As a native of East St. Louis (1952-1970), I can relate to the content of this video. Unfortunately I did not understand the tensions between these ethnic groups. This video has awakened some sense of understanding.

I am a native of East St. Louis (1952-1970) and appreciate this video. It really explains a lot about my growing years that I did not understand nor support during those years.

I too am flabbergasted that there are virtually no comments on this video. Maybe it is simply another example of the apathy that contemporary St. Louisan's still harbor about race relations in their city. Institutionalized racism and strict segregation of neighborhoods is still alive and well, perhaps more so in sleepy St. Louis than in most any other industrialized metropolitan area. The disdain is palpable. 1917 wasn't the only race riot in the St. L. area; I wonder when we'll see the next.

As much as I love this city, it's a shame that we have always been, to this day, so segregated... and how far into the future will it continue?

Wow. A well done documentary on events that are embarrassing and shameful. Shameful for many reasons but also because as someone who grew up in St. Louis in the 70s and 80s and went to public schools I never heard about this. There are lessons to be learned. People need to remember and understand so that racial hatred can stop.

Negro crime waves in East St. Louis? Come on!!! You gotta be kidding me. The blacks in E. St.Louis have ALWAYS been so peaceful and non-violent. What were they thinking back in 17'

I'm white and my parents and grandparents grew up in East St.Louis and surrounding areas. I live in the same county. Blacks and whites live together in some areas, and some they don't. Race is a problem, but alot of people look past that crap. It saddens me to hear of people hating that far back and still no changes really. Black and white...stop hating and embrace the diversity.
