    I am grateful for watching this telling, both the longer more formal presentation and the shorter piece with Eugene Moy - now I will employ this knowledge and awareness of the 1871 Massacre of Chinese in Los Angeles as BURIED HISTORY and work on my "obligation to remember" when going forth. Thank you Lotus Fong for alert and the Chinese Museum, LA, for dedicated institutional work.

    It just crazy how a lot of people don't know about these incidents.

      a general history text book can only be filled with so much and even the stuff that makes it in the books is often an abridged and digestible version for students.

      @@Iznikroc horrible excuse, students can still learn about these things. Computers exist along with projectors and PowerPoints teachers can utilize. Just because it's not in a text book doesn't mean it can't be learned in schools.

    Is it only me who feels a certain nostalgia and strange feeling while watching these old documentaries from the 80s/90s? which I also find 100 times better than those of today.

    There was a Chinese massacre 14 years earlier in Los Angeles (1871)
    To this day digging up bones of the deceased is common in Greece

    I wish this went into more detail. Like the Chinese that were lined up on the mountain (the one right in the middle of down town Rock Springs) and we're shot off the mountain

    What is very interesting,is..that china has built a Paris,adorned with an eiffle tower,a Washington DC and full size replica of the white house,and in reference to this information,I think it's very intriguing that they have also created a whyoming USA in china as well.🤔
    I will research to see what town is being depicted in china's Wyoming and come back to update. May the creator bless all of my brothers and sisters much love -sea 🐺 wolf
