BTW when I grew up in Springfield Missouri I guess they also had several violent purges of Blacks in that city and to this day the percentage of Blacks living there has remained below the national average. From what I was told growing up is a lot of the remaining displaced Black population just picked up their belongings and moved up north to Kansas City and St. Louis. Violence is the true underbelly of American history and sadly no one group is immune to that.

And why does every person know about Hitlers killing? There have been multiple episodes of genocide most people have never heard of. Everyone has heard of Hitler killing the Jews. Who is in charge of the media? There is competition for what group was hurt the most. Whether it’s Cambodians murdered by the pol pot or Armenians killed by the Turks or what about Stalin killing his own people. It seems all people from all parts of the world are not only capable but have at some point done some pretty nasty killing. Asians, Europeans, Africans etc.

The most humbling thought I have while watching this is that this was just one of many that happened across the country. A shameful past that we must teach if we are ever to heal.

Not just the Tulsa massacre, but the thousands of lynchings. So many witnesses and participants but very few brave people who are willing to name the perpetuators. Now is the time to name names. If you know of someone who did this please out them. It is never too late for justice.

I was 20 years old when I moved to Tulsa, OK in 1988. My habit, then and now, was to join a library in any new city I moved to, so I joined their downtown library. I was searching for books by Cheikh Anta Diop when I saw a book displayed in the "Librarian Recommended" section on the massacre of Black Wallstreet. That book changed my life.

Attended college and live in Tulsa for 5 years. Didn’t hear about this event until at least a few years after I moved there. And even then, when I asked people who grew up there about it-they either didn’t know or didn’t want to talk about it.

Nearing high school as a white teen in the 70s, something started to nag at me. It was impossible to "just accept it" any more. History classes were overwhelmingly devoted to notable whites, white heritage, white this, white that. Hundreds of years, millions upon millions of black humans and barely anything on them what the f*?? Bizarre and suspicious was an understatement. I was not a stupid kid, and the usual explanations did not add up. I scoured the libraries for anything but came up mysteriously empty-handed. This bothered and confused me to no end.

The racial terror had to have been EXTREME for the Black survivors, Black teachers, and Black relatives to have not constantly called attention to this atrocity all this time. So much so that there were people who grew up in that town and did not even know about it. These folks were literally flanked on every side by those who had killed them and destroyed their property with no remorse. They probably felt like they were surrounded by a bunch of little devils. How they survived this and the aftermath, I don't know.

I'm quite shocked to hear how this was so unknown by so many people... (much like the towns that "disappeared"/"vanished" under water) especially people from my generation. Current generation -- it seems everything is getting suppressed. What my children learn at school is proof. I teach my children anything & everything I know with facts ..... encyclopedias are readily available these days. Ijs... I was "fortunate" to have learned about this during my early teens (early 90's). Granted I opted to learn more about it on my own... but had I not been taught about this event, I would've never known --- until now. Why hide?? Bring it on the "center stage". In order for people to move forward -- history must be known. Problems will remain unless they're properly addressed. Secrets will always be made aware... it might take some time -- but it can't remain a secret forever. It's better to face the truth & make the necessary changes within the society.

Omg, I can't believe that I'm just now learning about this horrible event.

I am so appalled by what is being learned. I am a whitewoman who is 74 years of age and cannot believe this has happened in the United States of America. I want to apologize to all the black or African American people of the United States of. I just never would have believed this of my country and it breaks my heart. I cried all the way through the 60-minute program and as I'm watching it I am still. God forgive us all. This has happened since the beginning of time but that doesn't make it any less said that is still continuing to be done.

