Marshall Brown, Ph.D., Contributing Writer, Historic photo of 1921 Massacre in Tulsa When President Joe Biden emphatically stated, from Tulsa, Okla., “My fellow Americans, this was not a riot; this was a massacre,” his audience burst into applause June, 1. The 46th President of the United States was in Tulsa to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. The May 31, 1921 massacre took place as a white mob violently attacked black residents, destroyed and burned their homes and businesses in the-then prosperous black Greenwood District and business hub known as “Black Wall Street.” After 16 hours of violence, the horrific event left as many as 300 dead, 35 city blocks destroyed and thousands of blacks displaced.
