Video of Fontaine Ferry Park - A Racial Powderkeg

I must forewarn those who view this YouTube posted video, regarding Fontaine Ferry Park, that the title for the video is racist, ignorant as to it's intent and demeaning to Blacks. However, it does reflect the polarity that exist when discussing various views regarding the closure of Fontaine Ferry Park. I am appalled by the wording, but it serves to demonstrates the deep seeded prejudice that still exist in our country. A disgusting reality, I fear.

The video is well balanced in its content and provides a historical record of Fontain Ferry Park.

"Westenders", at least us senior types, will recognize a lot of scenes from the below clip featuring Louisville's Fontaine Ferry Park. Most of us become rather nostalgic when discussing the park and we often express difficulty in understanding all the issues behind the park's closure. Nevertheless.. it was great fun for those who had the opportunity to experience Fontaine Ferry and especially for those who lived in the West End. Fontaine Ferry contributed significantly to our upbringing, for better or worse, I suppose.
