Legacy Lost Revisited: Overtown & Savannah's Black Wall Streets

Join us for a powerful livestream discussion as we revisit two of our most important documentaries: Overtown: Miami’s Lost Black Wall Street and Savannah’s Forgotten West Broad Street. These stories highlight the vibrant Black communities that once thrived before being dismantled by redlining, highway construction, and urban renewal.

In this live session, we’ll:

Break down the key takeaways from each documentary

Explore the similarities between Overtown and Savannah’s economic and cultural ecosystems

Discuss how discriminatory policies and infrastructure projects led to their decline

Connect their legacy to modern-day housing, lending, and justice issues

Take your questions and comments live

Your voice matters. Whether you’ve seen the full documentaries or are new to these stories, this is your chance to engage, reflect, and learn with us in real time.
