I went to Walton Jr. High and Compton High. Used to swim at Compton High in the summer. Used to be able to walk up Caldwell all the way from Central past Wilmington through the Richland Farms across the canal to Alameda. Used to walk up Greenleaf through the cemetery up Central, and down Caldwell to the hole.
Wow I'm just saying thank you for this evening powerful broadcast/video essay/doc is indeed in my opinion truth be told the truth and food for thought. Again thank you for your deep point of view.

Cute thumbnail. Story behind that Is a young Marilyn Monroe used to love hitting the jazz clubs on Central with Ella Fitzgerald.. She also like kickin it with the brothas.😉. However, once her white Jewish producers caught wind, they shut that shit down.. The rationale was if she wanted to be a big star/ Heart throb, especially to "Middle America" she couldn't be associated with the "black and tan" club scene. Marilyn was actually a good person who came from a rough background. She just got caught up later.

Ok another comment lol... My pops worked for Wilt on the Lakers, then he went to McDonald's Douglas in the 80s until they got bought out and other family worked at Northrop
I used to drive limos. I drove Kevin Costner for 4 days, during the Golden Globes week in 2013. From the time I picked him up, through the 4 days of driving him, he was down to earth and a good dude. We talked about childhood and I told him I'm from Watts. He started laughing, and said, "We're homeboys, I was born in Compton in 1956."
Yeah my uncle is from Alabama, my mom's side, originally. He used to call us Rooster lol. And I remember someone said you from Compton but you sound country a little bit.
'Tennis Shoe pimp' was a 'humorous' insult. It referred to wearing cheap athletic shoes, in 'my' set; especially with dress clothes. Converse 'Chuck Taylors' were acceptable @ that time in 'some' cases!!
P.s the gangs messed up alot of business,the hood etc sad but true even when the Blood and Crip movement over here on the East coast it was pretty much game over💯.
Solid interview ✊🏿

It wasn't the drugs alone it was jobs leaving first.
Very true it was a planned combination of events
