"Isn't it? It is. It really is. I mean, we all live in the same area. We come past this place, and we would not know that our ancestors were right there beside us, the entire time. Fred, if you hadn't bought that house? Right. You're right. We never know. Never. Never. So how has all of this affected you? It's changed me. It's definitely changed me. You ever angry? I get a little bit upset sometimes. When I find out things that I should have known already, angry at yourself. At myself and at the system because I think that we should have known more. What about the school system? Should have known more. Family? I should have known more. Absolutely. You want the story of slavery told? I want the story of slavery told. It's important. So this is a converted from a door to a window. Yeah. Yeah, so Fred wants to do whatever is necessary to preserve the slave house. You know, this has been exposed for 200 years. He's in the process of setting up a nonprofit to make that possible. That's important to me, too, because I know a whole lot of emphasis on it on that big White House there. Exactly. But this right here is really near and this is the story. This is the story of one, two, three, four, 5, 6, 7, 8. It was 8 right here. And he's been thinking about the cemetery, too. I can imagine this being someone young. We have to do something about the have to. And I will, I'm going to fix it. Do you think you might allow historians to come? Absolutely. Absolutely. This place will be open to anyone who wants to learn. Anyone. Anyone who got here. But for now, sharswood is serving the purpose, Fred bought it for in the first place, gathering the Miller family together in celebration. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you happy birthday. To you. What do you think violet and David would think? They could see that you own this place. I'm hoping they would be proud of us. And I think they would be. They endured a lot. I mean, I can't even imagine what they went through. Looking down on us now. They must be smiling. Since our story first aired, Fred Miller took a new job in Virginia to be closer to his family. He has set up a nonprofit Charles wood foundation to maintain the slave quarters and cemetery, and has begun offering tours of the house. Tonight's stories invited us on a journey to revisit the past. As is true of so many history lessons, our looks at both Charles wood and Canada's residential schools, resurrected painful and shameful eras. But other parts of those stories pointed ways to progress and healing. The late David McCullough, who chronicles so much of our history, wrote, history is who we are and why we are the way we are. We hope tonight's broadcast has helped illuminate some of each. I'm Lesley Stahl, we'll be back next week with another edition of 60 minutes.

"We heard that again and again from members of the Miller family. Slavery wasn't mentioned at all. Was there almost a code we don't talk about slavery so nobody did? It was something that every black person knew you didn't talk about. Your parents would tell you not to discuss grown people business. That's what they'll tell you. The first time slavery was discussed was I guess in the 70s when roots came, the movie roots came about. That's the first time. When roots was on television, did you read about it in school? Not much. His family also remembers roots as pivotal. Yes. I think that's all. That's when we all felt like that was an eye opener. But even after roots, you didn't go and say, what about our family? No. Even that all. What held you back? I didn't think they wanted to talk about it. But didn't you want to know? I would love to have known. I would love to have known. Fred's purchase of Charles wood was about to give him a crash course in his hometown slavery roots. It started with a call from two archeologists who wanted to come do research. Workplace preservationists. And so we start from the idea that these places matter. Dennis pogue once worked at Mount Vernon, Doug Sanford at Monticello. They asked if they could come explore Charles wood. But they weren't interested in the ornate house designed by that famous architect. What they cared about was the dilapidated building with the tin roof past the big oak tree behind it. They suspected it had once been slave quarters. There were once hundreds of thousands of these buildings. These were one of the most common types of architecture in Virginia. Let me give you the running dimensions. But now these buildings are rare with fewer than 1500 believed to be still standing. And pogan Sanford started a project to search for them. So one, two, three, four. Fred and Karen invited them to come investigate. They examined, measured, and searched for clues. You can see the siding is they showed us some of what they found. These are the kind of nails that we expect to see on buildings before 1800. Handmade, rot, nails, handmade. You can actually see the hammer strokes on the head. Is this the original siding? These are remnants of the original sighting. Absolutely. Okay. They worked from noon to dusk and finally gave Karen and Fred their conclusion. It's got a complex history, but we think part of that history, a big part of that history was a quarter for enslaved folks. And then create the they say it's one of the best preserved they've seen. They believe it was originally built in the late 1700s as a house for a white family. That's where the original door was. And was later divided into two separate single room, slave dwellings. Two families. Yeah, one household here, another enslaved household over there. It's just so there was two different worlds. This front big beautiful world here in lavish and you go right behind the house and there was a whole