Black Birds in the Sky: The Story and Legacy of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre by Brandy Colbert

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Black Birds has honored the legacy of all victims and told their story. I definitely was not taught about this I'm school and that was in the 1990s.  I appreciate the dedication to telling Oklahoma's history in general, to include Native Americans. Very eye opening and sad. After all, they were the first slaves in the Americas.  This book hit on so many important topics relevant today, including how black people do build wealth and how that is threatening to white America and they will find any excuse to tear that down.
