All the Way Home (1957) | When A Black Family Moves Next Door

Demonstrates in a positive fashion that integrated communities can and do work. Exposes the property value fallacy and makes an appeal to reason and democratic principles. An examination of what happens in a community when a Negro family stops in front of a 'FOR SALE' sign. Dramatizes the unreason and prejudice which bar a solution to the integration problem in housing. - From the Prelinger Archive.

When I was 6 yrs old in 1970 the first black family moved into our neighborhood. I barely remember but there was racist remarks among the adults. Anyway it was a young couple with no children.All of us little white kids were curious about them. I remember that lady was so nice .she was the sweetest person to all of us kids.Also I remember she invited some of us girls inside her home and was teaching us about fingernail care and soaking your fingernails in milk was healthy.she even demonstrated. I am 55 yrs old and I’ll never forget that. Kids aren’t racist , they’re curious. Racism is taught.I am thankful that my parents brought me up to love everyone.❤️

My dad was born in 1933 and grew up very poor. That being said he lived in what he called the black community. His best friend was a black boy named Walter. Dad would get beat up on the 40s for walking around with his friend. Years later, when was dad passed away at the age of 76 I got to meet Walter at his funeral. What a hrsat man he was and spoke so highly of my dad. He told me dad never backed down and would always tell Walter to run cause he knew the kids would be harder on him.

Born and raised in Oklahoma. My grandma lived in a small town on 11 acres, not many people live there now. But the town had segregated white and black, home's and school's. There was the sweetest lady that lived down from my grandma. Her name was Ms. Johnson. I used to get in trouble all the time because my grandma thought that I was bothering Ms. Johnson. The thing was, Ms Johnson always had a kind word, always had a smile, and as poor as she was always offered me something to eat! I loved this lady because she showed me the kindest and sweetest person full of love and life. There wasn't any color to me. She was what I wanted to be. So, Ms Johnson, you've been gone since the seventies and I was such a young girl. I wish I could have told you how I really felt. But grandma thought I bothered you too much.

In 1980 my family lived in a all white city. We had never interacted with different races and we displayed prejudices. We had a family move nextdoor to us that came from Kenya. We were up in arms and outraged our old neighbor sold to them. As the years went on, we learned so much from them, they were the most beautiful people, the wife would cook us food and treats and eventually they became my parents closest friends. Taking holidays together and nights on the porch chatting. Unfortunately they've both passed on recently but they educated our minds and I'm so thankful they taught us we're all the same and they broke the cycle of ignorance in my family.

I had an African-American youth put it to me this way. "Up north, you can be equal, just don't be close. Down south, you can get close, but don't think you're equal." I've always been ticked at how every time something happened that was racist and not in the south, "Oh, we've moved on from that. That's an isolated incident. We're not like they are in the south." It was like northerners didn't have to deal with their own bigotries if they could still point at the south and say, "they're the racists. We're not like them in the south." You look at history of the last forty years, it seems there was more racist encounters in northern and western locations than in the south. But tell a northerner that and they'll bring up Emmet Till and the civil rights workers killed in '63. I wasn't even born when those happened.

@@mjsmith8641 Yes, you're right. The south is responsible for keeping black people out of film and television until the entertainment biz got the balls to defy us, our bigotry was so strong. Our racism was so defiant! The problem today is obviously clinging to a past and stating the south was more racist. We don't have an out and are forced to deal with our bigotry, whereas northerners have always relied on insisting, "we're not as racist as THEY were," without resolving any issues. "No, we're not racist. That was a misunderstanding. That was an isolated incident. We're not racist like they WERE in the south. We're not THAT bad." And when the south does have an altercation of any kind, as we still have had happen, never said the south wasn't racist, "oh, that's the way THEY are down there. They always have been that way." As long as someone feels they can point at someone else as being worse, they never will deal with their own problems. Look up the names Willie Turks, Bernard Goetz, Michael Griffith, Yusuf Hawkins, Charles and Carol Stuart, Tawana Brawley, all of which were followed by Rodney King and OJ Simpson sometime. Yes, those were all in the past. That's not how ALL northerners were. Not like we were in the south. James Craig Anderson was killed in Jackson, MS, in 2011, because that's the way WE are in the south, right?

It isn't always a case of racism. All people don't have to live together. Who cares if a town filled with only African Americans exists? People have a right to live as they wish, provided that wish doesn't infringe on another. People who like multiculturalism and diversity can live in communities which support it. Ideally, everyone could be happy. I wouldn't care if there was an Italian only community or a Native American only community. Oh, wait! There are already native American communities. They are called, "reservations" or, "rez" in Native American parlance. The Amish and Mennonite Christian faiths have there own communities. I support them in their desires to keep their lives free of 'worldly things', for lack of a better phrase. To keep any potential trouble outside of their little slice of paradise on God's green Earth. This might be the closest thing to Heaven on Earth. Living amongst one's own. Every citizen living within the reality of his fellow citizens. Doing business with other communities of native Americans, Peruvians, African Americans and other people of color*. *those of the darker persuasion, dark because their ancestors lived where being dark was considered an asset for a great many reasons including protection from the sun diurnally and protection from animals whilst foraging nocturnally.

