Why Black Tulsans say politics has failed them Read full article Oops! Tulsa is commemorating the centennial of the 1921 race massacre, a violent incident of racism that almost entirely destroyed the city’s Black community. The events are putting a spotlight on Black Tulsans’ long, painful struggle toward racial equality – a struggle echoed throughout U.S. history in Black communities across the country. Both historically and in today’s political environment, the sense among many Black voters in Tulsa is that neither party really has their interests at heart. “They feel it doesn’t matter either way, Republican or Democrat,” says Mareo Johnson, a local pastor and founder of Black Lives Matter Tulsa. “‘Nothing is going to change in my situation, my circumstance, my surroundings.’”

How Tulsa is unburying – and confronting – a history of racism Read full article May 27, 2021, 3:51 AM·29 min read On May 31 and June 1, 1921, a white mob – enraged by a rumor that a young Black man had assaulted a white woman – attacked the Black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The mob set fire to the district, looted businesses, killed Black residents, and displaced thousands. It was one of the most devastating incidents of racist violence in U.S. history. And it stayed mostly unmentioned for decades. Today, 100 years after what is now known as the Tulsa race massacre, the city is finally reckoning with its past. But the process is raising difficult questions. Some residents say such a horrific event needs to be brought forward and understood. Others, however, ask why the memory needs to be relived at all.
