- As talk of reparations crop up across the country, CNN’s John Avlon talks with historian Geoff Ward about the number of Black communities wiped out by mob attacks and how a young Senator Abraham Lincoln had warned the nation against disguising mob violence as political expression over a century and a half ago. Watch the latest episode of “History Refocused.”

01:56-05:02 The ripple effects of violence against the Black community
05:03-10:12 Geoff K. Ward on how racial violence threatens us all
So much for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Even when black people tried to do that, it was met with jealousy, anger and hate. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Considering the original meaning of "pulling yourself by your bootstraps" it is actually quite fitting. Basically, it means to do the impossible. What people of color have done in the face of adversity is both incredibly amazing and heartbreaking. I say heartbreaking because they had to go through such horrors, and still face the reverberations today. We need to get our heads out of the sand and work toward a better future.
@@namehere5675 I think most reasonable people would agree with you on that.
Great point! Sometimes, hard work isn't enough if you have people actively trying to oppress your progress or even destroy everything you've built.
@Jay Jay White on white crime happens more often than black on black crime. It's called crime only when white people commit it. If black towns weren't brutalized by jealous angry whites, we wouldn't have violence and poverty in Black communities. You sound like an angry white racist troll. I think that racist white cowards, such as yourself, will never see black people as human beings, deserving of justice and economic freedom. That's why we deserve reparations, for what your people did to my people.
@Jay Jay Maybe black people will focus on those people that truly deserve our vitriol and hatred, and defend themselves against angry white violent mobs, and (llik) yes intentionally misspelled, people such as you!
I lived in Tulsa from the mid 70's to the mid 80's and the only evidence of the Greenwood massacre was a small plaque on one of the original buildings. Tulsa has since built a monument and reconciliation park to document this tragic event. THIS is the type of history many narrow minded white people are AFRAID to have their children learn in school. These parents aren't doing their children any favors and we will NEVER break the cycle of racism and hate until we come to grips with our TRUE history instead of some whitewashed version.
Yes let's focus on the past and blame our short comings on history. VERY PRODUCTIVE!
@@RJL612 No. Let's all learn our collective past to understand how it effects things in the present, so we can correct some things and not repeat those mistakes.
EXACTLY......YET,they're against CRT....hmmmm,go figure.
@@RJL612 but let's not forget the holocaust. You sound pretty hypocritical to me.

We are an abusive spouse swearing we will do better while refusing to remember what we did wrong in the first place.
Nicely put but sadly, there are millions of Americans who don't see the need to do better.
America is a narcissist. We gaslight non white people and tell them that what they know to be true isn’t. We claim to be the best but our grades and ways shows different.
Dont tell anyone or itll be worse next time
Beautiful analogy
It has been a kin to a domestic violence relationship and it remains.
I remember finally learning about this history. I was shocked that I hadn’t been taught earlier. Entire towns wiped out, with NO repercussions to the mobs of murderers.
This is the history they’re trying to stop from being taught.
Again and again and again and again.
But to teach this it would be called critical race theory and white folks don't want this!!!
Thank you. We all must realize that black slaves were not fictional characters in a book from hundreds of years ago.
They were real people who's ancestors are alive and well in America today.
Their stories must be told and remembered.
What you mean " WE"? NO both Black and White know about this..Whites don't want their KIDS to know about this so they can be the next generation of Racists to maintain the Racist caste system.
We need a lot more shows like this. I was horrified at 35 years old to learn of this from a friend I worked with. I went home and researched it on the computer. It got much worse from there. Anyone complaining about woke culture is either a closet racist or grossly ignorant.
Avlon left out that it was a Democrat party run state with the KKK problem..they were ALL voted out and replaced with Republicans who were not the racists
@@marklasky3555 The Republican party of that time has nothing to do with the Republican party of today. For God's sake, Lincoln (VERY pro-labor) was penpals with Karl Marx at one point. Marx was actually very influential in the early days of your party. Things change, And yes, the Democrats were racist back in the day, too. (Pretty much everybody to the right of the CPA was.) That is, until the Democratic party actually stepped up and started pushing for civil rights legislation, at which point all the dixiecrats went and flipped Republican. "Republicans weren't the racists," pffft . Get your facts straight.
