It is one of the worst acts of racial violence in the history of the United States. But even those from Oklahoma, and Tulsa, itself, often know little about the events surrounding the Tulsa Race Masscare that began on May 31st, 1921.
Over the course of two days, Tulsa’s thriving Greenwood District, also called Black Wall Street, was decimated by a White mob.
African American property was destroyed, hundreds are estimated to have lost their lives, and thousands were displaced.
Despite the devastation, the events were wiped from the history books. But there’s a growing movement to change that, not only through a museum and education, but also reparations.
