[@felipauzzle901]

They put this line into the movie too...this is such a sad part of history that you don't hear of much, If at all and these are the things that should be taught, to keep from repeating history it has to be taught. You can't just sweep it under the rug and forget about it. History like this needs to be discussed because those that lost their lives and the ones that survived deserve to be remembered at the least 😢

[@areniz15]

Why didn’t I learn this in school????

[@delisalondon]

They don’t want y’all to know the truth in order to keep the system the way they have it. Even Central Park was black owned before it even became a park. They did the same thing they did to Rosewood and stole the land and murdered my people. This new Generation is better though because being fresh out of school, having many friends of various ethnicities and seeing how much hasn’t changed for Blacks is heart wrenching. The young have purer hearts so they know it’s wrong. Racism is taught, it’s not something white people are born with. That’s why it’s so important to stand for what’s right now for a better tomorrow. Before they begin to corrupt these young minds.

[@kikiluna1]

America hides all of its evils, and they avoid taking about the truths that show most early US presidents were slave owners. They only talk about Martin Luther King, but they avoid talking about the horrors Malcom X faced throughout his life at the hands of racist white people. They don’t talk about Nat Turner, or Haiti’s leaders who were responsible for fighting oppression and slavery to become the first black nation to be free from colonial oppression. If knowledge is power, then America knew fully well, that by depriving Black Americans of the knowledge of the horrors their ancestors faced, they would take away that form of power from black people as well. Knowing about political leaders in the black community creates revolutionary minds. They wanted to silence those possibilities. Look at what white owned music labels did to the hip hop industry after Public Enemy released Fight the Power, and NWA released F the Police. They threatened to ban the music, which goes against free speech. They then went ahead and started to censor the music even more to drive more advertising sales. Universal Media Group, which owns Def Jam, Interscope, Death Row Records, Bad Boy Records and many other labels, got rid of the street teams at record labels that promoted more underground and socially conscious hip hop artists to prevent the movement that Public Enemy began with Fight the Power. They had thousands of people protesting police brutality in the video, which was directed by Spike Lee. This is why songs like that aren’t common anymore. The labels only care about selling content to largely white advertising companies. Ignorance is bliss, and America loves to sell the illusion of bliss, but not the reality of it. Most of the bliss white America has, came from the backs of black people’s labour. They then steal the music, and sell blue eyed soul, after telling black musicians that R&B doesn’t sell. That’s not the truth, the truth is simply that the labels do not want to promote black love, nor do they want to promote the positive musicians who create R&B music.

[@terellchosen1381]

Unfucking believable...I'm from FL born and raised and never knew this

[@sharlawilliams2100]

Exactly

[@ericawebb96]

They don't teach this in schools because it goes against them and they don't want to be exposed for who they are. They created the stories that makes them look like hero's but we know that the real hero's are all the black activists whom suffered and die for their rights, our rights. I pray that we continue to stand together and educate ourselves, our children to be as powerful as our Father in Heaven created us to be!!

[@neilfullagar3249]

I was born in Gainesville, where many of the survivors fled, 29 years later. I have no doubt that in my youth I laid eyes on both victims and perpetrators. I knew absolutely nothing of this until the 80s. A conspiracy of silence reigned, for too long.

The late John Singleton did a fantastic job about this story Inna movie he did in the 90s. That movie was how alot of people found out about the story. Of course the history makers tried to say only around 40 people died,but the families n survivers say it was more around 1-200. I will believe their account because they had to bury their relatives n account for the bodies. This lady was so traumatized she never told her family. This is a part of history that should never be forgotten. Those families eventually got recognized in a law suit,I'm not sure if they were rewarded money.Just like other tragedies like this they owned their land and lost it never to be compensated.....

Incidents like this happened all over the country, north and south. During and after reconstruction new black communities began to spring up. Many showed great success and promise economically, educationally, etc. as they began to grow and match or out perform near white communities they were all attacked. Many were destroyed all were wounded greatly. This is just one example of dozens. Black people that moved to cities were met with a slower less obvious assault, but no less devastating. Many of the latter attacks still occur.