@@marklasky3555 Even if you leave out the party flip that happened in 1948, racism was not just a north/south or Democrat/Republican issue. It is an American issue that must be dealt with. But if it'll make you feel better to pretend that one party is the evil party then go right ahead. It's all good as long as you admit that there were, and continue to be horrific effects from racism in this country.
Parties are just pretend groupings that we created, the wrongs brought about racism are real and continue to affect people in our country today.
@@spookyhokum You don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Marx wrote him a letter congratulating him, and you think that Lincoln made any policy because of him?? What an idiot.. Lincoln's actions were the opposite of Marx's Das Capital Marx had zero influence. But the Democrats were the racists for the next 100 years while the Reps fought them but hey you still haven't learned you elected Joe Biden an actual segregationist racist
@@marklasky3555 Again open the history book and read.
I was born in 1951, I lived through McCarthyism, race riots in the sixties and Vietnam War. And here we are again. I thought we handled this. I am still learning about our history. This will never end until our country is held accountable.. What we did to our black soldiers in WWI is unforgivable. Our native Americans and during WWII Asian Americans while their son were fighting in the war. It will not change until we do.
Should we remind rape victims of being raped everyday? That should make things better for them, they wouldn't feel like a victim then.
I say we as a society should stay stuck in the past and dwell on it till the past is re written.
Learning from the past and moving forward is SO OVERRATED.
@@RJL612 It ain't to remind the victim, but to remind the rapist, that they have not been held accountable for what they did. Maybe that's why they fight for book-banning of things that illustrate that, or fake arguments about "CRT" (something that is not taught ANYWHERE but in particular graduate/law schools) because they don't want young people to know actually how deep racism still is.
@@pmneely63 they scared because they aren’t the only ones with guns anymore
@Phil Neely For starters no books have been banned since you can go to any bookstore and buy them.
If it's not being taught then there is no reason to be upset about banning something that's not even being taught.
@Phil Neely Who you trying to hold accountable? People that have been dead for hundreds of years? Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Should we start locking up sons or daughters of people that died serving a life sentence so they can take their place? That's what you're asking.
As a public school educator in 6th-12th grade for 21years, everyone should know that our kids do not get enough history or geography! They are clueless about WWI forward; even AP kids are clueless about the connections between economics and society.
It’s very sad that college is the first time student get history; but violence against citizens of any country is most often repressed-it’s not uncommon no matter how wrong that is.
Kids should be taught about the racist history of the Democrat party
White Privilege...
If whites weren't still scared racist in 2022 they would not be afraid of their children being taught racism from the 1900s and before
@ninja potato since you're such a racist why would u bother to watch this and learn the truth?
@@marklasky3555 I agree and how it BECAME The GOP aka Republicans!!!
The saddest part is the horrors themselves of course.
But I often think of the generational wealth and prosperity that was stolen from black Americans. Businesses, property, education, health, and yes power. All because others feared and hated them.
It's a debt that can never be repayed. And little wonder some want it all erased.
You all are ignoring the fact that ALL of Oklahoma was supposed to be Indian lands and if it wasn't for the plains that everyone thought would be great for ranching and farming they TOOK from the Native Americans.... Same for the DAKOTA'S...
I agree completely. People don't want to deal with the wrongs of the past because they want to pretend that it isn't affecting others in the present. Especially since, as you mentioned, this country owes those it wronged a debt that could never be repaid.
I can only hope that we will come to terms with our past wrongs, and try our best to help those who are suffering from the repercussions of those wrongs.
@@namehere5675 Facts!
You are so right!
@@marianlincoln9008 who are they? Me? You? My friends? What exactly do you think you want here? To tax me more for something I’m not even apart of? To tax my family for something no one even knows about because we may look like people that did something wrong in the past? What is the end game for you people when you talk about the past CONSTANTLY?
Thank you. I helped research the Ocoee Massacre as a founder of the Democracy Forum. I prefer the term "massacre" to "race riot" because those of us who grew up in the second half of the twentieth century "race riot" has come to mean the exact opposite of what we are trying to describe. In terms of Ocoee, Florida the Census records support the idea that it was an "ethnic cleansing". Some of the property was sold, but given that houses were being burned, it was literally fire sale prices. One of the reasons for documenting the events is to provide a retort to the rhetorical question, "Why didn't freed African-Americans" prosper in a generation or two like imigrants to the United States?" The answer seems to be freed African-Americans did prosper, but once they prospered their voting rights and property was taken away. The Ocoee Massacre (and ethic cleansing) happened on election day 1920 and was directly related to voting and not accusations of rape.
