The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, Blood On Black Wall Street and It's Legacy.

The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, Blood On Black Wall Street and It's Legacy. By 1921, Tulsa’s Black population had grown to almost 11,000, and the Greenwood community was booming. It was a time of prosperity for the residents. The neighborhood boasted 15 grocery stores, two Black movie houses, two Black newspapers, four drugstores, two Black public schools, a Black public library, four barbecue and chili parlors, and about 13 churches. But it was also a dangerous time to be Black in America. Between 1917 and 1921, racial violence was rampant. In cities across the country, Blacks were being beaten, burned and lynched in alarming numbers. No one, Black or white, was prepared for what happened on the night of May 31, 1921. #TulsaRaceMassacre1921 Exactly 100 years ago Tulsa, Oklahoma, saw one of the biggest race massacres in American history. But for years very few people were talking about it. Greenwood, known as Black Wall Street, was one of the most prosperous predominantly black areas in all of America. Racial violence broke out on 31 May, and by the morning of 1 June 1921 an estimated 300 black people had been killed - with the Greenwood district devastated beyond recognition. Also for the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Trymaine Lee travels to the neighborhood once known as Black Wall Street, where residents say the effects of the devastating violence endured for generations, and Black Tulsans are left asking, "What does justice look like after 100 years?" #BlackWallStreet #1921TulsaRaceMassacre At #FollowtheDominoes#.
