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.
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.
I believe the true number is 39 - 26 blacks and 13 whites. The first 10 killed were white.
Blacks massacred 10 whites.
The whites reacted as everyone would expect.
These days they are claiming it was 300-1000 or more killed
