When I was a nurse , my patient told me about this story. She had trouble completing the story she was so hurt. I asked her where was she born and she here in Florida. I asked why did you move to St. Petersburg and she began to tell me how her family was ran out. 😢😢😢
@@wallysmitty8659 Makes me sick to the stomach. What goes around comes back around. You reap what you sow. You know what they say about "payback" and "karma." I wouldn't want to meet either one.
Showed this in my 10'th grade high school class Tuesday. 1-3 out of 108 students had "heard of" the Ocoee massacre. This needs to be taught to every student.
Sir, this is my first time hearing this as well. Please keep teaching the children. I can not stop the tears flowing from my eyes. Thank you so much. Respect sent to you, blessing.
The sad part is this happened a lot all over America. Whole police departments to the governor were pushing and practicing racism openly. Black people were terrorized daily everywhere. My own family ended up in NYC because of this. My grandmother who experienced this is still alive.
God bless you and your family and i'm glad i read your comment because i NOW understand why all cities are crowded and over populated - it really makes sense to me now.
I can’t even imagine how it would feel to drive past the land of your recent ancestors knowing it was theirs until they were murdered and ran out of town.
@@Confessions089 But the Native Americans-- were already on this land! Africans were brought here to a foreign land ( & stripped of everything) They had no idea of what to expect- since in all actuality- the Whites created another race- when they reproduced w/the Slaves!. .WE /US- descendants of the Slaves! Their "bastard race"....that they don't want to accept & will never give equal rights to! What if they had never raped our females ancestors? Would WE still be Black ( as the night & since Africa was close to the Equator) as they are "White"???? Our hair are spiral curls & not meant to be long & straight! That would not have worked in Africa! But we were made to be ashamed of our color & hair! .. .That is still SO PREVALENT TODAY!... Being considered as 3/5ths Human Being- is the biggest disregard for Human Nature there is! Someone will have to--- "REAP WHAT---THEY HAVE SOWN"! 😮😢😮😮😢😢
@@Confessions089The colonization of what is now Florida started with the Spanish. Many Native tribes in the area were captured and enslaved by Spain. Some tribes completely died out or left to join up with other larger tribes. The Seminole lost some of their land but they survived and are very wealthy now. Native people hadn't even been granted citizenship at this time in 1920 and wouldn't be until 1924. The tragedy in this event was that Black people had been citizens since the end of the Civil War. They were either formerly enslaved or a descendant of a formerly enslaved person so they did not immigrate of their own free will. They were brought here. So they had rights as citizens. When people in the South say they had nothing to do with slavery, they did carry on with this racial oppression via Jim Crow laws and the killing and all these terrible events. It has always been European-American settlers who have done all the oppression. Black people settled on land the U.S. government had no right to give because they broke all 500 treaties (treaty law is part of the U.S. Constitution) with tribal nations. White Americans also had no right to that land. It was stolen land but no one blames the Black community because they were supposed to have been given land as a reparation for being stolen from their own people in Africa and enslaved for generations. It was various Native communities who had hidden enslaved people who managed to run away over years. Native people didn't resent Black people having land or their own communities.
I'm sick to m stomach. And to think we are still facing these evil people today. 100 years later. They don't teach this part of history in schools today.
They will NEVER teach true history in America's schools. How would they maintain the system of Racism White supremacy if they told the truth? How would people believe they are superior if they told the truth? No. Ma'am. To keep racism white supremacy alive, well and kicking, only LIES AND DECEIT will do.
And that's why if you look at America now racism is fighting to the full front to be known and recognised because the issues that you will not deal with will deal with you eventually and that's what we got right now !!
I was raised an hour from this location and only discovered this important moment in history tonight. Thank you to everyone who have created these documentaries, including family members of the victims. I am glad we live in the IT age where stories like this can be shared that were previously hidden and excluded from school curriculum. They are important.
