A recent Washington Post article was entitled “Tulsa isn’t the only race massacre you were never taught in school. Here are others.” The number of race massacres and hate crimes that occurred in the late 19th century and early 20th century boggle the mind. To add insult to injury, these sinister acts were covered up, hidden, and denied for decades. When you understand what really happened, the dysfunction that vexes us today makes more sense. A through line emerges. In this episode we take a look at some of this painful history in order to learn from it and hopefully forge a better future because of it.
