Description
Phoenix: A History of Color is a creative project that examines three communities of color within the city of Phoenix. Taking the form of a short form documentary it was directed and produced by Pacey Smith-Garcia. Marrina Thomas, who prefers to use her traditional O’odham name of Running Deer, shows us around the former village of La Ciudad. This site is now being lost due to construction for low-income housing. Afterwards we take a look at archival footage from the city government that takes us through the Okemah community. The African American community was lost due to the freeway expansion and zoning. Finally we look at the former Golden Gate Barrio that was lost due to the expansion of Sky Harbor Airport.
