Go behind the scenes of this 60 Minutes story here: https://youtu.be/xaQkl1xd6uI

I wonder how their ancestors would’ve felt if someone would’ve told them someday your family will own this place. I love this incredible story.
-
He doesn't even realize it but he is breaking a multitude of generational curses and doing right by his ancestors blessing peace and joy be with this family always.
-
His conversation with the tree 🙏🏼💕😭💕😭💕😭🙏🏼 "You were here while my ancestors were here" I would've been a bucket of tears being interviewed 😭😭😭😭 This was so sad and triumphant at the same time!!!
-
"I'm gonna fix it." Such a powerful and moving story.
-
I think about 150 years ago on that plantation, an enslaved person said “I am going to own this place one day, or one of my family will”. And they truly believed it.
-
IT’S NOT EVEN MY FAMILY BUT IM SO PROUD THAT YOUR FAMILY GETS A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT- especially with your mom the oldest living matriarch gets to see this moment before she closes her eyes. Thank you Lord! So many tears and prayers by the ppl generations before. Then to actually have your relatives bodies on the property- Your family is literally “ whole” . Your ancestors are literally watching over you
-
I can tell Fred and his family are impeccable people with good hearts. I am so happy for their vindication over what was done to their ancestors. I am also grateful for the people along the way that made the purchase possible. Idk if I could be brave enough to stand on the land that my ancestors suffered on. I would probably weep and mourn and never return. I’m in tears just watching this episode. I hope the Miller family keeps this property for ever!
-
Fred you said “I’m gonna fix.” You made me cry. Thanks for buying the house. Thanks to your family!!! I’m Inspired !!
-
Can you imagine their ancestors saying one day we're going to own this place? I'm so glad they have found comfort . They have definitely brought happiness to their ancestors souls.
-
It didn’t hit me until the whole family was shown celebrating together in that house… I went straight into tears 😭 . In a place where their family probably didn’t even get the opportunity to go inside unless it was to serve, be violated or beaten to nearly their deaths….. To their descendants living, owning and communing within that same home .. A miracle.
-
“We have to do something about this. And I will. I’m gonna fix it.” had me bawling my eyes out. This is such a bittersweet story. If there is a life after this one, I know his ancestors are so proud of him.
-
Your ancestors led you there they needed you to own that house this is the full circle they are now held and can rest in peace
-
“Hugging the tree” gives me chills. I know one of the ancestors touched and probably leaned on the tree for strength & support. 😭
-
I appreciate how this news anchor refers to our ancestors as "enslaved people" because they were indeed human beings and not created for slavery. Language matters. Thank you for the respect.
-
I love how they are making new happy loving memories as a family in their home. It’s almost like they are rewriting history and turning it from sadness and tragedy to happiness and love. They are taking back their power for their ancestors. Such a beautiful family and home.
-
The tears of his ancestors that fell on that land....consecrated the future of this man.
-
The fact that lady was alive at the same time as a relative who had been through slavery really put it into perspective how recent slavery is…
-
This made me cry my family is Native American and we can’t find our history. I’m so happy this family found some of there history ❤️

I was first stationed with Fred Miller at Oran AB South Korea, and have worked many years with him at Travis AFB, CA. Awesome to see he is doing well and has bought such a beautiful home. Best of luck, John Speakman
