Banished
Description
"Recounts the forgotten history of racial cleansing in America, when thousands of African Americans were driven from their homes and communities by violent racist mobs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries ... The film places these events in the context of present day race relations, by following three concrete cases of towns that remain all -white to this day: Forsyth County, Georgia; Pierce City, Missouri; & Harrison, Arkansas"--Original container.
