How a Black Community was Flooded with water #history #blackhistory

Oscarville was once a thriving Black town in Georgia—full of life, community, schools, and churches. But in 1912, everything changed. Violence, false accusations, and racial terror forced over 1,000 Black residents to flee. Their homes, dreams, and history were buried… and decades later, the entire town of Oscarville was flooded to create what we now know as Lake Lanier.

This video uncovers the forgotten story of Oscarville, the flooded Black town that now lies beneath the water. Many say Lake Lanier is cursed—boats sink, people drown without warning, and whispers of the past still haunt its depths.

Why was Oscarville flooded? Why aren’t we taught this in schools? How many more Black towns were erased by water and silence?
