In una città in cui vige la segregazione razziale ed al cui interno si è sviluppato un fiorente quartiere afroamericano chiamato Greenwood o "Black Wall Street", avviene uno strano incidente. Un lustrascarpe diciannovenne afro, Dick Rowland, è accusato di aver molestato una diciassettenne bianca, Sarah Page, manovratrice di ascensore in un palazzo in cui è presente una toilette per persone di colore. Quell'incidente dai contorni opachi è il pretesto utilizzato da una folla inferocita e infiltrata dal Klan per una resa dei conti definitiva con la popolazione nera in un terrificante massacro collettivo.

Welcome home!    On this MiniPod hosts Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and Angela Rye take us to Tulsa, Oklahoma. On Tuesday, lawyers for the two remaining survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre appealed to the state's Supreme Court to allow a reparations case to move forward. The two survivors, Mother Randle and Mother Fletscher, would like their day in court, and a chance to seek justice for the horrific crimes committed against them and their community– with involvement from Tulsa authorities, by the way.

For most in the US, even in Tulsa where this happened, no one knew about the devastation of Black Wall Street in the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Most until a HBO tv series, the Watchmen, featured the horrific incident on an episode. On Memorial Day in the Drexel Building in Tulsa, Dick Rowland took an elevator to use the segregated bathroom there. This innocent action sparked a massacre that would end with thirty five city blocks burned, planes dropping bombs, and nearly 300 people dead.

The Tulsa Race Riot also known as the Black Wall Street Massacre started on May 30th, 1921 when 19 year old Dick Rowland was accused of assaulting a 17 year old white girl named Sarah Page in Tulsa, Oklahoma.. After he was arrested, a massive crowd showed up at the courthouse with talks of him being lynched. Just then, an elderly white man tried to disarm a black man carrying a pistol. Shots rang out and all hell broke loose. The "black wall street" neighborhood of Greenwood was burned and many residents killed. The incident was pretty much suppressed by the city of Tulsa and the state until 1996 when an official commission was created to study the massacre and bring to light the atrocities that occured.

 On the morning of May 31st 1921, 19-year-old Dick Rowland, a Black shoeshiner, was accused of assaulting Sarah Page, the 17-year-old white elevator operator of the Drexel Building. After being arrested, a white mob formed outside of the county courthouse, where he was being held, with the intention of taking Rowland out and murdering him. The black citizens of Tulsa knew that Rowland was innocent and that they needed to do something in order to keep him alive. But when the mixture of the angry white men, combined with the concerned black men, violence broke out.  Over 18 hours a white mob attacked residents, homes and businesses in the predominantly black Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma, destroying everything in their path.  If you'd like to make a donation to Greenwood Rising or to the BLM movement check out the links below: Greenwood Rising: https://www.greenwoodrising.org/support-1BLM: https://blacklivesmatter.com/Other BLM Charities/Fundraisers: https://blacklives.help/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA6NOPBhCPARIsAHAy2zA3PxN1I3xYkHaIfejQvEDQVXerMWmGzAwa9tc-nY_7kpozAww_8W0aAuuXEALw_wcB

In this episode of Behind the Headlines, host Teri Barr talks with Tulsa World Editor Jason Collington, assistant editor Kendrick Marshall, and and reporter Randy Krehbiel. They share some of the new information learned while covering the anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre this year, along with the many things that remain unknown, and why a search for answers still continues. The horrible historic event, which left 35 square blocks in ashes and hundreds dead over the course of Memorial Day weekend 1921, erased decades of success for African Americans who had built solid homes and prosperous businesses in the Greenwood District of the city, also known as “Black Wall Street.” Many believe it started when a young black man, 19-year-old Dick Rowland, was accused of assaulting the white elevator operator, 17-year-old Sarah Page, triggering the mayhem that followed.

How Red Tape Threatens the Individual. The host for this show is Keli'i Akina. The guest is Jensen Ahokovi. The Grassroot Institute of Hawaii's newest research associate, Jensen Ahokovi, quoted founder Dick Rowland's quip, “The bigger government gets, the smaller you get,” in a recent commentary in Honolulu Civil Beat. Ahokovi wrote about Hawaii's stunningly large government bureaucracy and how too often it serves itself instead of the public. Program host Keli‘i Akina, president and CEO of the institute, talks with Ahokovi about why a limited government is a better way to ensure respect for the individual, as well as facilitate better economic outcomes, such as for healthcare and housing.

