*Images of the reporting detail the course of the battle.*
Who started the riot. As we have seen, it doesn’t take much. Look what they did to NYC....and dozens of other cities...and for what gain? Stupid...
Bkmk
This was a complicated event quite different from Hollywood portrayal
How many whites die at the hands of black predators or white women raped by them....
Where is their movie
This will repeat if Biden/Harris have their way.

Would you able to find the images of the New York Times from June 2, 1921 as you have done for the Civil War editions?
The anniversary for The Battle of Athens is August 1st.
It was not a “massacre.” It was a pitched battle.
Not only that, much of what burned was a notorious red light district (saloons, pool halls and brothels) which had been a blight on the city.
Check out the links at post six.
I was never clear as to how this riot started - (and it's still a bit sketchy to this day):
Without warning a number of armed Negroes under the lead of obnoxious and dangerous men of their race proceeded through the downtown business section of Tulsa to the courthouse and began a demonstration of defiance and lawlessness. They were advised that no attempt was being made to lynch the Negro prisoner and retired from the scene, only to return later with apparent reinforcements, many of them armed with pistols .and guns and one body of them were marching in columns of fours, showing military, or at least recent organization and drill. Insulting demands were made by these Negroes on the peace officers, a shot or two was fired and a race riot immediately started. The Negroes began firing indiscriminately and before they vacated the business section several white men and several Negroes had been killed.
The timeline link paints a somewhat different picture, but the “flashpoint” was unquestionably the meeting of two mobs outside the court house.
Yup. Lead story is the Tulsa riots. 85 dead. Nasty stuff. Is that your interest in the date? I can get links if you want.
I believe the true number is 39 - 26 blacks and 13 whites. The first 10 killed were white.
Exactly. Yes, please.
Here’s the link to the lead story, but it only has the first few lines. Then there is a link to the Times Machine image that has all the articles. I don’t know if that will work if you are not a subscriber. And why would any sane person subscribe to the NY Times? Let me know. I can do a screen shot/cut and paste, like I do with the 160 year old stuff, but that is more complicated.
Don’t know. Seems whitey like Marx and Hitler, spred ideas that killed millions. I don’t know if there will be a movie about the love of communist/socialist ideas that they pushed. Or perhaps we can blame the individual, and stop blaming groups.
Are you crazy? That would eliminate half the posts here on Free Republic!
Blacks massacred 10 whites.
The whites reacted as everyone would expect.
Excellent links, sir!
