The Tulsa Riot of 1921

[Ideal08]

This is a tidbit of history I knew nothing about. You learn something new everyday.

This is the worst riot in american history. 15,000 Blacks wer left homeless, between 300 and 3000 were killed, wounded and/or missing, 1500 homes were burned to the ground and over 600 Black owned businesses in a 35 square block area were bombed in the all Black Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was the first american city to be bombed by airplanes. More peope died this day than in any single event since the civil war (9/11?). White historians did an excelent job in wiping their footprints from the sand. Reference to this can't be found in any history books.