Alvin Hall tells the story of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the worst episodes of racial violence in US history - using newspaper archives, manuscripts, oral history interviews, and local experts. For many years this horrific event was suppressed, even Oklahomans didn't know about it. In the early 20th century, Tulsa was a wild west town which became a boom city. But the oil capital of the world was also home to the thriving and prosperous district of Greenwood - nicknamed Black Wall Street by Booker T Washington - because it was a mecca for Black entrepreneurs. Several were millionaires in today's money and and figured out ways to prosper during segregation, creating profitable businesses for Greenwood's 10,000 residents who couldn't spend their money with white businesses downtown. On May 30th, a young Black shoe shiner Dick Rowland, was wrongly accused of attacking a white elevator operator Sarah Paige (the girl later recanted her story). This was the trigger, on May 31st and June 1st, for an armed white mob to loot and burn Greenwood, in a violent 16-hour attack. It's impossible to know the true extent of the damage. Many estimate up to 300 Black citizens were killed. Over 1200 homes were destroyed, every church, hotel, shop, and business was completely wiped off the map. Almost $4 million in insurance claims were filed, but never paid since the city designated it a ‘riot'. Alvin examines the role of the local media in stoking up racial tension, the influence of the Ku Klux Klan, and how city officials instigated a cover up, while trying to prevent Greenwood's Black community from rebuilding so they could take the land. They resisted however, working and living initially in tents, and by the 1940s Greenwood was twice as prosperous, though this was ultimately short-lived. The story of the massacre was then buried, documents were destroyed, and threats were issued. Local historians, brave survivors and their descendants, fought for decades to bring it into the open. Now, on the centennial of the massacre, Tulsa is grappling with its shameful past and opinions are divided on how to mark the anniversary, including the right to reparations.

As Black teenager Dick Rowland sat in a jail cell at the Tulsa courthouse, news of his arrest flew through the town. Egged on by rumors about his alleged rape of white teenager Sarah Page, a white mob bent on a lynching Rowland began assembling outside the courthouse. By that evening, the crowd had swelled to thousands. Meanwhile, some young African American veterans of the recent world war were determined to defend Rowland, with their lives if necessary. When they arrived at the courthouse Tuesday night, they found themselves thrust into a situation far more volatile than they were prepared for.This episode originally aired in 2019.Listen to new episodes 1 week early and to all episodes ad free with Wondery+.

This week, we bring to light the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. On May 31, 1921 Dick Rowland was accused of assaulting a White woman in an elevator in downtown Tulsa. At the height of the lynching era in the United States, the accusation fueled racial tensions already present in a city with a rising affluent Black community centered in the Greenwood district. The race massacre left 10,000 people homeless and killed around 300 people. Black business owners and citizens on "Black Wall Street" lost their wealth and homes in a two day affair that permanently stained American race relations. We talk about how this incident in American history gets left out of curricula nationwide and the sometimes difficult job it can be to wrestle with dark times in American history. Especially with HB 1775 passing in Oklahoma earlier this month and the 1776 Commission launched by former President Trump late last year, this issue about how and what should be taught in our schools remains pertinent. Editor's note: While we talk about the necessity to be critical of our past, it is important to take a moment and express our sincere gratitude to those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation's freedom. This Memorial Day we thank all that have served this nation from its inception to today.

Con el enviado especial a Tulsa, Fran Sevilla, rememoramos la peor matanza racial de la historia de EEUU: la que tuvo lugar en esa localidad de Oklahoma entre el 31 de mayo y el 1 de junio de 1921. Una multitud de personas blancas, en connivencia con las autoridades locales, arrasó, saqueó y quemó más de 1.200 viviendas en una de las comunidades negras más prósperas del país. Hubo unos 300 muertos. El detonante fue una denuncia por agresión de una joven adolescente blanca, Sarah Page, contra un joven limpiabotas negro, Dick Rowland.  Escuchar audio

It was May, 30th 1921 and on this day Dick Rowland was on his way to the Drexel building. Which was mostly closed for the Memorial day holiday but the building had something that very few buildings in downtown Tulsa had. A colored restroom on the top floor, as Rowland walked toward the elevator. It was being operated by a 17 year old white woman by the name Sarah Page and he would step into history.Audio Onemichistory.com Please support our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=25697914Buy me a Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Countryboi2mSources:Riot and remembranceby James S.

May 30, 1921. Dick Rowland, a Black teenager, works as a shoeshine in the predominantly white downtown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. On his break, he goes into a nearby office building to use the restroom, and gets on the elevator. Sarah Page, a white teenager, is the elevator operator. What happens next is just an innocent accident, but it sparks the deadliest episode of racial violence in American history. What was the story behind Greenwood, the Tulsa neighborhood known as “Black Wall Street?” And why was it decimated on one horrific night?

A century ago, one of the worst episodes of racial violence in US history took place - the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Greenwood was a prosperous and thriving district, nicknamed 'Black Wall Street' because it was a mecca for Black entrepreneurs and businesses. Dick Rowland, was wrongly accused of attacking a white girl in an elevator - a charge she would quickly recant. But after a sensationalist newspaper report, a mob gathered outside the courthouse. Violence broke out, many of the white mob were deputised and given arms. During the evening of 31 May 1921 and 1 June, 35 square blocks of Greenwood were looted and burned to the ground. Jerica D Wortham is an author, poet, and publisher, born and raised in Greenwood. Jerica invites us to witness how the community is marking the centennial.

Scholars have labeled the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 as one of the most horrific incidents of racial violence in U.S. history. But why has that history remained under wraps for so long? Historian Dr. Karlos Hill of the University of Oklahoma; and Scott Ellsworth, author of "The Ground Breaking," shed new light on the disaster. And with this racial attack as a backdrop, host Eddie Robinson chats with acclaimed violinist, Daniel Roumain, about the real reason why he was recently fired from a special centennial concert hosted by Tulsa Opera. The Opera's artistic director, Tobias Picker, also makes a guest appearance and responds to Roumain's accusations with some surprising revelations.

