The Ocoee election-day massacre
November 2, 1920
Ocoee, Florida
A Black landowner named July Perry backed a neighbour's attempt to vote after being turned away at the poll. A white mob burned the Black quarter, killed an unknown number of people and drove out every remaining Black resident. Ocoee had none for over forty years. Florida made it required school teaching in 2020.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
