Eine neue Dokumentation mit dem Titel “Across the Tracks” erkundet die schwarze Geschichte von Las Vegas. Die Filmemacher haben sich auf die Recherchen von Dr. Michael Green gestützt, einem Historiker, der die Geschichte der afroamerikanischen Gemeinde in Las Vegas erforscht hat.

Der Film deckt verschiedene Aspekte der schwarzen Geschichte von Las Vegas ab, darunter die Rolle der Afroamerikaner im Aufbau der Stadt, ihre Kämpfe gegen Rassismus und Diskriminierung und ihren Beitrag zum kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Leben der Stadt.

Die Dokumentation enthält Interviews mit Historikern, Experten und ehemaligen Einwohnern von Las Vegas. Sie wirft auch einen Blick auf die Beiträge von schwarzen Künstlern, Geschäftsleuten und Politikern zur Entwicklung der Stadt.

“Across the Tracks” bietet einen faszinierenden Einblick in die Geschichte von Las Vegas, der bislang oft übersehen wurde. Die Filmemacher hoffen, dass der Film dazu beiträgt, das Bewusstsein für die schwarze Geschichte der Stadt zu schärfen und einen Dialog über die Bedeutung von Vielfalt und Inklusion in der Gesellschaft zu fördern.
