#PeoplesHistory | Today we remember the victims of the Tulsa Massacre of 1921. On this day, over 100 years ago, thousands of white supremacists, including authorities, violently attacked the prosperous Black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The Tulsa massacre lasted around 12 hours and is considered one of the most destructive and deadliest massacres in the history of the US. According to reports, at least 300 people were killed, the Greenwood business center was destroyed, and around 1,000 Black residencies were burnt to ashes.
