Black Wall Street in 1921, Klansmen destroyed the entire town This slaughter in the history books, is nowhere to be found. Thirty-five city blocks burnt to the ground, some say over 3000 dead Only time in America, citizens were fire bombed from planes overhead.
Olivia Hooker was 6 years old when she hid under a table as a torch-carrying mob destroyed her family's Tulsa home during one of the worst race riots in U.S. history.http://apne.ws/KNy8Hda

“Race riot.” That’s an interesting way to white-wash a pogrom.

It was not a race riot. It was a massacre, just as happened to First Nations people. Words matter, and this moniker needs to be changed to correct the historical record.

'Race riot' ...White supremacist mob attacks black community killing hundreds burning down their community and stealing all their stuff...Sounds more like a genocidal massacre than a Riot.....

also known as the Tulsa massacre where the wealthiest black community in the US was destroyed, where planes dropped dynamite on residents, where whites looted businesses and homes then set them on fire and no one believes the 'official' dead count
