As America continues to observe Black History Month, it's hard to believe there are still people alive today who had a parent born into slavery. One of the few left is 89-year-old Daniel Smith, whose father was born the property of a White man.
CBS News' chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford spoke with Smith about his incredible story, which reflects the arc of race relations in America — from slavery to civil rights activism, and the fight to end systemic discrimination.
The messages that Smith heard from his father — a freed slave, a survivor, the strongest of the strong — are similar to what many other children of freed slaves heard from their parents.
"We are survivors," Smith told Crawford in an interview that aired Wednesday on "CBS Mornings."
His father, Abram, was born into bondage in Virginia in the early 1860s. He was 70 when his youngest son, Smith, was born. Smith remembers how his father used to tell him stories about the inhumanity their ancestors suffered and survived.

Сын (живой!) настоящего чернокожего раба, освобожденного ещё Линкольном (!!!) рассказывает о том, как его папа в детстве ему рассказывал о рабстве (!!). Это как если бы какой-нибудь россиянин рассказывал о том, как его батю освободил Алексаедр Второй от крепостного права.
