The Burning: Massacre, Destruction, and the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 by Tim Madigan

5.0

Although the contents of this book is very triggering for African Americans, It is a very powerful read. It recounts one of the worst and deadliest events in the United states. It took me a while to get through the book, because it broke my heart to read what some of our ancestors went through. I had heard bits and pieces of what happened in college, but not to the magnitude of what was brought to light in this book.. And to think, with the re edition coming up around the 100th commoration of that horrid event makes it just the more sorrowful. Phenomenal read
