A white woman and a black man are alone in an elevator. Suddenly, the woman screams, the man runs out, and the chase to capture and lynch him begins. When Joe, a young man trying to be the next Houdini, is accused of rape, he must perform his greatest escape by eluding a bloodthirsty lynch mob. And Mary, the motherless daughter of a farmer who tries to marry her off to the farmhand who viciously raped her, must find the courage to help exonerate the man she had accused with her panicked cry. Based on true events, Magic City is a portrait of an era, climaxing in the heroic but doomed stand that pitted the National Guard against a small band of black men determined to defend the town they had built into the "Negro Wall Street." 500 $a "With a new author's note on the 100th anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre."--Back cover. 650 0 $a African American men $z Tulsa $z Tulsa $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Tulsa (Okla.) $x Race relations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Tulsa (Okla.) $x History $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Riots $z Tulsa $z Tulsa $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210507010036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7BCE8676AEF911EB87B7F7C926ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
