Why
was it necessary for the most prolific and wealthiest Black
community in the history of the United States during
the 1900’s be destroyed?
These
documentaries detail the June 1st, 1921 bombing, and
the long covered-up story, of the racially segregated
Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa,
Oklahoma - a sophisticated, independent all Black
town. A vibrant Black community covering
over 35 square blocks--was destroyed.
Blacks
had over 500 thriving business including a bus line, schools,
hospitals, libraries, parks, churches, and real estate
companies.
The
aftermath resulted in thousands of Blacks dead, and
thousands more homeless.
Through
interviews with survivors and State commission
members who investigated the riot, the story of one of
America's worst crimes against Blacks is now told.
The
Tulsa race riot, also known as the 1921 Race Riot, The Night
that Tulsa Died, The Tulsa Race War, orTthe
Greenwood Riot, was a massacre during a large-scale civil
disorder confined mainly to the racially segregated Greenwood
neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA on May 31, 1921.
During
the 16 hours of rioting, over 800 people were admitted to local
hospitals with injuries, an estimated 10,000 were left homeless, 35
city blocks composed of 1,256 residences were destroyed by fire, and
$1.8 million (nearly $21 million in 2007 dollars) in property damage.
Officially,
thirty-nine people were reported killed in the riot, of whom ten were
white. The actual number of black citizens killed by white local
militiamen and others as a result of the riot was estimated in the
Red Cross report at around 300; making the Tulsa race riot the worst
in US history.
Other
estimates range as high as 3,000, based on the number of grave
diggers and other circumstances, although the archaeological and
forensic work needed to confirm the number of dead has not been
performed.
