What Was the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921?
Caleb Gayle, Who HQ, illustrated by Tim Foley
This book examines the destruction of Tulsa, Oklahoma's thriving Black community in 1921. Before May 31, the Greenwood District was home to 10,000 Black residents, with families, businesses, and professionals serving the neighborhood. Barbershops, clothing stores, jewelers, restaurants, movie theaters, doctors, dentists, and lawyers formed part of its life. In one weekend, that community was lost amid envy and racism.
