3. Greenwood (Black Wall Strreet, bombed and destroyed in 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, is within a mile ..

1 mile of BOK Center where Trump's rally is)

I've read that after their homes and businesses were destroyed, many blacks were held in a (concentration??) camp where the Fairgrounds are now. That's about 4 miles from downtown (and within walking distance of where I grew up. When we were kids, our family would walk to the Tulsa State Fair every year. And to The International Oil Exposition every 3 years)

ETA---there used to to a major fireworks display at the Fairground stadium every 4th of July. We could see the bursts of color in the sky from our porch. Our poor dog hated it and wanted to escape the noise!