different story. It's kind of crazy for me. Just even walking around out there. Do you own that? Do all the slave house too? I honestly both. I do. That's mine. Wow. Fred Miller's purchase continues to surprise his family and intrigue historians. When Fred Miller unwittingly purchased what he now knows to be the Shah's wood plantation house with slave quarters just behind it. He knew virtually nothing about his own family history. He'd always assumed his ancestors had been enslaved. But it felt to him like an unknowable part of a distant past. Learning about his great grandmother, Sarah Miller, whom his mother had known as a child, peaked his interest. So when he found out her house was still standing just a few miles away from Charles wood. He asked his mother Betty Dixon to go there with him. I will walk down through here. Betty's grandmother's Sarah had been the first of their ancestors to be born into freedom, shortly after the Civil War. No electricity. Betty remembers visiting and spending the night here with her grandmother and cousins. Wow. Well, this is the one little. Sarah's house didn't look much bigger than the slave dwelling. Just a single room with a smaller one above it, and no indoor plumbing. Come a long way, huh? Sure. Glad I don't have to live in here. Well, had to make it work. You want a piece of this wall and people to take with you? Yeah. I hope the landlord don't say nothing. There you go. Sarah Miller is buried in the cemetery of the church, the Miller family still attends. I'm glad that now I can actually come in and see. But unbeknownst to this Miller family, just 5 miles up the road in a different church cemetery, was a tombstone that also read Miller, a far older one, with names Fred and his family had never heard of, but were about to. In Karen's search for information about Charles wood, she found a document that mentioned them. It gave the names of the original owners who was Nathaniel Crenshaw, Miller, and also Charles Edwin Miller, Miller. Yes, Miller and a lightbulb. And he wires connect? No, not at that point. Not at that point, it did not. Others had suspected a connection between the two sets of millers. Because I was telling Dexter back in 88. I no time says he had mentioned the thought to Dexter 30 years ago. What we had been told in high school was that when they freed the slaves, they just took the last name of the person that was there, which was Miller. I just had told a deck, it's a good chance that your ancestors came up with this phone. He did, he said that. So you knew that this was a plantation. I did. Well, Fred, you said you didn't know. I had no idea. Dexter, you didn't tell Fred. I did not tell afraid. I did not tell anyone.

"That once produced more tobacco than any county in the state. We're going to gather in your mainly. Fred Miller grew up here in a close family that likes getting together regularly for birthdays, fish fries, and as his cousin Adam Miller told us just about anything. We play games and we do like a lot of food competitions. I hear the food is mainly cake. Yes. Too many cakes. Fred's cousin Tanya Miller Pope and his sister Deborah Cole's told us it's a big family. Fred's mother Betty and azad Brenda were two of 11. How many cousins? He's behind you. So no wonder Fred needed to find out. Exactly. Bread lives in California, where he works as a civil engineer for the air force, but he visits the family in Virginia often. My sister called me and told me about a big house at the roof for sale. This sister right here. Yes. Karen Dixon Rex Roth, Fred's baby sister, had spotted it. Me and my mom was riding past the house and I saw the first sales sign. I said, oh my goodness, we have to get this house. I call Fred. This house is for sale. He's like, what house? I said, you know the house. Those scary house, I call it. The scary house was less than a mile up the road from their moms. They passed it every day as kids on their way to school. What did you know about sharswood? Absolutely another thing, nothing. I just knew it was a house. A big house. He was debating. Should we put in a bed for it? I said yes, absolutely. Let's do it. Did she twist your arm? That's the goal that's with me so you can do that. I didn't want to buy it. But thinking his bid would be rejected anyway. He made an offer of just above the $220,000 asking price. Why did you think they weren't going to accept the offer? Well, I mean, and this is to me I thought that because I was black the day whenever surely there would never sell us to someone in this bike. So for us to be around this thing, I thought it would never happen. In a million years. So guess what happened? A million years. A million years. Yes. Yes, absolutely. We should always see this house out here. So in May of 2020, Fred Miller purchased the fully furnished house plus ten and a half acres of land from a family called the thompsons who had owned it since 1917 first time I drove up to the place all I can do to stop at the edge of the road, then just look up and amazement. Like, wow, this is my. This is an original room from the 1800s Karen says she got obsessed with the house, spending nights and weekends online, researching its secrets. Hiding spot. They say it was from the Civil War. So they would hide the valuables, secret hiding. She discovered the house had been built around 1850 in the gothic revival style by a well-known New York architect, and she learned and told her family that its name had been Charles wood. Every day she was calling me with new information. I'm like, oh my goodness, okay? Relax. Are you exaggerating? But then Karen turned up something that stunned her. In the 1800s, Charles wood had been the seat of a major 1300 acre plantation, one of the larger