I grew up in an integrated neighborhood in The Bronx, NY. There have always been attitudes about race that I didn't (and still don't) understand at age 60. I agree with Ms. Stanfield. My parents brought me up properly. As a result, I gravitated to companions who were like-minded. Race wasn't even a factor. In reading some of the comments, I see that some may have given up hope. True, there is still much work to do, but, as long as one treats others as one want to be treated, that's a step in the right direction.

[@cicibelarus1916]

Everyone says that racism is learned by I don’t know. I grew up in an all whote area & with parents and grandparents who were extremely racist - out of fear, like this movie. Once I hit about age 10, it didn’t make sense to me. The black people I saw on Sesame Street and other TV shows really weren’t all that different than us, besides hair, obviously. We’d see black kids, parents and teachers when we went on field trips in school or to amusement parks and none of them had any desire to rape or kill us or rob us. The girls were so pretty with their hair in braids with beads. Their families were all there to have a good time like anyone else. It was then that I realized the fear was irrational. It wasn’t until I was a teen/early 20s that the crime rates started making sense. Of course there’s crime when people are desperate. Black people were not given the same opportunities for jobs and education... their ancestors weren’t allowed to own property, so a lot didn’t have property to pass on to an heir. I saw white people committing the same crimes but only getting a fraction of the punishment. So no, racism and hate isn’t learned. Sure, it’s taught... but anyone who has more than 2 brain cells should easily be able to see for themselves by age 10 that these stereotypes and fears are irrational.

I emigrated to the U.S. from Canada after meeting an African-American woman who wanted to move back to the states. We ended up in CT and were looking for a place to live (this was 1977). I didn't understand why she sent me alone to look for apartments and I thought I had one. Then we both went to look at it and the landlord said the place had been rented in the few hours that passed. Ironically that whole neighborhood had become mostly black by the 90s and now is mostly Hispanic. Housing discrimination is real and hasn't changed that much.

This video is an eye opener and it brings me to think about how redlining came about. I truly believe whites fought hard/came together ( just as this movie depicts ) and came up with ways to keep blacks in undesirable areas. On another note, it’s funny how whites can’t stand blacks moving close to them but they are quick to gentrify nice black neighborhoods.

[@kblissfullyme9090]

Tessie you must not have read my last sentence because if you did, you wouldn’t respond like a incoherent bitch. I said that blacks who do live in nice areas (DESIRABLE AREAS WERE BLACKS TAKE CARE OF THEIR COMMUNITY), white people like to gentrify what blacks work so hard to accomplish. Also there are white ghettos, so take your megalomaniac nonsense elsewhere. You didn’t even touch on redlining either prick!

[@NickyM_0]

@Tessie GTHOH What do you know about Black people? Do you have black friends? Family? Hang out with black people? Are you invited into our homes? Holiday with us? Do you know a thing about BLACK HISTORY? No. Only what your RACIST, evil mind and environment tells you. What the HELL are you doing in black spaces if you HATE black people so much???? If you knew anything about black people, those places that you call ghetto, were like that because of black POVERTY as a result of systemic racism and discrimination that kept black people poor! Caused by RACIST minds like yours! It all starts with a JOB! That pays well. Well if you have been criminalised, demonised... for being black...... that becomes a major hurdle, doesn't it?

[@minniethemouse62]

Tessie “They made them that way”. There was a time when Blacks were relegated to the “other side of the tracks”. The areas where the sewage treatment plants were, the creosote and fertilizer plant were. Eyesores and undesirable, yet necessary elements, like water towers, railroad tracks had been placed. Yes...they always had an opportunity to make those areas better...

[@GOD-2024-]

Tessie I wholeheartedly agree with you. People want to jump on the offensive because it’s impolite to be PI. I for one prefer to base my conclusion on facts of observations. My neighborhood borders the AA side of town, where prostitution, panhandling, drugs, murder, and everything criminal under the sun occurs. They recently knocked down all of the projects and started building Apts here in my neighborhood and the projects people moved in. Now crime has gone up in my neighborhood. I went walking to the park, where I’ve been going to since the early 80’s only to have a group of young AA threaten me and pull out a gun. This has never happened to me until they built these apts. I hate to say, I really do, but it is the God honest truth. I won’t lie to spare anyone’s feelings.