Their are some who has got rich off of black Americans, Africans ect... and their descendants has trust funds, when most black people can't afford to give their children trust funds? "Yea, not all white or European's benefited from slavery but, most if not all others stood by and let it happened, went along with the mistreatment of black people for the last four hundred plus years, till this day in time! Their for-fathers, must have thought everyone was going to stay brain dead, uneducated while trying to stay in control of their lies, thieving, and evil behavior of others! "Always trying to control certain people, information, suppressing the truth, lying and scheming about things,talking about their amendment rights, religion ect.. "Well the Holly Spirit has been working for some time now, it is moving faster, people are seeing what is going on in the world.
Most White supremacists learn their chaos to non-whites from the very best of best, Britons. Divide, conquer, take, cause war, and then leave. Oh! And I forgot, bring the Bible with you.
I'm a former police officer and I grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida. My grandparents always spoke about the Central Florida area as very dangerous. I took a trip to Atlanta from South Florida. I stopped in Ocala to pickup a cousin. When my family found out that I was driving the back roads just north of Lake Okeechobee they went off on me. I thought they're just tripping out trying to scare me. Years later a friend who was from up north told of a one off incident that his older brother had experienced while driving to Orlando. He was followed by city police and then County Sheriff. He said that they never stopped him. However when he returned later they stopped him then proceeded to get him out of his car and checked it without any consent.
I heard the same to never take the back roads. Though it can be bad taking the most traveled these days. Have you learned what they did to the Haitians who occupied A1A or that long strip of N. And S. Ocean Drive where they took that land that now have all those million dollar + palatial homes along the beach fronts? I found that out by locals when I moved out of state to West Palm Beach. They even separate Palm Beach from West Palm Beach.

The current governor of Florida wouldn't let this story to be taught in schools because he'd call it "woke" history...to ignore things like this is to condone it
It’s crazy to think of how African American people literally want peace, justice and equality because if we were out for blood for everything that’s been done to us..... they’d really have something to worry about.
I'm Canadian but live in this country and in Florida now and your comment is so touching to me because it shows the depth of Spirit of black communities who are able to survive all the trauma that continues to occur, just in 'subtler' forms, but these communities continue to move forward! White Supremacists think their disgusting 'principles' weaken black people. It doesn't-it's bringing black, brown, white, pink, etc -all people together to speak out! White southerners really need to listen to these communities and start with a freakin' apology and widespread reparations. My living in Florida has shown me how deep this white ignorance and fear still run. I am sending all my black sisters and brothers so much support, compassion and love. I'm so sorry for all the trauma African Americans continue to face, and I'm sorry that we still have to talk about skin color. I envision a future where we just talk about humans living, loving, and working together to create more empathetic generations to come.
@Lyonah Judah I actually care very much. Sad that you are so angry that you will dismiss people who are actually just being supportive. You’ve misjudged me completely. It’s okay though. I will continue to have these uncomfortable conversations because it’s important we don’t give up on each other & open up doors, rather than slam them in each others’ faces.
I'm from Jacksonville Fl, and through all of the books given to me while in school, not one mentioned This! We learned about the Spanish, in Saint Augustine. Never knew about Rosewood Fl. But I knew the National Anthem. History will repeat itself if we fail to learn it. Prayers up for this families, may you one day get "Justice"
@DEBBIE PUMPHERY It's the same ...and yes this has been taught ...I learned about this in early 90's and in 1997, there was a movies released based on these events.."ROSEWOOD".
The more our parents and grandparents talk about these painful parts of history, the more they can't deny it! Speak up and force each city, state and this country to acknowledge what they took from us!
When it's well known that land was stolen, no matter how much time has passed, the highest value of that land should be paid by the state to the rightful defendant's! So many unknown massacres have happened in black communities throughout history. Thank you for making this documentary!
