Thanks so much for discussing David Walker. He is practically never mentioned amongst the Black leaders of that time and thus, does not get the recognition he deserves.

I never heard of her before, thank you for sharing! This generation of young women will move with such strength of character! We just need some time to sort through facts and fiction.

Thank you for this 😍🥺 this made my heart so warm. Your daughter will look back on this and smile. You look so proud of her already

The Biggie line made me literally throw my head back and laugh. I appreciated that a lot

"This is an era where long titles were super trendy" So... Basically like modern day Japan.

Light novel titles amiright

This is a fantastic and inspiring well thought out and excellently presented series. Thank you

This series is so important. Thank you to all involved. ❤️

Both David Walker (p. 262-264) and William Lloyd Garrison (p. 267-275) have articles in Library of America's "American Antislavery Writings." Maria W. Stewart has an article in Library of America's "American Women's Suffrage" (p. 14-18) and in Volume 9 of the third edition of Dictionary of American History, p.331-332). The former is her "Lecture at the Franklin Hall" which is the first appearance of a woman, black or white, before a mixed race and mixed gender audience. The latter is "What If I Am a Woman?" Both are powerful lectures. I am not sure where one could obtain more, but I am sure there are more writings by all.

Keep up the good work Clint, this series is the best history one on CC so far

I love how you break things down. Connecting everything to modern day and even your personal life as a black man and this specifically with your daughter and wife and how you both want her to speak up. The nuance and detail going into individuals and giving them just as much importance and focus as any general or king. And even going into general ideas to give a voice to the many enslaved who were voiceless . Also your not afraid to both bring about a person’s due respect such as with Maria but also bring about her faults and issues such as thinking the enslaved weren’t doing enough to earn their freedom especially without having said experience herself and ignoring her privilege from that perspective as a free woman.

I firmly believe women are the key to progressive social change.

Thank you again for enlightening me with more knowledge about the recent history of slavery in the US.

You have no idea how bad i needed a new Black American History video ;--(

I wait on these episodes in excitement

wait i cannot wait to catch up on this course! thank you crash course!!!

Incredible explanation♥️ I'm really happy to see we - Black women - raised our voices in past, how it encourages us to do the same now.

Great educational video

This is my favorite one so far 😭❤️

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this! What an incredible woman

Amazing episode! Thank you.

I love Crash Course, and they are and have been very educational for over a decade... But dam, this is such a difficult series to watch, not only as a black American, but as a person. This is #11 and I think I skipped 3-10...

This course is awesome and so informative

Wow! I wish to every young black woman can watch this

I really hope you guys have an lgbt/black history episode. Without figures like James Baldwin and Marsha Johnson and movements like ballroom the lgbt community would not be what it is today.

Thank you. Important for all of us!

Thank you for the education

only 145 years ago :O

Been loving this series since the beginning. One criticism though, which I think could be used to further develop how we think about people of the past: When discussing the men in this video who permitted and upheld Maria Stewart's right to have a voice, which ultimately led to her prominence in the movement, perhaps you're looking at it somewhat incorrectly. You mentioned how these men shouldn't be given "gold stars" for doing something they should've been doing anyways, but this misses the point of the impact they had by doing so. Keep in mind, given what you said at the beginning of the video, that women were encouraged, even commanded, to stay silent and let the men speak. But these men recognized that such a mindset, which was predominant, was logically fallacious and morally wrong, and thus they took the initiative to go against society's norms. That doesn't necessarily make them the heroes of this story, but it does demonstrate that they were heroic in their way of going against the social tide to fight for what they saw as right. Taking this further, we should probably look at all characters of history in a similar light. While we examine specific individuals who broke the norm and impacted history in positive and significant manners, we should never downplay those who aided them in their rise simply because they should have been doing so all along. These individuals are pillars who helped the lead character reach his or her goals in breaking the status quo and fighting injustice.

Starts telling a story about his daughter... *Slams the like button

My niece is also 2 years old and I wouldn't want to stifle her either.

Maria sounds pretty cool!

5:43 - 7:32

Queen among queens for what she did for civil rights and feminist power.
