Exact a marker is another slap in the face of the people that were murdered there. Some of us get happy for no reason at all, she should have been pissed, I know I am.
Thanks to all who worked on this video. The most I knew about Black History in Florida when I visited Orlando in the 1980s was that author, Zora Neale Hurston, had lived in Eatonville, FL. I was curious to know the origin of the name Ocoee. I knew it sounded Native American. Turns out "Ocoee means 'apricot vine' in the Cherokee language - what we now call the passion flower." Thanks, again.
The Ocoee Massacre, which occurred in the town of Ocoee, Florida on November 2-3, 1920, was the largest election-related massacre in the 20th Century. Approximately 50 Blacks and two whites died in the violence and the entire Black community of Ocoee was forced to flee the town. Ocoee, Florida, in Orange County, approximately 12 miles northwest of Orlando, had been politically dominated by DEMOCRATS since the end of Reconstruction. They prided themselves on keeping Blacks, then mostly Republican, from the polls. In 1920, a number of Black organizations across Florida began conducting voter registration campaigns. Partly because of their efforts, a prosperous Black farmer, Mose Norman, who had been part of the voter registration drive in Orange County, decided to vote in the national election on November 2. When he attempted to do so, twice, he was turned away from the polls. When Norman was driven away the second time, a white KKK DEM OCRAT mob, then numbering over 100 men, decided to hunt him down. Concluding he had taken refuge in the home of another local Black resident, Julius “July” Perry, they rushed Perry’s home hoping to capture both men there. Norman escaped and was never found while Perry defended his home, killing two white men, Elmer McDaniels and Leo Borgard, who tried to enter through the back door. The mob called for reinforcements from Orlando and surrounding Orange County. Eventually they caught and killed Perry and hung his dead body from a telephone post by the highway from Ocoee to Orlando to intimidate other potential Black voters. Perry’s wife, Estelle Perry, and their daughter were wounded during the attack on the Perry home. They were sent to Tampa by local law enforcement officers. The KKK DEMOCRAT mob then turned on the Black community of Ocoee. They burned down homes and businesses and demanded that the Black residents leave Ocoee. In the face of this threatened violence, the entire African American population fled the town. Some African Americans speculated that the rioting may have been planned so that some whites could seize the property of the wealthiest Blacks in the town. The NAACP investigated the massacre, sending Walter White, the organization’s executive director. White-who passed as a Caucasian during his visit-reported that some local whites were “still giddy with victory” when he arrived. He also said that KKK DEMOCRAT locals reported 56 Blacks killed but he claimed 30 deaths in his official report. In 1921 the NAACP and other civil rights organizations called on the House Election Committee of the U.S. Congress to investigate the massacre and Black voter suppression in Florida, but it failed to act.
I lived in Orlando most of my life, without knowing about this story. I learned about Tulsa and Wilmington only a few years ago, but it wasn't until the George Floyd protests earlier this year that I learned that a massacre like this happened not far from where I grew up. UCF is doing important work here to help contextualize the racial divides that America still struggles with.
This happened all over the united States and it makes me sick to my stomach my people have been pushed around and disrespected for years. Someone has to pay for this and it doesn't matter how long ago it's been.

Thank you…. Just thank you for educating and honoring!! As a black man I never want our history to go untold as if our past/ancestors weren’t a huge part of who and what we are today. Again thank you sooo much 😢❤
More like so many of these events, stories in my opinion are tall tales. These were events that really have taken place and lives were lost not only in death. Those whom lived physically were dead emotionally due to tragic memories. No amount of therapy will ever erase painful memories of your whole family being slaughtered all because of two things beyond their control. 1. Because they were born with black ethnicity 2. Because of evil ignorant people full of hate😪😪😪
We don’t need to keep these secret in the closet any long. Now is time to release the horrible experiences our ancestors endured. Their spirit need to be at peace. Therefore, we need to honor them by talking about their inhumane treatments. It is the WS shame and not our ancestors shame nor ours. They need to own their shame and stop avoiding it. If they get upset it is because the pain we endure they are feeling it now. It is time that the ones who are remorse purged themselves from the ones who aren’t remorseful. We must keep calm while we talk our ancestors pain. Just as they stay calm watching us, we must stay calm watching them. We have felt pain long enough. Let the roles be reverse by watching them feel the pain just as they have watched us.
1920's (Ocoee - 1920, Greenwood /Tulsa - 1921, Rosewood - 1923) seems like a decade of accelerated and multiple U.S. African-American massacres . It would be interesting to see the collective time frame of the many massacres, their geographies, and the total economic theft involved -1863 - 1920s at least.
Honestly racist people can be such savages jealous savages hang people,rape people, burn people out of their homes steal and take over their land and now we have people trying to stop people from voting block black children from learning their truthful black history! When will racist white people learn we ain't going no where period!

