A review by chaoticmissadventures
Built from the Fire by Victor Luckerson

4.25

 This is an in depth look at the Tulsa massacre. It gives the events leading up to and during the event, and then goes on to follow some of the families affected and also the American laws that hindered the rebuilding and affected the integration, mobility and rising up of not only the Black families who were victims of the massacre but also throughout the US.
The writing is good, there is a focus and emphasis on one journalistic family which feels right for this narrative. It is frustrating and inspiring to see how the people overcome the obsticles placed infront of them by the white people of Oklahoma, and by the US government. 
Very well done, and well written, if a bit long.