After studying and living here in Oklahoma for years and especially near Greenwood; I realize the resources for such great damage did not come from private individuals and this truth hit me really hard a few years' back. Individuals do not have access to airports with airplanes that dropped what was dropped and devastated not just the neighborhood; but the business districts including over one hundred (100) businesses, inclusive of law offices, real-estate offices, a post office, a hotel, etc. This is why. Jealousy is terrible. There were also many other jurisdictions around America around the same time (1921) that had the same demographics that were growing economically that this "happened to" so the backdrop to the reasoning of the destruction could not be random.

my new expression for most things happening today is "unbelievable" because i am at a loss for words and overwhelmed with grief

It really bothers me that I had never heard of Juneteenth nor the Greenwood/Tulsa Race Massacre until this year. Literally, never even heard of them once until a couple days ago when I heard Trevor Noah say "Juneteenth" during his show. I had to look it up to even understand what he was saying.

Tulsa Okla lies upon lands that were given to the Mvskoke (Muskogee) and Cherokee native tribes under treaty after they had been removed from their indigenous homelands in the Southeastern US. these new lands included much of what is now eastern Oklahoma. These lands were given to the Native peoples of the Creek (Mvskoke) and Cherokee tribes for time and all eternity in the early 1830s, by all rights there should have been no white nor black people here to be fighting with each other. Yes a few black folks were killed and yes a few whites folks were killed in the riot. Yet no black or white folks would have been harmed in any way in Tulsa in 1921 if they had not murdered and burnt out the thousands of Natives that were rightfully here to begin with. When oil was found under the land that had been given to the Creeks and Cherokee the treaties though still binding were discarded and Oil men of both white and black races flooded into what is now Tulsa. Burning out and killing any Indians that would not move aside and bow to the stream of 'progress.' Before you shed tears or beat your chest for less than a few hundred black folks, think about the thousands of indians that were killed in the 50 some odd years prior to the 1921 riot as well as the thousands that were killed before and during the 1830s removal to Oklahoma. If those black folks hadn't violated the treaties right along with the white folks, they wouldn't have been here to be involved in any race riot in 1921.

I did not hear of this until college, and now we can no longer teach this in many schools as it might make someone like me, a white male, uncomfortable. Every single American should be required to know this full story before they are allowed to graduate high school. We are indeed a failed nation.

Wow this is heart wrenching!!!

Thank you.

Holy crap this was awful 😢 I've never heard about this! I do not and will never understand such atrocities some people commit against their fellow men and women.

I read about this in the New York Times today ? Shocking to think that a Pogrom like this happened ! I hope compensation to families of the survivors can be made.

Honored to be interviewed for this and to be able to share such an important fact of American history. #Reparationsnow

Your lies

I bet not one of them were arrested either

I heard about this in my history classes growing up. The post WWI era was a turbulent time in the US. There were race and labor rights in many locations. Many of the people saying they didn't hear about this in school probably just don't remember it being covered in their classes. Kids have a tendency to not pay attention in class. Or, maybe I had very good history teachers in high school. The riots of the time are kinda what the era is known for.

This just absolutely makes me SICK,what is happening to this world,why so many lies,jealousy,killing,it just doesn't make any since.

For anyone looking for more on this, VOX has made a great video about it. Totally worth watching!

A whole black town burned down with 1000's homeless, over 300 killed because of a lie that was told in a newspaper and not 1 single person was arrested or charged and it's been almost 100 years and still no reparations. smh Not only that, nobody from the generations after knew a single thing about this because they didn't teach this in any public school, so people are just finding out about this, even people from Tulsa didn't know about this. This is just as bad as what happened to Emmitt Till(who was only 16 yrs. old) in 1955 when he was brutally beaten to death and his face was disfigured while thrown in into the tallahatchie river all because he whistled at a white women(and btw, she has recanted the lies she told since than when she said Emmitt physically and verbally assaulted her and she's still alive right now and still hasn't been been charged for what she did)and the 2 whiteboy's who did it admitted to what they did in a magazine, got paid for it and never faced any criminal charges.

Tulsa owes a HUGE apology for all African Americans still living in the town.

Wow!

Damn.

