But one lesser-known fact is the lake sits on top of the Black-town, Oscarville.

Oscarville was burnt down in 1912 and more than a thousand residents were forced to flee following the allegations of rape.

Rob Edwards was arrested in September 1912 along with Earnest Knox and Oscar Daniel, both teenagers, all accused of raping and murdering a young white woman named Mae Crow.

Edwards was dragged out of jail, beaten with a crowbar, and then lynched from a telephone pole.

Daniel and Knox went to trial and were found guilty on the same day. The boys were sentenced to death by hanging.

After the trials and executions, white men, known as Night Riders, forced Black families out of their homes by bringing their land, churches, and schools.

Once Black families fled, Lake Lanier was built on top of what was burned down.

2.Kowaliga (Benson), Alabama

Turns out, Alabama’s Lake Martin is built on the previous majority-Black town of Kowaliga. It is home to the first Black-owned railroad started by William E. Benson and the Black school Kowaligia Academic & Industrial Institute.

William is the son of John Benson, who was enslaved and then freed. He went on a journey to rescue his sister in Florida, who was separated during slavery, and they made their way back to Alabama. John purchased thousands of acres of land sold to Black families, where he formed a community.

William helped his dad expand the family business.

After William’s death and the closing of the school, Kowaligia was destroyed to make room for Lake Martin.

3. Seneca Village In New York City

Seneca Village began in 1825 and, at its peak, spanned from 82nd Street to 89th Street along what is now the western edge of Central Park in New York City.

By the 1840s, half of the African Americans who lived there owned their own property, a rate five times higher than the city average, as reported in Timeline.

In 1857, Seneca Village was torn down for the construction of Central Park. The only thing that remains is a commemorative plaque, dedicated in 2001 to the lost village.

4. Susannah, Alabama

Susannah, or Sousana, was also flooded by Lake Martin.

According to Alabama Living, more than 900 bodies were moved from cemeteries before the land was submerged.

The town once included a gold mine, a school, two mercantile, a grist mill, a flour mill, a sawmill, a blacksmith shop, and a church.

5. Vanport, Oregon

In the 1940s, Vanport was the center of a booming shipyard industry because of World War II and quickly became the second-largest city in the state.

But as World War II saw white males drafted to serve overseas, a labor shortage pulled in a great migration of Blacks from the south.

With soldiers being drafted overseas to fight in the war, Oregon saw a labor shortage. This resulted in a great migration of Black Americans from the south.

These new workers needed places to live, as the Albina neighborhood was the only place where Black people could live legally. It became too small for the growing population of Black Americans, and Vanport was built as a temporary housing solution.

At its peak, 40,000 residents, or 40 percent, were African-American.

But then, in 1948 massive flooding erupted in the neighborhood, and city officials didn’t warn residents of the dangerously high water levels, Many didn’t evacuate in time.

The town was wiped out within a day. 18,500 families were displaced, more than a third Black American.

Today, that area is known as Delta Park.

The Vow. Chapter Two.

Player: Oscar Mingueza Words: 1614 Warnings: brief mentions of sustaining head injury (not like the movie which this is based on, there’s no car accident)

PREVIOUS CHAPTER.

She remains in the box for longer than normal after the game. Both sets of fans are filing out, with some having already left before the final whistle had blown, and she watches as the seats become more visible as bodies leave the rows. It was never going to be a good match, especially with the title race fully on with each game switching between Real Madrid and Barcelona for the top spot. El Clasico just made everything worse in terms of rivalry and with 3 points swiped away from under Real after a teeth clenching VAR review and penalty awarded to Barcelona at the 89th minute, securing them the win, leaving away fans furious and home fans celebrating.

Drinking in the last of the atmosphere here, she pushes away from the railing and begins to make her way out, swiping a few grapes and cracker biscuits which she pops into her mouth as she begins the descent back down the stairs and through the winding maze of corridors. Smiling and giving a little nod to some of the staff that she recognises, she briefly exchanges a few lines of conversation as they pass one another, and asks another to tell Oscar that she’ll be outside waiting with Sara and not in the carpark like usual.

Oscar had played amazing. A few moments where he’d lost possession of the ball but he’d moved on autopilot, body twisting and recovering the ball before passing it on. He would have been down for an assist had the goal not been ruled offside, something which she knew that he’d be proud of. He’d worked hard to build up his minutes once more. He’d kept his head down in training, pushing himself to be the best he could and prove his worth to the team. With no errors which had led to a goal, she knew he’d be proud of his performance.

The streets are still alive, with dregs of the evening sun casting a warm, golden glow over everything that it touches through the pink tinted evening sky. Fans wearing the two clashing jerseys are taking over, filtering out of the stadium like ants. Some to the carparks, some back to the metro and others simply walk. Some of the fans are able to speak amicably, others are taunting one another as they part ways but from what she can see and hear, it’s mostly playful teasing and nothing too aggressive. It’s the main reason she waits safely away, especially with some fans now knowing her face since Oscar made it into the first team.

