Banished: How Whites Drove Blacks Out of Town in America is a documentary film about four U.S. cities, which were part of many communities that violently forced African American families to flee in post-reconstruction America. The incidents took place in the states of Texas, Missouri, Georgia and Indiana between 1886 and 1923.
African-Americans make up more than 54 percent of the population in the South, but many towns in the region remain all-white to this day. From 1864 to the 1920s, white Americans forced entire African-American communities off their land and out of their homes through lynchings and intimidation. Marco Williams’ film Banished takes a look at this buried chapter of history through the histories and present-day stories of black families whose lives and land were stolen, in areas such as Forsythe County, Georgia; Pierce City, Missouri; and Harrison, Arkansas—the headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan.
