Episode description

History of black towns throughout the United States. Contrary to popular belief that black people created nothing in America, during Reconstruction which was after chattel slavery many black towns were established where former slaves built towns and settlement homesteads self-governed and economically self-sufficient. Those towns were targeted and sabotaged as the black towns had no way to stand against the oppressive tyranny of the united states power structure. Also discussed in part 2 are the "sundown towns" where black people were victims of violence and oppression in majority white towns. The term "sundown town" is derived from signs that would threaten black townspeople or visitors "nigger don't let the sun go down on you." If a black person was caught out at night in a "sundown town" would often be lynched. Critical Race theory is a device to hide a shameful history and brutality against the so-called negroes in America.
