Trouble Behind
Description
Like many industrial centers, Corbin, Kentucky - birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken - attracted African-American sharecroppers looking for better-paying jobs during World War I. But when white veterans returned from the war, economic competition heated up, and on one October night in 1919 black citizens were literally railroaded out of town. The events of that night are reconstructed in this documentary with the help of newsreel clips and interviews with eyewitnesses and scholars, while Corbin's current residents deny the town's "whites only" reputation and evade its haunting past.