I remember going to Edgewater HS in Orlando. We were doing a project for Black History Month. So I did my research, looking for things that has happened in the area. This was the subject I chose. I went to present my assignment. The teacher stopped me(a white guy) and told me to sit down because he didn't want to hear it. I got written up and suspended. Saying I was causing a disturbance to the class. Come to find out his family was part of this hatred. It really shocked me and I stood my ground as soon as I returned to class that following week.

Native people know this story ourselves - the places you avoid because of an unnamed haunting tragedy, being stared at for existing where you are considered extinct, being pushed into the role of ambassador and apologist for a history that is not your doing, trying to be civil with the grandchildren of people who murdered your family in the past.
I lived in Winter Garden, Ocoee, Apopka, and Orlando between 1972 and 1991. I never heard the truth about this until now. I saw the signs in the 70s warning about sundown. The story that was told to me was that it occurred because of a rape. It was still shocking, but now even more so after finding the truth.
The mayor is a jerk. Period. He’s dismissive and lacks empathy. He talks about this massacre as if he’s describing a car crash. I would never believe he has my best interest at heart. Just the fact that he said, “African American or whatever you wanna call em” is all you need to know. No respect.
What do you expect? These Caucasians will never see People of African decent as equals. That’s why he acts like that. I am not surprised at his behaviour
Give black people respect. That’s what we demand today. We know we’ll never get our land back. And the police will still treat every black man different; less than as though they are presumed to be a criminal. Just like the slave holders told their family to believe that all slaves are liars up to no good lazy not worthy of being treated as a human being. That’s what white policemen believe because that’s how they have been raised. You can’t take that out of a person. So the majority of white policemen have been raised to be racist by their parents; grandparents and great grand parents. All across the United States in every city and town. It’s not rocket science to realize that cops are racists.

Maybe you didn't know because the story is not exactly true. You're brainwashed. Find the official report and stop believing the tube.

This documentary had an even greater effect on me, than the movie, Rosewood did. The movie troubled my spirit too, but this documentary cut to the core. I had so much sorrow, for what they went through. I want to applaud the blk leaders there, like on the city council, and all the others that spoke out on this video, for the committed stance they take to make things right, and to pull themself up out of that 1920 massacre. I'm very pleased with how they are preserving, and upholding the name July Perry, for his works, and how his end was. His name will never be forgotten. When the woman over the making his headstone said despite his works, they had buried him in a pompers grave, that was her reason, it was good, for my ears, to hear ppl speak like that, and right behind that I thought, my mama would have said something like that. Seems, nowadays, we live so robotically, trying to stay in our own lane, we don't have feeling, or care, to help someone not related. But those little bitty things, you do like that is what catches God's eye, and I do feel He's very pleased, by what He sees, being done, and getting done ✌🏽❤🙏🏻
Thank you, This needs to be talked about and taught in schools everywhere. America has a large problem acknowledging the the truth about it’s history and their unjust dealings.
“Them” or whatever you call “them”.... -Mayor of Ocoee describing African-American tax paying legal citizens. -The mayor masks his racism. He’s and people like him are not truly concerned about healing because of the perceived power in keeping the status quo. Keep “them” scared so “they” won’t stay or move in, in the first place with the intimidation he “tolerates” is abhorrently unacceptable!
4th generation native of Apopka; I’ve was told as far back as I can remember how racist the city of Ocoee was and the brutal things that happened, however, no names were ever mentioned. This documentary was truly enlightening.
Thank you for this! I grew up in Orlando, my great grandmother is the first black city & county commissioner in Orange County & I never knew about this! It’s always great to know the history of your hometown & surrounding areas!