I went to Jenks HS in S Tulsa in the early ‘80s. I remember 1 black kid in my class of 500. I was generally aware of the riot, but details were vague. I’m not sure where I learned about it, but it was not in school. As interesting as my Oklahoma History class COULD have been, the most important hurdle in the class was to learn the names of all the counties. They could have connected dots, so closely spaced in time between Indian territories, the land runs, the dust bowl and the oil boom. In a mere fraction of a lifetime, all that happened. They could have covered WHY or in what MANNER Indians were relocated, not just that they were and where they were put. But no. The biggest take-away was names of counties. My understanding is the race riot is now covered in US and OK history class as it should be. I can’t change the past. But it annoys me to no end that they wasted my time filling my head with banal crap when something important happened literally 10 miles away and didn’t bother mentioning it. My sense is this wasn’t a choice by one school, but it was a systemic omission. At some level, “they” chose to make that class both worthless and dull. Going forward my fear is that the grip of willful ignorance is lessening on public education and creating the want of charter schools where it is OK to cherry pick things like history. That is wrong. Call it woke if you want. Things happened. Kids need to know this stuff. Yes, occasionally, it should FEEL bad. Ignorance can be forgiven because it can be remedied. Willful or systemic Ignorance can not.

Tulsa Okla lies upon lands that were given to the Mvskoke (Muskogee) and Cherokee native tribes under treaty after they had been removed from their indigenous homelands in the Southeastern US. these new lands included much of what is now eastern Oklahoma. These lands were given to the Native peoples of the Creek (Mvskoke) and Cherokee tribes for time and all eternity in the early 1830s, by all rights there should have been no white nor black people here to be fighting with each other. Yes a few black folks were killed and yes a few whites folks were killed in the riot. Yet no black or white folks would have been harmed in any way in Tulsa in 1921 if they had not murdered and burnt out the thousands of Natives that were rightfully here to begin with. When oil was found under the land that had been given to the Creeks and Cherokee the treaties though still binding were discarded and Oil men of both white and black races flooded into what is now Tulsa. Burning out and killing any Indians that would not move aside and bow to the stream of 'progress.' Before you shed tears or beat your chest for less than a few hundred black folks, think about the thousands of indians that were killed in the 50 some odd years prior to the 1921 riot as well as the thousands that were killed before and during the 1830s removal to Oklahoma. If those black folks hadn't violated the treaties right along with the white folks, they wouldn't have been here to be involved in any race riot in 1921.

My Cherokee wife reminds me of things like this all the time. My view is in another 100 years when China takes over the world and our progeny are driven somewhere that we do not want to be, how will they feel about that? What about the Comanche or Wichita that were in OK before the trail of tears? What group of people were there before that history? The millions of migrants that came here came in many cases was to escape something somewhere else. They were also pushed here. To some extent we are all just visiting. We are borne and die in a narrow window of time and we really never own anything. Culture endures. I’ve been to a few pow-wows in and around Tahlequah. I remember the first one vividly. I was disturbed when they lowered the American flag to start the ceremony and raised the Cherokee flag. For a moment, I thought I was going to be upset. But what they did, with much ceremony, grace and respect, was fold the flag and offer it to a war widow: A United States of America war widow. The concept of a nation within a nation started to make sense to me. This is a small consolation, to be a nation within a nation, I know. But it is culture that is relevant, enduring and very present. You don’t have to read a book to understand because you can still physically touch this culture, the same culture from across time. I guess what I am trying to say is the history of the Indians is not lost on me. The fact that I had no clue about a riot consisting of a multitude of crimes but a few miles from where I lived within actual living memory annoys me to no end. It was a crime nearly, perhaps purposefully, obliterated from history by contemporary educators. Not a white wash from generations ago, but an erasure of a crime within someone’s memory by educators that are probably still alive. Indeed, I did learn about Indians and endeavor to continue. Millions were killed, if not by bullets by disease. What they did not teach was basic facts about the Tulsa race riot. Not a word. If nothing else, there was a lesson. @@lylelookingbill6606
