The Burning: The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 by Tim Madigan

challenging dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

I and to take breaks from reading but also to tell my husband how much harder the story was than I even knew. And still shocked most America didn't even hear about the massacre for nearly 100 years after it happened. Soon after it happened one elderly Black woman said to a white female journalist, "How could it NOT have happened?!" meaning racism was always bound to harm the community of Greenwood. But it leaves me asking how could it NOT have happened as how do we prevent it from ever happening again??