I first heard this story hiking and paddling in central Florida in the 70s. It wasn’t really the denials that registered, it was the “So what” that destroyed my innocence. Ocoee was not a one-off. There was the Rosewood Massacre just a few years and a few miles distant. Florida moved in my mind from paradise to hellhole and there were lots of exemplars. 50 years later we’re still hearing justification for voter suppression. “When will we ever learn” 🎼
Trying to connect the horrible events that happened in the past to a subjective accusation of voter suppression takes away from what happened and where we are now as a people.....Americans. There is no voter suppression going on . ..stop it! There is voter fraud going on.....plenty of proof for that!
This is truly amazing. I am glad to know that the truth is finally being unveiled. I am a descendant of the Perry Family. July Perry was my Mothers, Gradfather Greatly Uncle. I am honored to be apart of his lineage.
ARE you Democrats? If you are , you just spit in the face of your ancestors because the KKK was officially also the DEMOCRAT party. They were killed because they tried to Register Republican yet here you are still a good little Democrat.
As an Ocoee resident I was aware of a similar situation that happened in the community of Rosewood FL because I saw a movie that was made about that incident. I had no idea that something much worse happened right here in Ocoee. Must have done a good job of covering this up. Perhaps a major motion picture should be made about this
I am very happy to hear that people are interested in hearing the truth concerning early United States history. When we embrace the past then we can begin to heal from its sometimes-destructive behaviors. Knowing and understanding the truth opens up a path that strengthens us.

My grandfather is from Palatka and I remember something about the story he told me a few years ago when we were visiting him about how black folks still don't go around that area.

How can one race caused so much pain and suffering to other races of people? One thing I am sure of, they are going to pay. To my African American brothers and sisters, you have suffered so so much. As a Jamaican, I am just now finding out about all the atrocities which were committed against you and the sacrifices you made. We love you and we have your backs.
All races have caused immense pain to others that don’t look like them over the centuries. It goes back as far as the Romans and the Egyptians. Hopefully we are more educated today and aren’t so hateful/scared of what is different to us. Naive maybe but we can hope ❤️
@@blondie9422 this is particularly true in Europe , The Finngaill ( Leucous) considered more superior to the Xanthous ( blonde) Tuetonic races and Alpine ( brown haired) races, then in turn the Nordic races ( fair haired Grey eyes) was much superior later the Tuetonic races with their Xanthous blonde haired blue eyes looked down on the Alpine races brown haired dark eyes as peasants a servant class.

I used to live in Ocoee for a couple of years, as well as in Winter Garden which was right next to Ocoee. I was totally unaware of this dark and sad history of Ocoee up until now, and I'm 23 years old. I feel sad for happened to those families and angry that their tragedy was tried to be erased and forgotten by those monsters. I'm glad and grateful that their story is being kept alive and being brought into the light, those families are the true heart and soul of Ocoee. I'm currently in college trying to become a history teacher, and my dream was always to return back to the Ocoee/Winter Garden area to teach. I love history, and I'm grateful that I learned this chunk of important history. Unfortunately, not everyone knows about the Ocoee Massacre. I hope one day to become a teacher and the day I do, I will teach my students what happened in Ocoee. I will encourage them to tell others about what happened, in hopes that this can be heard nation wide and not just here in Florida. While the nation goes to vote on Election Day, they don't know what really happened that day. Those families and July Perry will not be forgotten.
Then your on the right path... This is just one of hundreds of stories throughout this land.. Read, 100 years of lynchings, by Ralph Ginsburg.. I do not teach in a conventional setting, but I try.. I am 53 from the bronx and have studied on my own since I was 7 years old.
Im so saddened by these stories. I never knew any of these stories of racial injustice until just recently. Thank you for making all of us aware of all of these atrocities. I hope that we can take these stories and learn to not repeat them and to love and respect each other.
Everytime I think that I've heard of all of these types of stories, another one pops up. I just saw a story on the Mississippi devils punch bowl. May God help us all.
Don't you worry darling.... I'm pretty sure when the white haters had stand in front of Papa God. The hate that these white people had extreme through their blood there's No Going Back. Hell is no place to be, whether black, white it doesn't matter. God will not going to tolerate this and I'm sure the punishment has been done. Besides Satan is behind all this hate!
MANY OF OUR ELDERS WHO KNEW/ENDURED THIS DIDN'T TELL US FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS: 1. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO TELL US. 2. AND MOSTLY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT US TO CARRY THAT PAIN THEY LIVED WITH. THEY DID WHAT THEY COULD TO SHELTER US OUT OF LOVE. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I DO UNDERSTAND. THAT'S WHY THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO MAKE A WAY FOR US WHEN THEY HAD NONE THEMSELVES.

