The "Little Rascals" were some of Hollywood’s first child stars, and sadly, many of them suffered the stereotypical troubles we associate with child stars today. The children were the stars of the "Our Gang" shorts, which were created by producer Hal Roach and ran from 1922 to 1944. The shorts showed a world where children of different races were friends without concern, even if they did sadly lean into stereotypes of the day. The treatment the Black actors faced was only one tragic thing about the troupe, so let’s take a look at the tragic truth about the "Little Rascals."