ones in the county. What did you think of you owning a plantation? That was a little bit shocked by that, I would say, because I just wanted somewhere to have family gatherings. When I found out that it was a plantation, and then I'm like, okay, Fred, just bought a plantation. I was like, we don't know. It was just a feeling of just power. It was just a powerful feeling. It is. Powerful, but of course, plantation implies slavery, and before the Civil War, Pennsylvania county held more than 14,000 enslaved people. The state of Virginia just under 500,000. I said, do you realize what this is? They didn't have a clue. Dexter Miller, one of Fred and Karen's many second cousins, knew something about Shah's wood because years ago he'd been coworkers with Bill Thompson, whose family then owned it. Bill joined us for a conversation on what used to be his childhood porch. You grew up in this house. I did. This was my home. He inherited much of the farmland and still lives up the road. His sister inherited the house and sold it to Fred. You know, when Fred was buying the house, he did not think that the house would be sold to a black person. Why would you think that for you? Because, you know, we are in rural Virginia, right? Well, this is true. For years, Dexter and another second cousin, Sonya womack Miranda, had been trying to piece together the Miller family's origins. A notoriously difficult task for African Americans because records are hard to come by, especially before 1865. It really was a hobby. It was addictive. It was addicted. It really was. Private eyes. Yes. In the land records. They'd been able to trace the whole Miller clan back to one woman. It's Dexter's great grandmother. It's my great, great grandmother, Sarah. Sarah Miller. Yes. They had found a picture of Sarah Miller. This is Sarah right here. And they gotten hold of her death certificate, which showed that she had been born in pittsylvania county in 1868, just three years after the end of the Civil War. And they found an even better resource. One of their oldest living relatives, a beloved former school teacher named Marion keyes. Miss keyes, as everyone here calls her, recently turned 90. Sarah Miller is the matriarch of the fish. Yes, she was. Did you know her? Yes, I did. Well, tell us about her. She would always be out there with a broom in her hand and then she wouldn't be waiting for us. Marian keyes remembers her great grandmother, Sarah, as a force to be reckoned with. What she wanted you to know, you were going to know it. Was she persnickety? Yes, difficult. Stern. Barry. There, she didn't. She didn't play. She didn't play. But we loved her. But that's where miss key's knowledge of Miller family history ended. She didn't know anything about the generations before Emancipation. When you were growing up, what did you learn or hear from your parents about slavery? Nothing. Nothing, nothing. They did not talk about it. I don't know whether they were afraid whether it was too miserable, or painful, or they wanted to forget it. I don't know, but they did not talk to us about it at all. And we didn't ask them questions about it. Why not? We're afraid to.

My friend will blackman Super Bowl champion with the Giants and obviously NFL cornerback in return specialist. Well, thanks for joining the show. My friend. You forgot to say gracious host. Grace is by grace's co host of my podcast lemon pepper. No, I'm saying, I'm saying, I know where the parties are. I got you. Oh, I was gonna get into that in just a minute. I ask you about the actual game, but you know what? Beat that because you invited me to a party at a vegan. Let me tell you something. This thing was at a mansion four stories high, and a closet will open bar. Why? I mean, wine tasting sections everywhere, will blackman's big into the wine business. Charles Woodson was there Shannon Sharpe was there Warren Moon was there. I'm just over there like, wow, I had no idea what I was walking myself into. I got on Jay's. And if I had known something, I would have packed some shoes. But no, so tell me, tell me how you got involved with that with that installation there. Yeah, so it's called, it's called coronary kick-off and the person who runs it is Chrissy de Las. She's also a hospitality coordinator for my company, the wine MVP. So I partnered, I became a partner for that event. Every year the Super Bowl shows what's in him and his company to partner Marshall park, his company is a partner as well. So yeah, you know, when you say you needed something else that I got you, it took two minutes and boom. There you go. Hey, listen, I know where it goes down, you know? It's all good. Look, Vijay, look, first, the Uber couldn't even take me all the way to the top, okay? I had to get halfway up there. So you have to walk in your head. That's where you got it wrong. They had golf carts waiting to take us up to the top. All right. To take us up to the top. We are rarefied air around here. But will Super Bowl 57 is about to kick off tomorrow. Chief and the eagles, what are your first thoughts on the Super Bowl? My first thoughts are I'm super excited just for this matchup alone. We have two of the best teams from the entire season, two teams that have been on a speed track to get to this championship game. I love the fact that the chiefs, they don't know anything else besides conference championships and super bowls in the past like 5 years and that the eagles put together the most solid roster that you can find in the NFL and plus they have probably the most then school Kong collective quarterback in the entire NFL. So yeah, my initial thoughts, I'm just excited for good. I like good football. This has been a lot of bat ball this year. I like good football. Well, blackman