My daddy took me to a lake where hundreds of bodies were thrown during his childhood. This was supposedly a norm above and beyond the massacre. He made me promise to never live in Ocoee. I never had the heart to tell him I had lived there for a year just a year before. I will never live there again.
I can just imagine how many is hidden. My heart bleeds for my people. As soon as we find them, we need to expose them. America goes all over the world preaching humanity and fairness. Where is the humanity and fairness for African American?
The reason why schools and media don't talk about these massacres is explicitly because there is a major cultural resistance to recognizing the personhood of enslaved people and their descendents and to acknowledge wrong doing and pay restitution would be to put them on the same level of value as non black persons and that is the antithesis to the tenants the US was built on. And if these acts were recognized and efforts to give restitution were started than it would be a slippery slope because there is so much to answer for.
People say we are not responsible for what our ancestors did in the past. And of course there is no personal blame that inclines personal apologies for things we didn't do directly ourselves. BUT it is everyones duty to not let inhumane events like Ocoee be forgotten. So it is essential for societal progress that this video exists - thank you. But what made me smile and cry at the same time was the sentence: "We have a curriculum going into our classrooms that will teach this throughout Florida". As long as people dedicate themselves to make sure this kind of education happens, there is still hope for humankind to one day realize that we are a unified one and that our existence is too precious to waste on hate and aggression. Because everything bad happening in the world (humanity, society, religion, nature, animals) is a direct result of lack of education - and only education can really change our future to the better. So again a big thank you to the creators of this documentary and to UCF for allowing this become public. I haven't heard of it before but I wont forget now. Regards from Berlin (so yeah - I know what it means to feel ancestral / societal guilt)

You might be sincere but continually to call yourself white and other people black is in itself the system of class in which this country was founded. Do you have any idea what these colors mean when applying to humans in a class system because these aren't races European races would be Nordic, Tuetonic, Alpinic etc and surely no one is black or white by skin color.

Much appreciation to the beautiful woman telling the story. Thank You for knowledge of our history , God Bless our Ancestors!!!. VOTE!!! They went thru So much to get us that right!!!!

Born and raised 3 hours from Ocoee. I’ve lived in Orlando. I’ve been to Ocoee. I have family in Ocoee. Never heard this story. This is an example of why Black History Month exist. So many truths hidden. Seems like stories like this coming our decades later will never end.
Yes, this story sounds like rosewood and Oklahoma massacre. If your blk you had to be strong to endure such treatment to survive.
Bit America black history is to miss inform you at all angles in to brainwash you to believe who they want you to believe that was meaningful to black people but they don't speak on Marcus Garvey as they should or Malcolm X they preach about Martin Luther King which was non-violent and getting niggas killed, that why we need the black panther back right now ..
They want to suppress the truth because they don't want their children to feel bad. And when the truth comes out they try to downplay it.
You cannot bury the truth the devils have tried but Nature is life and we are Life not Death.

Thanks to all who worked on this video. The most I knew about Black History in Florida when I visited Orlando in the 1980s was that author, Zora Neale Hurston, had lived in Eatonville, FL. I was curious to know the origin of the name Ocoee. I knew it sounded Native American. Turns out "Ocoee means 'apricot vine' in the Cherokee language - what we now call the passion flower." Thanks, again.
So sad. As a Southern white woman, I am ashamed of how ignorant my ansestors behavior. Live and let live.
they were anti-American DEMOCRATS
It’s sad because so many racist white people are still this same exact way today

