[Music] It is my honor, uh, to present, uh, this uh, remains to you. Being able to hold that piece of his body that he couldn't own for himself, we'll be able to treat it with the respect and honor that is due. That we're going to be able to give him the burial that he deserves.

We're here representing, mhm, the generations before us. We're just messengers, sure. [Music] Mhm. Brethren, I pray you sing a new song. Sing praise in the assembly of the righteous. Thank you for giving him back to us and for letting us take him [Music] home. Bless, oh God, as only you can, and continue the legacy that you began with Reverend N. Turner.

I hope that people recognize it for what it is, a really significant, uh, step in acknowledging a part of our history that has been, uh, to a large degree, intentionally [Music] dismissed. [Music] Having this piece of Nat Turner's body to bury and to treat as a man is a huge blessing for us because it will be significant to all of those families who don't have the bones of their ancestors.

It's time to celebrate him, and I cannot wait for us to be as a group, as a family, so we can do that. You know, I hope that he is looking down and I hope that he's proud of [Music] us individuals. How many years out of slavery are now owning oil wells that are producing 2,000 barrels a day? Is that not the ultimate American dream?
