I think Spike should buy the property and hold family reunions there forever!

[@shewill8618]

I agree!

[@Labbe1989]

Good idea!!

[@chasity8447]

Agreed

[@neverppreciated]

i also agree! pretty sure he can afford it and with his influence, he can definitely talk it out with the present owner of the property to buy them out.

[@estherstephens1858]

I thought the same thing! Come on Spike Lee, do the right thing!!! Just kidding. He has a movie by that name. Ijs

[@janeyockey3660]

I did that same thing. I went down to Remlap AL and walked the land that my people once owned. It was such a spiritual journey. Thank you for sharing your story.

Spike is the man! Can't get enough of his Spike Lee joints. It must be the shoes.😎

[@selenerainey8406]

I was so touched by this. Bless Spike Lee, that was beautiful and yes, that's probably where he got that entrepreneurial spirit from making such great movies!

That’s why people stay close and connected to family so we can have unselfish pride in our roots no matter how many hardships, heartaches and breaks there is always something special in our individual family histories. Now go ask your grandparents the right questions

I wish they had done that. Because world would have been so much better

[@stuartwilkie4887]

I'm pondering at the profundity of this. Looking back in time, it's easy to look at the average - and base our assumptions on that. But in reality, there is no average. Sometimes our ancestors had much more, and other times they had much less. I'm happy for him that his ancestor had more and good on him for joining the series and finding out the truth.

I find disgusting that is slavery is happening today and also how could anyone,.society or government of any human history around the world thinks slavery is good? All slavery is wrong no matter what

[@Obihann]

Why have a KZbin page if 70% of your videos are unavailable in other counties (UK)? Completely pointless!!!
