@@marseillesvieux2987 I am undecided on the issue of reparations for descendants of slavery. I'm just going to leave that alone for now. However, the descendants of those who are massacred in Tulsa were robbed of the wealth of their successful ancestors, and they are only one or two generations removed from that wealth. Consider that this area of Tulsa was considered Black Wall Street and the businesses and homes and land were stolen from them when white people just got angry that blacks were successful, and killed them and burned city blocks to the ground. I do believe that they should be compensated for that act of domestic terrorism, much like the families of the victims of 9/11 were.

As a black business owner in Texas who's father was a business owner, I've know about Black Wall Street my entire life. I'm very proud of the fact that my father instilled in me at an early age to judge people as individuals, not as a race. He would always say "You never know where your blessings will come from, so remain approachable. Growing up I wasn't allowed to make racial slurs. When I walk into a room, I hold my head high because even though I'm not rich or well off I pride myself as a Business Owner and this mind set has kept me out of a lot of trouble. Business is not always about cash flow, sometimes it involves trade and building life long friendships among all people. The burning of Black Wall Street has destroyed and set-back 6 generations of racial healing and bonding among all Americans. This is just a tiny scratch on the surface.

I only found out more when I started asking around in my black community, and by looking at the pictures on the wall at Westview Clinic, a black owned clinic that blew up some of the pictures that survived and framed them. They are still there till this day and I would always study them when I went up there. That is how buried this story was from the world.

I disagree. What’s the difference in ‘these open wounds than any other open wounds caused by the systemic racism Black people has had to endure. It’s really funky that so many people in this country has never heard of some of these atrocities that was visited on Black “AMERICANS’. Why not discuss and analyze and uncover the ugliness that racism and the hatred that those people had endured during that massacre was horrible, terrifying, and shameful. If we choose to not visit and understand the past, we would and could have it happen again. As it is, not much has changed in 100 years. All it took was to have a man like Donald Trump in the White House who led his supporters to think it was okay to be racist and he celebrated the same ugly hate that has been a part of this country from day one, its not gone away. These days racism and bigotry is out in the open and not hidden behind common decency as some people would like to believe.. i believe We need to pull the covers off these types of horrors for reasons no less than other crimes against humanity; such as what happened with Jewish people during the holocaust, which no one has ever thought that horrific atrocity sh not be remembered, discussed and taught to upcoming generations so no one could about. We should not forget about what happened to those people were murdered like animals all because of their race. Those white people decided that they were living the Dream too well so they snuffed them out for that reason and we should forget about it?

Ambria Ashley how can you live in a country, call it the "greatest" and not know it's full history ?

[@josweetlove1537]

@UCv4sVvf21zqktD-i0dzG2VQ that's the Asians problem not black people's problem. Whatever wrongs were done to them if they want to sit quietly and accept it....has nothing to do with black people. There were wrongs done to them and they accepted monetary compensation. Black people NEVER. Please go somewhere with this ridiculous comment.

Me, a victim of police brutality & never saw justice cause I was just a child 18, 19 maybe at the time. Alternative school days was when i was maybe 13, 14 years old.

[@demisedemise]

I can't really speak for every child that went to that school, but if they sent me to that school for something I didn't do, then it's a high probability that others were sent to the school for the same reason (something they didn't do).

I think it was covered up, but I think the plane(s?) was privately owned. I suspect Brady was in the Klan, and the plane was owned by a fellow Klansman, and many of the citizens “deputized” were Klansmen. When was the big Washington Klan march in robes? Around the same time. When was the great argument over training Black soldiers for combat in WW I? Why was there no official body count? Why didn’t the prosperous businessmen have insurance? What was done with the claims? There is much to uncover.

I didn’t learn of this in school in OK during the 70’s. I only found out about it years later during my years of genealogy research. I asked my parents and only my father told me the whole tragic story.

What pisses me off is the fact that this was omitted from the education system in California, where I was born and raised. Not one piece of this information was provided - it's sickening. By the way, I was born in 1963. It's unbelievable that we never heard of this.

I'm from NYC & we too were not taught in school about the history in Tulsa, I was born in 73 and never heard it in school at all & it's very sad, frustrating to know that this was never taught in any school in the United States....if this happened in another country they would be speaking about it in the history books here in the states but since it was committed by white folks towards blacks they tried to erase it....never again!!!

WE know about it, THEY refuse to talk about it. They might not write about our history or acknowledge it but we pass it down by word of mouth because we need to know about it. We have to keep the convo going with our elders and our children in the same breath.

[@bridgettjohnson7437]

Wonderful your family is passing down Black History so many don't. It's an ugly painful reality that needs to be told and NOT ALLOWED to be swept under the rug, kept quiet or erased from history. It is time to tell ALL...it is time to STOP fearing what the OPPRESSOR (S) think or have to try to keep COVRED FROM US and the world to know. I deeply admire the the STRENGTH and COURAGE Emmit Tills mother had to show the world what was done to her son at the hands of white suppremist. To this day justice has NEVER been served for the hate filled murder of Emmit Till. The DECIEVER who is responsible is still alive and NO charges of making a FALSE report has EVER been brought against her.

[@katrinatruitt3455]

YES! Our family's version of America, the so called land of the free, is VERY different from the sanitized version taught in schools and spread by the media. My grandparents had stories that would make the hair stand up on your neck, my grandmother's best friend actually participated in the Montgomery bus boycott. We created our own happiness in a nation that was and still is hostile to us. That flag doesn't mean to us what it means to others. You see the massive effort to quash the 1619 project? They don't want history from our point of view...only theirs matter