The Ocoee Massacre, which occurred in the town of Ocoee, Florida on November 2-3, 1920, was the largest election-related massacre in the 20th Century. Approximately 50 Blacks and two whites died in the violence and the entire Black community of Ocoee was forced to flee the town.
Ocoee, Florida, in Orange County, approximately 12 miles northwest of Orlando, had been politically dominated by DEMOCRATS since the end of Reconstruction. They prided themselves on keeping Blacks, then mostly Republican, from the polls. In 1920, a number of Black organizations across Florida began conducting voter registration campaigns. Partly because of their efforts, a prosperous Black farmer, Mose Norman, who had been part of the voter registration drive in Orange County, decided to vote in the national election on November 2. When he attempted to do so, twice, he was turned away from the polls. When Norman was driven away the second time, a white KKK DEM OCRAT mob, then numbering over 100 men, decided to hunt him down. Concluding he had taken refuge in the home of another local Black resident, Julius “July” Perry, they rushed Perry’s home hoping to capture both men there. Norman escaped and was never found while Perry defended his home, killing two white men, Elmer McDaniels and Leo Borgard, who tried to enter through the back door. The mob called for reinforcements from Orlando and surrounding Orange County. Eventually they caught and killed Perry and hung his dead body from a telephone post by the highway from Ocoee to Orlando to intimidate other potential Black voters. Perry’s wife, Estelle Perry, and their daughter were wounded during the attack on the Perry home. They were sent to Tampa by local law enforcement officers.
The KKK DEMOCRAT mob then turned on the Black community of Ocoee. They burned down homes and businesses and demanded that the Black residents leave Ocoee. In the face of this threatened violence, the entire African American population fled the town. Some African Americans speculated that the rioting may have been planned so that some whites could seize the property of the wealthiest Blacks in the town. The NAACP investigated the massacre, sending Walter White, the organization’s executive director. White-who passed as a Caucasian during his visit-reported that some local whites were “still giddy with victory” when he arrived. He also said that KKK DEMOCRAT locals reported 56 Blacks killed but he claimed 30 deaths in his official report. In 1921 the NAACP and other civil rights organizations called on the House Election Committee of the U.S. Congress to investigate the massacre and Black voter suppression in Florida, but it failed to act.

So many of these stories, so many. 😢😢😢
Bring them up and share often not just when it's most proper.
More like so many of these events, stories in my opinion are tall tales. These were events that really have taken place and lives were lost not only in death. Those whom lived physically were dead emotionally due to tragic memories. No amount of therapy will ever erase painful memories of your whole family being slaughtered all because of two things beyond their control. 1. Because they were born with black ethnicity 2. Because of evil ignorant people full of hate😪😪😪
@Walter Goodwin Yes they do. That’s why I personally teach my children about the history of our ancestors .
We don’t need to keep these secret in the closet any long. Now is time to release the horrible experiences our ancestors endured. Their spirit need to be at peace. Therefore, we need to honor them by talking about their inhumane treatments. It is the WS shame and not our ancestors shame nor ours. They need to own their shame and stop avoiding it. If they get upset it is because the pain we endure they are feeling it now. It is time that the ones who are remorse purged themselves from the ones who aren’t remorseful. We must keep calm while we talk our ancestors pain. Just as they stay calm watching us, we must stay calm watching them. We have felt pain long enough. Let the roles be reverse by watching them feel the pain just as they have watched us.
Indeed. My great-grandfather was a survivor of the Rosewood Massacre. Learning other massacre stories now.
1920's (Ocoee - 1920, Greenwood /Tulsa - 1921, Rosewood - 1923) seems like a decade of accelerated and multiple U.S. African-American massacres . It would be interesting to see the collective time frame of the many massacres, their geographies, and the total economic theft involved -1863 - 1920s at least.

I first heard this story hiking and paddling in central Florida in the 70s. It wasn’t really the denials that registered, it was the “So what” that destroyed my innocence. Ocoee was not a one-off. There was the Rosewood Massacre just a few years and a few miles distant. Florida moved in my mind from paradise to hellhole and there were lots of exemplars. 50 years later we’re still hearing justification for voter suppression. “When will we ever learn” 🎼
Trying to connect the horrible events that happened in the past to a subjective accusation of voter suppression takes away from what happened and where we are now as a people.....Americans. There is no voter suppression going on . ..stop it! There is voter fraud going on.....plenty of proof for that!
One filmmaker to another, this was extremely well produced, directed, edited & told.

