‘We want our land back’: for descendants of the Elaine massacre, history is far from settled
The Elaine race massacre of 1919 is understood as one of the worst in US history. Parts of the story are still in dispute
www.theguardian.com
Here is a story that is new to me. The effects of the slaughter are still being felt today. In the article they actually interview a bloke whose beloved grandfather was a lyncher.
There seem to be a number of these atrocities coming to light all the time. Perhaps President Joe should create a truth and reconciliation commission to investigate the massacres and deal with the theft. There seems to be a concerted effort to subjugate Black folk.
Not many movies get made about these stories.
