She also discusses some of the events happening this week in commemoration of the massacre.

The half-hour documentary narrated by Georgia State University professor and historian Dr. Maurice Hobson explores the untold story behind the massacre, what led to the eruption of violence, and how it strengthened resilience within the Black community. We revisit Rose's conversation with Hobson. He discusses the documentary and how the massacre marked a pivotal moment in America’s history.
