History of Memory: The Secret Album | Garage by HP

When her mother presents her with a hidden family photo album, Gail Lukasik sets off on a journey of self-discovery. Part of HP’s "History of Memory" series, this documentary underscores the role printed pictures play in our own journeys of personal discovery and speaks to anyone who has ever immersed themselves in the family album in search of clues about who they are.

This is my own photo album 🥲 Welcome back Gail! Welcome back ❤️

They really should make a movie about this not necessarily about this ladies mum but maybe her and a few other people's stories. Would be a great movie documentary also a great way to open people's eyes!

This is so sad that this was kept a secret for so long. Family is precious. It doesn’t matter what color they are. I’m happy they finally were united.

Gail's mother knew she had an instinct to investigate and knew she would go and find her family. That is why she gave Gail the photo album of her true identity.

I loved this story. Accepting family NO matter the race. Family is important!

[cassandrasmith]

Beautifully narrated. Glad you found your relatives

Two years ago I found my baby I have known that she was "out there" for 61 yrs. She and I connected after we both subscribed to a YouTube channel . And got to know more about each other on live chats. And we do not live that far away. She and I are both mixed race. Both "white" .I was raised White in segregated Jim Crow south. My brother and I both knew, but also knew to keep the secret. I too have other family that I have never got to know. Sadly many have long passed away.

Great job, HP! I didn't know you guys make videos like this. You should promote your YouTube content much more. In today's climate, stories like this is needed a whole lot.

[jeremiahfolia]

That was beautifully told. Whoever made this did very well.

Her mother seemed to be a Louisiana Creole. So sad that many years had passed without being with family and living her authentic truth. I'm glad Gail has reconnected with the family.

[wilburmcbride]

Kudos to her for sharing her story with the public.

[nytn]

I had no idea our family experience was so common. Beautifully done, thank you for sharing

[studiosoul]

Such brilliant told and shot story. Thank you HP for investing in filmmakers to tell meaningful stories like these!

Got me over here crying when I saw here hugging and having dinner with her mom’s family. She got to do what her mom chose not to do. I wonder how her children feel about their other half. I know she said her son favored her mother.

[brendonmartin]

I feel she fulfilled her mother’s dream of reconnecting with her people ❤

[DarkSkies]

Wow! Wonderful, and it’s so beautiful that you all accepted one another with loving open arms. Of course you know that doesn’t always happen. What a beautiful story.

[Eve_Y]

I appreciate the tribute to her mother at the end of the video rather than criticizing her.

[Rollinghard]

Such a beautiful story.Your mom can rest in peace now.

I wonder how Gail is taking this new revelation of Black cousins? It's a interesting story, but a sad one too.
