this is the real history.
tell me why you don't know about it?
The Date Was June 1, 1921, "BLACK WALL
STREET"
The name fittingly given to one of the most
affluent All-BLACK Communities in America,
was bombed from the air and Burned to the
ground by mobs of envious Whites. In a
period spanning fewer than 12 hours, a once
thriving Black Business District in northern
Tulsa lay smoldering -- a model Community
destroyed and a major African-American
economic movement resoundingly defused.
The Night's Carnage left some 3,000 African
Americans Dead and over 600 Successful
Businesses Lost. Among these were 21 Churches,
21 Restaurants, 30 Grocery Stores and 2 Movie Theaters, plus A Hospital, A Bank, a Post Office, Libraries, Schools, Law Offices, a half dozen
Private Airplanes and even A Bus System.
As could have been expected, the impetus
behind it all was the infamous Ku Klux Klan,
working in consort with Ranking City Officials
and many other Sympathizers.
