Tulsa Race Riot
from Outlaws & Gunslingers · host Bang Dang Network
The Tulsa Race Riot also known as the Black Wall Street Massacre started on May 30th, 1921 when 19 year old Dick Rowland was accused of assaulting a 17 year old white girl named Sarah Page in Tulsa, Oklahoma.. After he was arrested, a massive crowd showed up at the courthouse with talks of him being lynched. Just then, an elderly white man tried to disarm a black man carrying a pistol. Shots rang out and all hell broke loose. The "black wall street" neighborhood of Greenwood was burned and many residents killed. The incident was pretty much suppressed by the city of Tulsa and the state until 1996 when an official commission was created to study the massacre and bring to light the atrocities that occured.
