I can make out a Graflex 4x5 (either Crown or Speed Graphic), a Mamiya 7 or 6 rangefinder, a Leica M series of some flavor, and an Olympus Pen F. All legendary cameras. Ok. Now back to focusing on the video and learning something.
Do you ever think that AI (in terms of what it will do with image making) will make our film negatives (extant and yet to be produced) *more* valuable?
I apprciate this video and the others you've done. Thank you! 🙏🏽 ❤️ It looks like more and more, Americans will need to seek out this kind of content to fill in for what's being increasingly hollowed out from our education system.
Thanks, Jamelle for that brief but somewhat thorough explanation. I certainly understood the kinds of things that happened during the Jim Crow era but I didn't understand how we got there or why we seem to be slipping backward towards more of the violence intolerance of that period.
Thank you. I am Canadian and was aware of the rampant racism to the south, but until now, I never really understood what Jim Crow was.
It seems to me, that this new bunch of Nazis will be worse than the last. Elbows up, my friend
This is great! My kids love books but everything is done via video now. This will be helpful for a lot of teachers, students, and people who didn’t learn enough history in school, which is most of us.
as a European who's somehat familiar with America - one of the biggest holes in my understanding of how America works is basically everything post Civil war - pre WW2. Especially in the south.
Thank you for an enlightening discussion. While I was an American history major in college, Jim Crow was mentioned, but never discussed in depth and I regret that. So much of what followed, as you point out, descended directly from Reconstruction and the movement.
Thanks for helping fill in some of my educational gaps, and thanks especially for the references and sources at the beginning. More for my reading list.
I appreciate your posts and the information you share.
Loved it! I appreciated the framing of defining Jim Crow in terms of control of labor. Most school/book learnin' just leans into the plain racism aspect of it, I think.
(The volume of the parenthetical was a decent bit lower and I got surprised by how loud it was when you returned.)
This is really great. So much added to what little I understood before. And so many questions too. I wonder if there was ever a serious movement to adjust House seats under 14A Sec 2?
I lived in southwest Ohio from the mid-60s-mid-70s. Though not technically a confederate state, racism and segregation were alive and well. There were parts of town where houses would increase or go off the market because of our identity, not at all because we couldn't afford it.
It is in southern states that teach a warped rewrite of history, like how the Civil War was "the war of NORTHERN aggression" (no mention of slavery, just that their states rights were violated).
Ha, when I started reading about the American Civil War I found it immensely ridiculous that the South harped about states' rights, just after they imposed the Fugitive Slave Acts on Northern states. I guess some states are more equal than others.

(I then went to go watch the video myself)
President Lincoln tried to treat the confederate scumbags like people after they surrendered.
They shot him in the back of the head for it.
Stevens had the right idea.
Have to get it out with wrecking balls and dynamite but...Their Choice.
Since 1851 --the Protestant church split into Northern and Southern -- they have been daring us to "Make Me."
So, we must.