Vijay Vernon husky here, man with Martin, just sitting here thinking about all the great mall backs that I love to enjoy in my life. I'll get your advice on the good mall back later later before we let you go. I want to ask you a question, man, 'cause I always wonder this is just a former football player myself. We're a little over 24 hours from the game. But Saturday, when you were going into that game, tell me 24 hours. It hits about 6 p.m. Eastern Time, 24 hours before the game. What does will blackman think? What is going through your mind? What are you eating? What are you wrestling? What are you doing to prepare for the biggest football game of your life? Honestly, it's like you did all that the two weeks prior, even the week of and then you just get into your routine. So my typical routine was I go down for pregame meal, I get a big bowl of pasta. I may get some chicken or steak that came with it. I get a bottle of wine. I review the film. And I get ready for the game. So for me, it's so hard to make everything normal because you are in a foreign environment. There's a lot of things going on in terms of your media obligations, what have you. But you have to try your best to just keep it simple. And I think number one, coach counselor did a great job of doing so. And then he gave one hell of a pregame speech the night before. And yeah, we just, we just went to bed, we were ready to go. So I want to ask you, are you a defensive guy generally? The defense is in this game are not necessarily talked about as much. We've got two MVP favorites right now hurting mahomes going against each other and that spell out of the focus of the conversation. Defensively on the Kansas City side, you have some very young defensive backs making big plays and conversely for the eagles. Bradbury and slay two veterans back there at the cornerback positions. Who has the edge there? You know what? I'm going to say just Bradbury and slay because the great thing about that secondary and Philadelphia. Is that they are extremely disciplined, you know? And you watch film all year, they're always on the right spot. They're always communicating. And they don't have a lot of football under the belts. You know, the thing that's going for Kansas City is that the young dudes are super confident, like Duffy, Watson, Steve. Those guys are extremely confident, but I'm going to give a lot of credit to the coach bags for being able to put them in position because he has a ton of big game experience with the coordinator. Well, I'll let you go on this one, man. Give me a good ball back, baby. I'm a ball back drinker, you're a wine guy, Charles Woods is one of my favorite football players all the time. I've been trying to get my hands on his wine and I can't get some. Give me a good ball back. Well, then I can relax too tomorrow. Yeah, you did. You should be able to get some intercepts everywhere. $20 a bottle, go get some M1. Go all right, I'm gonna go get me some intercept then. I got you. Yeah. No, but you want container. A lot of container. She's from Argentina, Argentina. Malbec is a business grade from Argentina. Yes. That's what they're known for. So container, a lot of satina, she's incredible. She's a Harvard, she's a Harvard graduate, a doctor, NOI maker. She's like, oh wow, that's triple threat. Yeah, CAT and a. I got you brother. Thank you, man. All right, will blackman first of all, thank you, 'cause that's the first time in my life I ever walked up to a party and I said, Martin Weiss plus four. All right, how about that? In the VIP section. You didn't even need girls for collateral. They just let you in. Exactly. I said, I said, well, black men are red. She's party. They let me watch right in there. Well, thanks for having. Thanks for joining us on Fox Sports radio. Now, we can

"Welcome back to the rich eisen show Susie Schuster in for rich eisen, who is on assignment we were listening to Charles Woods and talk about the tuck rule or we like to call it the victory game and I was just going with you really did and by the way, if you want to watch any old clips of the rich eyes and show go to YouTube, there are everywhere. I would say this is the 21st anniversary of the tuck rule. Or as we like to call it. Another win in New England in the snow. I mean Mike, you have a barfing sound over there. At the anniversary, everybody. Yeah. Do you want to say happy anniversary? Something sounds like a celebrate. Thanks for that win. Love you. That's all. All right, I'll talk to you guys later. See you later. I mean, thanks for the win. That's all I'm gonna say on the 21st anniversary of the talk. Man, thanks, thanks to Willie. Yeah. And I'm pretty happy. In the referees. How old is Adam Vinatieri now? How old is he? And he's still a great shape. Yoked. He's Jack. He checked, right? Yeah. He's still playing. He could come out. Right now. He came with me. Right now? I mean, but it turns the whole frame in my opinion. So sure. So let me ask you a question. Right now. If in a Terry, we're just suddenly show up in the greater Dallas Fort Worth area. What do you think, what's that signal that you're sending as a cowboys guy? Would you be excited? Is this what you're not sweating that? I mean, look, it happened. I don't think it's indicative of Brett's talent or skill level. It's just one of those things. Like, look, that, through a few interceptions, the last few games, you still got to have faith in them, right? I went back and watched the last set of downs for the last game last year. Okay. Richard said, you know, go back and watch that again. He's like, you remember what happened? I said, no, I don't remember what happened yesterday. I went back and watched TJ. Okay, and what did you take away from? That was