Some African Americans that were born slaves from the 1850s to the early 1860's did survive into the 1960's.They lived long enough to see laws enforced on their equal rights.They got to see desegregation in schools in the 50's.When did the last person born into slavery die?
The Autobiography of Miss kingjoe Jane Pittman is a 1971 novel by Ernest J. Gaines, whose narrator, an African American woman named Jane Pittman, tells about her life, leading up to her joining in the American civil rights movement in 1962 at age 110. The novel was later made into a television movie in 1974. The TV movie currently distributes through Classic Media.
ms jane was real - her life was based loosely on a neighbor's mother ( ms williams) who was 106 years old former slave . that was in the early 1970's when i was growing up in compton ca on a street called bennette . cicily tyson and paramont pics came to interveiw her and to study her and take pics of her . she was my neighbor
she died around 1977 .
she received a letter and a phone call from presedent jimmy carter on her 106 birthday
I am always amazed at the level of ignorance I see in these comments...Jane Pittman was a FICTIONAL character. You're using a computer, why not USE it and do a little research before you attack someone you're obviously not equipped to debate...
F.Y.I -She is a fictional character. There was no Miss. Jane Pittman in real life. The author's Aunt Augusteen is the inspiration for the character, Miss. Jane Pittman. Another book/film by the same author is A Lessing Before Dying.
she did live stupid shes real and i you really want to prove that shes not real go find her family somewhere or search for the reporter who interviewed her but shes real
Me, stupid? Ummm, I hold a Ph.D. in English. I am also an Associate Professor of English at a reputable, private liberal arts college. The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman is a historical novel that portrays fictional characters against the backdrop of real events. Sorry to crush your heart, but she is not real. You won't find a single site on the Internet to prove your case. However, I can find thousands of CREDIBLE sources to show you how just ridiculous your reply to me is.
Can't believe two of the 3 comments here are negative. Some people just can't read. NO HATRED means she didn't have any. She lived 110 years and endured many hardships including slavery, which she was born into. Sheez!!
I assumed the creator of this video meant that Pittman herself had no hatred, not that she endured no hatred. I thought the video was good. I don't see what the confusion is about. I am not a history teacher, but I think it is an A+ video! Plus, an acoustic version of the Wallflowers' Sleepwalker!!! A++ for music selection!
Look kid, I've seen The autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. The first time I saw it, you weren't born yet. Your verbiage says, and I quote, "110 years, of slavery, loss, suffering, and anguish, but still not a drop of hatred. Stay away from this subject, kid. Stick to things you're more versed about, like weed. Thats it! Do a project on the history of pot smoking! Kewl!

hey can someone help me with these questions of the autobiography of miss jane pittman.
How do you feel about Jane and about what she has endured?
What is Jane originally called? Why does Colonel Brown rename her? What might the
name represent to Jane?
What decision does Jane make upon hearing that she is free? During her travels, why
do people try to make her change her mind? What do her responses to them suggest
about her personality?

WTF? Hope you got an F on this project. Slavery lasted much longer than 110 years. And what do you mean, "no hatred"?

Re: "Slavery lasted much longer than 110 years". It continues to this very day if you think about it.
