- Join Gwinnett County Public Library as we chronicle a part of Georgia history - the story of Oscarville, Georgia where 1,100 black people once thrived. We discuss their amazing resilience in securing land, livelihoods, and financial success only 47 years out of slavery; and recount the tragedy of the racial expulsion of 1912 that displaced them, caused great loss, and the eventual emergence of Lake Lanier. For other talks by experts, adult programs and more, visit www.gwinnettpl...
This was really interesting, they don't teach about this stuff in school, at least not the ones I went to. We're taught that all the presidents were good, and that the civil war freed the slaves. Not about the leasing of convicts, not about Johnson rescinding the 40 acres and a mule, not about oscarville or other similar places. I knew there was stuff under the lake, just from hearsay, but mostly I hear about Cherokee remains and a supposed curse from them that haunts the area. I learned a lot here, thank you gentlemen!
The hotter the planet get the more evil will be exposed. This is biblical.
They call it climate change. Actually we’re living in the last days.
when God comes for America I hope to be living elsewhere so I don't end up as collateral damage... because trust me, he will come for it....
@ourblazingworld Truthfully I feel consequences are beening applied little by little due to the U.S.A having both an Ugly and Beautiful side. God's punishment will never be full force at once.
I need to hear the blks tell the story because they will yell the truth
EXCELLENT presentation and content. Infuriating to listen to the evil that happened
so much history hidden from us . 27 and first time hearing about this
During the 1800 and 1900’s there were over 20 black towns and communities burned down and destroyed by white folks. Tulsa Oklahoma 1921-the Black Wall Street had schools , churches, banks etc all destroyed because a white woman cried wolf. Rosewood GA, same situation. White woman cried wolf again and a mob killed and burned down the all black town. All that land that belonged to black folks stolen! I can go on but for days about stories like this. Not surprised this is this is swept under the rug. It speaks volumes about that bloodline.
60 AND have studied black history for over 40 years and never heard of it... that tells you how deep stuff is buried. But what is done in the dark always come to light!
I'm born in Grady hospital in 1954 raised in roswell ga my dad Lewis Willie cook was born in Alpharetta ga
We as a family knows about Cummings ga
We know lake is cursed
Charles Frazier!? I'm a descendant of Frazier's from coffee county Georgia on my mom's side.. I wonder? I'll have to go over my family tree & see if I find Charles☺️
I watched this after seeing Files of the Unexplained episode “File: Hunting of Lake Lanier”. Excellently informative. Hope this picks up traction with people learning of Oscarville from that episode as well.
Is this not “terrorism” or is terrorism only a label for the abused? Like the brother said “ government is either unable or unwilling to do something about these atrocities”!!!
Tuned in for a history of Oscarville. Instead I received a lesson on racism in Georgia.
This is part of U S. history.
I don't think those things coexist separately... 🤷🏾♂️
Racism isn’t going anywhere. Therefore, it will always be a part of history.
That IS the history of Oscarville. Smh
It's a core part of its history. It can't be hidden it's coming to the suface
Just caught another body
Why this doesn’t have over a million hits??
because the AI algorithm has decided to remove the scales from our eyes... Phase 1 of the machine take over... knowledge is power
Thank you so much.
They way the 1st guy (host) was explaining this it makes sound like it's a fun place to visit. They're going to get people hurt or worse.
Yt folks as a group have a day of reckoning coming for the atrocities they've done to other groups of people. Spawns of satan!
Glad I saw this comment before I started watching. Looking for an unbiased informational video about this location, not someone advertising it as if it doesn’t have a dark history.
@@cmtravissss2526nah you should still watch it. It goes in depth and shares resources for descendants.
Why did they utilize him at all. Stumbling over his words. Cheapened the entire story
@@camster605 I think they used him cause he’s of color. The person he introduces is who gave all the info.
My family's name is Lanier... that's what brings me here
doing research for a novel and this was immensely helpful. thank you for this resource
What happened to the children that had nothing to do with this
Did this affect their future
Scholarships for children
Should this old video affect all children that have nothing to do with it..
Who else is here after finding out ...THEY building a DAMN water slide right over this lake for people to have fun 🤔😶
Guess the guy talking had to use a nuetral voice tone due to working with a state/ gov/ city agency.😮
great video!
Thank you. Very informative.
I believe it’s haunted for sure. There are souls trapped in that lake.
So did I misunderstand what I've heard. It appears that all of the people left the town (Oscarville) first then with no concern for the town infrastructure, cemeteries and the like that remained intact the town was then flooded for the 4 points reasons that was mentioned.
What I've been hearing in Georgia was that people were living in the town and it was flooded while the people were actively living there. So did I misunderstand what was stated during this presentation that people were actually gone and not living in the town as I've been told.
I'm confused. Thanks
- No . People were totally killed in the process tht refused to relocate !!
Took 6 years to flood..
40 years later.
The ppl were forced to leave before the town was flooded
As many people that was murdered there what do you think????
Just caught 3 more bodies

Add another 1 today
@@denise6976 and another one a few days ago. When will they learn?
Another one today
There are 2 things that I took issue with in this video: 1) At around the 27:00 minute mark, he says that the landowners in Oscarville were 'paid' to leave, paid for their land...considering how these people were treated in the neighboring county, that didn't seem plausible. 2) When he begins discussing the Forsyth Scholarships being offered to descendants of the 1912 Lynchings, there should be a list of names of landowners, so people can search to find out if they were in fact descendants of those owners.
In regards to the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, why are Republicans referred to as “radical”? I just want clarity. Thank you so much for this video!
You’re skipping Lincoln’s first Vice President, Hamlin, his story is a interesting one as well as why they didn’t want him running with Lincoln his second term:
Pictures are hung people are hanged. Sorry pet peeve. Continue so interesting!
It is grammatically correct to use “hung” for both. “Hanged”is a preference when referring to people but makes no difference. 🤷🏽♀️
"Pictures are hung, people are hanged. Sorry. Pet peeve. Continue. So interesting!" FTFY Sorry! It's a pet peeve of mine! 😂😂
Don't think I'd call it a city more like a town semantics
Are you from Delaware? You say wuder instead of water
And I bet they didn’t even do it.