In 1921, Tulsa, Oklahoma boasted one of the nation’s most prosperous African-American communities. Greenwood was home to 108 Black-owned businesses, two theaters, 15 physicians, two newspapers, and a luxury hotel. It was nicknamed “the Black Wall Street.”Then, on May 30th, a Black shoeshine boy named Dick Rowland was accused of assaulting a white teenaged elevator operator, Sarah Page. What happened next would ultimately lead to the destruction of Greenwood and the deaths of over 300 African Americans -- a massacre that, until recently, was virtually erased from American history.This episode originally aired in 2019.Listen to new episodes 1 week early and to all episodes ad free with Wondery+.

Today, with a full and grateful heart, I am welcoming back to the podcast Carole Boston Weatherford, author of Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre, illustrated by Floyd Cooper. May 31st, 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the Tulsa Race Massacre, a horrific event that devastated the wealthiest African American community in the entire nation. What provoked the event, beyond that elevator ride where Dick Rowland, and African American teen, either stumbled or stepped on the foot of Sarah Page, a young white elevator operator in a downtown office building, resulting in Rowland being jailed on assault charges… what provoked the event was Black advancement. As Carole reminds us in this interview, Black advancement is the single greatest threat to White Supremacy.

An explanation to Texas electric market is deregulated/privatized, Where Gen Z/Millennials Are Getting Distracted, Uncle Tom (2020 Prime film), and Black Wall Street/Tulsa race massacre. Texas Electric Market (a friend filled me in) "In Texas, the electric market is deregulated/privatized. You sign up for an electricity plan with a given company. That company then buys supply from various electricity producers. Whenever you sign up for a plan, there are different options available. For example, you can sign up for a flat rate plan or a variable rate plan, or some more complex plans with rates that vary based on hours of the day, amount used, etc.........Instead of being a libertarian free market approach, this is straight up cronyism and corruption. The power companies get to make as much profits as the market will allow in good times. But the minute a crisis hits they're allowed to completely ignore their contracts and pass on rate hikes to their customers. It's a classic case of private profits, socialized losses. Absolute corruption of the highest order." Where Gen Z and Millennials Are Getting Their Entertainment and Distraction - source Uncle Tom 2020 Amazon Prime Documentary - source Uncle Tom: An Oral History of the American Black Conservative Black Wall Street/Tulsa race massacre The massacre began during the Memorial Day weekend after 19-year-old Dick Rowland, a black shoeshiner, was accused of assaulting Sarah Page, the 17-year-old white elevator operator of the nearby Drexel Building. He was taken into custody. After the arrest, rumors spread through the city that Rowland was to be lynched. Upon hearing reports that a mob of hundreds of white men had gathered around the jail where Rowland was being kept, a group of 75 black men, some of whom were armed, arrived at the jail to ensure that Rowland would not be lynched. The sheriff persuaded the group to leave the jail, assuring them that he had the situation under control. As the group was leaving the premises, complying with the sheriff's request, a member of the mob of white men allegedly attempted to disarm one of the black men. A shot was fired, and then according to the reports of the sheriff, "all hell broke loose." At the end of the firefight, 12 people were killed: 10 white and 2 black. As news of these deaths spread throughout the city, mob violence exploded.[2] White rioters rampaged through the black neighborhood that night and morning killing men and burning and looting stores and homes. Around noon on June 1, the Oklahoma National Guard imposed martial law, effectively ending the massacre. About 10,000 black people were left homeless, and property damage amounted to more than $1.5 million in real estate and $750,000 in personal property (equivalent to $32.25 million in 2019). Many survivors left Tulsa, while black and white residents who stayed in the city kept silent about the terror, violence, and resulting losses for decades. The massacre was largely omitted from local, state, and national histories. Produced by The Wild 1 Media.

A 19-year old Black man, named Dick Rowland strides down Main Street. Once an orphan with his two sisters, Rowland was adopted by his current family and raised by them in Tulsa. He played basketball at the local Booker T. Washington high school, before he dropped out to begin work as a shoe-shiner at a parlor on Main Street. But right now, Rowland feels the call of nature. He exits the parlor and walks into a multi-story complex called the Drexel Building whose top floor bathroom is the only approved restroom for black workers on Main Street. Operating the elevator is a 17 year old white teenager named Sarah Page. She watches Rowland enter. Rowland had used this elevator before. And Page had operated this elevator for Rowland in the past. This was a routine interaction. Something they had done before and should have continued doing without incident. But what happens next, will change both their lives and Tulsa, Oklahoma forever. This is the Tulsa Massacre of 1921. Edited by Alyssa Deocampo. Music Composed by Jaimie Pangan.

Black Tulsans record a rap album in a house that once belonged to a famous Klansman. 

