330 .. $a "Examines the events and players contributing to, participating in, and responding
to Tulsa's 1921 race riot and massacre and the social, political and historical context
in which it occurred" ; "In 1921 Tulsa's Greenwood District, known then as the nation's
"Black Wall Street," was one of the most prosperous African American communities in
the United States. But on May 31 of that year, a white mob, inflamed by rumors that
a young black man had attempted to rape a white teenage girl, invaded Greenwood. By
the end of the following day, thousands of homes and businesses lay in ashes, and
perhaps as many as three hundred people were dead. Tulsa, 1921 shines new light into
the shadows that have long been cast over this extraordinary instance of racial violence.
With the clarity and descriptive power of a veteran journalist, author Randy Krehbiel
digs deep into the events and their aftermath and investigates decades-old questions
about the local culture at the root of what one writer has called a white-led pogrom:
How did a feud between the editors of Oklahoma's black-owned newspapers influence
events? Why were law enforcement officials in Tulsa under investigation before the
"riot" even began? Krehbiel analyzes local newspaper accounts in an unprecedented
effort to gain insight into the minds of contemporary Tulsans. In the process he considers
how the Tulsa World, the Tulsa Tribune, and other publications contributed to the
circumstances that led to the disaster and helped solidify enduring white justifications
for it. Some historians have dismissed local newspapers as too biased to be of value
for an honest account, but by contextualizing their reports, Krehbiel renders Tulsa's
papers an invaluable resource, highlighting the influence of news media on our actions
in the present and our memories of the past. The Tulsa Massacre was a result of racial
animosity and mistrust within a culture of political and economic corruption. In its
wake, black Tulsans were denied redress and even the right to rebuild on their own
property, yet they ultimately prevailed and even prospered despite systemic racism
and the rise during the 1920s of the second Ku Klux Klan. As Krehbiel considers the
context and consequences of the violence and devastation, he asks, Has the city--indeed,
the nation--exorcised the prejudices that led to this tragedy?"
