    I think there was a quick mention of “Tulsa race riots” when I was in elementary schools in Okla city. Calling it a “riot” gave me an impression of black people revolting and wreaking havoc. Only in the last couple of years have I started to hear about what actually happened.

    Similarly, how many people were taught about the "Battle at Wounded Knee" as kids instead of the "Massacre at Wounded Knee"? It was a horrific massacre. The lies have got to stop.
