This Day in History: The Tulsa Race Massacre
Chris Wills
The Tulsa Race Massacre occurred from May 31 to June 1, 1921, in the prosperous Black community of Greenwood, Tulsa, Oklahoma, also known as “Black Wall Street.” Sparked by a false accusation against a Black man, a white mob attacked, looted, and burned the area, killing up to 300 residents and leaving thousands homeless.
The massacre caused massive property destruction and long-lasting trauma. It was largely ignored for decades, but recent efforts aim to recognize and remember the tragedy and its impact.