There used to be a neighborhood in Tulsa where Black people were wealthy. They owned businesses, built a giant church, a public library. Some Black Tulsans even owned airplanes. Booker T Washington called it “Black Wall Street.” Others called it “Little Africa” and today, most call it “Greenwood.” In the early 1900s, the neighborhood was prosperous and thriving, but Black Tulsans were still a racial minority in a young city that already had a reputation for vigilante justice. A local chapter of the KKK was starting to form. In the Spring of 1921, a Black shoe shiner named Dick Rowland was brought into custody for allegedly assaulting a white woman. Over the coming night and day, a huge mob of white Tulsans burned and looted and murdered in Greenwood and the surrounding areas. Dozens or possibly even hundreds of Black Tulsans died, thousands became homeless. But authorities never held anyone responsible. In fact, they detained many Black residents, some for up to a week. And insurance claims made in the aftermath were denied, as the insurance policies did not cover “riots.” Further reading on the Tulsa Race Massacre:Official Report from 2001 which describes the events of 1921 in detail and with context. Educational comic about the massacre published by the Atlantic and sponsored by HBO’s Watchmen. Riot and Remembrance By James S. HirschIn the decades that followed. Records of the event went missing, some fear they were destroyed. The mass graves have yet to be found. And many Black Tulsans believed they could face retribution for speaking out about the event. It wasn’t even taught in school until recently. As a result, a lot of Tulsans still don’t know the history of Greenwood. Local rapper Steph Simon was one of them. He grew up near Greenwood, and he went to middle school there. But it wasn’t until his 20’s when he stumbled upon a documentary about the massacre on Youtube. From there, he became obsessed with learning more about the true story of Tulsa. And in 2019, he released an album called Born on Black Wall Street where he reintroduces himself as “Diamond Dicky Ro” in homage to the young shoeshiner whom white mobs tried and failed to lynch on that night in 1921. In 2011, an Oklahoman journalist named Lee Roy Chapman wrote an article for the publication This Land. Chapman’s story, The Nightmare in Dreamland, was a devastating re-telling of the life’s story of an Oklahoman legend--a “founder” of Tulsa named Tate Brady. Brady was well known as an oil tycoon and hotel owner who ran in the elite circles. However, buried by history was Brady’s legacy of violence and racial animus. He was a defender of the Confederacy, he was credibly accused of tarring and feathering some IWW union members, and for part of his life, he was in the Ku Klux Klan. And on the night of the massacre, Brady was there, acting as a night watchman. He reported seeing several dead black people in the streets in or around Greenwood. With these revelations, a movement started to remove the Brady name from Tulsa. That movement succeeded partially, but the Brady name is still a part of the Tulsan landscape. When Steph Simon shot the cover image for Born On Black Wall Street, he wanted to incorporate the symbolism of Tate Brady. So he went to Brady’s former mansion—a house modelled visually after the house of Robert E. Lee’s, with murals of the Confederacy painted inside and big stone columns out front. It sits on a hill overlooking historic Greenwood. And he stood on the front steps of the mansion only to see a childhood friend driving by. It was Felix Jones, an ex-NFL running back. The two grew up together. To Simon’s surprise, Jones revealed that he’d just bought the mansion. And he invited Simon inside. Together they thought up ideas on how to transform the legacy of the house from something hateful to something loving. So Simon invited about a hundred Black kids to come have a party on the lawn while he filmed the music video for his single “Upside”. After that, Simon and Jones started throwing concerts there, drawing huge crowds and starting the slowly re-contextualizing the house into something positive. They renamed the house “Skyline Mansion.”As this transformation took place, another local DJ and producer, Stevie Johnson woke up in a cold sweat one night. He’d had a dream about rebuilding Black Wall Street, figuratively and literally. He opened his laptop and wrote down his ideas frantically, trying to remember his vision. And soon after, he started to act on it. His first step was Fire in Little Africa: a commemorative rap album to mark the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, featuring nearly sixty artists from Oklahoma. And over the course of a weekend in early 2020, rappers and community members and businesses filled Skyline Mansion to record dozens of tracks for the album. Fire in Little Africa will be available in February of 2021.

There used to be a neighborhood in Tulsa where Black people were wealthy. They owned businesses, built a giant church, a public library. Some Black Tulsans even owned airplanes. Booker T Washington called it “Black Wall Street.” Others called it “Little Africa” and today, most call it “Greenwood.” In the early 1900s, the neighborhood was prosperous and thriving, but Black Tulsans were still a racial minority in a young city that already had a reputation for vigilante justice. A local chapter of the KKK was starting to form. In the Spring of 1921, a Black shoe shiner named Dick Rowland was brought into custody for allegedly assaulting a white woman. Over the coming night and day, a huge mob of white Tulsans burned and looted and murdered in Greenwood and the surrounding areas. Dozens or possibly even hundreds of Black Tulsans died, thousands became homeless. But authorities never held anyone responsible. In fact, they detained many Black residents, some for up to a week. And insurance claims made in the aftermath were denied, as the insurance policies did not cover “riots.” Further reading on the Tulsa Race Massacre:Official Report from 2001 which describes the events of 1921 in detail and with context.

