Lackawanna Blues
LACKAWANNA BLUES is an HBO original movie. If you have ever seen one of these, you know that they are not your typical type of flick. Usually involving well developed characters and story lines. LACKAWANNA BLUES was no different. Set in a time before Segregation had passed, this movie tells the story of a very strong woman who dedicates herself to helping others the only way she knows how.
Anyway, the movie ends as one of the main characters looks out over his once vibrant black neighborhood - that now could only be descibed as "third world." The narration speaks of the cause - something I had never been told of or thought about. The ending of segregation made new doors open all the while, closing others.
My dad came down for a visit this weekend, and watched the movie with me - and he told me that he saw some of this happen in the mid west. He told me about very nice black neighborhoods that became very upset about whites moving in - while the nice white neighborhoods still had their ways of keeping themselves all white.
The movie is great - if you get a chance to see - its worth it.
