With images from the National Archives and a report from the U.S. Department of Justice, this work tells the story of the horrific Tulsa Massacre in May 1921, in a part of Tulsa, Oklahoma, known as "Black Wall Street." This was a story that was suppressed at all levels of government to protect the murderers. Survivors, their descendants, and the descendants of the thousands who were viciously massacred have kept this story alive for over one hundred years. It is one hundred years too late for justice, but hopefully, we can learn something about ourselves and our fellow Americans that will ensure we don't visit such depravity upon each other.

This edition has been thoughtfully designed for a clean, readable layout and includes 21 powerful images from the Library of Congress that bring the events and their aftermath into sharp focus. A meaningful presentation of a tragic chapter in American history.
