1921 Tulsa Riot
In 1921 there was a massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was the home for a thriving black community dubbed "Black Wall Street." It had hundreds of successful black business owners. While the community thrived, racial tension mixed with envy and anger. One false accusation caused an unnecessary massacre. A 17 year old white girl who shared an elevator with a 19 year old black boy falsely accused him of assault. Within days, her claim of assault turned into cries of rape. Within 24 hours, the young black boy was arrested and the 35 square blocks of Tulsa was burned to the ground. The fight for justice continues. CNN recently reported on how the centenarians's fight for justice continues.
