    I got teary, those are my roots: Dominican and Puerto Rican from New York City. Early 70's, what a gem! A woman mopping was dressed just like my aunt and mom used to dress: knee high boots, silk bandana and mini skirt. I was glued to the screen. I could not stop thinking about my mom and aunt and olde New York. This video touched me deeply. I'm full of tears. Thank you.

      Yes, the dominican tethers, those same people who started immigrating to NY since before the trans-atlantic slave trade even began in what we call today the USA. Let's kick them out the same with Mexicans who are indigenous to this land. Let's kick them out, but leave everyone who came after them. Makes total sense.

    These were actually blacks and Puerto Ricans. They were eventually pushed into the Bronx and their children created a billion dollar musical movement called.......Hip Hop!

    Back when it was communities helping raise children instead of the parents. Back when communities helped one another, for Example look at what they did for Jimmy’s family they not only helped em move but they squatted as one so they can all get their point across. It’s why I wished I was born in the 70’s N early 80’s them where the good ol golden years!!?

    They are talking about barricading themselves inside - of course, why wouldnt they want to hold onto free housing for as long as possible. They kept coming in the 50s but the economy was shifting and beginning to fall apart in NYC post ww2, so the landlords suffered. City fell apart. great timing for these people. Not landlords fault
