I think I liked it better when it's on finding your Roots. Amazing how people find out things of their ancestry line and it is truthful and a lot of things cannot be hidden and no aspect.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Jerome for sharing this! I’m African American, so I’m learning. about my overall history in your research. Thank you so much for doing this in public!

[@anniegould4854]

Wow what a story sad strong and true

[@fhuerta5660]

Interesting, I want to do this, I know I am some type of American Indian, how do you even begin to research?

[@beckypeters5449]

You can try bureau of Indian affairs

[@moniquecoffee3840]

If you haven’t already taken an ancestry test you should take one to determine the percentage of Native American ancestry and possibly the tribe your DNA is linked to. Then start your research of at the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

What tribe?

But in you they are going from property back to people thanks to ancestry ❤

[@Neferenmeret]

Despicable, yes. Why is he thinking that Jerry or Eliza were free before?

[@dmvp703]

The title of this video is triggering. This is a major production and they should know better than to refer to people who were wrongfully enslaved as "slaves."

[@patriciaredmond3996]

It's just a word

[@charlottelindsey5662]

It's a history/genealogy program. It deals in documented facts. Human beings were used as slaves (and still are). It should trigger something, that deep gut feeling that this is wrong.

[@RPEACHES54]

Wow! That is what we were called. You can’t whitewash this.

[@patriciaredmond3996]

@@RPEACHES54 exactly , I'm Irish , my 11 year old daughter decided to read Huck Finn from the school library, she had questions yes, she thought about that time in history, at no time was she made up word (triggered) by anything, there is to much sensitivity around words these days
