This is what happened in Tulsa in 1921.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/20/us/tulsa-greenwood-massacre.html …
After a black man was falsely accused of assaulting a white woman, a white mob went through the streets of downtown Tulsa shooting black people on sight, then rushed into Greenwood — a thriving black community at the time — and burned it to the ground.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/20/us/tulsa-greenwood-massacre.html …
Then Tulsa officials destroyed records and didn't talk about it for 50 years. Victims were buried in unmarked graves. An inflammatory article and editorial that helped trigger the massacre were cut out of the local paper before it was put on microfilm.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/20/us/tulsa-greenwood-massacre.html …
The silence was nearly absolute. State Sen. Kevin Matthews's grandmother survived the massacre, yet he told @AsteadWesley he didn't learn about it until he was in his 20s.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/20/us/tulsa-greenwood-massacre.html …
When the reporter Don Ross and the researcher Ed Wheeler started interviewing survivors in the late 60s/early 70s, Wheeler found a message on his windshield: “Best look under your hood from now on.”https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/20/us/tulsa-greenwood-massacre.html …
In the 1990s, a commission was finally formed to investigate the massacre. It released its report in 2001. You can read that here. https://www.okhistory.org/research/forms/freport.pdf …
As the 100th anniversary approaches, the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission is working to commemorate it.https://www.tulsa2021.org/
And @AsteadWesley wrote yesterday about how Tulsa has grappled with its history, and how black Tulsans are responding to Trump's visit.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/19/us/politics/juneteenth-tulsa-trump-rally.html …
I was a History major in college. I never once heard about the 1921 Tulsa Massacre. The first time I became aware of it was watching the HBO series "Watchmen". You wonder how many other shameful episodes of our country's history have been buried.
I only learned about it fairly recently myself. But there is a wealth of content on YouTube, including a very in-depth documentary from 2000, I believe, which was narrated by celebrities from the time and interspersed with eyewitness accounts.
Unfortunately not an isolated incident. There’s unfortunately a lot of history that we never learned in school.https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/2020/06/remembering-red-summer-white-mobs-massacred-blacks-tulsa-dc/ …
