Black Wall Street: Despite discrimination and racial tensions during the Jim Crow era, the prosperous Black Wall Street community in Tulsa, Oklahoma thrived with over 10,000 residents, 600 businesses, and 15 black millionaires.
During the Jim Crow era in the United States, there existed a prosperous black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, known as Black Wall Street. This community, which was formed due to segregation laws, boasted over 10,000 black residents, 600 businesses, and even 15 black millionaires. Despite facing discrimination and living in a time marked by racial tensions and violence, such as the 1919 race riots and over 4,000 lynchings, the people of Greenwood took pride in their community and thrived. They built their own businesses, schools, and institutions, and even attracted prominent figures like Dr. A.C. Jackson, a top African American surgeon endorsed by the Mayo brothers. The community's prosperity, however, led to envy and resentment from the white population, ultimately culminating in the devastating Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. This story serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of marginalized communities to build and protect their own spaces, even in the face of adversity.

Overall, this conversation highlighted the power of technology and storytelling to bring us closer to understanding the world around us.
Media and Race Riots: Sensationalized media reports and racial tensions can lead to violent race riots. Reliable reporting is crucial to prevent misunderstandings and promote peace.
The events leading up to the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 were fueled by sensationalized media reports and racial tensions. An incident in an elevator between Sarah Page and Diamond Dick Rowland was blown out of proportion by the local newspaper, leading to a call for Rowland's lynching. The white sheriff, William McCullough, refused to hand him over to the mob, sparking further outrage. The lack of accurate information about Sarah Page and Diamond Dick Rowland, as well as the suppression of certain historical facts, highlights the importance of reliable reporting and the potential consequences of inflammatory media.
Tulsa Race Riot: Black WW1 veterans tried to integrate but were met with violence, then bravely defended their community, but Sheriff McCullough aided rioters, leading to a devastating massacre
During the Tulsa Race Riot in 1921, a group of World War 1 black veterans intervened and prevented a lynching. However, when they returned to their community of Greenwood, they were met with violence and retaliation. Sheriff McCullough, instead of maintaining order, deputized white rioters and handed out weapons, leading to a full-scale massacre. The veterans had initially tried to integrate into the Memorial Day parade but were refused, adding to their sense of injustice and determination to protect their community. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the veterans' courageous stand and subsequent defense of Greenwood against the advancing white army resulted in a devastating massacre that lasted for days.
Tulsa Race Massacre: The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 resulted in the destruction of a prosperous African American community and the displacement and trauma of thousands of people, highlighting the violent history of racial discrimination and its lasting impact.
The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 involved extreme violence and destruction, with entire blocks of the African American community of Greenwood being burned to the ground and thousands of people left homeless or dead. The rioters, who were largely white, targeted homes, businesses, and institutions, and even kept firefighters from putting out the fires. The violence was not quelled by the National Guard, who instead arrested black men and women. The massacre resulted in the displacement and trauma of thousands of people, and the devastation of a prosperous African American community. This tragic event is a stark reminder of the violent history of racial discrimination and the long-lasting impact it can have on individuals and communities.
Tulsa Race Riot Cover-up: The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 resulted in the death of potentially hundreds of Black residents, thousands left homeless, and no arrests, prosecutions, or reparations. The truth was largely covered up until the late 1990s.
The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 resulted in the devastation of the affluent Black community of Greenwood. The official report states that 35 people were killed, but estimates suggest the number was significantly higher, potentially up to 300. In the aftermath, thousands of residents were left homeless and detained in camps for months. No arrests or prosecutions were made, and there were no reparations or outside donations accepted for the recovery efforts. The insurance companies classified the event as a riot instead of a massacre to avoid compensation. The county commission proposed buying land for rebuilding but established a new building code that prevented the sale of building materials to Black people. Despite these challenges, Greenwood was rebuilt and even became more prosperous than before. However, hundreds, if not thousands, of people were buried in mass, unmarked graves, and their funerals were forbidden. The truth about the Tulsa Race Riot was largely covered up until the late 1990s when a bill was introduced for reparations and the creation of the Tulsa Race Riot Commission. The report held police and public officials accountable but did not result in any reparations. The case of the assault that ignited the riot, involving Dick Rowland and Sarah Page, remains a tragic reminder of this dark chapter in Tulsa's history.
Tulsa Race Riot: The Tulsa Race Riot resulted in the destruction of the thriving black community of Greenwood, highlighting the importance of accurate information and clear communication to prevent misunderstandings and their potentially devastating consequences.
The Tulsa Massacre of 1921, also known as the Tulsa Race Riot, is a significant but often overlooked event in American history. The massacre resulted in the destruction of the thriving black community of Greenwood, and its prosperity declined due to integration and the construction of highways that bisected the area. The story of this tragic event might have remained buried if not for the renewed interest brought about by the HBO series "Watchmen." Another key point is that miscommunications, no matter how small, can have significant consequences. A listener named Eli shared his experience of trying to correct the hosts' pronunciation of Cary Elwiss' name, which led to a misunderstanding and caused Eli distress. The importance of accurate information and clear communication is a valuable lesson for all.
