May 31, 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa, Okla. race massacre, which left at least 300 dead and over 35 blocks of the Greenwood District burned to the ground. That area was the wealthiest Black community in the U.S. in 1921.
The massacre is examined in three new documentaries premiering in the next few weeks.
The first,
Blindspot: Tulsa Burning starts on May 28.
The documentary features film footage of Black people living in the Greenwood District from 1919 to 1921. It focuses on the birth and destruction of the District during the massacre on May 31 to June 1, 1921. It then examines the aftermath of the massacre and the area’s reconstruction.
