The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre-- Part 1: 'Black Wall Street'

From the June 18,2020, Chicago Tribune "Black Tulsans live with fiery legacy" by Ellen Knickmeyer, AP.

A once-thriving black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was destroyed nearly a century ago.  There were black-built and black-owned house, churches and businesses which covered dozens of blocks in an area known as the "Black Wall Street."   About all that remains now are burned bricks and a fragment of a church basement.

On May 31 and June 1, white residents burned and looted Tulsa's black Greenwood district to the ground and even used lanes to drop projectiles on them.

These attackers killed up to 300 black Tulsans and forced survivors for a time to live in internment camps overseen by the state National Guard.
