[vilin8r]

I have always loved Cicely Tyson in this role. Truly, an amazing actor and I'm so glad to see she still continues to give outstanding performances.

* * * * * All the way!

[Sarasince1992]

Is this based on a true story?

[TheBrianhj]

@xLiikeThatx yes, that's logical.

[zBarThoLomeWz]

I have to watch this for school I am looking for why Ned thinks blacks make good slaves.

[xLiikeThatx]

The 5 dislikes are prolly from people who were racist.

[capesplit101]

[mzbuisness1]

i liked the music in this movie idccc

[StukInBuf]

Instead of having a tape recorder and then typing, he could do it all one time, using the iPod to text the story to his superiors.

[StukInBuf]

34 minutes in Katherine Helmond... a talented and multi-faceted actress playing that angry Southern woman. Shows her many talents.

How far back you wanna go? (she got deep)

[sbergman27]

I've been studying ancient Roman history, where slavery was quite common. & the differences between Roman & American slavery are striking. In the Roman Empire slavery was a social station. Anyone could be a slave, regardless of race if, e.g., they couldn't pay off a loan. One could & often did rise above that station, or fall to it as an adult. Manumission was common. American slavery was particularly abhorrent as an institution. Essentially race-supremacist, exploitative, & generally permanent.

starting at 1:07:23 he is so telling them the wrong info

[countrycat95]

HELLO EVERYBODY! I need you help! I am trying to find the name of an old african american movie that I watched when I was really little. I believe the movie was a made-for-TV movie by Oprah Winfrey. I only remember ONE thing about the movie... A woman's female child dies due to an illness. The child was anywhere from 6-13 years old. I remember her crying over her grave, but thats all I remember. I remember thinking that the movie was really sad, but also very good. If

[bwoyrough]

@countrycat95 look on imdb and you should find it under her filmography

[Adizero70000]

@countrycat95 Sorry.. Cant recall it.. But if i figure out any information about it. I`ll let you know.. xoxo

[dewberry70]

@countrycat95 - In the movie "Cora unashamed", the lady has a daughter to die; Cora had a biracial baby, and the people she worked for had a little girl that Cora began to think of as her own.. Hope this helps.

[countrycat95]

@dewberry70 Oh my goodness I think thats it!!! I looked it up, and it makes sense... do you remember what the child died of? Was it an illness? Did the lasy ever cry over the child's grave?

[dewberry70]

@countrycat95 The little girls name was Josie and the other little girl was Jessie. Josie had a really bad cough, and one night her throat closed and she could not get air in;. Her mother did make a tearful speech at her grave side. I think Youtube has the movie.

[countrycat95]

@dewberry70 oh ok. well, that sounds right :) I'll look into it. thanks alot!!!

[MrGrevy]

@dewberry70 Then she fried her in lard and ate her with biscuits!

[Teezer44]

I am in tears. Thank you so much for uploading this. I am shaking and in tears. This is the greatest performance I have EVER seen in my life. Taken my breath away.

[honeegrrl]

I love how she blames the blacks for starting the civil war.

[jparker59able]

This is one of my favorites...they don't get much better.

[hottahotta1000]

[captxena31]

ty for the upload been looking for this

[MightyTameLion]

I don't even see the sense in releasing that horse. Now her husband is dead. All in all, a good movie.

[Afanlynness]

the last part when she used the white only fountain was really touching me ....

[Shandra9000mail]

@Afanlynness I thought that last scene was degrading. I mean a water fountain? A water fountain? My God!

[Holloway6151975]

@Shandra9000mail

That was a big accomplishment for african americans just like elder negroes living to see a Black President A heartbreaking and tear jerking moment that can never be taking back or away when i saw that moment the first thing that came across my mind was "The Negro Nation Athem...Lift every voice and sing"

[CandyLadySoSweet21]

- In the book it says that the horse was black && That Joe Pittman had two daughters with him , Overall I like it && The book : ) <3

[virgil606]

i remember watching this film when i was in elementary school 30 plus years ago.

[nupey8907]

@cossack207 it was just on this network named Ovation about one month ago!

[JayvonJarel]

Did any one else relentlessly cry at the Water fountain scene at the end...Love you Miss jane

[sbergman27]

@JayvonJarel "Did any one else relentlessly cry at the Water fountain scene at the end?"

You mean cried especially hard? I cried throughout the entire movie. Brilliant performance by Cicely Tyson and the whole cast!

[Holloway6151975]

@sbergman27 I did

[cossack207]

too bad you no longer see this on TV-- and thats a shame!

[mrweirdlygruesome]

I remember watching this awesome movie when it was the movie of the week..awesome..

[ebbzful]

i love this movie ciecly tyson did that ! being young and watching this makes me wake up and see everything that happened so that we can live a life like we do. i hate that so many people take for granted what was done so we wouldnt have to see a life as such. i wish this was a true story !

[whitleymariea26]

This is a African-American Classic! I watch this as a child and I was impressed with the telling of Miss Jane Pittmans' story. In my opinion our young men and women should see this presentation. It wouldn't hurt for our ELDERS to re-visit their "ROOTS" either.

[1024SueNelson]

It is amazing how sad he and his wife are telling them they are free, as if they are offended. No one could ever treat them like animals. But it is all right for them to dish it out. Amazing how the mind works.

[1024SueNelson]

That is some make-up job on her face, my goodness.

[mzbuisness1]

@1024SueNelson word 2 there makeup. was disgusting. they needed new makeup artist

[tracypughful]

this is very historical

[MrMinaj13]

[DownfallTwilight]

[junieclay]

[MrsATBoffman1]

@junieclay Jane Pittman is a fictional character

[satonya444]

I absolutely loved this movie!!! Cicily Tyson best female black actress around!!!!

[skudaarkaat1]

A BIG vote of thanks for this one! This is certainly one of the finest films of all time, and if Miss Tyson didn't get an Oscar for it, there are no Oscars!
