*Эта держава канула в вечность, как легендарная Атлантида. Гибель нашей великой цивилизации стала трагедией планетарного масштаба, сравнимой лишь с падением Римской Империи. Наша страна👉 **ua-cam.com/video/IpBdb7oK050/v-deo.html** не просто уничтожена и разграблена врагами, но посмертно оболгана, обесчестена, утоплена в грязи. Однако чем дальше мы от ☭Советской эпохи, тем более очевидной становится простая истина: ☭СССР был не Империей зла, а потерянным раем светлого прошлого. Нынешней молодёжи трудно поверить, что такое вообще возможно - бесплатные медицина и образование, уровень преступности в десятки раз ниже, чем в современной Эрэфии🇷🇺. Огромный авторитет на международной арене, подкреплённой феноменальной экономической и военной мощью, передовая наука и промышленность, а главное - самоуважение ☭советского человека, гордость за свою страну, осознание себя гражданином не "сырьевого придатка" Запада🇺🇸🇬🇧 и Китая🇨🇳 как сейчас, а ведущей сверхдержавы. Вот уже 30 лет мы проедаем и проматываем это великое наследство (нынешняя РФ🇷🇺 всё ещё существует лишь благодаря грандиозным запасам, оставшимся от ☭Советской эпохи) - и до сих пор не исчерпали до дна. И если бы этот огромный задел был использован не для обогащения кучки иуд и ворья, а для нового рывка в грядущее - каких высот, какого могущества достигла бы сегодня наша ☭Родина? Ответа на этот вопрос нам не узнать уже никогда, но ясно одно: тридцать лет назад мы были гораздо ближе к достойной жизни и светлому будущему, чем теперь…*
What a great documentary. I definitely forgot i wasn't watching a music documentary until Jarvis started talking about little rock. Such a fascinating story and no doubt can take up a feature length.
This was a moving documentary, and I feel honored to have seen it and to be apart of the communist party.
The Soviet Union was a political Black Hole, from where only by a miracle the lucky ones could escape to the Free World. The Soviet Union was a closed society, from where it was impossible to hear the cry of millions of people who were tortured and shot there or kept in crazy houses for many years. An African-American Robert Robinson, at the age of 23, left the United States for the sake of well-paid work in the Soviet Union, and also in order to avoid oppression by racial feature. www.forumdaily.com/en/chernyj-o-krasnyx-kak-afroamerikanec-44-goda-prozhil-v-sssr/ My story is very similar to Robert Robinson www.amazon.com/Escape-Paradise-Russian-Dissidents-Journey/dp/168053484X?fbclid=IwAR23Nno2Af8PnQFN8h8ov_fsHyu7H0IvCon2JN3Y7XkpqSpUBwlQuwobWZI Escape from USSR ua-cam.com/video/ogEPfw6C09w/v-deo.html
Go me
A fascinating short documentary. Hearing about the Tyner family growing up in Philadelphia and learning about the musical inclination of both Messieurs Jarvis and McCoy Tyner leads one to wonder about their connections to the families of others who would emerge as professional musicians by the middle or late 1950s, like John Coltrane, Archie Shepp, and Lee Morgan. The still image of May Place reminded me of the McCoy Tyner composition "May Street," which I recall being recorded on his "Time for Tyner" LP on the Blue Note label back in 1968. Thank goodness nothing happened to McCoy Tyner's hands during his formative years, lest we'd never hear "May Street" and dozens of other original McCoy Tyner compositions! Jarvis Tyner is an American icon. If there is ever a sequel to "Eyes on the Prize," he should be one of the featured persons.

this was so cool, but just wanna know if you needed any permit to shoot in coney island?
+Afanlynness You don't need a permit to shoot on streets as long as your shooting with less than 3 people
He is so compassionate and genuine, not the least to mention intelligent and articulate and I agree with the lions share of what he has to say, though there are a couple points where our opinions diverge.
Thanks Oliver I appreciate your comment. I would be interested in hearing where our opinions might differ. Thanks again
Jarvis Tyner This is a long response, but there was alot you mentioned that I wanted to touch on. Adding onto your argument that racism against people of color hurts whites how many people who might have otherwise became teachers, or doctors or inventors never did so because their is an indifference to failing schools in poor neighborhoods, whether they be in urban neighborhoods serving blacks and latinos, on the reservations serving native americans, or in depressed rural/formerly industrial towns serving poor whites. What things could have been? A country and world with less poverty and more opportunity, a vaccine or cure for HIV, a new biofuel or a more efficient solar panel? Also on the topic of the naive leisse fair belief that here in America we live in a perfect capitalist system and if a person puts in the hard work they will rewarded with success! guaranteed! Given the state of disadvantage that people of color were in immediately prior to the end of segregation 50 years ago, hypothetically if the USA had the theoretical “perfect capitalist system” that always rewarded hard work with financial success, even if people of color did work just as hard as whites they would still be poorer today on average than whites because of how far behind they were when everyone started that race. There is another argument to fight the “Minorities just don’t want to work hard they just want handouts” duphises with. Moving on to your analysis of Mayor Bloomberg’s stop and frisk policy, I want to make a fine distinction of language. Bloomberg and his police chief indeed characterised the poor Black and Latin neighborhoods as being “criminal neighborhoods”, implying Blacks and Latins are criminal peoples which you called racism which may be true but it could also be the only marginally less malicious rearing head of ethnocentrism, the “different people, different values” justification for locking people up en masse and not putting more money into public schools, food pantries/soup kitchens, homeless shelters, health care generally including addiction counseling ,conflict resolution through peaceful means programs, and job training/jobs programs, and other initiatives like gun buyback programs, giving people something they do need for something they don’t. Also while the program certainly does treat everyone living in the neighborhood like a suspect in a crime, turning innocent until proven guilty on it’s head, using the fourth amendment and its prohibitions of unreasonable search and seizure for toilet paper, and contributing to a feeling of a community under siege, that feeling may not have been the outright goal of the initiative, but rather acceptable collateral damage given the color of the skin of the people affected and the light weight of their wallets that sadly the courts have by and large allowed. Also finally you were saying how if we can unite various movements we will defeat the current agenda the far right has, the future isn’t set, if we assume that victory is certain, I think some of the urgency to act now is lost, but given how in the thick of all these different thing you are, you are probably the one of the last activists in the country that needs to be reminded of this. ;)

Great video, thank you for making and uploading it! It really speaks about true education and fulfilled children.
This is very well done, and very timely! Send it to your congressperson, with a note that this is what you'd like education policy to be reflecting, not test-score gaming and teacher blaming.
