Watching The Pruitt-Igoe Myth film was another interesting look into our country’s history, specifically, the housing system in the 1960s and 70s. What struck me most about the film was the inclusion of people who had actually lived in the housing complex and watched as the project eventually fell apart. Often looking back into history seems like these events are so far from the present time, but these residents are living evidence of the Pruitt-Igoe project and the impact it had. Despite the downfall of the complex, listening to the stories of the residents was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. Specifically, since most of them were children when they moved into their housing unit much of their youth and prime years of growth were spent at Pruitt-Igoe. Many residents shared that even today they look back at their time there as precious. They recalled moments when the residents of the complex felt like a close family. It’s sad to think how their experiences ended when they still remember their time there so dearly.
