Life was just So different back then. Music and Dancing were very important to us.
Yes, let’s vote for people who said Joe Biden was a sharp guy and who would be the candidate, then replaces him when times get tough and his record catches up with him. Let’s vote for Kamala who was the border czar, did nothing, and who in re-written history isn’t the border czar. Let’s vote for people who called the 2016 Presidential victor a side effect of Russian disinformation, then created a scam based on that lie while winning a presidential election via changing voting deadlines, stuffing mail boxes, not counting some votes and counting the votes of illegals, the dead and the unregistered. Let’s vote for the people who get in people’s faces while they’re in restaurants or at their private home, fire people for not getting vaccinated while allowing people to burn down cities in peaceful protests, try to jail their opposition and then try to assassinate him. Let’s vote for people who calls anyone who disagrees with them a sexist, then can’t define a woman. Let’s vote for people who call anyone who disagrees with them a racist, then tells people ‘you ain’t black’ if you don’t vote for them, then gives free hotel and healthcare to illegal aliens, then runs an Indian as president and calls her black.
Too bad the Melrose got bought by a scumbag owner who knocked it down. “Everybody who knows, goes, to Melrose!” I miss the Melrose so bad.
Thank you and thumbs up.
Thank you and thumbs up for the free program. Have a nice day. Dallas Sucks!
Yeah, Rizzo was tough. But look where we are now. Are city is falling apart due to this woke culture. The drugs are so deadly and they do nothing to drug dealers in fear of be called racist or police brutality
We’re watching the Phil’s collapse again 60 years later.
That label in New York was Musicor.
Racist never see themselves as such. They're just going along with or keeping things the way they ought to be. Likewise, they always have ... pets. Some favorites that meet some perverse standard of egalitarian deportment. On the other hand, those sycaphants enjoy the benefits of proximity to power and reflected glory. As long as they dont fly too close to the sun, they are safe at best or, at the very least, they'll be eaten last .
The threads hes wearing looks familiar...way ahead of his time
You still have Rocky 😂

HISTORY IS A LIE. RESEARCH OLD WORLD TARTARIA. HISTORY = HIS STORY.
Great to see Chas. Hardy here, excellent historian.
African American was created by Jessie Jackson and friends in the late 80s. All black people in Philadelphia at this time weren't African.
A great injustice that he is not in MLB Hall of Fame. Shame on all those with votes that has passed him by. Richie Allen played first baseman, third baseman and left fielder in his HOF (non-elected) career. He died on December 7, 2020 at the age of 78.
How could the Phillies in 1964 not have won a World Series in eighty years, when the first one wasn't played until 1903? Someone who narrated this video obviously didn't do their (math) homework.......
HISTORY IS A LIE. RESEARCH OLD WORLD TARTARIA. HIS-STORY
History is a lie (his-story). These buildings were built by the previous civilization. Its all bullshit.
Great lady. Met Ernesta when I worked for Councilman Thacher Longstreth. She called City Hall often. She deeply care about Fairmount Park. Later I worked on several projects with her. I use to joke with her that she sounded like a law firm. They don't make women like Drinker Ballard anymore.
Every black person in Philadelphia wasn't from Africa.
yeah, ok....blame it on the White guy....k? k
Bob Horn was the original host of Bandstand not Dick Clark. Penn Center was in the works as far back as the 1920s.and the first improvements were opened by 1930. However the Depression and WW2 had put the brakes on the work until Joe Clark.
It amazes me how ppl who comes in on boats just loves to take over... thank God for Time because it brings changes
I'm from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and it's always had been a rivalry between Philly and Pittsburgh. I've never been to Philly and I love Pittsburgh. But I'm here to tell you need to stop the killings. What disturbed me about a lot of this conversation is they label us as black and it truly disturbs my spirit. I'm a Afro-American. What the hint of esthetic in the end? Indian Cherokee and also we are the Hebrew nation. So black is not a race that is a devoragatory word. Yeshua is coming back soon repent repent except Jesus as your lord and personal savior repent if you reject Jesus you accept the mark of the beast which is the digital ID so repent please repent the kingdom of God is at hand repent repent
Stay in Pittsburgh.

