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

5.0

I can’t believe I was never taught about the Tulsa race massacre while I was in school. Not only that, I never even heard of it until I moved to Tulsa. This detailed history of the massacre is essentially reading for any Oklahoman and student of Black history. As the author recounts, “If the atrocities committed on Black Wallstreet had taken place overseas, the post WWI U.S. military would unquestioningly responded with immediate decisive action.”
