Episode 7
Wednesday, 9 March, 2022
Forsyth County, GA, is described as a "Hospitality Highway" community known for its small-town charm and big-city proximity. But it’s also known for something else… Up until recent years, the county, located less than an hour’s drive from downtown Atlanta, was all white; not by happenstance, but through violence. In September 1912, all 1098 of Forsyth County’s Black residents fled for their lives, leaving behind property, forever tearing families apart, and taking with them, a lifetime of unspeakable pain, fear, and trauma. They were gone in a matter of weeks, never to return. In observance of Black History Month, this is the first true crime tale in Criminal Injustice. This is the tale of a Racial Cleansing in America.
