      1. The Tulsa massacre has definitely been undersold in standard US history teaching. In fact, we tend to spend too little attention on the domestic side of the whole tumultuous period from 1917-25, in favor of focus on WWI, the League of Nations & the 14 Points.

      2. That's partly a relic of the WW2/Cold War focus on internationalism. Most grammar/high school histories of that period have previously given the 1918 influenza pandemic extremely cursory attention. I suspect that will not be true in coming decades.

      3. There is just a ton going on in that period - Palmer Raids & Wilson's repression & internment, the new Klan, Prohibition, women's suffrage, Harding restoring the economy, the first Red Scare, etc. Tulsa is one of a series of tentpole events of that 5-7 year stretch.

          In Oct 1921 - just months after Tulsa, Warren G. Harding traveled South - Deep South - and did this: https://narratively.com/this-presidential-speech-on-race-shocked-the-nation-in-1921/ … My man Warren G. is due a reassessment next Feb, when those idiotic "best" and "worst" Presidents lists are compiled for so-called "Presidents Day".

          I grew up in Indiana where the Klan was very strong--at least from after WWI until 1924. I learned very little about it thru HS. It was only later that I learned of its brief pervasive influence, including making life difficult for Catholics in the state.

          It's part of a larger problem where the expertise of history teachers focus primarily on the 18th and 19th Centuries and the 20th Century gets short shrift. My HS class spent all of one day to cover 1945-present because we spent so much time on the 1850's and the Civil War.

          1919 was like 1968 in preview, as far as turmoil goes: Boston police and steel strikes (+ many others nationwide), the Chicago race riot, Red Scare, Red Summer, anarchist bombings... more than just the Treaty of Versailles, which Wilson failed to get through the Senate anyway.

          Most confederate monuments were built in the 20s. This is a very interesting period of our history which does not get nearly enough attention.

          Can you point to a similar bout of American on American violence with a death toll of that number? Or one that used airplanes to attack? Perhaps the Slocum Massacre?
