South Dakotans are trying to get the Fawcett (bison) Kill Site in Ree Heights nominated to the National Register of Historic Places on behalf of the South Dakota State Historic Preservation Office. Augustana students recently accompanied volunteers from the South Dakota Historical Society and staff from Augustana’s Archaeology Lab in Western Hand County to conduct a field investigation of the prehistoric bison kill site that was first discovered in 2015, and revisited in 2017 by several universities in South Dakota and historical Society.

1. FIRE IN LITTLE AFRICA - FIRE IN LITTLE AFRICA
On June 1, the city of Tulsa in Oklahoma marked 100 years since white supremacists burnt to the ground a wealthy African-American suburb that had come to be known as Black Wall Street. To commemorate the occasion, a hip-hop collective calling themselves Fire In Little Africa released an album about the event, recorded in a Tulsa mansion previously owned by a local member of the Ku Klux Klan. The album s producer, a PhD-toting academic who deejays as Dr View, said it wasn t until he was 24 years old that he heard the history of Black Wall Street. I d finished two degrees, he said. Two degrees! And I d just found out about it, and it was in my backyard. It was a wake-up call. Also addressing the event is the new album by blues musician Guy Davis, on which he sings: It ain t right, no it ain t right, what the white folks did in Tulsa on that night. MORE >
