After the Civil War, so many newly freed African Americans registered to vote that Georgia elected 3 Black state senators and 30 Black state representatives. They were known as The Original 33. Southern white supremacists were so afraid when Black people exercised their right to vote that they started a race war. Representative Henry McNeal Turner aka DJ Freedman hosts this week's show live from the 1868 cookout that led to the Camilla Massacre.