On May 31 and June 1, 1921, white residents of Tulsa, Oklahoma descended on the Greenwood District of Tulsa. This district, colloquially referred to as Black Wall Street, was a prosperous district populated by mostly black residents due to Tulsa's harsh segregation laws. The massacre was instigated by the alleged assault on a white woman by 19 year old Dick Rowland, and by the end, an as-yet-unnamed number of people were killed. Original death reports numbered 36; it is likely hundreds of people were killed in the mob violence. The Tulsa Massacre is also the opening sequence of the 2019 HBO series Watchmen, a sequel to the 1986 comic series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, originally adapted to film in 2009 by Zach Snyder. Pete and Martha get into all three stories, touching on Watchmen's original thesis statements and how Damon Lindelof has made it particularly resonant to us today.

This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, we take a look at one of the most deadly incidents of anti-black violence in US history: The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. White mobs rampaged through Tulsa, Oklahoma’s African American neighborhood and burned it to the ground, killing between 100 and 300 black residents in the process. The incident was quickly covered up and driven from public memory. But in the 1990s activists and scholars began to unearth the shocking truth. Feature Story: The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 On May 31, 1921 – 99 years ago this week – mobs of heavily armed white residents of Tulsa, Oklahoma rampaged through the city’s African-American district named Greenwood. They stole property, set fire to buildings, and indiscriminately killed black men, women, and children. When it was over, this pogram known as the Tulsa Race Massacre left between 100 and 300 people dead and 35 blocks in smoldering ruins. It was one of the single most deadly incidents of racist violence in American history. And yet, it was quickly driven from public memory. The years between the end of World War I in 1918 and the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921 were marked by many incidents of extreme anti-black violence. This surge in violence was due to many factors. The end of World War I brought a massive strike wave as millions of workers walked off the job. Fear of socialism, communism, and anarchism surged as the nation plunged into one of its periodic Red Scares. Also contributing to the social tension was the fact that millions of African-Americans had in the previous decade moved to northern cities, part of what historians referred to as the Great Migration. Chicago’s black population, for example, jumped from 44,000 in 1910 to 110,000 in 1920. And on top of this, the Ku Klux Klan had re-emerged in 1915 as a vibrant national organization that by the mid-1920s would have 5 million members. Each of these trends contributed to surging anti-black racism that led to many incidents of violence against African-American individuals and neighborhoods. In 1919 alone, there were 25 major anti-black riots in the US.  One of the worst took place in Chicago in July 1919 that left 38 dead.  There were also 76 African Americans lynched in the South in 1919, including ten black soldiers who had returned from active duty in World War I. Up until May of 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma had been relatively peaceful. But it was an oil-rich city of 72,000 that was strictly segregated. In fact, when Oklahoma was admitted to the union in 1907, the very first laws passed by the state legislature imposed segregation and disenfranchisement upon its black population. Despite these laws and a climate of racial hostility, Tulsa’s African-American population was one of the most prosperous In the United States. In fact, the Greenwood section of Tulsa where most African-Americans lived, was nicknamed the Negro Wall Street. It was filled with thriving black-owned businesses ranging from barbershops and retails stores to law firms and doctor’s offices. Many white citizens of Tulsa resented this black economic success. And it was this resentment that escalated the situation on May 31, 1921. Like so many incidents of anti-black racial violence in US history, this one began with an incident involving a black male and a white female. On May 30, a 17-year-old girl named Sarah Page, who operated an elevator in downtown Tulsa, accused 19-year-old Dick Rowland of assaulting her. Rowland was taken into custody and brought to the local courthouse. The next day, partly inspired by an inflammatory article about the incident in the local newspaper, a large crowd of angry white men gathered outside the courthouse. It was a scene that was a typical prelude to a lynching. Not surprisingly, rumors that Rowland was about to be lynched raced through the black community, prompting a large group of armed black men to arrive at the courthouse. A standoff ensued, and then shots rang out. Which side fired first remains an unanswered question. Both sides exchanged gunfire before dispersing. The clash left 12 killed, 10 white and two black. Immediately word of the incident spread throughout the city. Within an hour, large crowds of heavily armed white men gathered. It was clear what they were planning to do. And yet, the city’s police force did nothing to stop them. In fact, research would later show that police officials handed out weapons to members of the mob and that many also joined in as it descended upon the black community in Greenwood. As the attack began, many African-Americans managed to flee the district. But many were trapped and murdered by the mob. Some were shot and others stabbed, and still others were  consumed by the flames set by arsonists. Members of the mob also looted homes and businesses before setting them on fire. The violence lasted all night and into the morning hours of June 1. It ended only when a large contingent of the Oklahoma National Guard arrived to impose martial law. Some 35 blocks of Greenwood were completely destroyed. Damages were estimated at $2.25 million, the equivalent of $32 million in 2020. Adding insult to injury, local officials and national guardsmen rounded up nearly every African American in the city and placed them in hastily constructed detention camps. All were treated as perpetrators, rather than innocent victims. Some were held for weeks before being released. And then there was the death toll. The official death toll was 36 African Americans killed. But African-American leaders at the time claimed the number was significantly higher, well