I felt both sad and

angry after watching the video.

I am sick of so many people who fail to see the wrongfulness of slavery, because it enslaves innocent people against their free will. What planet or galaxy would ever consider this to be right? Many people don't even understand the origin story behind slavery, which makes things

worse because they don't know how it felt to be a slave then.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt angry at a lot of things.

From the video, I have learned that for many an enslaved person descendant, they have little family to rack their origins to in Africa. I felt not being able to track down your family tree is unfortunate. Comparing to other races, which can be traced back, it has shown how the ancestry of slaves have been tried to been erased.

To me i feel like the emotions brought up from me were sadness and madness.  the anger comes from knowing real humans did this and its just aggravating like i cant believe it happened for so long. its so sad to learn about this history but, i'm really glad we get to learn about it and the truths. Sometimes we do need to hear stories because ive never heard of this story so im glad to hear about i

This video makes me sad because seeing how people think slavery is okay and normal makes me upset. Slavery is wrong and no one should have to go through what they went through.

This video makes me feel some kind of joy because the Whitney Plantation is actually teaching us the truth about slaverly instead of celebrating it. But excluding the video, I feel confuse overall about why they can’t just teach us the truth about slavery from the beginning. I know the truth is distorting, but I think it is better for us to learn the truth either way. Germany for example is ashame of the holocaust, but we don’t see them lying about them. Instead they learned from it and acknowledged it. And we should do the same thing.

There's a difference between a someone saying “slavery is bad” and when the lady said “ my great grandfather was bought for 800 dollars”. That and idea of not knowing where you come from makes me very sad.

excited it seems they are doing this for the right reasons and the goodness of their hearts

The video showed me a new perspective on how we should not glorify but embrace our history similar to how Germany embraces the Holocaust.

This video made me feel sad and it was crazy to learn how slavery started. this was very eye opening for me.

The video mad me feel sad and angry. Its kind of crazy to think many people thought slavery was okay.

this video made me feel angry and sad. I think its crazy how long this has been going on and how people dont even know half of the story.

This video made me feel sad and disturbed at first,  but I became more interested through out the video. I think the opening of the Whitney Plantation is very powerful similar to Germany's Holocaust museum. This made me interested in the video because the country is not only themselves accountable, but also educating everyone on the true history of the event. I really liked John J. Cummings line, "... education is the most powerful tool we have." Learning the truths of enslavement would help the U.S. accept the history and grow from it.  I appreciate Dr. Ibrahima Seck's work in telling individual stories.

A point in the video talks about how the enslaved children were made to serve their "little masters" till they they grow and this made me angry because till this day, some people describe black people to be lazy which is really controversial because throughout history, their ancestors were the ones taking things that were already there, calling it their own, and forcing people to serve them. Seeing people take their time to educate other people about how things really were made me happy.

One piece of new information that i had no idea about was that there were 110 auction houses around that area to trade and sell slaves.This part made me feel sad for the slaves and what they had to go through.Knowing now that they would be sold at least 800 times in their life time is a lot.

One thing I learned was that in the 1800s, many citizens of South Carolina were living there because they were enslaved, and not because they chose to live there.

# data[].attributes.body
This video made me feel sad and pretty mad. I very educated after watching this video. It's shocking how slavery started because of a white rich men.

# data[].attributes.body
This video made me really sad, but also angry. It's so crazy to me how hard it was to just accept Africans as humans to white people, and not as dirty animals who were below them. I'm also happy that they created this museum because many people are able to learn the true history of slavery and what the slaves went through.

Chose ONE of the above questions to answer here!
1. What is one new piece of information that you learned from this video that you did not already know?
OR
2. What emotions has this video brought up for you? Pick one (or more) emotion that you feel after watching and explain what information from the video made you feel that way. (examples: anger, frustration, sadness, confusion, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
One new thing I learned from this video is that John is a rich white man who is trying to educate people on the slaves lives. It shows that even though rich white men started this issue of slavery, there are also good people too, who want to help tell their story(African slaves).
I feel like this story is empowering because it shows that that there are good people, and that John wants other to know the truth about how poor the slaves were treated.

This video elicited a lot of feelings of sadness. I knew that the conditions of enslaved people coming into the Americas by boat was cruel, but actually seeing the diagram of HUMAN BEINGS crammed into a ship like animals made me feel disgusted. I felt so sorry. I also am upset and wondering why plantations are visited for enjoyment today. People glorify it as a positive part of history and use it as a fun tourist attraction, when in reality, it is a place that hurt people. It is a place that broke people. Plantations should be used as a piece of history that we all learn from instead of celebrating it. I thought it was a good point that Germany is ashamed of its Nazi history, and they make it a point to teach their people of how that was wrong. Similarly, this museum is showcasing slavery's faults. However, across the rest of the United States, this may not be the case.

# data[].attributes.body
One emotion that was brought up from this video was respect for this man because even though he is a rich white man, he wanted to show the American people our true history and show what really happened with the slaves instead of trying to cover it up and try to make it seem not so bad.

# data[].attributes.body
The video made me feel sad and anger after seeing what enslaved people went through and heard about their past. One thing I learned about this video in 1860, that many people were living in South Carolina not because they wanted to, but because they were enslaved

# data[].attributes.body
After watching this video I feel very uneducated about the history of plantations and background of how the slaves dealt. It makes me mad knowing that all this stuff happened.

