this is a great interview, the only iffy part is that twice she tried to insinuate that Mrs. Rosa Park had an affair or “thing” with A. Phillip Randolph.

I knew about this Rosa not being the first. The saddest part is with this testimony, people will still skip passed this video to watch a gossip vlog.

We HAVE to do our due diligence. If there were slaves that loved their "masters", what makes you think that concept has changed. Nothing new under the sun, they just changed the set up.

Rosa Parks was a real story. Somehow this wasn't told, but it is now.

[@RedRiverMan]

Great grandma is sharp as a tack !!! She still remembers so much so clearly. She should be on more shows to shre her knowledge. As a Mississippian I love her accent and her delivery. She talkin real.

[@scottsimpkins5666]

look we better cherish the older mothers and grandmothers that are left. we need her just a lil bit mo! i appreciate her claudette and rosa. Love you Grandma

[@jharvey73883]

Thank you for sharing Margaret story! This was very informative. I can listen to her all day long!!

[@coreygreen3627]

This was a great Interview I'm glad you was able to find Margaret Burch. She is a big part of missing history information that I did not know. Light skin is the best skin I'm being sarcastic. But that's what they do in real life real world.

[@Texasscorpio79]

Thank you Mrs. Margaret and Mrs. Claudette for being the voice for all generations. Thank you for the history you shared.

This is such an interesting interview. Comedy Hype is stepping up their game.

They tripping lol

She had no problem being the face when she knew someone else should have.

[@QuentH17]

Exactly. Like. They need to let it go. Rosa just did it at the right time 💁🏽‍♀️

Why wasn't that the Eastern Rosa park Stars intention? Funny how yall give a bunch of so called heroes benefit of the doubt like they aren't still humans at the end of the day.

She called them " coppers" she straight old-school lol...I love it!!

[@Anderson_Se7en]

She looks great for 90 plus

This Woman is a Gem! 91 going on 60.

[@srank9231]

Little bit depressing that I learned about Claudette Colvin never in school, but watching drunk history 😂😂.

[@Sherrylee50]

Thank you for Sharing this story! Mrs Burch at 91 look Amazing! Thank you Ms Smith the woman she mentioned, Claudette Colvin, Rosa Parks and all who contributed to the Civil Rights Movement❤️🙌

[@MelodyMaker151]

I am living for the cast of characters ... the Pullman Porter, Miss Smith, the church folks ... LOL. As much as things change they stay the same.

[@ksololive376]

I learned about Claudette about 20 years ago and used it for a Black History Quiz. Funny how many of us would rather not hear the truth that Rosa was not the first. Also not mentioned was Rosa was aware that Claudette had been arrested and Dr. King was already scheduled to be in Montgomery to speak, so it has always been speculated that Rosa was encouraged to be arrested. But we rather not discuss the truth. Even if it was staged, the outcome is what we will always remember. BUT IT'S never to late to give our foot soldiers their flowers. If you know of the 4 Little Girls and the church bombing... Look up the little black boy (Johnny Robinson) who was chased down and murdered white cops the same day.

[@Sci-Fi_Fan296]

Now ain’t that something. Very interesting. Keep up the good work sharing the truth.

[@saynsumthn]

Oooh, I am so glad this is posted! I have been talking Claudette Colvin for years when I read about it, she is the REAL SHERO! I love the authenticity of Ms. Margaret's heart!!! I need to find info about Ms. Smith she mentioned. We get duped enough from the outside, we certainly should not do it to each other-- geeesh! If we could just have an allegiance to each other we would be unstoppable with great might & power!

[@timray4988]

FINALLY someone is talking bout what really happened. I been telling ppl Rosa was a pawn in a game. Didn’t know bout Ms Smith.

[@linaluv215]

I wish I could thumbs this up a thousand more times. I love black history

[@AlanaGurl]

Great interview! ❤

[@adsmith364]

The 1st time I learned about Colvin was at my church's black history program, and that was this year and I'm 36 years old. Its so much to our history and history period to still be discovered and uncovered. So many forgotten people and events.

[@teamtaylor0605]

I can tell Mrs. Margaret has told this story many times, Thank You for sharing this history with us. I have also heard that the reason Mrs. Rosa was picked for the spotlight because she was Light skin and there would be a lesser chance that she would get beaten as bad if she were Dark Skin.

[@mauriceyarbrough3840]

She looks amazing to be 91 yrs old god bless this lady,great interview

[@BELIKEJUATER]

She looks amazing to be damn near 100. I remember this episode on drunk history

[@joemomma3208]

She was the secretary for MLK and she gave a better “image” for the Civil Rights Movement vs a young pregnant teenager being a face of the movement!

[@brownsugako7772]

Plus, Claudette was darkskin and Rosa was a preference, let's be all the way real! Black men of today, are the same as Black men of yesteryear... even if Claudette wasn't pregnant, they would've said she was too young.

[@prim.an.propher1505]

@@brownsugako7772you took the words from my keystrokes. I thought everyone knew this

[@jeromejenkins151]

@brownsugako7772 Exactly....Seems like if you wanted to spark the fire of rebellion a pregnant woman not being able to sit on a bus seat would have garnered waaaay more sympathy and anger then just some random able bodied woman. That good Ole brown paper bag test won again. It's what you tend to get when there's boule southern Christian leaders running the show. Same Ole same Ole and ain't nothing changed.

[@brownsugako7772]

@@prim.an.propher1505 Yeah, they play in our face about the reason Rosa was selected, we all know the real reason, she almost could pass for white.

[@chadalahio8266]

@@brownsugako7772So, “the preference” got the people to boycott the bus system; women, also?

[@ShesooBreezy]

Margaret is a true friend for standing up for Claudette. How’d you find her? Can you do more interviews with Margaret? Can you do one with Claudette too?

[@Bananasinpajams]

If I remember accordingly, Claudette Calvin was looked at as a prime candidate for MLK to use as fuel for the protests and marches But.... After reviewing her criminal history It was determined she was not a good fit due to her past issues WHICH is funny because we now use Claudette Calvins to protests behind and get no results which is why Rosa Parks was chosen because when you stand behind someone who is right in their actions, you get results of fair judgments

[@milesclarke5493]

Yes Rosa was chosen because she was the secretary of the NAACP

[@krazykaye8843]

She was also pregnant as a teenager which was frowned upon.

[@RealDealy]

I think it's all part of a bigger plan cause the NAACP was never for us as a people, they are part of the system. Learn their history, and see for yourself If you look at the people who helped us get freedom, NAACP wasn't part of that. It was just regular grassroots people who did it YET we keep giving NAACP props for no reason. What have they done since 1990, at least?

[@Bananasinpajams]

Not only the secretary, don't be dim my guy..... She was clean cut Which today most our black folks wanna play criminals and accept this criminal lifestyle it's pathetic but I digress, having a clean background made it easy for them to support Parks instead of Calvin

[@milesclarke5493]
