The History of the Westside
Our kick-off for a new season of Untold Stories begins.
This month we take a look at the Westside and its history. The Westside and all its history. From the early days of just being on the wrong side of the tracks as McWillams Townsite, a place for those who could not afford the lots for sale in Clark's townsite that would become the City of Las Vegas. This neighborhood became famous as Las Vegas grew to have the moniker of the "Mississippi of the West" and the Jim Crowe laws of segregation were enforced.
We look at the evolution of the Westside from its early beginnings through its notorious past to what it is today.
Panelists include:
Pastor Marion Bennett
Lucille Bryant
Judge John Mendoza
Trish Geran
