The Dennos is proud to host a free screening of the documentary “Banished: American Ethnic Cleansing” on March 18, 2012 at 2:00pm in conjunction with the exhibition We Don’t Want Them.
A hundred years ago, in communities across the U.S., white residents forced thousands of black families to flee their homes. Even a century later, these towns remain almost entirely white. Banished tells the story of three of these communities and their black descendants, who return to learn their shocking histories.