Well said. “Massacre”, or “mass lynching” are more accurate. Thank you for your work. Knowledge is strength
There is an enormous amount of violence against African Americans in the turn of the century in Florida, and little of it ever taught!
If you do further research ......like I did .....you will find there were over 90 massacres of blacks and native Americans where residents were murdered ......even children and their properties and assets were taken .....with no legal repercussions .....many members of law enforcement even participated in the carnage ......then there was the Tuskegee experiments where blacks were experimented on without their consent like guineau pigs for the effect of syphilis and left untreated intentionally ....even after penicillin was discovered ......this happened from 1932 to 1972 .....it's hard to believe that none of the presidents within that time frame wasn't aware of this......it becomes increasingly clear why some doesn't want the entire history of the country to be taught.
Terrorism , ethnic cleansing , destruction of communities.
Same stories like American Indians. Montana, Wyoming North and South Dakota. General Custer, Bloody Bozeman Trail. Also . Standing with African Americans. History not taught enough.
Indian is a word that means savage..
Either your negro, or non negro
No such Thang as an America indian
This stuff is only new to cnn and the rest of white Americans. My Grandmothers who actually lived through this stuff and are still alive today. Has been teaching me this history my entire life, I'm 34 now. It's very frustrating, and honestly this isn't even half of what was going on back then.
Yes, and it needs to be taught. It needs to be reckoned with and not brushed away by the Republicans who are afraid you might look more closely at their racist anti voting legislation they're trying to put into play as we speak.
I can only imagine how frustrating it is. I'm glad that this information is becoming public knowledge. I want to become aware of all of our history, and I think that every single American should be made fully aware of it. These horrific events have been swept under the rug for far too long.
It is time to stop pretending that it didn't happen. It is time to bring out all of the dirt and skeletons in our closet and recon with it. Only then can we begin to really improve and become a nation that works toward a better future. We need to accept our past wrongs and how they affect those that are alive today. Then we need to do what we can to correct the imbalances caused by our past wrongs.
I'm sure FOX has been reporting on this for years, right?
@UCG3ZFmlA_D0mVD0rFtQ4tMA Voting legislation that is currently being enacted by the Repub party is intentionally being put in place to suppress the black vote. How many times have Repubs been called out and forced, by the courts, to change their Gerrymandered recalculations because they explicitly targeted black communities in an attempt to disempower their votes. Who doesn't care about this stuff? This is massive. It's relevant and its an extension of the racist policies of the past.
Slique Vicbutvit IS new to us. Being raised in White (I now understand redlined) suburbs, not only were we not taught this, but we had no way of knowing it! There was no internet, no journalists available to us were reporting on this, AND there was not a single POC in school! We didn’t even really realize that, statistically speaking, our class should have included 13% black students. Now we’re in the information age, and we have no excuse. We cannot allow the racist right wing to take over our governance, starting at the school board level! It is quite important that we keep fighting the good fight. Please remember to vote in the midterms.This is the time to vote a straight Democratic ticket. And encourage qualified sane people to run for local government positions such as school board member
Thank you Mr. Avlon. I'm an Okie, originally from Oklahoma and believe me this subject NEVER was taught in our schools.
My ancestor made the mistake of putting his money in a bank in Rayle, GA in the early 20th century. He went to withdraw some money . He was told to leave his bank book and return the next day. He did and the account had a zero balance. The family was chased out of GA. My ancestor owned 125 acres in GA and started life over in WV. He was in his '70s.
I am so sorry. It deeply hurts me to hear these stories. My father and mother have told me countless stories. Most high bless.
That story is important and unforgettable. These things never ever occur to me, either what a crooked banker did or having to be sophisticated when dealing with one. Heartbreaking. Thank you for your post.
@@intercat4907 Thank you so much. Honestly he should have known better. He was born free in the West Indies or the UK and somehow came to the US and was enslaved. When I looked at the census and saw him in WV I literally cried. Imagine having to start all over in your '70's. He worked for the white school as a janitor. They found him deceased in the basement one morning. It was written in the newspaper but I've not been able to find the article.
@@brandonl375 Thank you, it hurts. These stories need to be written and recorded for history..
@@monarnyc yes they absolutely do. I appreciate you sharing this with us. O hope one day justice is absolutely served.
