Voting and Violence in Ocoee, Florida 1920: America's Forgotten Massacre

In Town on Fire host Garrison Hayes takes us through the harrowing events of Ocoee, Florida in 1920, where the quest for voting rights led to the deadliest day in modern American political history. Part three of this five-part series dives into the story of the African American community in Ocoee, who, despite facing threats from the KKK and white supremacists, courageously attempted to exercise their constitutional right to vote. The brutal response culminated in the lynching of community leaders and the decimation of Ocoee's black population, effectively erasing their economic presence for generations. Garrison explores the enduring importance of voting rights and the lengths to which those in power will go to suppress them.
