From the 1860s to the 1920s, dozens of towns and counties across America violently expelled entire African American communities, forcing thousands of black families to flee their homes. A century later, these towns remain mostly white. BANISHED tells the story of three of these communities and their black descendents, who return to learn shocking histories.

BANISHED premieres Tuesday, February 19 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

  • Would love to see comments on this from the guys at Fox (Hannity and others)

  • I live in the community called Greenwood which is the African American community in Tulsa,Oklahoma. 86 years ago if the white community had their way in 1921 our town would be featured in the great work. Thank you for this project. P.S. is it available on bootleg? :)