# data[].attributes.body
The emotion that came up the most for me was frustration. I cannot imagine what went through the heads of slave owners when they acted as they did towards enslaved people- who, too, were human. I appreciate how there are people bringing this part of history into the light so more people could not only learn about it, but learn about it accurately.

# data[].attributes.body
This video made me feel very inspiring, hearing about how John J. Cummings III and Dr. Ibrahima Seck have made this Museum dedicated to slavery is very touching, especially how John is white and faces the unforgivable things in the history and takes actions about it. This made me want to work harder and take more actions on the topics that are important to me.

For this video i had two emotions. The first emotion was a feeling of gratitude, toward the museum and the owners for teaching the true history of slavery. The other emotion was a mixed feeling of anger and sadness to what the slaves of the plantation had to go through.

# data[].attributes.body
This video made me feel a lot of sadness after seeing just a small sliver of what it was like for enslaved Africans to be alive in that era. I think that one of the main reasons why this side of history isn't talked about or acknowledged very much is because of how a majority of people in power are still White men who grew up learning the false histories of White heroes who blessed Black people by bringing them against their will to America. It's the same people who buy into that story who get to decide what we learn. It's up to us to go out of our way to learn about the truth and keep real history alive. This museum is one way to preserve the history of enslaved peoples and if more people were willing to invest in teaching others about the lives of enslaved Africans, the dominant/false narrative would be erased.

I learned that there are many documents in French that say what was going on as well as list the names the slaves.

# data[].attributes.body
This video made me feel surprised knowing that slavery started because of white rich men. History is taught through a white-man's perspective but in this video, a white man is trying to educate people through the perspective of the enslaved.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt shocked learning more info on slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
It's really hard to describe the feelings about the video. Looking at the wall with all the names just made my heart really heavy. It's really easy to dumb down all those people to just a statistic and it's really sad when you fully digest that those were real people that had to go through this. It's easy to just shrug off some numbers, but knowing their names just gives the situation more weight I'd say.

# data[].attributes.body
The video made me feel both informed and sad. I didn't know about The Whitney Plantation before, but I really like the idea of informing others about the truth of slavery. It made me a bit sad when the lady said that it was heartbreaking to know that her ancestor was sold for a mere $800. The amount of money was what people thought a human life was worth

# data[].attributes.body
the emotions brought up from me were sadness and anger. its so sad to learn about this history but, i'm really glad we get to learn about it and the truths. the anger comes from knowing real humans did this and its just aggravating like i cant believe it happened for so long.

2. The analogy used to compare Germany’s ownership and responsibility of the Holocaust with the lack there of in America really put the whole situation into perspective of how badly America wants to shove white supremacy and slavery under the rug. No one wants to confront the death rates or the ties between slave and master from birth! Also the rise through generations of the Hydel family is very cool and uplifting.

Emotions this video brought for me was sadness and frustration. After seeing into detail what enslaved people went through, it baffles me that people try to undermine the cruelties and hardships experienced.

# data[].attributes.body
one emotion this video brought was relief because it shows not all people raised a certain way are destined to follow that path and it is heart warming to see him shedding light on the adversities the enslaved people faced

# data[].attributes.body
I started getting mad and sad at the same time because of slavery. Slaves are not having the best life and they didn't do anything wrong. People are just cruel because they just judge them by skin color.

# data[].attributes.body
This video made me feel somewhat emotional and surprised at the same time. Many white people are uneducated upon the topic of slavery because they were never exposed or experienced such pain like the blacks did.

# data[].attributes.headline
Some emotions that the video brought up for me was sadness and a little bit of joy, because even though he's a rich white man he spread the true story of slaves. It made me sad because I saw another family that was horrible affected by their ancestors being slaves.

This video gave me feelings of frustration but a bit content. It is frustration to learn about how enslaved people are overlooked and never heard about their past. When they try to bring it up they get told they are too sensitive and need to forget the past. It is really frustrating that people only seem to listen when a rich white man is speaking. I mean I guess it is a start but it's really upsetting this is how things work.

One emotion I felt after watching this video was frustration since in the video it mentioned that us Americans still have not accepted our history. It is sad that we still do not  accept the fact that we had slavery in our country.

This video brought me feelings of frustration. I'm frustrated that enslaved people don't get any recognition even though they were the ones who worked the hardest so that we could get to this point. However, I do have respect for the white man in the video who wants to enlighten the people about slaves and their history.

Honestly this video made me kind of frustrated, I was watching this anime during break where the MC loss had to work from sunrise to midnight just to provide for his mother, she ended up passing away and It was kind of heartbreaking when I watch this video as well. One of her ancestors were literally sold away and to be never seen again.

1.  In Germany there are many Holocaust memorials; Germany isn’t proud of what happened but they akwnolodge it and America isn’t ready to do that with slavery. I never thought of that comparison and it is very interesting to me.

# data[].attributes.body
One piece of information that i learned from this video was that the Whitney plantation was transformed into a museum because people wanted to show what really happened on the Whitney plantation because of people not accepting the fact that they did wrong and they wanted to show how bad it really was on the plantation.

I learned that john was still trying to educate people on slavery.This made me feel sad and angry after seeing what they went through in detail
