Book
Unspeakable : the Tulsa Race Massacre / Carole Boston Weatherford ; Floyd Cooper, illustrator.
The 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma, race massacre was one of the worst incidents of racial violence in our nation's history. On May 31 and June 1 an armed mob looted homes and businesses as Black families fled. The police did nothing to protect Greenwood, and as many as three hundred African Americans were killed, most buried in unmarked graves. No official investigation occurred until seventy-five years later. The author helps young readers understand the events of this incident.
