the que for the interviewer. So grateful this window to the past exists

@Jose Stevenson From the US and i agree. I feel sympathetic, but i feel no guilt. I have never enslaved anyone in my life. It is a stain on Americas past, but we must remember that: -Slavery was commonplace around the world at the time. -Slavery is still practiced in many countries today. -100,000s of Americans died in a civil war to free these poor souls.

@garnbroek Based on the statistics of northern slave owners, there is an extremely small chance that any of my ancestors "owned" slaves. So no, i bet my ancestors didnt have slaves and even if they did, i stand by my original statement, i sympathize but feel no guilt. I have never owned another human being, and im not responsible for what my great great great grandparents did.

Makes it clear Union Army did him no favors, From living like a dog in slavery, to being turned out like cattle with no help or assistance. 1/3 of Freedmen died from tender mercies of reconstruction while money to feed them went to Transcontinental RR Transatlantic Cable and purchase of Alaska. North didn't want freedon for black, but freedom from blacks. If 380K died to free slaves, why starve them to death?

Brought me to tears. I can't believe that slavery was prevalent in America like this. It is a shame! Remember though, many races of humanity is a descendant of some sort of slavery. Romans from antiquity had slaves, Egyptians, and now modern day middle eastern countries had slaves, amongst many other regions. Sighs.....I just wish that North Americans would have not continued with this and done better, it really angers and upsets me.

We all know this. Yet 400 years of slavery for a people is extremely profound however, and worth never forgetting. It's never wise to downplay a people's suffering no matter how subtly it's done, especially when they want to remember their ancestors. Just because other people went through slavery throughout history does not mean there's anything wrong with focusing on the subject at hand. It's also important to remember this so it is Never Repeated Again!
