I hope everyone by now has heard about the Tulsa race massacre in Oklahoma that happened 100 years ago May the 31st. There are conflicting reports about The reason the headline event was canceled. The attached link makes sense to me. In an effort to attain attention and respectability the Race Riot Committee included our racist Republican governor and senator. Leftists objected to their presence and right wingers understood that they were merely figureheads that did not believe in the memorial.
In any instance, real human beings should never forget the atrocities committed on Tulsa's Black Wall Street May the 31st 1921.

All this does now is send a message to thugs and bullies that intimidation works and if you want a return to "tur gud ole daze" all you have have to do is be a domestic terrorist, in the true sense of the word.

Ever since I moved to the Tulsa area a few years ago I've seen news stories on it weekly. People around here are very much aware.
Most Oklahoma's had never heard of it until 4 or 5 years ago. This is the 100th anniversary that's why you're seeing so much right now.
current # National Geographic also did cover story
There was an in-depth article in the Smithsonian magazine. After 100 years this horrible event is finally coming to light.
This massacre had been covered up in history. It happened in 20th century. Some of the victims are still alive. This must not be forgotten.