[@minniethemouse62]

A 79 Yes....I’m more than sure that describes every place Blacks live. In your generalization of Black residential neighborhoods, let’s not forget the trashy trailers and run down houses in ghettos that provide shelter for every White meth head and heroin addict in the USA. Or, perhaps, those residential inhabitants are more acceptable based on skin color. Is it behavior that can be observed in ALL people, or just skin color for you? No one would want to live next to what you described, but disregard for neighborhood values comes in ALL colors. I said that and I’m not sparing your feelings.

I JUST had an experience TODAY!! In the grocery checkout at my small town grocer there was this black lady talking to the clerk in the line next to mine. She was hollering that they were the first black family in Billings....on and on she went. She said they had just moved to our town and her neighborhood was on a small street and very quiet and no one bothered anyone. She went on to say she was not used to this being from Chicago. She, loudly of course, was concerned she said because, 'I'm the rowdy kind, I'm the big mouth, I'm the one who has to be noticed!!!". She did not know if she would fit in long. Needless to say, none of the white people (everyone else in the store) said a word. We all rolled our eyes. Here it comes and there goes the neighborhood.

[@pibarrante6901]

That's how my community was. We were integrated in living, not in neighborhoods. When 1 black family moves in, they invite friends over. Now they see other black folks are there, soon they're in a house too. Now someone driving through sees all this, and calls the number on a for rent sign. These folks likely are good people, but, they have a cousin, who needs a place to live... or sells drugs, and no one has 'claimed' this turf. I don't like being called racist. I don't like the re-writing of history , the special treatment and memory loss for gratitude. More whites died as Yankees than those who owned slaves. Retributions/equity... while not teaching math and reading. Equity has dumbed down colleges and public schools. We were integrated in living. A black kid stole my precious stapler in 2d grade - I was told to get over it. In 7th grade, a black kid would sneak up on me, and grind his groin into my backside daily. Again, no one said anything. I didn't even understand what he was doing. I just didn't like it. We were poor. We worked hard, saved and made good decisions, we aren't poor any longer. When millions cross our border w nothing, and make it work within years, what's the excuse for black folks? It's NOT my fault they make bad life decisions. White folks can make bad decisions too. It's the consequences and lack of accountability that keeps folks down. Gold teeth, $150 sneakers... why must I pay for their housing?

I have noticed one reasonably consistent trend about white and ethnic neighborhoods. In ethnic and/or city neighborhoods, we spend a lot of time outside. Our neighborhoods are full of mobile vendors, ladies with strollers, and 2nd and 3rd shift workers using their day as 1st shifters use their nights. It feels completely normal for our neighborhood to be alive and buzzing in the afternoon. In white and/or suburban neighborhoods, I have noticed most people spend a lot of time indoors. Most people there work a first shift, and they are all on the same schedule. It is completely normal to walk through one of these neighborhoods in the afternoon and only see a couple of people outside. For people that come from either one of these neighborhoods, they may feel odd or strange when they are in the other. Ethnic people may feel like the quiet of the suburbs is eery and creepy. White people may feel like the buzz of the city neighborhood is strange and abnormal. The truth is, both are fine, and some white people prefer a buzzing inner city neighborhood, and some ethnic people prefer a quiet suburban neighborhood. We just have to be willing to let people define themselves as they wish, instead of disturbing those who live true to themselves, and not social expectations.

They celebrate birthdays together & have block parties on Halloween, Memorial Day, 4th of July, etc. Lots of fun, food, music, dancing in the street (they live in a cul de sac & can block off the street) The younger families camp together and occasionally some of the adults will take weekend trips to Vegas or other hotspots nearby for someone's birthday or anniversary. A few of the families took a trip to Mexico recently. They are generous in sharing lawn care equipment, cars, trucks for hauling, electronic equipment, tables & chairs and other supplies you need extra's for a family get together. Seems like everything is on offer not just that cup of sugar, lol. One of my son's neighbors who is a contractor helped him put in new wood flooring throughout his house at no cost except for the material. They also have some plans for another upgrade at no cost. My son (40's) and his neighbor built a gate between their two backyards so they, their kids & dogs could move easily between the two backyards/houses. They also watch each others houses & feed the animals if someone is out of town. Most of the houses with kids have garage doors that stay open so the kids are in & out of houses up and down the block. If the kids are at your house, the parents take responsibility for watching those kids while in their homes. If your spouse is in the military and "away" or someone is sick there is always someone to help out. So, your story and mine are just two examples of people finding acceptance, friendship and more in their diverse neighborhoods. I'm sure there are many wonderful stories about neighborhoods like this. It would be great if all neighborhoods were as accepting. I can't imagine going through life only living amongst or associating with people that look like me. I am thankful every day of my life that I have been fortunate to know so many kind, caring, thoughtful, generous people of a multitude of races & cultures that wanted to be part of my life.