I used to live in Ocoee for a couple of years, as well as in Winter Garden which was right next to Ocoee. I was totally unaware of this dark and sad history of Ocoee up until now, and I'm 23 years old. I feel sad for happened to those families and angry that their tragedy was tried to be erased and forgotten by those monsters. I'm glad and grateful that their story is being kept alive and being brought into the light, those families are the true heart and soul of Ocoee. I'm currently in college trying to become a history teacher, and my dream was always to return back to the Ocoee/Winter Garden area to teach. I love history, and I'm grateful that I learned this chunk of important history. Unfortunately, not everyone knows about the Ocoee Massacre. I hope one day to become a teacher and the day I do, I will teach my students what happened in Ocoee. I will encourage them to tell others about what happened, in hopes that this can be heard nation wide and not just here in Florida. While the nation goes to vote on Election Day, they don't know what really happened that day. Those families and July Perry will not be forgotten.

Thank you so much for posting this information and bringing awareness.
What a great story,keep them coming. Our history is very important. Great job!!
The reason why schools and media don't talk about these massacres is explicitly because there is a major cultural resistance to recognizing the personhood of enslaved people and their descendents and to acknowledge wrong doing and pay restitution would be to put them on the same level of value as non black persons and that is the antithesis to the tenants the US was built on. And if these acts were recognized and efforts to give restitution were started than it would be a slippery slope because there is so much to answer for.
Thank you for speaking about this and not trying to hide it!
People say we are not responsible for what our ancestors did in the past. And of course there is no personal blame that inclines personal apologies for things we didn't do directly ourselves. BUT it is everyones duty to not let inhumane events like Ocoee be forgotten. So it is essential for societal progress that this video exists - thank you.
But what made me smile and cry at the same time was the sentence: "We have a curriculum going into our classrooms that will teach this throughout Florida". As long as people dedicate themselves to make sure this kind of education happens, there is still hope for humankind to one day realize that we are a unified one and that our existence is too precious to waste on hate and aggression. Because everything bad happening in the world (humanity, society, religion, nature, animals) is a direct result of lack of education - and only education can really change our future to the better.
So again a big thank you to the creators of this documentary and to UCF for allowing this become public. I haven't heard of it before but I wont forget now.

