Description
"Good People" is a musical and visual survey of a few events in America's history as well as its present reality. Many of the historical events in this piece are here because I only became aware of them in the last ten years--and kept asking: "How did I not learn about this in school?" Tulsa? Rosewood? Red-lining? Freeway Construction in US Cities? Restrictive Covenants? The GI Bill? How was wealth accumulated in the United States? Who got wealthy and how was that wealth accumulated? And who was and is unfairly hindered from achieving the "American Dream?" What has been the response of the surrounding white community when Black communities prospered? What exactly is institutional racism?
Follow the money. I believe that answers the question.