CRUM BUM
“A lot of people were skeptical of doctors.” No wonder!😮
Andrew Jackson was the true hero of the story but he lost.
Warren was escaping while handcuffed. You left that out. Let us see what else you left out.
RIP Geator😢
I worked 4 mural arts even before it was called mural arts
The Pennsylvania Gradual Emancipation Act was enacted before the Constitution of the United States was adopted, but it was not the beginning of the American anti-slavery movement. The movement is rooted in the Quaker and Methodist anti-slavery sentiment of the Delmarva Peninsula. About 1767 Friends of the Third Haven Meting in Easton Maryland decided that all Friends in the meeting who held slaves would free those slaves. Third Haven was the Yearly Meeting; soon all meetings in Maryland adopted the same stance. Methodist began anti-slavery proselytizing on the Delmarva as well. Anti-slavery sentiment grew stronger, Pennsylvania adopted its emancipation act in 1780. In 1790, with the first U.S. census, the free black population of Kent County, DE exceeded the enslaved population. By 1810, 72% of the black population of Delaware was free. though the state did not adopt emancipation. By 1810 Maryland had the largest free black population of any state. Richard Allen bought his freedom after a Methodist preacher convinced Richard's owner of the immorality of slavery. Richard was enslaved in Kent County, DE. After he bought his freedom, he relocated to Philadelphia. The Methodist church welcomed black members. Black Americans did not join the Quaker faith in large numbers. Richard Allen and two other black Methodists attended the legendary Christmas Conference in Baltimore in 1783, which was the organizing meeting for the Methodist Episcopal church in America (now called United Methodist). Kent County DE stands out because two very effective abolitionists lived there for a period of time, Quaker Warner Mifflin and Methodist Freeborn Garrettson, although they were situated at opposite ends on the county. +++
That would've been a whale of a World Series had the Phils taken on the Yankees. The Philadelphia merchants and bars would've made out like kings. Don't know if the Phillies would've won, but if they did it would've been Mardi Gras downtown.

My native city shines again!
Overuse of the two best arms led to their doom but considering how bad they were three years prior. Meanwhile the Cardinals were an ass-kicking team in the 60's after years of second-banana finishes to the Dodgers...it was their time. The Phils were a one-trick pony and doomed to slip. Even the Mets couldn't duplicate their 1969 success except one miracle run on an 82-79 team four years later.
Philly always gets it wrong.. Media stirs the pot
@joeycool44 0 seconds ago Yep. Fox News leading the way. Master chefs at pot stirring
The city would not be like it is now,if he were alive
I'm a pence and in house of names says I might be related to this history with my famliy
If only all Urban Renewal projects were this well-thought out and spearheaded.
Born and raise olney. Section of the city
Do people really think that only white people had diseases? Unless we have patient zero...then alot of the ignorant rhetoric being spewed in this documentary is speculation at best...and downright lies at its worst. BTW....its a similar story all over this rock we call earth...land is fought over. There's winners and losers. Who inhabited the land before the Lenape? And im gonna need proof.
Philadelphia is a unique place. Society Hill was almost destroyed by urban renewal.IMPeis ugly buildings dot the city especially the Society Hill towers. Fortunately the Crosstown Expressway was stopped,it was a Robert Moses style horror that would have cut Center City off from South Philadelphia. Unfortunately I95 was built and there’s no through streets between Race and Washington,except for a Mickey Mouse crossing at Market street. I won’t even mention the Disneyland of University City,for that’s a tale for another time.
Saw them in my hometown of DC, Bird came out singing lead and little Sonny was in the background, then he took over one of the greatest lead singers ever. I believe the first song they sung was Check yourself.
