Subject: Human Zoos: America's Forgotten History of Scientific Racism |
URL: https://youtu.be/nY6Zrol5QEk |

Human Zoos tells the shocking story of how thousands
of indigenous peoples were put on public display in
America in the early decades of the twentieth
century.
"A racially charged story that will mesmerize
you...." —Oregon Documentary Film Festival.
👉 For more about the movie, additional information
and clips be sure to visit the film's website at
https://humanzoos.org/.
Often touted as "missing links" between man and apes,
these native peoples were harassed and demeaned.
Their public display was arranged with the
enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the
scientific community, and it was promoted
uncritically by American's leading newspapers. This
award-winning documentary explores the heartbreaking
story of what happened, shows how African-American
ministers and other people of faith tried to push
back, and reveals how some people today are still
drawing on Social Darwinism in order to dehumanize
others. The film also explores the tragic story of
eugenics in America, the effort to breed human beings
based on Darwinian principles.
Human Zoos was an official selection of the African
World Documentary Film Festival and has won awards
for Best Editing (Oregon Documentary Film Festival),
Best in Show (Cinema WorldFest Awards) and Awards of
Excellence from the Impact Docs Awards and the
Hollywood Independent Documentary Awards.

Yes, the video comes out timely. 2019. Not just for
racism but for scientific racism.

Thank you for this, Pamela... The savagery continues unabated by
those who imagine this superiority perversion as their scientific
birthright...along with those seeing it as their *spiritual* birthright, a la
Manifest Destiny, and often a dark cocktail of the two... It just had to
go underground for a bit until a racist leader emerged who they
fantasize lends credibility to it... Now it’s only a little less flagrant than
the impunity displayed in this story, with racists gleefully coming out
of the closet...
Light of Day is a wonderful thing, though, and this mindset’s days are
numbered, and very few indeed... ;->
