A documentary about the rise and demise of Missouri's First Black City: Kinloch, MO.
Kinloch, Missouri, a town resting on life support with less than 200 citizens still residing in the area, a city budget flirting on the line of bankruptcy, corruption appearing to be the main job description for several local officials, and a few sunsets away from extinction. This once thriving all American Black city - Missouri’s First Black City and the oldest all Black city west of the Mississippi- leaves but a breath of prosperity that it was once known for.
Witnessing the erasure of predominately Black and thriving communities has been a common trend for several years. There’s “Black Wall Street” in Greenwood, Oklahoma; Rosewood, Florida; Freedman’s Town, Texas; East St. Louis, Illinois, and the list will continue to continue. Kinloch, Missouri, Missouri’s First Black City and the “Harlem of the Midwest” falls on this list. Kinloch contains a wealth of history that explains how racial division has manifested for several decades
The Kinloch Doc has a crowdfunding campaign launching APRIL 10 to raise funds for
the remainder of post-production of the documentary.
