My great grandpa was born in 1895 and died in 2003. He lived in 3 different centuries. That is one of the most amazing things to me.

I'm 86, and I remember talking with my great-grandmother (1858-1950) who was a little girl during the Civil War. She remembered being afraid of all the fighting and how scarce everything was. She remembered the survivors coming home after Lee's surrender, and the hardships that followed for many years. When she came of marrying age at 15, there were far more girls than available husbands. So many men had died or were too crippled to be able to support a family. So, she married an older man. I was 13 when she died, and I remember much of what she told me. I also remember the marvelous molasses cookies she baked.

Geez, the video title is misleading. I kept waiting for her to discuss slavery.

It's crazy to think that this woman was born in 1835, 26 years before the start of the Civil War! She lived through that and witnessed the dawn of the automotive and aerospace age!!

Can we all take the time to appreciate that they colorized a former slave owner….

I had the privilege of interviewing a good friend of mines grandmother whom had passed away in the late '70's @104 yrs. old, she was from the Midwest and the question I posed to her was. "Mama, you've lived through 2 World Wars, seen the invention of the Automobile, Aviation, telephones, the Atom Bomb and man walking on the moon. What was the greatest thing you've seen in your lifetime? Her answer was, the lightbulb, she continued, " you've got to understand young man, before lights came to our town most days ended round 6pm. When lights came to our small town, we would get dressed in our finest clothes just to walk down main street to see it lit up". very humbling for me

My great great grandfather was born (1850) a slave but died a free man 101 years after...(1951)

🙏🏿continue to RIP Paa🥀
I love you.

What a mindblowing experience. To watch and listen to a woman who was born nearly 200 years ago sharing her memories. It's giving me goosepimples.

My great grandfather was a slave his name was Peter Clifton he spoke with library of congress about his life and was apart of the federal writers project “slave narratives and ended up in the book “up from slavery”. I never met him but I’m not even 40 years old yet and to think slavery was only a grandparent or 2 away from me is wild.

My grandmother was born in 1917 and is is 106 years old...as an african-american she has seen and lived through a lot in the U.S. We have tried to interview her but she hasn't accepted yet...she is 100% mobile and lives on her own. Incredible woman!!

I loved the part where she went into intricate detail about her experiences as a slave owner. That was my favorite part.

[robbuxton]

I’m from the UK, and I found it interesting that her accent sounded to my ears closer to a upper class English accent, than to any American accent that I have heard.

[LaLagunz]

My grandfather was just a month old when this was made. He’s still here today in his right mind, in his own home, driving and all. To think, this lady was 94 when he was just born in March of 1929 and now he’s 94 🙏🏽

What amazes me about hearing people of the south speak from the 1800's is you can distinctly hear that the southern accent evolved from the English Irish accent. They sound more English but with a slight twang that is prevalent today in the south. What's even more interesting is she says her R's like a Bostonian, yet she is from the South.

[thejensetterkive]

I was expecting her to talk about slavery and stories of her being a slave owner, but there was no mention of that, despite the title of the video. Unless I missed something?

[TheAsharedhett]

My great grandmother is still alive at the age of 102. The way that this woman speaks kind of reminds me of her own speech.

My grandfather was born in 1914. When I was a child he would sit and tell me many stories about his past. He was born in North Carolina and picked cotton. He was responsible for his siblings as his parents died early. Although he only had a third grade education, he managed to move to Maryland where he taught himself to read and became an entrepreneur. Before he passed he had a successful business in making false teeth and owned multiple houses ( My family owns those houses now and plan to keep them in the family to further pass down) I cry as I type this but they are happy tears. Thank you granddaddy for all that you have done for your family despite all you had to endure. I am honored to be your granddaughter ❤

[igorest]

There was almost nothing I enjoyed more as a child, back in the 1960's and 1970's, than to sit on the front porches of the elderly neighbors (they were in their 60's, 70's, and 80's) and talk to them about what it was like when they were growing up. I can still remember those conversations 50+ years later, I wish I could have recorded them!!

my mom just past 3 16 2024 she was 90. Hurting so bad. Reason why im here after looking at her pictures for funeral

[AngelicTroubleMaker-LaVooDoo]

My 4th great grandfather was a slaveowner in NOLA. Yes, he was a black man (creole). Over 5k slaves in America were owned by black slave owners. 💯
