Massacres Denied Part I: Slaughter in Slocum
This year’s rapt attention on the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921 has awakened America to its sordid past, but since 1863 up until the present, there are hundreds of well-documented instances of Black/African Americans being murdered, terrorized, and stripped of their property. That history, though, has gone unrecorded, untaught, and purposely purged from most history books. Join Dr. Carol François and Kourtney Square, her niece, as they expose the racial purging, massacres, land theft, and exile of Black/African Americans that has rarely been discussed or redressed.
