The Movie "Cadillac Records" & Chuck Berry

If you have heard about your grandparents or parents being of Indian descent this is information that has been past down. We have been saying and hearing this for a long time. The movie Cadillac Records is just another piece of information that strengthens that. In the movie Cadillac Records, Chuck Berry is suppose to perform at an all white club. They thought he was a white performer because he sang country/western. When he shows up they don't believe he is Chuck Berry. They ask for identification and when he presents his identification his race is listed as Indian but of course they still won't let him perform. Watch the attached clip it's interesting, this took place around 1955.

Born Charles Edward Anderson Berry on Oct. 18, 1926, Chuck Berry grew up in his family's three-room brick cottage at 2250 Goode Avenue, "a nicely kept area in the best of the three colored sections of St. Louis," he recalled later in an interview with Bernard Weintraub. The neighborhood, known as the Ville, was a thriving black community north and west of downtown St. Louis. Mr. Berry's parents, Henry and Martha, came from polyglot roots: African, Chihuahua Indian and European.