over 100 and perhaps as high as 300. They also claimed that white officials, in an effort to cover up the enormity of the massacre, had hastily buried hundreds of black victims in a mass grave. And the cover up worked. The staggering death toll, along with the city’s complicity in allowing the massacre to take place, were soon purged from public memory. At least white public memory. African-Americans certainly didn’t forget the trauma and loss, but in this era of Jim Crow, they were powerless, unable to obtain any justice or public recognition of the incident. And it stayed that way for 75 years. The city of Tulsa never put up a historic plaque or memorial. Its school children never learned about the incident in their history classes. And the nation remained ignorant of this monstrous event. But the silence about the Tulsa Race Massacre began to break in the 1990s as African-Americans gained more political power and begin to push for a full inquiry into the incident. In 1996, The 75th anniversary of the massacre, the state legislature created the Oklahoma Commission to Study the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921. Note the title of the commission: it referred to the incident as the Tulsa Race Riot. This misnaming was significant and intentional. Nearly every massacre of African-Americans by white mobs in American history has been labeled a “race riot,” a name that suggests an equal culpability between violent whites and violent blacks attacking each other. But in every case, these so-called race riots Involved black communities being attacked by white mobs. Not surprisingly, as a more accurate and complete picture emerged of what occurred in Tulsa and other sites of anti-black violence, these incidents have been renamed to reflect what they really were: massacres. The commission worked for five years, taking testimony and funding research into the massacre. In 2001, it released its official report. Among its many findings, the commission declared that Tulsa’s political leaders had conspired with the leaders of the mob to allow the massacre to unfold without any resistance by law enforcement. It also recommended that reparations be paid to any survivors and their descendants. City and state officials balked at the call for reparations, but the state did establish scholarships for descendants of victims and survivors of the massacre. It also provided funding for historical markers and a memorial park that was completed in 2010. More recently, just a few months ago, the story of the Tulsa Race Massacre was made on official part of the state of Oklahoma’s public school curriculum. And the search for the truth about what actually happened and how many people were murdered that day continues. Just a few months ago, researchers announced that they had found several sites in Tulsa that appear to contain mass graves. Plans are in the works to excavate the sites to determine if they contain victims of the 1921 massacre. If they do, it will likely clarify the true death toll. Finally, the Tulsa Race Massacre drew renewed interest this year when it was featured as the starting point for HBO’s hit TV series, “Watchmen.” So what else of note happened this week in US history? May 25, 1787 - The Constitutional Convention officially opened in Philadelphia with 55 delegates in attendance, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison. Over the next four months, they drafted a new Constitution for the United States to replace the initial Articles of Confederation which had been deemed weak and ineffective. May 25, 1977 - the blockbuster film “Star Wars” opened in theaters. May 26, 1924 - President Calvin Coolidge signed the National Origins Act that sharply restricted immigration for the next 40 years. It not only shrank the volume of immigration from as many as 1 million immigrants per year to about 200,000, the law also intentionally discriminated against undesirable immigrant groups like Jews and Italians. It was replaced by a more equitable immigration law in 1965. May 30, 1922 - The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in Washington DC.   And what notable people were born this week in American history?   May 26, 1895 - photographer Dorothea Lange. Her most famous photograph is Migrant Mother, which captured the desperate face of a struggling mother and her children during the Great Depression.   May 26, 1926 - jazz trumpeter Miles Davis May 27, 1794 - railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. May 27, 1819 - poet and author Julia Ward Howe who is best known for writing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" during the Civil War. May 27, 1907 - writer and marine biologist Rachel Carson who helped launch the modern environmental movement with her book, Silent Spring. May 29, 1917 - 35th POTUS John F. Kennedy May 31, 1819 - poet Walt Whitman The Last Word Let’s give it to Walt Whitman, who was born 201 years ago this week. In his preface to his masterful collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, Whitman urged his readers to free themselves of ideas, conventions, and traditions that suppressed their true selves. “re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.” For more information about the In The Past Lane podcast, head to our website, www.InThePastLane.com  Music for This Episode Jay Graham, ITPL Intro (JayGMusic.com) The Joy Drops, “Track 23,” Not Drunk (Free Music Archive) Sergey Cheremisinov, “Gray Drops” (Free Music Archive) Pictures of the Flow, “Horses” (Free Music Archive) Ondrosik, “Tribute to Louis Braille” (Free Music Archive) Alex Mason, “Cast Away” (Free Music Archive) Squire Tuck, “Nuthin’ Without You” (Free Music Archive) Ketsa, “Multiverse” (Free Music Archive) Ketsa, “Memories Renewed” (Free Music Archive) Dana Boule, “Collective Calm” (Free Music Archive) Borrtex, “Motion” (Free Music Archive) Ondrosik, “Breakthrough” (Free Music Archive) Cuicuitte, “sultan cintr” (Free Music Archive) Blue Dot Sessions, "Pat Dog" (Free Music Archive) Jon Luc Hefferman, “Winter Trek” (Free Music Archive) The Bell, “I Am History” (Free Music Archive) Production Credits Executive Producer: Lulu Spencer Graphic Designer: Maggie Cellucci Website by: ERI Design Legal services: Tippecanoe and Tyler Too Social Media management: The Pony Express Risk Assessment: Little Big Horn Associates Growth strategies: 54 40 or Fight Recommended History Podcasts Ben Franklin’s World with Liz Covart @LizCovart The Age of Jackson Podcast @AgeofJacksonPod Backstory podcast – the history behind today’s headlines @BackstoryRadio Past Present podcast with Nicole Hemmer, Neil J.

