Summary

The boys talk about the disturbing incident that destroyed "The Black Wall Street" killing 300 African Americans and has largely been lost to history! Mobs of white people of Tulsa Oklahoma took the streets on May 31st and June 1st 1921 after a miscommunication of a white girl was assaulted by a black boy. The white mob attacked black residents and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma resulting in the The Tulsa Race Massacre. It was SO BRUTAL but we question why this isn't common knowledge today?

Here at the History Hyenas we have always supported Black Lives and encourage you to take time to educate yourself, support black organizations & businesses and become involved in the on going movement. #BLM
