The Tulsa Race Massacre, also known as the Tulsa Burning, was a devastating event that took place in 1921 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It began on May 31 and continued for approximately 18 hours. A mob of white residents attacked the prosperous African American neighborhood of Greenwood, known as "Black Wall Street." They looted, burned homes, businesses, and churches, resulting in the destruction of the entire community. Tragically, many lives were lost, and hundreds of Black residents were injured or left homeless. The Tulsa Burning stands as a dark chapter in American history, highlighting the systemic racism and violence endured by Black communities.