tough. It was tough. How do you shake that off? But it obviously they don't want a repeat of that again as we head into this weekend. We also learn from your experiences, right? Like I talked about Michael Jordan earlier and obviously Michael Jordan is an anomaly, but it took the pistons kicking like around for a few years for him to get to that next level. I'm just as a fan hoping that what happened last year that loss was so bad and so hurtful that these players remember what happened. I don't ever and another thing is people get on deck, but I'm really loath to knock someone who's hustling and trying to make something happen, which is exactly what that was doing in that situation. Look, he came up short, the clock ran out. I fully expect him to learn from that this offense to learn from that and his team to learn from that. And hopefully they carry that pain from last year's game into the game of the Sunday. Yeah, I mean, Chris, you also watched that play, and it just looked like we're also going to go. I mean, you got to look at the clock. You got to see what's happening, but didn't it look like, well, that would have worked on any other set of downs? Yeah. I think so. I don't know. I think the forty-niners were just better last year. Right. I mean, like I said, if there were 5 more seconds on that clock, who knows what could have happened at work? Maybe. So you got to live with it. But you're hoping that they learn from what happened last year. Of course, two different teams, two different seasons, but different situations. But are they better this year? I think, I mean, obviously both teams are better. I think both teams are a little bit better. Yeah, maybe dak isn't playing as well as he was last year, but he played as well as he's ever played on Monday against Tampa and I think you kind of ride that momentum and see if your defense can kind of rattle a kid who's only played 7 games. I think that's not your hope. And that's the other thing, right? I mean, look, Brooke purdy's been riding the wave right now, right? Things have been going great. At some point though, you would assume that the turbulence is going to have to settle and you're going to hit some turbulence which he doesn't seem like he has. When? I mean, it's got to happen. Or else this kid's the greatest greatest right in the history of football. If he doesn't. We've all played craps and blackjack, right? You ride the wave. When the waves go in and you know it's on, this person's that you know who the shooters hit three or four points in a row. Oh man, I gotta make sure I'm pressing my oh yeah. And I'm cashing in. I bite a TV or two right in one of those a couple of those waves. They win four, 5, 6 hands in a row. Man, I've been doubling up each time so I can really take advantage. But guess what happens? At some point, 7 out at one point, 21, blackjack. I've never played. So it's like. You've never played black. I've never played blackjack. I've never played poker. I've never played the other game you mentioned before. What was it? Craps? Never played it. You were like nope. I have put exactly two quarters into a slot machine. It's never a place kilo behind the school. No. Okay. Nope. My point is. What is your point, Chris? Is that eventually the wave comes to an end? That's what I'm saying. It's a good thing we have Kurt Warner to ask about this since he wouldn't know anything about this situation. And again, like I said, I like to stack my shows with Hall of Famer, so at the top of the next hour we will ask Kurt Warner, what he thinks is going to happen with this crazy ride. Will the dice continue to roll for Brock party? Brock purdy to me. Well, that's the thing is like, you know, again, we have to write the cheesy teases, right? Well, lady luck come to a halt for Brock purdy. Or everyone doing the curb your enthusiasm, it's been pretty pretty pretty good. I mean, last time we did the show, which is like, don't do it. He's like, everyone's already doing it. I said, but it's pretty easy. I watched 9 hours straight, by the way, or 6 hours straight of curb on the plane. Oh, you did. That's pretty great. By the way. Laughing like a hyena the entire time.

"Your back telling you how great you are. You have the Heisman FrontRunner, not to me, but to most people, CJ Stroud from Rancho Cucamonga, California, out here in LA. He is the Heisman FrontRunner. So you got a lot going for you. They have explosiveness all over the field. Marvin Harrison junior, my lord. Goodness, gracious. You talk about having it in your DNA and it just transferred from father to son tent catches today for a buck one 85 didn't have to touchdown, but when you needed him, he was there. And you're going to struggle on the road early, but it's not how you start in football or any other sport in my opinion. It's how you finish. They scored four touchdowns and 6 minutes and 48 seconds in the fourth quarter. And to me, that's a team that you look at and go, okay, you better buckle your chin strap up. You got to play them for 60 minutes. Three and a half quarters is not going to get that done. They both were stupid for going for field goals early in the game anyway. But Penn State was even more stupid because you're inside the red zone. Take the three and I thought that started the kind of turn the game a little bit like you're kind of telling your team you don't think you can really hang with them. Not to cut you off. But in a game where you're hanging in a game where you're hanging with them. Again, when you're hanging with them so I understand if you are down 14 to three, the first quarter. Of course. Okay, go, go, go, but that wasn't the case. You had turned the ball over twice. In your own territory, then guess what? Ball games still on. And