On Monday, May 30, 1921 an African American shoe shine boy named Dick Rowland boarded an elevator in the Drexel building in downtown Tulsa, OK and headed for the upper floor restroom as he had done in the past. On the elevator was a young Caucasian elevator operator named Sarah Page. According to Rowland, who was known around town as "Diamond Dick," the elevator lurched, causing him to fall against Page, who then screamed. A nearby white store clerk store ran to her aid. Fearing for his safety, Rowland Fled. The store clerk reported the incident as an attempted assault. After word of the alleged assault made its way around town, a mob formed outside of the jail Rowland was being kept in that in all likely hood would have lynched him if they could. Ultimately Page refused to testify against Rowland and declined to prosecute the case. The damage, however, had already been done. In this episode, listeners will hear excerpts of the documentary, "The Origins of Lynching Culture in the United States." The documentary is produced by the organization, “Facing History and Ourselves.” Their mission is to use the lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to bigotry and hate.

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we look at a dark (and often unknown) chapter from American history, the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. This was brought to the public’s attention in the excellent HBO Watchmen series, and many people (hosts included) thought it was just a fiction from this world of super heroes. However, it was very real and very tragic. The whole thing unfolded in perhaps the most unique and prosperous neighborhood for African Americans in the all of the US, a portion of Tulsa known as Greenwood. This area was called the Black Wall Street. It was a place where wealth black investors from Chicago and New York moved. It had movie theaters, jewelry stores, high end restaurants, everything that many black communities didn’t have. The problem was, Tulsa also had white supremacy groups such as the KKK and the Knights of Liberty. They ran lynch mobs and saw vigilante “justice” even on white criminals who they would storm out of police detention and kill. On Memorial Day weekend, a black shoe shiner named Dick Rowland had an encounter with elevator operator named Sarah Page in the elevator of the Drexler Building. She screamed. He ran out. The next day he was arrested for no particular reason. By that afternoon, a mob of 1000 people stormed the sheriff’s department, even though they concluded no crime was committed. Some black residents banded together with weapons (many were vets from WWI), and thing escalated quickly. Shots were fired, and ten whites and two black were dead in minutes. The white mob armed itself and stormed Greenwood. They burned down 35 city blocks in one night. They destroyed the businesses, torched 1200 houses, left 8000 black residents homeless, and murdered as many as 300 innocent victims. The immediate response afterward was a systematic cover up. No journalist could write about it. Tulsa police and military records went missing, and all the culpability of city leaders who stoked the flames were disappeared. There have since been memorials and calls for reparation, but even Dr. Manhattan can’t save the day this time.   Visit Our Sources: https://www.theatlantic.com/sponsored/hbo-2019/the-massacre-of-black-wall-street/3217/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_massacre https://www.history.com/topics/roaring-twenties/tulsa-race-massacre https://www.tulsahistory.org/exhibit/1921-tulsa-race-massacre/ https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/21/arts/television/watchmen-tulsa-race-riot.html https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=TU013 https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2018/10/11/we-lived-like-we-were-wall-street/ https://www.npr.org/2019/12/17/789015343/new-research-identifies-possible-mass-graves-from1921-tulsa-race-massacre https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/possible-mass-grave-1921-tulsa-race-massacre-found-researchers-n1102781 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/long-lost-manuscript-contains-searing-eyewitness-account-tulsa-race-massacre-1921-180959251/ https://www.theringer.com/2018/6/28/17511818/black-wall-street-oklahoma-greenwood-destruction-tulsa

The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 is considered to be the worst race riot in U.S. history. The actual number of black citizens killed by local, white, militia men and others as a result of the riot was estimated by the Red Cross to be approximately 300. The circumstances leading up to the riot are in question. But late in the afternoon of May 30, 1921, a black teenager, Dick Rowland, used the elevator in the Drexel building in downtown Tulsa. As Dick Rowland exited the elevator, an employee of Renberg’s clothing store heard what was thought to be a scream. The clerk reached the conclusion that Sarah Page, the white elevator operator had been assaulted. Newspaper headlines supported the account and a race riot broke out on May 31, 1921.Otis Clark was 19 years old on May 31, 1921. Otis was 106 years old at the time of this interview November 23, 2009. While not an eyewitness to the lynch mob–he and his friend were the target of rifle shots. He chose to leave Tulsa to escape the encampments setup for blacks. Otis moved to California where he became an evangelist. In 1998 he returned to Tulsa where he lived for a few years before retiring to Seattle, Washington.