keep the symbolisms give back the land and orange groves
That’s too much like right!
There is so much that is still hidden from us. And they have the nerve to be mad at us these days because we speak up now for our rights🙏🏽
Forget about it they say - That's in the past *
Someone needs to be held accountable.
Thanks for making this video 🙏🏼
The government owe all those families! The hate is beyond me.
the government doesn't owe those morons anything. They shouldn't have killed those two white people. They got what they deserved.
@@bcbc1299 they were falsely accused! Did you even watch the video and read the articles of this senseless racist tragedy?
@@bcbc1299 Neanderthal
The hate is strong the wickedness & evil of stealing our ancestors land & killing our people on OUR own land is psychotic sociopaths!!!
@@teenatchie1313 they lack souls
I'm in Jacksonville, never heard anything about this. THANK YOU FOR sharing , 😔 Fl.Boy
I am so sorry to hear all you all went through it’s so horrendous a tragic a d I am glad there is a healing, calling and some, as lithe as it, progress especially in remembering the events and people. 🙏🏼 blessings
They were a mix of "so called African Americans" and Aboriginals. It was very difficult to distinguish between them. All those areas in Florida with "Indian" names were lands filled with Aboriginals, who took in escaped slaves.
Because they're the same just different complexions.. black Seminole and just Seminole how they knew who would be slave
@@williamthrillher6092 : Yep. African American and Aboriginals are one in the same.
@@trueamerican769 Yes we are. My grandmother who lived to be 102 years old called us American Natives. We were here before the so-called Native Americans. Most of us were already here - Original Chakta people. Some came to escape persecution - Black Jews. Some were deported here from Europe - Moors and Black Jews. Some were brought from Africa - Black Jews.
@@MaLiArtworks186 : Thats my belief as well.
@@trueamerican769 We have to teach the rest of our people.. My mother always said "Dont let your oppressors teach you your history!"
Keep up the good (and hard) work. Well done. I’m a FL native.
One cannot place this crime on this period in our culture. This ignorance can only be healed with love and education . This exhibit is so beautiful and so timely.
May all beings benefit 🙏🏽
This is so informative. I grew up in West Helena, Arkansas 10 minutes from Elaine where the Elaine Massacre took place. Many blacks were killed or fled this town in 1919 (Red Summer).
Dam there where a lot of massacres in America,God bless the ones who suffered so greatly..❤️❤️
@Denmark Vesey WOW thanks for that information
Only an animals would do people this way... These are not people... I would like to see them do that now and let's see the outcome
I feel U
A N I M A L S! Still Animals!
@tina Woods, even animals do not that to other animals. These people who done such horriffic acts are lower still than animals.
I keep saying it's not good n bad with these types. It's only bad and worse. Different sides of the same coin. NEANDERTHALS
- better keep your 👀’s open then.
I'm from Kansas City and at 50yrs of age for the last two decades all myself and my wife talked about was a day retiring and moving to Florida for the nice weather but Florida has really been the stage for a lot of misery, heartache & death for a lot of black people through out history!
How in the hell can u treat other humans like animals or dogs by the color of their skin I can't comprehend it we are all one
People are scared of what is different, it goes back to our tribalism days.
They are jealous of us . We are the children of Israel. Gods Chosen people!! Don’t let them tell you ANY DIFFERENT!!
*I am just learning of this history. Thank you for bringing awareness to this. Your contributions matter. Peace and one love* ✌🏾❤️
Demonic
Exactly....
Very much.
Kinda glad I was a kid who liked to read. I knew about all these massacres as a middle schooler in the 2000s. How people are just finding out about these tragedies blows my mind.
What an amazing story of which has been hidden for decades. Unfortunately the right to vote is still being threatened today. Which is why nobody should take it for granted. A right that sounds so simple but yet the struggle to get it was so painful. Thank you for sharing this story. These are the types of stories that should be included in our history books at all levels.
I am proud to be an American, however the American history is not one of only great accomplishments and all the right decisions. Of which is why our democracy is so inspiring and yet so fragile at times. Especially today. Thanks again.
It's not a story, but a tragedy of a massacre.
No wonder DeSantis doesn't want Black History taught.
Do you think he will support July Perry legacy?
Unfortunately racism still lives
That's not what the VP said.
@@timely1974 you're a LIAR...
Now if you said that's not what candace owens said,or larry elders,
Jesse lee peterson you'd be truthful and correct.....
@@tracyclark3634 I know what she “said”, and so do you.
I hear Ocala Florida still have problems there
I remember going to see a movie in Ocoee about 5 years ago and it was uncomfortable as hell. I didn't feel safe at all.
Thank you for shedding light on an important but often overlooked part of history. The Ocoee massacre serves as a stark reminder of the racial violence and discrimination that stained our past. It’s crucial to acknowledge and learn from these dark chapters to work towards a more just and inclusive future. Let’s continue to educate ourselves and foster understanding to ensure such injustices are never repeated. -GLO
The state need to give them there land back and reparation.
Give reparations back to the white people who were killed that led to this.
@@bcbc1299 Why should people who come to your home to kill you get reparations? What do you think with?
@@lc4207 exactly. The black people who killed the two white people in this story should get nothing. Give reparations to the white families of the true victims here.
@@lovelyone1712 what sins? Having to deal with your inferior 'people'?
@@lovelyone1712 your family were my family's pets. Live with that.
They feared the Black Man they knew they were capable
Envy,too.
You do not question your calling, you pray and seek after it and God will do the rest. I enjoyed this. Thank you. 🙏🏾 “O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.”
Psalm 94:1 KJV
Love the music with the narrator's voice. Go very well together.
I live in a small town of Kentucky called Mayfield and I wonder what tragic story’s are not known or talked about from the past here
I have an update on this post our local news just ran a story of two families killed and dumped in a mass grave here in mayfield. No one has ever been charged the Lawrence and drew family killed 1921 there is a book out about it Dark fire
Dame we have experienced these atrocities long enough it's time to unite!💪🏾👊🏿
RIP TO ALL ANCESTORS BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN AFRICANS, AFRICAN Americans, INDIANS ETC!!!
Highway? No. What is needed is a PayDay. Reparations for all of the land stolen!
This makes my heart break, and tears are gathering in my eyes that my white race can be so extremely ugly to a people that do not deserve to be treated as though they are not deserving of any rights or liberties.
God bless you.
You might be sincere but continually to call yourself white and other people black is in itself the system of class in which this country was founded. Do you have any idea what these colors mean when applying to humans in a class system because these aren't races European races would be Nordic, Tuetonic, Alpinic etc and surely no one is black or white by skin color. These labels are the first step unto healing they must be dropped
This video is awesome 👏
The 1920s... Rosewood, Tulsa, Ocoee.... my heart aches. We MUST never let fear and hate rule.
These kind of documentary's gets pushed deep into the archives, or to never to be mention through out America history.
