Back then Tulsa was an oil boom town with lots of crime. Not long before the riot a mob had lynched a white boy for murder. His age is often given as between 16 and 20 years of age.
One of the instigators of the riot was claimed to be the Tulsa Tribune-Democrat news paper. Richard Lloyd Jones Sr. wrote a hot article on the Editorial Page. If ANYONE has a copy of that page from that date he has a gold mine!
All copies of the editorial have disappeared.
Well, I'm sure something big happened there, as I've just read about it and seen some pictures of unrest. Unfortunately that's about all I'll ever know about it, since it was never taught in our history books prior to the day I became the world's biggest Doubting Thomas (the day that FOX News declared George S to be an off-limits topic).
That's all past history anyhow .. I'm concerned about there here-and-now, and I want to know if these protesters arrived to the protest (or to where the bus picked them up) in newer/nicer vehicles than mine.
Exactly.
The best way to deal with racists is to shoot them. Repeatedly.
