Tulsa Race Massacre by Bailey Sarian

This is an interesting report of something that happened in 1921.



If you think about the context, as she tells the story, you can find parallels, and perhaps learn stuff from it. The timeline is particularly interesting.

I don't want to upset anyone, or fan flames. But, it IS topical and of interest.

like dozens upon dozens of bombings, banishments and decimations of all black towns between about 1880 and 1930.

I always think it is fascinating that the 1st time any aerial bomb was dropped on US citizens from an airplane in the US was in Tulsa. They literally put homemade bombs on airplanes flew them over the black neighborhoods and dropped them.
