What Happened in Slocum in 1910

In 1910, the community of Slocum, Texas experienced a wave of violence that pushed Black families out of the area and erased a thriving settlement from the map. Records were limited, survivors stayed silent out of fear, and the story faded for generations. Only recently have researchers and descendants begun bringing the truth back into the light. History like this should never be forgotten. #HistoryMatters #UntoldStories #HiddenHistory #AmericanHistory #CommunityHistory #TexasHistory #HistoricalTruth #Remembering #PastAndPresent #LearningOurHistory
