wow...I'm from Louisiana, but live in Cleveland now. I'm making a documentary on the Salvation Army, which was started as a result of the riots. This was so insightful. Thank you.
I was sitting in a coffeehouse called LaCave when the riots started. The police came in and said that everyone had to leave immediately. You could smell the smoke for hours!
Great video. Everything was really well done. This was like a Cleveland version of the Crips and Bloods movie. I'm still leaning about Cleveland's history and didn't know about the Urban Renewal project. It seems eerily similar to the new Euclid Corridor that's now failing. Sadly, I don't think Cleveland's ever gonna get its act together.
the vid was very good. percey giles that was killed in the riots was my grandfather... his kids, my mom,uncle,and aunt nor my grandmother never seen this vid..
Ben, I finally sat down to watch this and was gretly impressed, by the professional quality of the video and narrative,and by your choice of subject. I know how much work went into this ten minutes -- and the result shows it!

Please explain to me how you get your point across by burning your own neighborhood? Seems assbackwards to me.

I was one and lived in Cleveland Heights when the Hough Riots broke out. My entire life I have only heard brief snippets about the events.
Thanks for creating such an informative documentary. It really opened my eyes regarding what really happened that day.

hey, how did you zoom in on the map from 10 seconds to 21 seconds. I got the Adobe Premiere Elements program but couldn't figure out how to do that.
Awesome documentary man!
