Over the course of sixteen hours, mobs of white men and women looted and burned to the ground a prosperous African American community, known today as Black Wall Street. More than one thousand homes and businesses were destroyed, and scores, possibly hundreds, of people lost their lives. Then, for nearly a half century, the story of the massacre was actively suppressed. Official records disappeared, history textbooks ignored the tragedy, and citizens were warned to keep silent. Now nearly one hundred years after that horrible day, historian Scott Ellsworth returns to his hometown to tell the untold story of how America's foremost hidden racial tragedy was finally brought to light, and the unlikely cast of characters that made it happen. Part true-crime saga, part archaeological puzzle, and part investigative journalism, The Ground Breaking weaves in and out of recent history, the distant past, and the modern day to tell a compelling story of a city-and a nation-struggling to come to terms with the dark corners of its past-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Tulsa Race Massacre, Tulsa, Okla., 1921. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Tulsa $z Tulsa $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Greenwood (Tulsa, Okla.) $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Greenwood (Tulsa, Okla.) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Tulsa (Okla.) $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Exhumation $z Tulsa $z Tulsa $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Forensic archaeology $z Tulsa $z Tulsa $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Tulsa $z Tulsa $x History $y 21st century. 941 $a 27 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010728.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022412.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100240.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014717.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064923.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20220721010201.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024558.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20220208011629.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20220128010315.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20220104012116.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010359.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102014742.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211002013240.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20210928010202.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20210918012344.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210807010508.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20210803015338.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20210729011918.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20210724010651.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713013911.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210702013018.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20210702012645.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210702012203.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210702010434.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210629010451.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210612010428.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210514010019.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A4257A00B47911EB9D5870B534ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
