Learn the truth about one of American history’s deadliest outbreaks of racial violence. In September 1906, at least 25 African Americans were killed and hundreds more injured after false reports of white women being assaulted by Black men sparked a wave of uncontrolled violence from white residents. (re)Defining History: Uncovering the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre, produced by WABE Studios in partnership with the National Center for Civil and Human Rights and narrated by noted Atlanta historian Dr. Maurice Hobson, explores the truth behind the massacre, what led to the violence, and how it spawned resilience in the Black community. The documentary features interviews with descendants of victims of the massacre, historians, and modern Civil Rights activists.