not only that, that field goal makes it 17 to 13, and then Ohio State gets the ball and goes down. They kick a field goal. It would have made it 16 to 17, but instead you're now down 1614 and you already have as shock would say the type of coach that's gonna master of panic. Like James Franklin panic today. Like severely panic and he didn't even get out coach, because I don't think Ohio stays coaching staff did that great of a job. Those kids in the field. That was a Jimmy and Joe's win today. Yeah, that was kids on the field today that buckle up the shoulder pads and snap on the chin straps, man. They thoroughly impressed. I took the phantom of VJ Vernon husky to big vanilla funny out of it and I watched it as a football guy in an analyst and I literally shook my head and I said out loud. That's respectable, right? I like that. I can't front. That impressed me. So the first time in my life, I was impressed with the Ohio State football program today. How you like that Buckeye fans? I was impressed. I'm giving it to y'all. That was a really, really good one. Now, I think CJ Stroud slipped a little. I know the numbers are going to look a certain way. If you watch the game, you know, CJ, Bryce young, the door just open for you, handing hooker, the door is open for you. Max dugan, the door just opened for you a little bit, 'cause that wasn't the best performance by him, but thoroughly impressed. And just with TJ real quick. Two interceptions, he committed, he was part of four turnovers. He held calls for turnovers, had a pick 6. I mean, like I said, man, I haven't seen some of that down in a minute from a defensive player at happy valley in the game. That big says Charles Woods in 1998, I was thoroughly impressed. Yeah, no, I mean, he was excellent. He was exceptional and I think probably him in that long run the trevion Henderson had in the fourth quarter really set this game apart. That was blocked very well. That's tied in took out two guys, man. That was blocked. Yeah, well, he's a Sunday guy too. This is something that guy too. I can't represent his number 8. And he had another, he had another hit a penalty in the end zone that ended up costing him a push in Ohio State back. But his ability on the edge. He was really moves guys around. And he's a Sunday guy. Yeah, I like him a lot, but he's a good game, man. But I have to agree with you on the CJ, what's his name? CJ Stroud. She's just out. Midway through the fourth quarter. Who's just talking about Joel Clinton Gus Johnson on the call? Hey, one of my favorite college football broadcasts was the best team. Midway through. He's like, wait a minute. CJ Stroud doesn't have a touchdown. Exactly. And then at the end of the game, he was like, remember when I said she just tried to have touched down, well, look at this. But that speaks to the point of the midway through the third quarter, it's like, hey, which one of y'all is going to put us on the back? Bryce young has been putting Alabama on his back. Yeah. In moments like that, you know what I'm saying? So it's interesting. Now, max Duggar from TCU. Ah, man. All right, they keep winning. He keeps throwing the ball like this. But ultimately, at this point, I'm still arriving with my boy. My boy hindon hooker. Well, we're going to see hinden hooker's got to go to Athens. You got to go in between the hedges next Saturday. So don't forget we got to do this Saturday too. I understand that, but I think they're fine against Kentucky tonight at home. But going into the hedges is just a whole different animal which Richardson and the Gators are finding out, even though the games in Jacksonville, I get it, but just playing that Georgia defense and just to even flip on that game for a second. All that talent they lost. Would they have 8 or 9 starters drafted in the NFL? And all they do is just put more dominant defensive players on the field. Kirby smart, guys. He's not a defensive minded guy by accident. You know what I'm saying? Like, you don't win. This ain't the prize that the church bingo on a Saturday afternoon. This is who he is. He could coach defense and get players. All you need is the recruits. You coach him up. They become stars and they handle their business on Saturdays

"It was the genealogy equivalent of a smoking gun. So this is proof that violet Sarah's mother was enslaved by the NC Miller. Yes. And this is absolute proof. This is absolute definite proof. And you were able to tell Karen that her ancestors, David and violet, were enslaved at Charles wood. That was tough. So did you call Fred? I did. I don't think he believed me in them again. So the connection suddenly is made your family slavery. Right. And this house. And you own it. Once I realized that it was actually my blood, that was here, it took on a whole new meaning for me. It really sends me some time when I, you know, and I'm a lot of times I'm up. I was at a night and I'm just thinking about what happened here. As news spread through the family, there was sadness. But that's not all there was. I almost felt like I was losing my breath for a moment. It was almost like a feeling of being found. Yes. This is where I started. And as black people, we don't always know where we started. So here we are sitting in this house. I can't believe it. But I'm in the plantation house. Plantation that my family was enslaved. You're laughing as if this can not be. That's right. But it is. I felt I felt complete. Wow. I'm not half of a human being anymore. They make me whole. Even if I don't know them, I felt a connection to them at Charles wood. I heard the tree. And I said, oh my God, you was here when my ancestor was here. I wonder which ancestor reminds us to trade. I didn't know what to say or do. I just hugged the tree.