Checking her phone, she sees that Sara is on her way but won’t be here for another five or so minutes, prompting her to stuff her phone back into her jacket and lean against the nearest stable surface. She listens to some of the arguments over the match results, some of which can be valid criticism, but some is just bitterness and point scoring from both sides. Something she’d learned early on was that there was no such thing as a neutral football fan, everyone had their own opinions and everyone was right.

She also learnt not to check social media after a game, realising that fans were not forgiving and found it far easier to write their abuse and hateful thoughts in the moment, not realising the long lasting effects it would have on those around the player. Oscar refused to check social media after most games, except for a few fan accounts who he trusted could be a safe place and even though today would be a good day, it was still better not to look at all.

Her gaze snaps to a few fans who are a little louder, their voices and body language are equally boisterous, drawing attention from many who stop what they’re doing to watch. She’s got a perfect view of those who are streaming to and from the station and smiles as she sees Sara’s bright yellow jacket. She knows when her friend has spotted her because Sara begins dancing, making her want to shake her shoulders in response and shimmy over to her.

With the two fans gaining more attention and their heated debate quickly becoming an argument, other’s step in to try and diffuse the situation with some trying to get in between, yelling at the two of them to calm down and stop this madness. Her eyes are focused on her friend as she side steps several of the people joining the group, but with her focus momentarily off the chaos, she doesn’t notice the way it escalates faster than anyone can anticipate. Several punches are thrown, causing some of the men to tumble into one another like dominoes.

By the time she realises that her friend is no longer dancing and is pointing to warn her, two of the men have stumbled into her with such force it knocks the breath from her as she loses her footing. Her arms stretch out to try and help but it’s pointless, her body slumps to the floor causing a blinding pain to shoot through her head as her vision blurs and the image of Sara rushing towards her is short lived.

Oscar’s arm wraps around Riqui’s shoulders as he continues to speak with Frenkie and Araújo, a large grin spreading out over the defender’s face as he becomes excited as he jokes. The team are elated, their voices bouncing through the tunnel and hallways, no doubt travelling back towards the frustrated away team but for a moment, Oscar doesn’t care. Once more at the top of the table, this couldn’t have gone any better.

“Oscar?” Eliana calls out to him, as she comes out of one of the rooms with her arms full. He towers above her, much like he does his girlfriend, and gives a soft smile as he says hello. “Your girlfriend said she’ll be meeting Sara, so won’t be in the carpark like usual.”

He holds back a chuckle, thinking so much for the continuation that was promised this morning but he could be persuasive if need be. It was by no means a title winning night but this was a huge feat and not something which should be ignored. Oscar would always try to take each match as it came, he was able to be more positive that way if he did, but he did want to celebrate a little because this was a big win.

He’s able to call out a “thank you” as he’s pulled into the locker room where the good mood continues. He watches as they dance around, music is playing from someone’s speaker and the temptation to get up and dance with them is overwhelming. Xavi stands and watches them celebrating, full grown men dancing around like children with pure happiness. It hung in the air, grasping everyone with a contagious hook in a tight grip.

The moment Oscar gets to his cubby, he checks his phone, eagerly anticipating a text message from her but there’s nothing there from her but a few texts from his family and standard app notifications. Swallowing back the disappointment as he replies to the others, he then drops his phone back onto his clothes and turns back to look at the room as he pulls his jersey from the back of his neck up and over and drops it by his feet as he begins to unlace his boots. He tries to take in as much as he can as Xavi talks about the match and the upcoming one. He’s half registering the words, half wanting to just go and shower and get out of here but he keeps himself rooted with what he hopes is an expression which is convincing enough to say he’s still paying attention.

The second he can, he’s up and stripping, desperate to feel the heat from the water and get the dirt and sweat from his body. He chuckles when Riqui appears in the stall beside him, sensing that something isn’t quite right and does his best to try and distract him, which thankfully for Oscar, works. Heading back from the shower, Oscar loses himself in conversation with Riqui about how he’d be spending the evening, the disappointment now at the furthest point in the back of his head - though it still lingers. His hand remains where the towel locks together, ensuring it doesn’t spring open while he’s walking, but tightens around the material when he sees the look upon Xavi’s face when he glances over. In deep conversation with another member of staff, he now glances over at the young defender before turning his back on him.

“That’s…weird.” Riqui whispers, looking up at Oscar as they make their way back to their places. A few of the other men nervously glance at the two of them and any uneasy feeling he had previously now rears its ugly head again. Unsure if his anxiety is simply getting the better of him, he keeps quiet and tries to dry himself off as much as he can before pulling on his clean clothes.

“He’s still looking,” Oscar hears him whisper but he keeps his back to his coach, not wanting to tempt fate and confirm that whatever they’re discussing is about him. Instinctively though, he reaches for his phone, still no message from her, not a location of where she and Sara are but there’s one message which makes his stomach begin to work, threatening to reverse and bring everything back up. He’s still trying to process the words when he hears his coach’s voice say

“Mingueza, I need to speak with you.”
