The City of West Hollywood is premiering the film “Banished” which documents how dozens of towns across America violently expelled entire African American communities from the 1860’s to the 1920’s.
Thousands of black families were forced to flee their homes. A century later, these towns remain all white. “Banished,” tells the story of three of these communities and their black descendants, who return to learn shocking histories.