Current events suggest that racism and discrimination in America is as prevalent as ever and is baked into all of the major institutions such as Justice and Banking.
It's is.

My extended family comes from Springfield MO. When I was in my mid-thirties I flew alone to Springfield for the death of a beloved great uncle. I got the paper when I was there and found on the front page an article about Springfield's efforts to entice black people back to the town. The story of when three innocent black men were hanged and burned for supposedly assaulting a white woman. Despite having alibis. Despite the victim saying they were not her assailants. Springfield lost its entire black population as the residents fled in fear, never to return.
My family never told me that story. I only found it as an adult. And the beloved uncle? His father proudly took him to that lynching when he was ten years old and perched the child on his shoulders so he could get a good view. I only learned the last part when I confronted my mother with the article. She didn't think it was a big deal that I was never told.
Oh wow
This is the conversation america needs to have.
@@fitawrarifitness6842 you got that right,
America in those days was like seventeen century Europe, it was the only place in the 20th century where human beings were burned alive. Talk about barbarism.
It's messed up how Lincoln's speech mentions politically motivated violent acts becoming "legitimate political discourse" because just recently some politician said this very thing about what happened on Jan 6 was just that. Legitimate political discourse.
Thank you for sharing these tragic events! I'm an Asian American here in Georgia, and racism affected the Asian community as well. My grandparents immigrated to the US as "Paper Sons" during the Chinese Exclusion Act, and my adopted family last name still bares the unfortunate mark of that racist era! As a child of the 1960's and as an adult now, I've witnessed first hand that racism directed at me personally. From what I see, it'll take generations for the scourge of racism to work its way out of our society!
Justice for Asian !! Return the lands to natives, and let em decide !!

Why are you posting 1000+ comments on here is the real question?
@Troy Mixwell because I have to rebute CNN's lies and their cover story excuses for the Biden Administration.
@@RemoteViewer1 what is lie about what you just saw?
Please take several seats.
@@RemoteViewer1 How's that working out so far? Be honest.
@Jeremy A Well?...
John Avlon is a national treasure!
Ain't he. I look forward to "Reality Check" every day.
This is the history that some people are afraid of kids learning about. They want a fairytale instead of the truth. Facts don't care about your feelings!
Democrats want to peddle myth instead of fact and replace history with political advocacy.
@@X2LR8 You mean like the don't teach facts that may hurt white kids feelings law in Florida, or the book banning in TX and VA?
@@X2LR8 I'm curious. What myths are dems teaching? any proof, or is this simply more avoidance of history by right wingers?
Right wing snowflake tears in this comment section are glorious.
This is not CRT, this is American History.
However bad you think systemic racism is, it’s worse than that.
Reparations, Reparations, Reparations for foundational black American
Thank you! Keep telling these kinds of stories about our shared history!! And the immortal words of Rodney King “can’t we all just get along!!”
Our country has a racist history not teaching our kids this complete history just ensures we repeat it at some point in the future.
This the first time, that I have ever heard anyone tell the truth about this problem here in America. Wake Up!
Thanks John Avalon!
It's hard for me to watch this without getting angry. #Reparations
Thank you. This series is urgently needed.
Hmmm why those people who did that are some of them alive and how do they feel do they have kids
No there not white were killedtoo . They shot at each other . They klantifa it . Those democrats
I want to know if McNary Arizona still exist. I visited that all black community in the 70’s but have not heard of it since. Not on maps. I wanted to see if it grew any. Small rural town back then.
I learned about this and many other atrocities on my own. This was not taught in PG County MD schools where I grew up. However, When I had my own children, I sought out a school that would teach my babies, now grown-ups, about themselves and their ancestors. The lives they lived so the rest of their descendants can survive and thrive. I am not happy with The USA education curriculum. Now, I have a grandbaby and she will know that her blood ancestors put up with a lot of BS to make sure she had life and lived it fully. Shame on those that purposely do not know, want to know, or understand who the phuck they are.
I went to high school in PG County also and you are telling the truth.
All I can say is… “Thank you so very much CNN!” 🙏🏽💜
Thank you the perfect program right now need to advertise more I didn't even know about it till I ran across it on RUclips
Thank you John for presenting a much NEEDED program about another part of America’s truth. So sad but much be exposed. Thank you again for your effort.
Great reporting ✊
A well done series. Thank you.