"And then create the they say it's one of the best preserved they've seen. They believe it was originally built in the late 1700s as a house for a white family. That's where the original door was. And was later divided into two separate single room, slave dwellings. Two families. Yeah, one household here, another enslaved household over there. It's just so that was two different worlds. This front big, beautiful world here, and lavish, and you go right behind the house and there was a whole different story. It's kind of crazy for me. Just even walking around out there. Do you own that? Do all the slave house too? I honestly both. I do. That's mine. Wow. Fred Miller's purchase continues to surprise his family and intrigue historians when we come back. When Fred Miller unwittingly purchased what he now knows to be the Charles wood plantation house with slave quarters just behind it. He knew virtually nothing about his own family history. He'd always assumed his ancestors had been enslaved, but it felt to him like an unknowable part of a distant past. Learning about his great grandmother, Sarah Miller, whom his mother had known as a child, peaked his interest. So when he found out her house was still standing, just a few miles away from Charles wood. He asked his mother, Betty Dixon, to go there with him. We're going to walk down through here. Betty's grandmother Sarah had been the first of their ancestors to be born into freedom, shortly after the Civil War. No electricity. Betty remembers visiting and spending the night here with her grandmother and cousins. Wow. This is the one room. Sarah's house didn't look much bigger than the slave dwelling. Just a single room with a smaller one above it, and no indoor plumbing. Come a long way, huh? Sure. Glad I don't have to live in here. Well, had to make it work. You want a piece of this wallpaper to take with you? Yeah. I hope the landlord don't say nothing. There you go. Sarah Miller is buried in the cemetery of the church, the Miller family still attends. I'm glad that now I can actually come in and see. But unbeknownst to this Miller family, just 5 miles up the road in a different church cemetery, was a tombstone that also read Miller a far older one with names Fred and his family had never heard of, but were about to. In Karen search for information about Charles wood, she found a document that mentioned them. It gave the names of the original owners who was Nathaniel Crenshaw, Miller, and also Charles Edwin Miller. Miller. Yes, Miller, any lightbulb. Any wires connect? No, not at that point. Not at that point, it did not.

"She would always be out there with a broom in her hand and then she wouldn't be waiting for us. Marian keyes remembers her great grandmother, Sarah, as a force to be reckoned with. What she wanted you to know, you were going to know it. Was she persnickety? Yes, difficult. Stern. Very very. She didn't, she didn't play. She didn't play. But we loved her. But that's where miss key's knowledge of Miller family history ended. She didn't know anything about the generations before Emancipation. When you were growing up, what did you learn or hear from your parents about slavery? Nothing. Nothing, nothing. They did not talk about it. I don't know whether they were afraid whether it was too miserable, or painful, or they wanted to forget it. I don't know, but they did not talk to us about it at all. And we didn't ask them questions about it. Why not? We're afraid to. We heard that again and again from members of the Miller family. Slavery wasn't mentioned at all. Was there almost a code we don't talk about slavery so nobody did? It was something that every black person knew you didn't talk about. Your parents would tell you not to discuss grown people business. That's what they'll tell you. The first time slavery was discussed was I guess in the 70s when roots came, the movie roots came about. That's the first time. When roots was on television, did you read about it in school? Not much. His family also remembers roots as pivotal. Yes. I think that's all. That's when we all felt like that was an eye opener. But even after roots, you didn't go and say, what about our family? No. Even that all. What held you back? I didn't think they wanted to talk about it. But didn't you want to know? I would love to have known. I would love to have known. Fred's purchase of Charles wood was about to give him a crash course in his hometown slavery roots. It started with a call from two archeologists who wanted to come do research. WordPress Doric preservationists. And so we start from the idea that these places matter. Dennis pogue once worked at Mount Vernon, Doug Sanford at Monticello. They asked if they could come explore Charles wood. But they weren't interested in the ornate house designed by that famous architect. What they cared about was the dilapidated building with the tin roof past the big oak tree behind it. They suspected it had once been slave quarters. There were once hundreds of thousands of these buildings. These were one of the most common types of architecture in Virginia. Let me give you the running dimensions. But now these buildings are rare with fewer than 1500 believed to be still standing. And pogan Sanford started a project to search for them. So one, two, three, four. Fred and Karen invited them to come investigate. They examined measured and searched for clues. You can see the siding is they showed us some of what they found. These are the kind of nails that we expect to see on buildings. Before 1800, handmade, rot, nails, handmade. You can actually see the hammer strokes on the head. Is this the original siding? These are remnants of the original sighting. Absolutely. Okay. They worked from noon to dusk and finally gave Karen and Fred their conclusion. It's got a complex history, but we think part of that history, a big part of that history was a quarter for enslaved folks.

