(re)Defining History: Uncovering the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre

Learn the truth about one of American history's deadliest outbreaks of racial violence.
In September 1906, at least 25 African Americans were killed and hundreds more injured after false reports of white women being assaulted by Black men sparked a wave of uncontrolled violence from white residents.
(re)Defining History: Uncovering the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre, produced by WABE Studios in partnership with the National Center for Civil and Human Rights and narrated by noted Atlanta historian Dr. Maurice Hobson, explores the truth behind the massacre, what led to the violence, and how it spawned resilience in the Black community.
The documentary features interviews with descendants of victims of the massacre, historians, and modern Civil Rights activists.

    There was so much discouragement occurring too my ancestors that it’s mind boggling that we as a race survived. But that’s our strength, survivability, strength, courage and at that time I believe we were a more United race of people. We have lost that attribute these days. Cash is,king, materialism has taken the place of unity and pride. I’m sure the spirit of,my ancestors are rolling in their resting place.

    Thank you for unburying the history of truth that would bind the progress of facing the need to protect, educate, and shape the thinking and of our people. To gain control and not allow the powers of groups to segregate and divide the progress of us building and standing as a people. History has shown us that control and protection of what you earn and learn are crucial for growth and respect of self and family. Our future like there's is important for life. No nation in full control of another will ever stand as sharing and working together as people under God if only one group holds power. Power to control jobs, housing, policing of neighborhoods and communities. Through learning truth the balance of right to exist and provide as well as sharing the wealth and growth of areas we now live in. An example of control would be the state of Utah as and example of hoe people working together to insure the existence of there community is important as access to water. Self respect and the opportunity to development interaction among ourselves as like other races have done is crucial. If one group experience fair trade they are on the path of sharing and greed will not flarerish and lead to supremacy of another group. America wants fair trade with other countries, but through their history many countries are seeing that the bottom line is not true. History proves that greed has tainted the thinking of many countries and war is the result of lies and control of resources to get other countries to comply with the system which is in place. The dollar, oil , and resources along with violence over many years has lead the world into mistrust and division. The treatment of Native Americans and Blacks has proved to be a pattern of behavior that leads to were we find ourselves today. Actions and not words will make or brake us. 6/25/24

    There are so many stories like Tulsa and Atlanta in America that they refuse to talk about. Racial terrorism of this kind happened in New York, Boston, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, etc... This country owes Black Americans a great deal. It is disgusting to deny that truth and demonic to deny any form of monetary reparations for Black Americans. This country will pay one way or the other for their demonic history towards Black Americans then AND now.

    There’s almost 50 million of us here now, the third largest ethnic group (second probably if you don’t just lump all Latinos into the same category) I don’t think your suspicions are unfounded, but I also don’t think the reactionary aspects of this country aren’t completely deranged. They’ll pass laws and move the government in ways that ultimately hurt black people, but Jim Crow coming back in ANY way shape or form would literally cause a civil war, and they know this.
