100 years ago this past Monday and Wednesday, a white mob massacred hundreds of black grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, babies, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and cousins in Tulsa Oklahoma. This act of white supremacist domestic terrorism was an expression of the racial hatred and sadism that has been in the DNA of the USA from its inception. 100 years later in the age of #BlackLivesMatter, there is a through line from then to now that we would do well to note. In this episode, we’ll learn about the stories of some who were murdered and some who survived the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.