"Did you think of you owning a plantation? That was a little bit. A little shocked by that, I would say, because I just wanted somewhere to have family gathering. When I found out that it was a plantation, and then I'm like, okay, Fred, just bought a plantation. I was like, we don't know. Oh my God. It was just a feeling of just power. It was just a powerful feeling. It is. Powerful, but of course, plantation implies slavery, and before the Civil War, Pennsylvania county held more than 14,000 enslaved people. The state of Virginia just under 500,000. I said, do you realize what this is? They didn't have a clue. Dexter Miller, one of Fred and Karen's many second cousins, knew something about Charles wood because years ago he'd been coworkers with Bill Thompson, whose family then owned it. Bill joined us for a conversation on what used to be his childhood porch. You grew up in this house. I did. This was my home. He inherited much of the farmland and still lives up the road. His sister inherited the house and sold it to Fred. You know, when Fred was buying the house, he did not think that the house would be sold to a black person. Why would you think that for you? Probably because, you know, we are in rural Virginia, right? Well, this is true. For years, Dexter and another second cousin, Sonya womack Miranda, had been trying to piece together the Miller family's origins, a notoriously difficult task for African Americans because records are hard to come by, especially before 1865. It really was a hobby. It was addictive. It was addicted. It really was. Private eyes. Yes. In the land records. They'd been able to trace the whole Miller clan back to one woman. It's Dexter's great grandmother. It's my great, great grandmother, Sarah. Sarah Miller. Yes. They had found a picture of Sarah Miller. This is Sarah right here. And they gotten hold of her death certificate, which showed that she had been born in pittsylvania county in 1868, just three years after the end of the Civil War. And they found an even better resource. One of their oldest living relatives, a beloved former school teacher named Marion keyes. Miss keyes, as everyone here calls her, recently turned 90. Sarah Miller is the matriarch of the fish. Yes, she was. Did you know her? Yes, I did. Well, tell us about her.

meeting with leaders from the nuclear industry today to discuss how to speed the progress of new projects he may also meet with bosses from the wind sector and coming days stepping up alternative energy sources has become a priority as soaring oil and gas prices worse than the cost of living crisis Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than a 120 countries I'm Hannah George this is Bloomberg Anna Hannah thanks very much Let's get to more on that conversation around the search for alternative energy because here in the UK the government is expected to unveil its energy security plan this month in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine so what does the future of energy look like in the UK That's the issue that you and pots and Caroline Hepburn explored on a special episode of Bloomberg Westminster I think there are a lot of different measures that the treasury can take This is a global crisis So it is not something that is within the control of the market The prices are surging across the world It's a very difficult situation and as you noted there have been a lot of supplier failures that have happened in the recent months with about 26 failures failures since August So this is a critical point for the industry the sector is quite fragile So we would like to see some support for suppliers but at the same time we'll start off with what needs to happen on builds The first thing that should happen is a consideration of some of the government costs that are put on to build So BAT for example that's 5% of the bill And they would save about 90% sorry 90 pounds per customer under the new price cap coming in April above and beyond that There's about 15% of the typical domestic energy builders made up of social environmental obligations based on suppliers by the government Government could mitigate some of those rising energy bills either on a temporary or permanent basis by funding some of these policies through general taxation It's really important that we don't scrap those policies because they are really vital to protecting vulnerable customers and to our net zero targets So we have to make sure that they are still paid for But taking that burden off of consumers would take a further a 188 pounds off of the next April price cap This is already being consulted on in order to prevent some of the distortions that happen between electricity and gas And to support heat decarbonization But it's a question of can we do that faster There are also some parts of the sector that do make a considerable profit So there are about 25% of the energy bill is network costs and networks that make a regulated profit So there's consideration of can we discount some of that regulated profit Can we do something to funnel that towards consumers in order to aid them And then in terms of supporting specifically vulnerable consumers increasing existing support schemes is really important and government needs to do that quite quickly and looking at the warm homes discount Household support fund and potential for new social tariffs as well So there's quite a few things that government can do And all of those have been kind of yeah so they've all been widely discussed those issues around vat the green levies the warm homes funds But another one that has also been flagged significantly is the idea of a windfall tax on oil and gas profits Is the industry expecting that from the Chancellor how much would it help do you think We don't know whether or not the chance that we will do that it seems fairly unlikely but in the case that they do how much it will help it depend entirely on the scale of that windfall tax it depends on how it is attributed as well If it is just a blanket blanket refund to consumers that will be less effective than targeted support for vulnerable consumers But every consumer is going to suffer more in terms of cost of energy Because the cost is simply rising So it's completely down to how the Chancellor does it and what scale they do that at That was Charles wood I should have mentioned that was Charles wood deputy
