From the 1860s to the 1920s, towns across the U.S. violently expelled African American residents. Today, these communities remain virtually all white.

As black descendants return to demand justice, BANISHED exposes the hidden history of racial cleansing in America.

ITVS Community, NBPC, Center for Investigative Reporting and Two Tone Productions are proud to support BANISHED with Community Cinema screening events and materials in support of its national broadcast on Independent Lens on February 19, 2008.
