WABE releases documentary about Atlanta race massacre

• The film is narrated by Atlanta historian and Georgia State University professor Maurice Hobson, and explores what led to what's been described as Georgia's largest outbreak of racial violence.
• It was produced in partnership with the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.

Flashback: Over four days in September 1906, angry groups of thousands of white men — spurred by sensational and unsubstantiated news stories about Black men sexually assaulting white women — killed at least 25 Black people in Atlanta over the course of four days. Two white people were killed.

• Black men, women and children were beaten and communities and businesses, including the barbershop owned by Alonzo Herndon, were vandalized.

Of note: Last week, researchers announced they confirmed the identities of two previously unknown victims: Stinson Ferguson, 25, and 13-year-old Marshall Carter.

• Their names were submitted to the Equal Justice Initiative to be added to its National Memorial of Peace and Justice.