Brilliant!!! Please keep making these videos!!!

Racism isn't dead, it's on life support, being kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people that get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as racist. - Thomas Sowell 👏
Racism is far from on life support!!!
It was dead until blm revived it

Guy goes into a bar, there's a robot bartender. Since the minimum wage was increased to $15 the owner replaced his human bartender with a robot to stay in business.
Robot:"What will you have?"
Guy:"Martini."
Robot brings the best martini the guy has ever tasted and says,
"What's your IQ?"
Guy: "168."
The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration, and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but is curious, so returns to the bar.
Robot: "What will you have?"
Guy: "Martini."
Again robot brings a great martini and asks:
"What's your IQ?"
Guy: "100."
The robot then proceeds to discuss NASCAR, Budweiser, football, and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves but, still curious returns to the bar.
Robot: "What will you have?"
Guy: "Martini."
Again robot brings a great martini and asks:
"What's your IQ?"
Guy: "Uh, about 50?"
The robot leans in real close and asks, " So, you people still happy you voted for Buy-dem?"
I really appreciate this series
No one once to face the ugly truth of American history .
Thanks for the knowledge
I actually learned about this in school went to Catholic school so they thought of everything I got a B+ on my report with this could have been a but I didn't really want to learn about it at the time🤔

Thank you for sharing this story. History needs to be taught for us to change for the better. Justice Matters for the families.
The role of white clergy and white church congregations has always amazed me. Such fear-driven hatred backed by such self righteous omnipotence.
Jesus must be so proud...
That's CRT..and it's making me feel bad..hide that history in case we might have to repeat it.. QUICK!
You won’t repeat it , you can take that to the bank
I hope this is a continuing series on the truths of American history
Great class, can’t wait to hear about more! Thank you
They will always tell you what happened to them, but they will never tell you why.
Why is there always an excuse?? Black ppl can never have an excuse for anything but white ppl are allowed to act in violence bc of an excuse… take responsibility! No one makes someone act in a way that these ppl acted… whenever there is a riot due to something that occurred to a black person … no excuse is good enough for black ppl to riot…but for white ppl they had a good reason… get the absolute FU@ out of here!!
Please enlighten us, Why?
@Jim Pearson Oh, so black people had it coming! Please tell us what those black people did to have their businesses destroyed and hundreds of them killed. Since bias CNN didn't tell us the full story I'm sure you wouldn't mind informing us.
BRIANNA KUPFER 👈🏻👈🏻 So horrible what this racist did to her. Look her up.
Thanks for covering this.
Sick, evil and demonic creatures
I don't think any one but God can know how many were killed or how much was stolen.
It's a good thing to remember our past and understand how it has led to our present. This will enable us to choose our future.
When people are treated like they are Dogs, no one should complain when they Bite Back !!
This is a series?
@CNN Why don’t you have CC for this?
Hey!
You can't teach American history!
Someone might feel bad.
True, but think about the NUMEROUS number of other natives that took land from other natives. This is how life works, y’all don’t say anything about natives killing and enslaving natives for prosperity, you only care because white people did it. You can’t judge the standards today by those of the past, for every 5 white slave owners there was one black one. Blacks in Africa hunted their own and traded them to America and other parts of the world. The US was one of the very first countries to ban slavery… a war was fought with white republicans against white democrats, blacks also joined and fought with either side. Baffled that people think white people are evil, when it was whites AND blacks enslaving blacks and white AND blacks fighting the racist democrats. It is easier to brainwash someone than to convince someone that’s been brainwashed.
They refused to pay out insurance to these people. This country owes a lot…
Why is it so hard for you to mention native indigenous peoples???
Why when the conversation is being discussed about black people does this aways come up. Are the native Americans talking about black people? Black people always include Native Americans and POC in their discussions but Native Americans never support the discussion when its about black Americans. And their atrocities? Why does it have to be more than that for right now? Why?
@@janejohnson6912 because our history’s are intertwined and connected… and to separate us is only hiding the full truth..! We need to stand together and demand change as a whole as one regardless of cultural differences we are both robbed, murdered, tortured, molested, raped, enslaved, etc…. And still happens to this very day. No more sell outs on either side we stand together on our issues because they are the same. That’s why I said what I said. No more dividing and conquering! Stand as one and stand strong✊🏽✊🏿✊ against colonialism
