When the neighborhood was flipped were the properties sold for far less than market value? What catastrophe led to the neighborhood being flipped? People don't leave econmically stable environments. Has the man who lives in the home had it designated as a historic landmark? Now that the woman shared her story with him and corraborated it seems the candidacy is likely. Would the property value of the home increase if it were designated as a historic land mark? I could see that being an attractive asset for commercial use in the future and since this documentary is old the future is now. Did the woman's family ever own the home? If so did the man sell the home back to the woman?
This is all the more reason why black people should be doggedly driven by education-skill training and industriousness. We really must shift away from entertainment. The we have produced too much of it already.
Great mini documentary. I wish it was longer. Professor Zuberi and Professor Anderson were very informative. At the end of the doc, they seem to have almost all White artist painting a mural about Black people/history. What's wrong with this picture? From 9:18 to 9:30 in the video they talk about the paucity of Blacks in the construction industry, but in the same video a mural being painted dedicated to the Black people of Philly did not include many Black artists. How ironic is that?
It's time to stop reading history books and start reading science books. We have a continent to develop and we haven't begun to do it! We all know where we came from. If we dont developed Africa then stop complain about treatment!
Washington wanted to wait for the vote because he saw the education level of the majority of blacks at that time. He wanted black society to grow like all other societies do: industry and labor, then intellectual gains. Stone, Bronze, then writing. Garvey wanted to demand rights but didn't realize respect is earned not given.
There's much to understand about Dubois. He didn't believe in one class rather of Black people and he utilized his paper The Crisis to destroy Black organizations that didn't follow his blue print. One such person was Marcus Garvey
@pearlsnaredrummer77 Precisely . He also didn't help himself by meeting with the KKK and he made himself a target of the authorities which was why he was deported. Garvey didn't help his chances in society.
Organizations that are now serving the corporate empire and state department. They deserved destroying. The NAACP now celebrates Ford, McDonald's, Boeing, Walmart etc because they hire a few dark skinned people to serve them in high places. They celebrate dark skinned men serving in the same military that has slaughtered indigenous peoples for hundreds of years. Slaughtered millions of people. If you want to fall into place and hire Timothy Geithner you can be a "black president" also
Definitely not a study of race. If you believe that you are different from other people. then you have already lost mentally. Physically yes, diversity is beautiful, and apparently the universe/God agree with me.
We have different lineages. Those who do not want black Americans who descend from slavery that occurred in this country to acknowledge our lineage do so to undermine us.
@@beforeyourimmigrants8471 your lack of ability to clearly articulate yourself, takes away from any message you were trying to send. Also calling yourself black, shows lack of understanding. We are African.

Yes!
Absolutely beautiful, the mural with the Miss Veronica James....gave me happy tears.
I'm in the midst of reading that book now. It's giving me a great education regarding DuBois' research methods.
Beautiful. Tears came to my eyes.
All I can say is WOW! Oh and I just bought the book. ❤️🖤💚👊🏾
This is beautiful and elegant, expression of This man?
Well done. What the world needs most is kindness among all men.

I came here to learn more about DuBois, now I'm side tracked on another tab about Condom Kingdom.
Its a waste of time. Don't get sidetracked by consumerism.

The people that you see making that mural most likely were caught writing on walls and are doing community services.
Nice.

We never confronted Crack, the poison that makes you want more.

Jim Crow didn't allow blacks to grow and had to be fought.

Wrong.

5:58 this is why he became "radical" and confronted Booker T Washington approach that he initially followed.
