Memorial Day Tulsa, Oklahoma
It was Tuesday, May 31, 1921, and the worst race riot in U.S.
history was underway. It is an event that hardly anyone
commemorates on Memorial Day weekend, because its existence has
been all but erased.
More than 1,000 homes and businesses were destroyed in less than a
week, and at least 300 people were killed, and then buried,
possibly in unmarked mass graves, according to a 2001 report on the
incident by an Oklahoma state commission.
