Robert: (The following is not Judgemental nor Condescending, it is Discernment and a Request) Please, (you guys/gals in your group), make a commitment to STOP Bare-hand removal of leaves. The Scorpion demonstrated why, and (there are other toxic venomous crawlers and snakes that lay in the leaves and debris). Find gloves that are used to protect hands from such injury and invest the money/costs to be safe in your Explorations and Works. "You can't afford not to do this.". There are younger folks that watch your Channel and I know you realize "the responsibility of your example". Enjoy your Explorations and Passion with Conscious Thought, in Good Health, and with a practice of Safety. Appreciate ya, Beth Tennessee, USA ✨

[@lisetteprivado]

Thank U for taking care of them. I can see your blessings coming!!!!!!!🙏🏽

[@decembergem4598]

I can hear the residents of that cemetery saying " God bless you son for caring" Thank you Robert for all you do🙏

[@lisetteprivado]

I can hear them too🙏🏽❤

[@Marcella-e1o]

So kind of you uncovering history and protecting the gravestones. So very kind

[@frankmarullo228]

Robert you are a good man my friend ! These people that are buried there probably don't have any family left there to take care of the graves. ( It's a shame ) . Believe me God has taken notice of what you do. It will come back to you in the future. Hope you read this. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.......

[@Therysmom]

So cool of you to rinse the scorpion! In some African spiritual folklore they are seen as protectors of holy places! He’s protecting that grave 🦂🫶🏾

[@MsG718]

It is humbling to see the time and consideration you invested in restoring this forgotten cemetery. To leave a place better than you found it, makes the world a better place.

[@BreezeFrey]

This channel epitomizes DO GOOD. And we are blessed by each of these wonderful shares. Thank you for caring! ❤

[@MurderMostSouthern]

[@lillypad9960]

Thank you, Robert for your love and respect for these souls. Your kindness will not be forgotten. Blessings from Michigan.

[@johnlaforte700]

Great work in an abandoned cemetery. They live again because of you. 🙏

[@TitanicTubi]

Being African American myself I'm most greatful u are cleaning up the old slave burial ground. I'm very much into cemeteries and preserving them. Thank u so much for what u are doing. Hello from Chicago.

[@Charger1908]

Robert, kudos for what you do. I’m a veteran and I really liked what you were doing in that African American cemetery. I keep saying there’s no racism in this country just in some peoples minds. You get no credit for what you do. Some people should know what you’re doing out there in the world. God bless and take care my friend.

[@courtneymoyer1637]

There are still racism in this country just like last year there was a white supremacy that shot and killed 10 black people up in Buffalo New York in a tops supermarket just because he did not like African American people now that's racism right there so this country still has racism in 2024.

[@courtneymoyer1637]

Wrong there is still racism in this country in 2024

[@kimgrattage6049]

You have done a marvellous job on the headstones, I'm sure those who you have given back acknowledgement too are looking down on you and thanking you for being so gentle and caring with their last resting place? God Bless you for all you are doing.🏅🏅🏆🏆❤❤

[@anskelder5994]

You are a good man,with a warm heart.Thank you for all you are doing😊❤.

[@SondraD7676]

Really great progress and recap. The stones look really wonderful in comparison. I really do hope that the tree thiefs are caught. Great work even when down with covid pneumonia you are true to your word in making a difference and righting a wrong. Your heart always shows. Enjoyed!! 👍👍❣️❣️

[@crafthag6736]

If I was one of those vandals, I’d be sleeping with one eye open. Whereas, you Robert, can sleep peacefully with the blessing of those spirits.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

You can't get much lower than disrespecting the dead!

[@lindacasper8518]

You are a wonderful person to help rebuild these beautiful people greaves and head stones. Bless you

[@debbieellis5074]

Robert, love your sense of humor. Thanks for what you're doing. God bless you.

[@karen-rg3pi]

Robert, you are one classy man. I consider it an honor to be included in your following and take reflected pride watching your efforts in all of those old, abandoned slavery cemeteries. Thank you!

[@aquariusrizing]

That was a big scorpion. Nice. I think the folks who've disrespected this place will reap what they've sewn. Great job, Robert. And Crew!

[@cindymcmurray6879]

Thank you for cleaning. It's great you have a sponsor. Historical cemetery saved by Robert.

[@monicashapiro5755]

So sorry to hear you had Covid. I went almost 3yrs before I had it last Nov. Not too bad just like the flu and out sick about 2wks. I went on Ancestry and shows Marriage record of Manson Hamler and Lizzie Dozier Aug 17 1870. She was 24 yrs old. They show 2 kids in I think 1870 or so census 2yr James and 3mo Mansen. Shows Lizzie as Farm Laborer.

[@Carolbearce]

Robert, you are doing an amazing job cleaning up and documenting this cemetery.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

36:26 WOW, a thousand times! Awesome. Now we can put a nice photo of the grave on the internet so his descendants can be proud ❤

[@debiebrumley3104]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them Robert. Robert bringing out the past history

[@Lorriann63]

Robert, you are doing such a wonderful thing to remember these people and to clean up the place they're in. I hope they will be able to find the people who are stealing the trees and doing other illegal activities at night, even if they don't come back. Thank you for all your tireless work.

[@margaretdurant2756]

[@user-randi1987]

Amazing work, Robert. You are a decent, honorable man

[@joyfisher2128]

All the stones you cleaned are looking so great. Loved seeing the update on everyone there. It's looking so good at the moment but like you say, very nervous about how quickly the cemetery is going to get overgrown. I'm so glad you've taken it on to document it in it's current state and do the cleanup. The significance of it is so easily overlooked but it is such important work. You are an inspiration as always!

