This is my family Jerry Bransford is my cousin, I now farm in Lincoln County, Kentucky @ Omega Star Hobby Farm. I'm very proud of where I'm from and how I was raised to respect and cultivate the land. Enjoy this education.

Today, March 9, 2023, we had Jerry Bransford as our tour guide. At 77 years old he does a great job including sharing the geological history and social past of the cave. I feel extraordinarily fortunate for this experience.

So glad he is a guide teaching history

Mr. Bishops story is so inspiring 🥹👏🏾!!!

This is fascinating!!!! I will definitely put this on my list of places to visit in the near future! I want to learn more!

A place to enjoy a nice day and I wasn’t aware of the connection with the African-American connection Thank you for the information

Look like you're unhappy with that

Very nice cave I was in there once I believe in 1974 and never once did they tell us this story of black people the temperature in the cave stays the same nice and cool it doesn't matter how hot it is outside or cold the temperature remain the same I will always remember this one story that they told us that a black girl fell into a deep pit and the walls was smooth and she got out and they can't understand how she got out to me it sounds like somebody push her into that pit and leave her there to die but the LORD made a way for she to get out and that's the reason why they can't understand how she got out the LORD will make a way out of no way evil people don't understand that

I'm sure they had a language as indigenous ones.. And could read spell, and write so i can only guess it was just not so called 'english'

I was a student in 2001 @ Great Onyx Job Corps and Western Kentucky University and it's crazy how white people seem to think that this stuff is ok...all of us are not happy grateful slaves....some of us are still waiting for the day for you to pay the debt that your ancestors owe us!!! We have not forgotten!!!

@@danewhitt489 because of what you just said. Then says "well that was my ancestors. I shouldn't be responsible" no one is trying to make yall responsible as white folks of what your ancestors did. However, if y'all ignore the system leftovers, the result and effects and let it continue then yes y'all are responsible. Many white people like yourself say " I didn't own a slave" well that doesn't matter, what matters is the residual effects that came afterwards. It's easy to say " well I did do it" . Stop telling what you didn't participate in. Start telling what are you participating in to stop it from rolling.

@@danewhitt489 so forcely taking and removing millions of people their homes [ btw they were women, children too] onto a boat to sail thousands of miles to another continent , forcely separated from their family and sold, rape, murder in mass numbers on a plantation, stripped of their names, forbidden to practice their own culture, forbidden to speak their languages and forced to speak the colonizers language, etc [ only preserve some of their culture] force to assimilate, then after centuries in being in enslaved. You have a president to legislate a "emancipation" but that didn't stop for the enslaved people to be but back into slavery [Devil's punchbowl] where they were put into concentration camps, starved to literal death and forcely worked to death. Afterwards, since they couldn't be enslaved anymore, then the colonizers decide to make laws to separate, redline that lasted for decades, not only that - created a system to put brown and or dark people from success. But then when did create our own infrastructure- [Tulsa Race Massacre (1921), Ophanage asylum, Colfax, Louisiana massacre (1873) [ This was a direct attack on Black men getting the right to vote during Reconstruction. After Whites contested the result of the 1872 election, Black men and a mostly Black state militia holed up around the parish courthouse to protect the local government. On Easter Sunday, April 13, 1873, they were surrounded by a White mob that set the courthouse on fire and shot anyone who emerged. It is estimated that 62 to 81 African Americans were killed.] , Atlanta Massacre (1906), Elaine, Arkansas Massacre ['Red Summer of 1919' (1919), Rosewood Massacre (1923) - Rosewood was a successful Black town in the Florida pine woods until it was burned to the ground by a White mob seeking revenge for the supposed assault of a White woman. At least six people were killed, perhaps more. Survivors waded through swamps in their nightclothes to escape. , Wilmington, N.C., 1898: This incident is better described as a successful coup d’etat, in which white supremacists overthrew the results of a local election. In the process, they killed dozens of Black people and burned down much of Wilmington’s prosperous Black neighborhood. Black families ran into the woods to hide while others were forced to leave by train, never to return and MANY MORE BLACK MASSACRES. Not only that, Laws to have not them to vote until the 1960s [not that long ago], create incarceration system to lock Black people in, they put drugs into their neighborhoods, create sundowntowns [that are still exist today] where they couldn't come to or you'll be lynched, murdered, kidnapped. But wait it doesn't stop their disparities in housing, business loaning, police brutality, etc.... so you think that we aren't owned nothing?!?! y'all are lucky that we don't want revenge...

funny how the narrative goes from they were there from the beginning to they were slaves!

Right they were not slaves but the original indians
