Don’t see, but feel the ache in my stomach of the horror of slavery

01:30:47
Similar coverage in the film The Long Shadow (by a w woman about her enslaving ancestors). This film is being shown without charge right now—easy to look it up and it is very moving.

01:31:06
Thank you for your efforts. As others have stated, it enabled a deeper reflection in this moment. I will follow up later with the links.

01:31:46
I saw it only once … I could not watch it again …

01:32:36
The book is powerful, and different from watching the film. Perhaps that would be easier… and much was pared away in the making of the film.

01:32:39
I feel like it’s important for me to watch it again but I’ve also put it off. Very difficult but important.

01:33:36
YES … yes …

01:33:43
@Seanan, I don’t think it should be an easy watch for white people because the topic is not easy

01:34:00
I saw it.

01:34:07
Please let us just listen now and pause on the chat

01:34:08
I will commit to watch.

01:34:12
I was most struck by the first speakers' statement that he couldn't be GIVEN his freedoms, but that he was born with them. The dignity in that statement in the face of all the terror and debasement endured is a testament to what slaves were able to carry in many cases.

01:34:21
Please, no chatting during the talk

01:34:24
Coates speaks to this in a very meaningful way.

01:34:25
Thank yo

01:35:57
In the opening meditation on ancesters, I was overwhelmed with emotion at the thought of my nameless, faceless ancesters who survived, endured, thrived with resilience so that I might exist. I feel their love even if I cannot trace the ancestry that connects us across generations

01:55:22
“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.” --James Baldwin

01:55:26
I just started reading “The People’s History of the Uniter States” by Howard Zinn and I am learning a lot about our US history and origination of slavery in North America. I am finding this book to be a really important read for me. I also read “What Does it Mean to be White” by Robin DiAngelo and that book was what started changing my racial lens.

01:55:37
What most needs attention is the part of us that we seek to avoid feeling. When we have tended to that, we are changed, and the world changes with us.—Dan Emmons

01:57:42
