The Forgotten Massacre: Oscarville, Georgia (1912) – Episode 306 of Trey’s Table"
In 1912, the thriving Black community of Oscarville in Forsyth County, Georgia, was violently destroyed. After the rape and murder of a white woman, two Black men were lynched without trial, and white mobs terrorized Black families—burning homes, churches, and schools. Over 1,000 Black residents were forced out, and Forsyth County became an all-white "sundown county" for generations.
On Episode 306 of Trey’s Table, we uncover this buried history: Who benefited from the stolen land? How did lies and silence shape the county’s future? And why does Oscarville’s story still matter today?
