It has been 99 years ago to the day since the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, which brought about the destruction of Black Wall Street, the incident remains in a class of its own.
“The largest massacre of Americans upon Americans and one of the few if not only stories in history where incendiary bombs were dropped on American citizens by other American citizens,” said Oklahoma State Sen. Kevin Matthews, who represents District 11, which includes Tulsa and Osage counties.
Between May 31st and June 1st of that year, what the Oklahoma Historical Society calls quote, "the single worst incident of racial violence in American history," claimed the lives of hundreds of people - mostly black- and left an entire community in Tulsa, Oklahoma completely decimated. Some witnesses and survivors even reported being the targets of bombs.
