The Map

Your town, your county.

Search a place and see what happened there — sites of massacres, documented lynchings, destroyed and flooded Black towns, hate-group strongholds — and the excellence alongside: Black Wall Streets, HBCUs, historic churches, and cultural landmarks.

3680 sites mapped. Many points are county-level approximations drawn from historical records and are still being verified — each links to its source.

Content note: this map documents racial violence, including lynchings and massacres. Some entries and their linked sources are distressing.
