Great Documentary with a clear message. It’s sad to see so much black history being erased. RIP to some great storytellers.

This was incredible. I enjoyed every minute of the rich history of The Foot.

I totally enjoyed this documentary. Excellent job🎉

Awesome. Simply beautiful

This feature was uplifting as well as uncomfortably reflective. Uplifting because it gives testament to our strength and survival skills in the face of systemic adversity. It was extremely reactive racially. Black communities just like Native American villages have always been deemed expendable or irrelevant whenever they need our space for gold , expansion, or urban planning. Progress more often than not is a burden placed negatively on the backs of non white people. However it is placed positively and profitably in the arms of white people.

I'm learning about my new community. Thank you Alfred for telling me about this documentary!

I lived in Jeff city and went to Lincoln university

My whole family graduated from Lincoln University. I remember the foot. Aitch and Kemp

Mr. Halsey's wife was my 5th grade teacher.

This is very relevant to me as the first house I lived in afer my birth (1947) , was just 2 blocks up from the "The Foot" on Dunklint (1004 E. Dunklin). The Hawkins family lived on one side of our home and Holmes Merrit (SP?) lived on the other. My Dad, Mom, and 3 brothers lived there till we needed a bigger home and we moved to Houchin St. About 1955 or so. I have to add one bit here -we actually had nicer neighbors here on Dunklin than we did on Houchinn. I will leave this subject with that comment. I have great memories of playing in the yard with the Hawkins Kids , and the kindness of Mr Merrit. Great job on this HCJ!

I see it as a lost opportunity that the producers avoided speaking with the children of some of the Black business owners that still live in Jefferson City. I bet they would have relevant commentary on the removal of their parent's businesses. I know my father did. I’m 3rd generation working in the business 70+ years later on the foot.

My cousin Karl Johnston. He was the last business at the Foot

Good stuff. Although some of the interviews are a little long winded and boring. Curiously most of the African Americans interviewed look more like mixed-race individuals rather than pure African. I'd like to see a piece about Hog Alley if it is in the budget. I'd be interested in doing some writing, research, and acting if anyone would be interested in putting one together.

(Earl) Fantastic. Required viewing. You guys barely made this in time. Don't waste any more time.
