Seeing is Believing: A Year Later: Why Henry Louis Gates Jr. Went-Off on Police Sgt. James Crowley Causing His Arrest | VideoBuzz
July 18, 2010
Seeing is Believing — While watching a documentary called “A Place of Our Own” by Filmmaker Stanley Nelson (2004), on the screen pops Henry Louis Gates Jr. speaking about a fear of being arrested. In the film Gates says “many of us engage in actions to prevent racism from occurring.” He goes on to explain about living in his fear of living in his neighborhood.
Watch with player above or use video alternative
The documentary “A Place of Our Own” appears to be a 2004 release. To our surprise and purely coincidental, at post time, this week is the one year anniversary of Gates July 16 2009 arrest in Cambridge, Mass in a place of his own. Did Gates go off on Police Sgt. James Crowley because he had already “engaged in actions to prevent racism from occurring,” but still it occurred?
Imaging that, succeeding while Black, did Gates live with a fear of living in his own home?
About A Place of Our Own
Filmmaker Stanley Nelson takes a nostalgic look at a rare phenomenon — the black-oriented middle-class resort community of Oaks Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard, where Nelson and his family summered for 40 years. Via intimate stories of other African-Americans who vacationed there, he paints a vivid portrait of a sector of society that, far from being disenfranchised, put down roots in a largely white vacation area and has remained for generations.
