This history needs to be told.

[@fawnnicole1430]

This is so relevant right now, especially in light of the Presidential results. I cannot wait to attend the premiere in Wilmington.

Shameful... Yet this has happened many times in many cities by one demographic towards more than just the African American demographic.

Like when ? Sorry I'm not sure what to search for

[@wildwaning9427]

When, where and what degree? Was it codified into law? This event and others like it were tied directly to Slavery/Reconstruction. Were those that you're speaking of?

Damn shame. History is good,but America has a lot to answer for when it comes for the mistreatment of people. United States is still the greatest country in the world.

Great doesn't mean good, Alexander the so called great, was a tyrant, and America has tyrannical tendencies as well, racism, genocide, apartheid, America is great, the Great Babylon
