Massacres Denied Part II: Cicero Siege

Believe it or not, the Tulsa Race Massacre only scratches the surface. Join Dr. Carol François and her niece Kourtney Square for Massacres Denied Part II: Cicero Siege to hear about the ongoing resistance to Black/African Americans buying homes and living in what were considered white enclave neighborhoods. Their four-part special series Massacres Denied exposes how Black/African Americans have been targets of domestic terrorism, racial purging, massacres, land theft, and exile intended to deny them equal housing, fair employment, and general protection to live, work, and thrive in America. This history, though, has gone unrecorded, untaught, and purposely purged from most history books.
