This episode, Ouida takes you under the surface—literally. America didn’t just erase

Black communities from the map; it buried them underwater. From Lake Lanier in

Georgia to towns drowned by dam projects and “progress,” Ouida digs up the

The truth about how Black prosperity was wiped out—on purpose.

This isn’t a history lesson with a happy ending. It’s a reckoning.

Ouida names the names, follows the money, and calls out the politicians and corporations that flooded.

Black futures for profit, power, and the comfort of white America. Why is this history still hidden?

Who’s keeping it quiet? And what would those towns look like today if they hadn’t been washed away?

No filter. No sugarcoating. Just the facts, the stories, and the urgency to finally face this truth head-on.

This is My Point of View. Listen, get angry, and demand the real history.
