@@Confessions089The colonization of what is now Florida started with the Spanish. Many Native tribes in the area were captured and enslaved by Spain. Some tribes completely died out or left to join up with other larger tribes. The Seminole lost some of their land but they survived and are very wealthy now. Native people hadn't even been granted citizenship at this time in 1920 and wouldn't be until 1924. The tragedy in this event was that Black people had been citizens since the end of the Civil War. They were either formerly enslaved or a descendant of a formerly enslaved person so they did not immigrate of their own free will. They were brought here. So they had rights as citizens. When people in the South say they had nothing to do with slavery, they did carry on with this racial oppression via Jim Crow laws and the killing and all these terrible events. It has always been European-American settlers who have done all the oppression. Black people settled on land the U.S. government had no right to give because they broke all 500 treaties (treaty law is part of the U.S. Constitution) with tribal nations. White Americans also had no right to that land. It was stolen land but no one blames the Black community because they were supposed to have been given land as a reparation for being stolen from their own people in Africa and enslaved for generations. It was various Native communities who had hidden enslaved people who managed to run away over years. Native people didn't resent Black people having land or their own communities.

I grew up in Florida from 1981 to 1990, when I attended late elementary school, middle and high schools. I'm Indian American. My father was a strong believer in civil rights. In 1985, my family built a dream house in an expensive neighborhood. But then my father got fired from his job at the state insurance agency in 1988, we almost got pushed out of Florida. You see, the reason my father got fired was because he was investigating a company that discriminating against African Americans. However, the "management" didn't like that, so they fired my dad. Because my father hailed from India and had habits of living beneath his means, we were able to keep the house and he was able to live there until his death about 5 years ago. The reason I'm talking about this is Florida has such a terrible history of racism. I'm glad I left Florida but I wish I could do something to help with the healing.

I stopped in Ocala to pickup a cousin. When my family found out that I was driving the back roads just north of Lake Okeechobee they went off on me. I thought they're just tripping out trying to scare me. Years later a friend who was from up north told of a one off incident that his older brother had experienced while driving to Orlando. He was followed by city police and then County Sheriff. He said that they never stopped him. However when he returned later they stopped him then proceeded to get him out of his car and checked it without any consent.

White Supremacists think their disgusting 'principles' weaken black people. It doesn't-it's bringing black, brown, white, pink, etc -all people together to speak out! White southerners really need to listen to these communities and start with a freakin' apology and widespread reparations. My living in Florida has shown me how deep this white ignorance and fear still run. I am sending all my black sisters and brothers so much support, compassion and love.

The damning part is that most witness are now in the grave and those stories may never be known. My Granny never considered herself African, yet insistent on Indian as Geechee and Choctaw (Shatah) were prevalent. Even the family last name derived from Seminole (free or runaway slaves) is parted as Simmons and Sims. What they won't tell us should be a clue to who we truly are!

I am 47 years old, and I have never heard of the Ocoee Massacre. I think it is very important for all students to learn about, just as the atrocities from wars past, why would not this be just as significant? Especially for the fact it happened here! It is impossible to change what you don't even know exists. I used the word exists because this is very much present day, this tragedy is a "life force" of it's own. To say it was something that happened, to me makes it easier for people to dismiss. If you truly listen to the words of all the people interviewed, you can feel every single one of them. History books in schools are wrong, by leaving July Perry out, leaves out the truth as to the actual beginning of black Americans fighting for their constitutional rights. Like black American activism spontaneously pulled a page from the "big bang" and poof, plethora's of people started protesting in the 60's outta nowhere. After watching this it makes more sense now. Wow, I am completely shocked, speechless, I'm shaking my head in disbelief, just wow. God Bless you all. Ocoee and it's people are truly beautiful.

This has happened over and over since the beginning of time yet people still think there is a good side and a bad side to ALL systems of governance around the world. There is not, its ALL one system and its revealed in our KJV HOLY BIBLE as well as exposed who the players are. We have allowed these crimes against us and our fellow mankind. The worst slaughter of humans in world history is unfolding and no matter what we do to try and stop it we will not alter its course ONE IOTA. I hope the best for you and your loved ones! Best Wishes!

This documentary had an even greater effect on me, than the movie, Rosewood did. The movie troubled my spirit too, but this documentary cut to the core. I had so much sorrow, for what they went through. I want to applaud the blk leaders there, like on the city council, and all the others that spoke out on this video, for the committed stance they take to make things right, and to pull themself up out of that 1920 massacre. I'm very pleased with how they are preserving, and upholding the name July Perry, for his works, and how his end was. His name will never be forgotten. When the woman over the making his headstone said despite his works, they had buried him in a pompers grave, that was her reason, it was good, for my ears, to hear ppl speak like that, and right behind that I thought, my mama would have said something like that. Seems, nowadays, we live so robotically, trying to stay in our own lane, we don't have feeling, or care, to help someone not related. But those little bitty things, you do like that is what catches God's eye, and I do feel He's very pleased, by what He sees, being done, and getting done ✌🏽❤🙏🏻

Thank God times have changed. I feel terrible about the injustices of the black individuals. Just because a person's skin color is no reason for hate. When we leave this life all our wrongs will be answered for. That's my belief.

I'm from Florida Miami. I was always told to NEVER go near Ococee. I never asked why. Now I know. Let's Honor July Perry! makes shirts, posters. He deserves a movie, so the world knows how important he was. I wonder if the native Americans can help get the land back. I'm sure it originally belonged to them. As I'm researching this now. Thanks, for sharing!!!