[@claytonlee]

Joy, Just wanted to say it's Always Nice to see you in Robert's videos. I Really Wish you were in More of them. Take Care and Hope to see you Again Soon !!!!

[@joyfisher2128]

Thank you for the kind words! I’m currently doing research on this cemetery so hopefully Robert will let me come back in another video soon to talk about what I’ve found out. Take care!

[@jeffsmith5443]

Have people worked with the National Park Service to nominate these cemeteries as National Register landmarks?

[@katefermani659]

I love what you do! You make this a better world - thank you!!!

[@ghighiannemorrison4922]

Love your channel. I learn so much. 😊 from Australia

[@BAYBAY_316]

Thank you sir. I haven't been in awhile but I like to go to older cemeteries as well and say their name outloud and wonder who they were. How they lived. It's just a way to show respect I guess. I consider my own mortality and wonder if anyone will think of me in 100- 150 years. Luckily I haven't seen any vandalized yet. Thanks again.

[@lisacooper3991]

U do a amazing work and effort on the cemeteries and headstones.. and rely history as u come to know of it about the person and cemetery..D2 should sponsor ur channel..thank for sharin..

[@waynesoutlook5735]

Awesome my friend, your dedication is not overlooked would love show you some my family cemeteries in Tennessee

[@KittKatPawz]

Thanks for what you do Robert. ❤

[@judywebb2193]

You and your other locals working to get these forgotten cemeteries on the maps and cleaning what you can are my heroes! Keep it up ✝️. Hopefully, the governing bodies will step up their protection of all these sites.

[@TheMacca53]

Robert you do alot of good! Such a big project!

[@jeffsmith5443]

Keep up the great work that you do to help preserve history.

[@dorenedaniels7493]

I think you for all the love all of you put on all of them and I'm so sorry about your cameras being stolen. God bless you 🙏❤️

[@Emmywe8002]

I didn’t know you have scorpions in Georgia. Blessings from Sweden for your good work.

[@frankweatherford6848]

My mom always had me and my sister at cemetary where her mother was at rest. A large older cemetary. We would visit grandmother almost weekly then have a walkabout through the headstones reading epitaphs and names.Im sure of the peace it brought mom because its how i find peace in difficult times. My is buried in my community cemetary that dates to early 1800s. I can ride my mower over from my home and enjoy being at peace with her. I love watching your videos and im quite sure the residents of those places smile upon you brother.🙂

[@gogetter8866]

I love to see GODLY men do GODLY things! Many times without knowing it. You become teachers! Thank you!👍🏻

[@richardgrumpywelsh2485]

This was another one of your great videos. You should be thanked by everyone for doing the great cleanup

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Robert there are so so many good things i could write about you. Trying to keep this a little short I will say what my mother said about my grandmother her mother in law You have earned your crown in heaven. It is not something i say lightly or about many people. You truly are an example of what we all should be like. God Bless you and your efforts. I'm so glad a company sponsored you for the security cameras. I wish the D2 company would sponsor you. You use so much of their product and I'm pretty sure the cost of it is coming out of your own pocket. I love both of your channels. I have learned so much from you but also you restore my faith in humanity that there are still kind caring decent people in this world.

[@KonTikiBea]

thank you so wonderful to see you were able to clean up this honored place and give it the honor it deserves ...

Where are your gloves? You need to protect yourself from bacteria, fungus, and animal droppings. You care so much about preserving our history . That's a wonderful thing. ❤ I like the cleanup of the area as well as cleaning and fixing the headstones. 😊

[@cashelkings]

Youre a good person Robert.Cant imagine why someone would vandalize a cemetery. They.will have no luck for that

[@sherrie545]

Hard work for a worthy cause, you can definitely see the transformation from the first time you went there and discovered all the damage from the tree poachers. Great job!

[@papaadams2387]

I think when you use your hands, it’s personal, it’s like your family, it’s like God put that in you! Every time I see you using your bare hands it touches my heart!

[@sandracarstairs7506]

Thank God there is someone like you that takes good care of the forgotten cemeterys. Beautiful job cleaning all the headstones.

[@Irene-k4m]

Robert this is a great video glad you are well now. I am so happy you are caring for them. I do hope they find your camera and catch the people who are damaging cemetery he said that the cemetery is owned by a corporation. I hope they’re paying you or at least give you some compensation for this great work you’re doing God bless you.

[@margaretgarls153]

So glad you had help.You are doing such a great job saving this long neglected cemetery. It is so sad that vandals desecrated this cemetery by cutting down the historic trees. I am sure the people buried there appreciate your respect and documentation of the graves.

[@jimplummer4879]

I put d2 on my ggrfather's yesterday and you could see the moss light up and turn green.

[@Josh31287]

[@lauraJP76]

The place is looking so much better. Thanks to all working on this cemetery 😊

[@dasonofneworleans7999]

I really like what you’re doing and I wish that your intentions are pure

[@jackjaeger2189]

You keep going. It is great to watch.

[@marytaylor8417]

It's good to see the improvements you are making. It's really a shame people are stealing the wood. Basically they are stealing from the dead. I hope they are caught.

[@garysoykin2783]

Thank you Robert for doing that to that Cemetery our world needs more people like you and your friends

[@Steve7318]

I hope the living descendants if there be any see this and they can do their family research. The burial grounds of enslaved people should be more protected even if they are privately owned and maybe they are. You're doing great work.

[@pats9055]

Such a shame there are people so destructive and disrespectful. Such a blessing there are people such as you who cares. Thank you for sharing!
