    Hi, Tulsan here. Raised in this city as long as I can remember.

    Only in the last few years has the Tulsa Race Massacre entered mandatory curriculum, I didn’t hear about it until college. When I did hear about it, I also heard that it was purposely censored and historical records of newspapers were missing from libraries and the like. All these fuckers do is deny and pretend bad things didn’t happen.

    It’s our own Tiannamen Square. To reiterate, it’s the Tulsa Race Massacre. That has never been disputed. They wanted to lynch a black man and destroyed countless black homes. Please keep talking about this race massacre whenever relevant so that we don’t forget it and let the republican disinformation machine claim another casualty.
