Ocoee: Legacy of the Election Day Massacre Country of Origin: USA Language: English Running Time: 26:40 minutes Director: Sandra Krasa, Bianca White Producer(s): Sandra Krasa, Bianca White
In the early 20th Century, Ocoee was home to one of Florida's most prosperous African American communities. On Election Day 1920, Moses Norman and July Perry attempted to vote and the African American community was erased from Ocoee's history...until now. Through the voices of the grandson of the man that led the lynch mob, and the great-grandson of the man who was lynched, the events are exposed and the past is confronted in an effort of reconciliation and healing.   Sandra Krasa Phone: 832.788.4518 Email: smkrasa@sbcglobal.net Website: www.ocoeedoc.com