This episode is being recorded on May 30, 2019.  It is a special edition episode that is part history, part imaginal prayer, part generational healing, part reminder of the violence that man is capable when we veer too far away from the commandment to love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole mind and to love your neighbor as yourself.  It is not meant to rationalize or explain away the horrible actions of white mobs, nor is it meant to diminish in anyway the haunting horrible effects their actions had on those days.  It is an event that occurred in my home city nearly 50 years before I was born and it’s aftermath haunts the residents of that city and of our nation to this day.  The purpose of this imaginal prayer exercise is recall that tragic and violent event and pray for healing of the city and nation it occurred in, for healing of the victims, for healing of the perpetrators and for healing of the racial tensions still festered and harbored below the surface by many in our country who are European American, African American, Latin American, and Native American.  On this date 98 years ago in 1921 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, one of the worst incidents of racial violence in the history of the United States was about to erupt.  On the morning of May 30, 1921, a young black man named Dick Rowland was riding in the elevator of the Drexel Building at Third and Main with a 17 year old white elevator attendant named Sarah Page.  The details of what occurred are not certain.  Sarah Page screamed and Dick Rowland was seen running from the elevator.  Police were called, Rowland was accused of assault.  Newspaper accounts spread news of the suspected assault of a white girl by a black man. The Tulsa Tribune — the evening newspaper int he city — printed an editorial to “Nab Negro for Attacking Girl on Elevator”. By the next day, May 31, Rowland was arrested and taken into custody.  Whites gathered around the courthouse which led to fears he’d be lynched.  Alarmed, some of the local black population gathered at the courthouse too, some armed.  Shots were fired.  12 people were killed.  The mobs dispersed — the black community members went back to the Greenwood District where most of the black community in Tulsa lived at the time.  The Greenwood District was a prosperous black business area.  Booker T. Washington dubbed it the “black Wall Street.” In the early hours of June 1, 1921 a white mob retaliated by invading the Greenwood District looting and burning the district destroying many of the businesses, homes, and buildings in the area.  The racial massacre lasted for over 16 hours and in the end some 40 city blocks of buildings and homes had been destroyed, the “official” death toll was reported to be 36 killed — now believed to be closer to 300 black people killed, 10,000 black citizens of Tulsa left homeless. No rioters were ever charged.  Dick Rowland was never charged for the incident in the elevator.   It was a dark moment in the city of Tulsa, and our country for that matter, that was rarely discussed or taught in the schools.  Growing up and being educated in the Tulsa Public Schools, what little was discussed about the worst racial violence in our country was described as a “race riot” with little details save for the description of the incident in the elevator and a high level discussion of what ensued.  Today, we know that it was described as a “race riot” because a riot was one of the few clauses in most insurance policies at the time where the insurance company did not have to pay on claims involving a riot.  None of the black owned businesses ever received compensation for any claims maid against their insurance during the incident. The light of truth shines today as we now know it was not a “race riot”, but thanks to historians and activists who have helped us identify it for what it was a “race massacre.” In recent years there has been much talk about reparations.  I don’t know how reparations could ever truly be made for the utter violence and destruction that occurred at the hands of angry white mobs.  I do know that God’s grace, God’s love, God’s light and truth heals. I thought an imaginal prayer exercise remembering those involved, those who witnessed it, the victims, the violent mobs, and all their descendants left to make sense of the violent massacre and destruction and loss was in order. This imaginal prayer exercise will be holding all of the above — living and deceased — in Divine Light and love with the intention of healing all involved and impacted by the events and seeking to eradicate in our imaginal prayer such racially violent energy and desires from taking hold of men again. 

On May 30, 1921 a young man named Dick Rowland, who was about 19 years old, got on an elevator in the Drexel Building, on South Main St.   He entered the elevator and, in some way, came in contact with Sarah Page, who was the elevator’s operator.  She was about 17 years old.  Sarah let out a scream and a clerk in a nearby store heard her yell, Dick Rowland ran from the scene, and the store clerk called the police.

In acknowledgement of Black Histort Month, on tonight's show we'll be having a little history lesson on "Black Wall Street", its rise, its fall, and where blacks economically stand today as a result. For those who don't know, Black Wall Street originated in Tulsa, Oklahoma; a town you may have heard of for reasons unrelated to Black Wall Street. A lot of us may have heard of the term "Black Wall Street" but lack knowledge of its history, identity and place in African American history and there's no better time to have this discussion than in Black History Month. "Oklahoma became an official U.S. State in 1907. During the early 20th century, Oklahoma was a state in which many blacks took refuge as it posed a more promising and habbital life style for blacks. After starting their own community (originally known as "Little Africa" later named "Greenwood" and eventually known as "Negro Wall Street" later to be named "Black Wall Street"), blacks started to expand their community and economy by building more thriving businesses. Blacks were faced with racial segregation laws that prevented them from shopping anywhere other than Greenwood, which ultimately played to their advantage as their money continued to circulate within their own community. Blacks were literally creating their own economy. In the early 20th century, there was an attempt to make Oklahoma the "First Black State" which was significant in attracting blacks to migrate there. Blacks were thriving until racial tesions lead to one of the greatest tragedies in United States history. Lead by the alleged assault of a young black 19 year old shoe shiner, Dick Rowland, on Sarah Page, a 17 year old white young lady, arguably the biggest race riot in U.S. history broke out, causing millions of dollars in damages and an esitmated death total of 300 blacks.
