The Burning: Massacre, Destruction, and the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 by Tim Madigan
5.0
This book was extremely eye-opening. I knew that this massacre happened in Tulsa because my father had mentioned it to me. However, I never fully understood what happened until I read this book.
As a black woman, the feeling of reading this book was extremely eerie at times. Sometimes it was hard to read just because it seems so unreal, but the fact that this really happened and many people hid it for a long time is mind blowing.
Hate, discrimination, and racism takes on many forms. In the case of Tulsa, it took to the form of mass destruction and murder until the white people were satisfied by what they had done.
I strongly recommend this book if you want to learn more about terrible things that had been covered up in American history.
