Publisher's summary

If you want to discover the history behind Tulsa, the worst race massacre, then you better keep reading.

On the morning of June 1, 1921, a White mob numbering in the thousands marched across the railroad tracks dividing Black from White in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and obliterated a Black community then celebrated as one of America's most prosperous. Thirty-four square blocks of Tulsa's Greenwood community, known then as the Black Wall Street of America, were reduced to smoldering rubble.

And now, 80 years later, the death toll of what is known as the Tulsa Race Riot is more difficult to pinpoint. Conservative estimates put the number of dead at about 100 (75 percent of the victims are believed to have been Black), but the actual number of casualties could be triple that.

In this book, you will discover how racism and envy destroyed a prospering Black community, and how it was covered up.

The Tulsa Massacre: A Mirror of Sorts

As a scholar of race, the Black experience, and the history of Texas, I found this amazing work to be authentic, riveting, and painful. I recommend this book to all United Stafes citizens, for it stands as a mirror and warning that racial healing is a must if the nation plans to remain a leading defender of democracy on the world stage. we must recognize the nation's true history and embrace the poignant need to understand the pain and joy in the USA, ironically a land of endless possibilities for some and a horrendous, generational terror for others. My acknowledgement of these facts does not mean a hatred for my country but rather a determination to see this beautiful place emerge as a beacon of greatness for all of its citizens, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class. gender, religion, sexual orientation, and citizenship status.

Hate and Fire

Racism jealousy greed are rooted in our history
.1% of the characteristic that makes humans different caused Americans to hate
A whole town was destroyed and many people perished
That is the Color of our skin was the reason

An important piece of history to learn about!

This piece of history was purposely kept out of the history books for years as part of a cover up. Learning about what went on before during and after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 is important to raise awareness of the gross injustice that the black race has endured and that the United States as a nation is still overcoming. This is an important piece of history that everyone should know about and this book does a good job of telling the story and tying it in to more recent events as recent as last year in 2020, with the unjust death of George Floyd.

I heard about the Tulsa Race Massacre on PBS

Easy listening to learn more about an important part of American history that has been pretty much glossed over.
