Today is a special Edition of the show and podcast. This weekend America is remembering an d commentating the 100 year Anniversary of the Black Wall Street Massacre which took place between May 31 and June 1 1921 in Tulsa OK or the Greenwood District.  Black Wall street was the epitome of Black empowerment and wealth creation of a Black community of some former slaves that many turned from rags to riches.  It proved that it can be done and done again and again.  Building a prosperous community and economy with no outside help is what make this story so inspiring for us today…it removes the excuses!This exciting and vibrant community came to an abrupt halt when jealous race angry mobs came in to kill, steal and destroy this community.  But like every powerful story, it has a good ending.Today on the show we will share clips from interviews of survivors of the massacre such as Dr. Olivia Hooker, storytellers including Hannibal B. Johnson the author of BlacK Wall Street From RIOT to Renaissance and even an interview with Actor and Author Hill Harper with a future Black Wall Street endeavor that is pretty exciting.  I hope that the sounds and voices in this show will not only entertain but also educating you, Encourage and Empower you to perhaps build something yourself refusing to use the excuse of lack of opportunity.Build YOUR Black Wall Street!If you can, visit Tulsa OK for its 100 year Anniversary events and new museums this weekend.Well lets jump right in and I hope you enjoy the show!

On May 31, 1921, white mobs attacked a prosperous Black neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, known as “Black Wall Street.” As many as three hundred people were killed, and more than a thousand homes and businesses were destroyed. Olivia Hooker was six years old at the time. She remembers watching white men with torches come through her family’s backyard, and hiding under a table with her siblings. Radio Diaries interviewed Olivia Hooker about the massacre in 2018. Six months later, she passed away at age 103. Today, to mark the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre, we revisit our interview with Olivia Hooker and speak with Kavin Ross about why the story of the massacre was buried for decades. **** Radio Diaries is a proud member of Radiotopia, a network of creators who are able to follow their curiosity and tell the stories they care about the most.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. We’ll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people. We’ll examine news reports from the past seven days and – hopefully – promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS Whites dedicated the week to celebrate the annual Thanksgiving holiday. Hypocritically, a number of "progressive" Whites are allegedly working to speak truthfully about the holiday's connection to genocide. Speaking of White Terrorism, Mississippi's U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith remains embroiled in a contentious runoff election. A video shows the White politician saying she would be front row at a hanging. She's standing by her remarks, has refused to apologize and, of course, had no shortage of White character witnesses to swear that she is most certainly not a Racist. A National treasure and living documentarian, Olivia Hooker died this week at the age of 103. She was one of the last known survivors of the infamous 1921 Tulsa Oklahoma pogram of White barbarism that left untold black citizens dead and dispossessed of property. A new Frontline documentary, "Documenting Hate: New American Nazis," suggests that White enjoyment and dedication to violence against black people remains a core component of White culture. #PilgramsAreTerrorists INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#
