Hidden Histories: The Tulsa Race Massacre and the Fight for America’s Past
Tuesday, November, 19, 2024
7:30 PM
Location: Kresge, VAC
The 1921 Tulsa race massacre was the worst single incident of racial violence in American history—a tragedy that left scores if not hundreds dead and witnessed the total destruction of a vibrant African American district later known as Black Wall Street. But for more than fifty years, the story of the massacre was actively suppressed and written out of history books. Award-winning historian and native Tulsan Scott Ellsworth will reveal how the story of the massacre finally came to light.
