Tulsa Race Riot of 1921

History Channel Description

The Tulsa race massacre (also called the Tulsa race riot, the Greenwood  Massacre, or the Black Wall Street Massacre) of 1921 took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when mobs of white residents attacked black residents and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma.


After shots were fired and chaos broke out, the outnumbered group of black men retreated to Greenwood.

Over  the next several hours, groups of white Tulsans—some of whom were  deputized and given weapons by city officials—committed numerous acts of  violence against black people, including shooting an unarmed man in a  movie theater.


The false belief that a large-scale insurrection  among black Tulsans was underway, including reinforcements from nearby  towns and cities with large African-American populations, fueled the  growing hysteria.


As dawn broke on June 1, thousands of white citizens poured into the  Greenwood District, looting and burning homes and businesses over an  area of 35 city blocks. Firefighters who arrived to help put out fires  later testified that rioters had threatened them with guns and forced  them to leave.


In the hours after the Tulsa Race Massacre, all charges against Dick  Rowland were dropped. The police concluded that Rowland had most likely  stumbled into Page, or stepped on her foot. Kept safely under guard in  the jail during the riot, he left Tulsa the next morning and reportedly  never returned.


The “official” tally of deaths in the massacre was  36 people killed, including 10 white people. Even by that  estimate—which historians now consider much too low—the Tulsa Race  Massacre stood as one of the deadliest riots in U.S. history, behind  only the New York Draft Riots of 1863, 

which killed at least 119 people.


For decades, there were no public ceremonies, memorials for the dead or  any efforts to commemorate the events of May 31-June 1, 1921. Instead,  there was a deliberate effort to cover them up.
