Film - Banished: American Ethnic Cleansings : Indybay

A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition Film Series
Banished: American Ethnic Cleansings

Between 1860 and 1920 the Black residents of hundreds of U.S. cities, towns and entire counties were expelled from their homes. “Banished” vividly recovers the too-quickly forgotten history of racist “ethnic cleansing,” when thousands of African Americans were driven from their communities by violent, racist mobs.

“Banished” raises the larger question: Will the United States ever make meaningful reparations for the human rights abuses suffered, then and now, against its African American citizens? Can the long and terrible history of racism and national oppression be overcome without them? 2007, 84 min.

Sponsored by A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism)
