Episode #10 The 1921 Tulsa Riot: The Survivors Speak Out

Tulsa Race Riot Survivors Speak Out

It took many years, but eventually a few of the survivors of the Tulsa 1921 Race Riot began to join forces and speak out. Joining together, I believe, gave them the courage to make their voices heard so the truth could, at long last, be exposed.

Unfortunately, this speaking out happened in the years following my own research for the Tulsa Series books. How I would have loved to have interviewed a few of them.

These men and women, for the most part, were mere children as they witnessed their homes and the entire Greenwood District of Tulsa being destroyed. However, their memories are vivid and terrifying.

Check out this video. It’s just one example.

In 2008, a documentary entitled Before They Die was produced and released. More about that in a subsequent post. Stay tuned.