Not possible, its been sold too many times, too much immovable property, streets, highways, homes, etc. Legitimate innocent owners, whites, Hispanics and even some blacks. Its just soooo much time has passed that it would effect current families. The best case would be compensation for cover ups and federal incompetence and racism.
they still can I just watched a documentary on channel 9 KQED it took 7 long years but they were paid and some of the land was given back the other land was built upon sections of a scattered mall home depot restaurants etc
Nah, not at all. This is the story of all america and really the world done to all people of color. No they will never stop or acknowledge their sin. There is a scripture in the bible I can't recall exactly what scripture, but it goes something like this." Your sins remains on you not because of the act but because you don't acknowledge it". I hope someone can pull that up. They can't ever acknowledge what they done, it's too much blood and the people and all who imparted these acts and their offspring will be forever swimming in the blood of their ancestors blood guilt.
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

I grew up in Florida from 1981 to 1990, when I attended late elementary school, middle and high schools. I'm Indian American. My father was a strong believer in civil rights. In 1985, my family built a dream house in an expensive neighborhood. But then my father got fired from his job at the state insurance agency in 1988, we almost got pushed out of Florida. You see, the reason my father got fired was because he was investigating a company that discriminating against African Americans. However, the "management" didn't like that, so they fired my dad. Because my father hailed from India and had habits of living beneath his means, we were able to keep the house and he was able to live there until his death about 5 years ago. The reason I'm talking about this is Florida has such a terrible history of racism. I'm glad I left Florida but I wish I could do something to help with the healing.
My Granny shared a story of her grandfather that was forced to move from Florida and landed in Bainbridge Ga that is similar to Ocoee.. Sad that Tulsa and now Rosewood because of cinema are the main stories we know of massacres... Durham NC, and others are now speaking.. The damning part is that most witness are now in the grave and those stories may never be known. My Granny never considered herself African, yet insistent on Indian as Geechee and Choctaw (Shatah) were prevalent. Even the family last name derived from Seminole (free or runaway slaves) is parted as Simmons and Sims. What they won't tell us should be a clue to who we truly are! Reparations is more than a financial contribution, land MUST be considered and that is why we will never see legislation towards it. It would turn the country upside DOWN

To the lady from Florida discussing how the African Americans in Florida had respected the #Republicans, because Lincoln had freed the slaves.

The recent grand wizard of the KKK, in an interview at #Ferguson, claimed that he has been a "life long Democrat."

What was kept in the dark will always come to light. This is so sad. From grade school to college I never heard about none of this until 2021. For all I know some could've been my family sad. Justice justice justice!
You make a very valid point. But my experience comes from a different angle. My memories of my grandparents at 41 years old, are becoming more and more faded. But what I can honestly say about both sides of my family, from one of the few counties in Mississippi where there were no known lynchings, is that they told us very little history in general. I think most poor people and even better off people, suffered at such a different level in the 20’s through the 50’s, as compared to the 70’s and on, that they just didn’t want to talk about it. The great depression, the wars, infant mortality, fewer vaccinations, fewer resources, no air conditioning, lack of food in the winter, etc was just not easy to live through after experiencing such a better quality of life later on after 1960. Had it been me, I wouldn’t have wanted to tell my son that their grandfathers cousin and business partner, etc. had tortured someone to their death, so basically that history is either lost or never told. That’s my opinion. It took too long, but it’s been 30 years since the older men in my family have sat around the dinner and made racist statements, and I haven’t seen a white person be openly racist to a black person for 25 years. My Colombian brother in law doesn’t believe me when I tell him that, but that’s the truth. It doesn’t change that people are still racist in their hearts, but that’s my experience as well as many of my friends who I speak with about these issues.
went I was growing up no one discussed any history either black or white etc.... I only found out when reading the news or much more recently youtube and the web... and no love is the damn wrong word to use for lots of reasons....
We need to be on code with each other we are to divided is one reason we can't get reparation...a lot of black people keep saying it was long ago...that true but our land and wealth is still here and we need it back.
