Summary

In 1921, an act of terrorism would turn a once thriving Black community to ash and rubble overnight. It was an event so horrific that many historians now call it the single worst incident of racist violence in U.S. history. But what led up to that fateful day? And why were folks so intent to forget it ever happened? Today’s episode explores the importance of history and the ways violence can stretch — touching us all even a century later. Please be aware that today’s episode discusses anti-Black racist violence, murder, and sexual assault. A full list of sources, resources mentioned, and photos related to the case are available in the show notes of today's episode, https://truercrimepodcast.com/tulsa-race-massacre/ If you like Truer Crime, leave us a review!

0:34.4	First, we are more than halfway through season one and I really can't believe it.
0:40.3	This project has honestly been so incredibly rewarding. I'm so grateful for all of your support.
0:46.1	It's been, it's been amazing. Our plan for right now is to release the 10 episodes that we have
0:51.8	planned for season one before we take a longer break and
0:54.7	prepare for next season. I love putting out weekly episodes. Like, if it was up to me, I would put
0:59.5	out weekly episodes every week forever. But these babies take time to make, especially to make
1:06.8	out of quality, which we think is good, right? One that is well researched and where we do our
1:12.7	due diligence of reaching out to folks and things like that. So it's really hard for me and my
1:16.4	team to uphold that week-by-week schedule when we all have jobs outside of the podcast,
1:21.6	and they just take so much time to make. So we're going to take this small break after 10
