I absolutely love Terry Crews. He should make the movie of his ancestors' story and star in it. It would be such an educational and inspiring story.
-
For a slave family to be torn apart, find each other again, and remain together was incredibly rare. What a beautiful miracle! I'm crying tears of joy for Terry.
-
I've also been doing my genealogy, and this reminds me of the moment when I learned that two of the very few Holocaust survivors in my family found each other in the devastating chaos after the war. They were both wandering the highways of Lithuania on foot, grieving, barely clothed, homeless, alone, hoping to find someone they knew who was still alive. And they just happened to pass each other on a road. When I discovered this, I literally yelled out loud, I was so happy for them.

I love that Fannie's occupation is listed as "keeping house". Damn right she did. All 9 people together, she was taking care of them.
-
So happy that the Newsomes found their way back to each other, and that Terry learned more about his ancestors. It’s very profound and moving to know more about those who came before us. Their resilience, strength, and love is alive and flows in his very veins.
-
Terry is such a compassionate person, I'm glad he got more information about his ancestors
-
That was a outcome amidst the tragic and horrific institution of slavery. The family back together and showing up in the census 30 years later. I’m very happy for Terry Crews, that he learned about that part of his family history. Kudos to Dr. Gates for the work he does!
-
Terrys’ story needs to be made into a movie with him playing the role of his great great great grandfather
-
I adore Terry Crews! He’s always positive and kind.

Incredible story 😊 As an Australian Aboriginal some of Terry Crews ancestors story resonates. My ancestors/ family members were removed under Government removal policies and sent to work for white farmers, their wages were kept from them. 3 generations of my family were moved from their traditional land onto an Aboriginal Mission/Reserve (Bulgandramine - located in the outskirts of central western nsw town of Peak Hill.

After seeing a whole family reunited I began moving for the joy.

This show is one of the greatest of all time hands down ♡
-
I have a lot of time for Terry, a great man full of honesty and humbleness, great story
-
Terry Crews is by far my favorite person. He is so humble, honest, talented, and motivating amongst many more things. I first liked him as an actor, but as I began to learn more about him, he easily became someone I could look upto and respect to the fullest. Terry is one of the greats
-
Better than any history class I was ever enrolled in, one because it is about real people, who's lines continue into the present day, and two because you hear what the present generation feels, and thinks about their history, it is personal and intimate, it is real.
-
Its nothing short of miraculous that the family stuck together through the turmoil and whirlwind of the timeperiod. When you think of the countless familys that were decimated and torn assunder during that time it really is just spectacular to hear of at least a moderatly happy ending.