I'm 2 towns over from Ocoee and was told about this story. I also heard that most of those bodies are on the property area the West Oaks Mall. That mall don't have that much business as of today and many years. I also knew a old man who told that story like a war story. I had a teacher who was married to the Pounds family member. Sad stuff man
Oh wow. There should be a way that the town or the mall could honor those people who were killed. They lost their lives, fled their homes, because of the KKK crushing their right to vote. I'd hope that they can be honored just as any war hero who fought for our rights. To think of people standing in line for hours to vote in 2020 parallels this history...it's mind-numbing.
As for children not being taught about that in school, that often happens. I grew up in Barnwell County, SC and never was never taught about the Barnwell Massacre.
OMG I lived in Ocala for 10 years and traveled to various places while there. I worked in Dunnellon, not too far from Rosewood, but I was oblivious to that as well for some years. What you don't know could literally kill you.
This is why Governor Ron Desantis is fighting to keep race theory out of Florida schools. I lived in Florida my whole life and not once heard of this until today. This is something we need to know. Thank you.
To the families that were affected by these terrible acts I just want to say I love you and I feel your pain. If nobody else cares I want you all to know that I truly truly care.
I grew up in Houston, Texas and I had never heard of the 1910 Slocum Massacre that happened in the county next to the one where my dad was raised. I had never heard of 1917 Camp Logan Riot and it was in Houston. My husband and his family are from Oklahoma and they had never heard of Greenwood in Tulsa.
@@nastynealsmancave6574 So I'm guessing that you haven't been paying attention to what's happening on a worldly spectrum😒There are very obvious things happening all at once... WORLDLY! Check it out and read the bible. Pestilence=covid The sword=black people getting murdered every day by our enemy Famine👉coming soon Civil unrest, ww3, nation against nation.... Ezekiel 5:17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
@@springer7288 history repeats itself; so does insanity. If you have knowledge of world history you know these things have and will continue happening (polarized forces keep balance in this universe). So again, just like if you don't like how your life is going, make a change, same applies on a worldwide scale. Know thyself
@toby wong A lot better? Lmbao. Stop it. With a mayor like that being dismissive about what happened including his wife I hardly doubt it's a lot better. Covert racism is a thing.
Growing up in Orlando I never heard this story. It is extremely infuriating! They should be so ashamed for doing this and burying this event. I knew the KKK was affiliated with the Democrat party, but I never have heard this extent of their violence in this area. They're racially motivated agendas are still going against and hurting Americans and in particular, the black community. I'm so proud of these Floridians for fighting for our country and then coming home and fighting for their rights and equality and so ashamed of the white aggressors and murderers that lived then and are still defrauding Americans into believing they have their best interests in heart. It's disgusting to me to see their more subtle racism indoctrinating and manipulating Democrat voters.
When my family went to Tulsa, the bad energy was there. And areas that could have been beautiful were ignored, not used, like a ghost town. I thought about Natives to the land , who were killed there, thinking that was where all that negative energy came from, but now I know it is from more than one massacre.
Never heard of this. I'm glad you shared this documentary. Open my eyes. I just found out about the killing in Tulsa in the 1920s. Schools should be teaching our children about all the past history.
They should teach but they refuse to. Ws do what they want because they own the schools and what is taught in the schools. That is why they want CRT to not have to teach atrocities of the past and even now their people committed against us and our native people. We must teach our own children the past though it was bad. Because those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
No!! We should teach our own children the history and the past atrocities inflicted on our ancestors. It will NEVER be published in any school book that the oppressors print. 😢
Hearing of these cowardly acts towards people who are just trying to make an honest living and obtain the right to vote, that they PAID FOR!! I'm ashamed to have been born and raised there. My Dad NEVER taught me that kind of hatred!! I'm ashamed of the cowards that hide under masks and ambush people in their own homes!!
My first time in America was in 2015 and I went to ocoee it’s seem like a nice quiet place. If had this knowledge I would have give my respect to my falling brothers and sisters
If your an outsider you'd not have none. Racism hides itself, its uses secrets and code words and hidden meanings. America was hell for our ancestor here. It's been an ongoing hell.
