This hits deep. My grandparents raised all their children in Kinloch & the grandkids in Berkeley. We love our cities & their history. Thank u for showing this. ❤

Went to school in the Ferguson-Florissant district in the 80s and 90s. I always remember how proud kids were to be from Kinloch, Robinson, and Berkeley. I think I went to HS with a couple people on this doc. As a kid, I always felt so bad for how early they had to get up to ride the bus. That extra 45-60 minutes robbed these kids of time that could have been spent with their friends or family. Had friends from Frost and a buddy who moved to Kinloch. Rough neighborhoods, but never had any serious issues personally when I hung out there. Very good documentary, really emphasizes the social-economic divide of people and greedy corporations- thanks for making.

Excellent Job! So many memories watching this.

@@AlanaMarie Thank you for making this documentary, this story really needed telling on behalf of Kinloch and the many other beautiful black spaces that experienced calculated erasure.

The neighborhood was probably contaminated by the radioactive waste dumped at the airport land from the Manhattan Project. I’m sorry to say. I got to meet Kinloch kids at Combs Elemetary in 76-80. I am glad to have had their friendships. It was so segregated in St Louis County. It was worse than NC. We could not be friends outside of school. I actually lived on Suburban Ave in Like 81. i was told not to go past a certain street. I didn’t even know the next street was Kinloch. I’m sorry this was normalized.

Great Doc. I remember going to daycare at one of the churches in kinloch and that staff did not play but they took great care of us. I remember asking my mom why did she take us out. Come to find out the church was bought out and demolished not long after. Also I would love to see this documentary on Netflix this definitely needs more recognition.

Beautiful Job Alana the best move that was made right here on the Tube .These stories are hitting hard

You witnessed the journey friend ❤

I love this. I was born in my grannyhouse in 1960 as a child growing up, I loved Kinloch it was a safe haven until our parents moved us to Los Angeles in 1971. I was 12 years old. This is history

You did a beautiful job with this documentary! I have shared this with my Daddy, aunt and cousins..all from Kinloch! Well done young lady! 🥳🥳

I'm really hoping that this dialogue brings more attention to Kinloch. My thesis research from college was based with Kinloch in mind. I came up with an urban design plan for Kinloch back in 2018. I shared it with as many people as I could in hopes that something great would come from it.

prayerfully renovation comes to fruition if we keep kinloch story at the top of people's mind

Such a great documentary. Very informing, being born in the 90’s, I had no idea of the history of Kinloch. Thank you for this!

Excellent Job Mrs. Marie, Great documentary.

Beautiful job! This needs to be seen and this history cannot be forgotten.

Absolutely good documentary. I grew up in the 90s on the back side of Kinloch bordering Berkeley/Cool Valley. My childhood home was also demolished by the airport. Such a very important part of history. Thank you for sharing.

Great doc.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🤛🏿

unfortunately, this happens all too often and we need to be on guard of our sacred spaces

Thank you for taking the time to put these historical events out there. We love and support you!

Keep the comments and the dialogue going. Thank you for this film (and everyone that made this possible).This is important. We can no longer stand by in celebrate black history while also allowing black history to be erased. Is this only on here for a limited time!???

Excellent Production. Thank you for preserving the our history.

Really good job! I lived through so much of this. The story is spot on!

This documentary is well done!! I did the Sankofa Tour alongside this video today for the FergFlor School District… thank you for this.

I grew up in Berkeley. This story saddens me. Big corporations always come in and destroy black communities. My dad moved us to Orange Mound, TN (Memphis) another historic black community in 1993. Thank you for highlighting Kinloch.

Home sweet home!

Amazing job on this documentary, but definitely a sin and a shame what happened to Kinloch. Let's all do our part to not let history repeat itself.

Popcorn ready 🍿
