| | Synopsis
|
"In the early morning of June 1, 1921, a white mob marched across
the train tracks in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and into its predominantly Black
Greenwood District—a thriving, affluent neighborhood known as
America's Black Wall Street. They brought with them firearms,
gasoline, and explosives. In a few short hours, they'd razed
thirty-five square blocks to the ground, leaving hundreds dead. The
Tulsa Race Massacre is one of the most devastating acts of racial
violence in US history. But how did it come to pass? What exactly
happened? And why are the events unknown to so many of us today?
These are the questions that . . . author Brandy Colbert seeks to
answer in this . . . nonfiction account of the Tulsa Race
Massacre"—Provided by publisher.
