It should have stayed a state holiday.
That must be the Klan version.
Supposedly an excerpt from: “The History of Tulsa, Oklahoma A City With A Personality Together With A glimpse down the corridors of the past into Old Indian Territory, The Five Civilized Tribes, The Creek Nation, Tulsa Recording District and Tulsa County How Oklahoma was Created and Something of the Builders of a Commonwealth by Colonel Clarence B. Douglas, vol.1, pages 620-627.”
It only makes sense as a regional or state holiday, since the event applied only to the area under the command of the Union general. It was never a Democrat holiday, that is for sure.
Like everything else, even the Reagan Library, that the communists appropriate and then turn on its head.
This site is a great resource, interesting to peruse the contemporary accounts:

Sounds like it was written in the heyday of it.
See the links at posts 32 and 47 and this...
Federal Report on Vice Conditions in Tulsa. In short, this report goes into great detail about the severity of the “vices” in Tulsa were in April of 1921. The report begins with a summary of what Tulsa’s vice situation was at the time of the report.
“
“Summary of conditions: Vice conditions in this city are extremely bad. Gambling, bootlegging and prostitution are very much in evidence. At the leading hotels and looming houses the bell hops and porters are pimping for women, and also selling booze, [r]egarding violations of the law, these prostitutes and pimps solicit without any fear of the police, as they will invariably remind you that you are safe in these houses” (Federal Report on Vice Conditions in Tulsa).

Wow, do women become bald like that? Strange.
For the umpteenth time, don’t care.
Will Smith is on his way to “educate” you.
“To choose the date, to come to Tulsa, is totally disrespectful.” Who ever said this is and was a fool.
Tulsa - I’m gonna guess drug related.
[Tulsa - I’m gonna guess drug related.]
Tulsa - the only place I’ve ever witnessed a shoot-out.
And it was all civilians.
I saw only two shooters but there may have been 3 or 4; possibly as many as 5.
The two I saw were Caucausian.
But I figured - Drugs/Gang-related.
One of them was driving a BMW 635.
This was more than 20 years ago.
I think she had a high hairline and her hair was pulled back there.
At least that’s what it looks like to me.
A gun jumped off the shelf and shot them for no reason. Not!
It’s interesting that the articles describe Ms. Gamble Smith’s activities and include testimonies from her friends, but not one word about Mr. Smith except that he died. Not his occupation, not anyone saying, “So awful he died ...,” just crickets.
“ None, not one, of these black leftists have ever given a single reason for declaring Trump a racist.”
Where have you been? Isn’t it obvious? Trump is a rich, white male. Of course he’s a racist, his family couldn’t have made all that money unless it was (somehow) based on slavery and black exploitation.
Gish, buddy, listen to the MSM
