Long before Hollywood imagined the Wild West, Los Angeles was a real frontier town of gunslingers, lynch mobs, and smoke-belching locomotives. This episode examines L.A.'s efforts to reckon with its violent past by examining hanging trees, remnants of vigilant justice; the massacre of eighteen Chinese immigrants that took place in 1871 near what is now Olvera Street; and railroad promotional campaigns that painted a picture of Los Angeles as a verdant paradise.

I went to high school in a LAUSD school in the late 1960s and early 1970s and was never taught anything about the mistreatment and vigilante killings of Chinese people in Los Angeles. Sad that this was not taught to high school students at that time.

@marcelinocano8637 3 жыл бұрын

Linda you were never taught it, because that part of history was not part of public school required curriculum. I also attended high school in the late 70s in the LAUSD. We were only taught World History, and US History. State, and local history was never taught in the LAUSD. Especially a horrible incident that happened on Calle De Los Negros (Street of the Blacks) in LAs dark history in 1871, LAUSD educators would never consider. But I believe acts of gun violence will continue happen, as long as ignorance plagues our society. I don't support fully automatic firearms sold in our country, Americans just don't need them. But there are those sick knuckleheads who're always willing to buy their new toys... such idiots. Cpl. Cano Honorably Discharged U.S. Marine Corps Veteran

@Dat boy Gaming It's a crazy World... My family avoided any U.S. Government registration for fear of death and/or Indigenous forced relocation.

Lacking United States acknowledgement through the BIA I'm blessed to know my heritage. God/Creator bless us all...

Yes and if you’re white and becoming the majority population it is considered a negative example of racial dominance. Remember the lefts narrative now is that white peoples = bad. You are a racist if you’re white even if you don’t know it. So if you tell a lie long enough, people begin to believe it. This is the brain washing the left wing Demonrats used to take over a prosperous country. It doesn’t matter your race. You come to America for freedom and opportunity. It should not be about dividing people based on race ethnicity religion. America is an idea not about ethnicity. If race is injected, remember that there is something more sinister going on.

Ignoring the fact that LA has become multi-ethnic is stupid. Just because LA history happens to be stained with white-on-other races violence doesn't mean the show is trying to portray whites as evil. Every society on the planet has skeletons in the closet.

Why does the narration continuously use the term Chinamen? The Asian American historian doesn't use the term, he used the term Chinese Men to refer to the victims of that racist society they faced. If there is a story about African Americans in a different period, your narrators would NOT continuously refer to black people as the N words. Do not use derogatory terms today KCET even if you think its safe, its not.
