- American Experience presents a virtual conversation commemorating the centennial of the Tulsa massacre, which took place May 31, 1921. The conversation is inspired, in part, by their documentary film Goin' Back to T-Town, now available to stream. The conversation will explore the history of Tulsa's Greenwood community, the evolution of the narrative around the 1921 Tulsa Massacre, and the importance of capturing first person accounts in telling the story of Greenwood's resilience and resurgence after the massacre.
Featured guests include:
Carmen Fields - Screenwriter, Goin' Back to T-Town and Tulsa native
Karlos Hill - Author of The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and Professor of African and African American Studies at the University of Oklahoma
The discussion will be moderated by Jessica Marie Johnson, Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University.

A great discussion! We must never forget we were able to overcome before the Civil Rights Movement!
I am glad that the panel brought up the issue of nomenclature change in referring to what happened in Greenwood and other Black towns in that era. To me, the labeling of such incidents as "riots" always seemed like an understatement.
There is a racists use of language and semantics to convey extreme repulsive behaviour, when the slightest negative actions of blacks and people of colour are being described. When evil/ injustice is being meeted out to blacks by whites ,language is used to justify the actions of the offenders and minimise their cruelty. The terms "Tulsa Riots"used by officials convey that blacks were the perpertrators of the destruction, where as "Tulsa Massacre" would convey that blacks were at the receiving end of whites cruelty. The time is here now blacks must be the narators of their own history.
Don't just remember it, make sure it doesn't happen again ❤️🖤💚
Sister Carmen Fields, thank you for FINALLY being the FIRST to mention Ogletree and Cochran!!! Also on board was super lawyer, Willie Gary. What a team. I have viewed many an hour of recent Tulsa related broadcasts without hearing a single mention of the triumvirate. We should not forget their work and that of their own teams of partners, clerks, etc.
I'm so blessed to have been able to grow in a vibrant and successful black community in East Austin, TX. We had all the same black owned businesses like Greenwood, black people were thriving, the children were thriving. East Austin stayed a 100% blk until around 1996-1997 when the white people started moving in under the revitalization the city put forth, which is gentrification, genocide of the black community. So I feel the love and understand how proud the people were of Greenwood Black Community, because if you can see you can be it. I learned some of the story of Greenwood, Elaine, Rosewood 30 yrs ago when we would have black education at our community black book stores, which in turn we taught our children the real black history. But as a child growing up I would hear my parents and neighbors talk about events that had happened in other black communities in America, but being young I didn't really understand what they were talking about. I love Black Wall Street, Greenwood, I pray the whole true story will be told to give the respect and dignity the those were murdered, those who survived and those who died before they were able to see justice. Much Black Love, RIP
What you said almost brought me to tears sad but true i didn't know anything about Greenwood until last urar
Excellent discussion
Thank you. This is a very important part of American history that many do not want to believe.
First we can't ask where do they want to start we must approach with a plan..... Know our worth not let them determine once again what that is.
Ok, so we did rebuild. Carry on.
Please don't forget Rosewood Florida who too was destroyed and mass murders occur
I saw the movie, called “Rosewood”, and was so surprised. My white-washed History in school never taught about any of these horrendous massacres.
another example of an unfinished job
@@leoross5777 wtf are you talking about?
@@learntospellpeople your mom
Eatonville, FL is a contemporary all-Black town and sounds much like Greenwood in its heyday.
The first all-black city to be incorporated in Florida, Eatonville was established in 1887 after being settled two decades after the Civil War ended by former slaves. Located six miles north of Orlando, the town was first named Maitland and got its start when former slave, Joseph C.Ma
Eatonville, Florida, is the oldest black-incorporated municipality in the United States. Incorporated in 1887, it is the first town successfully established by African American freedmen.

Great show thank you so much from 🇬🇧
YESHUA HAS JUDGED!!!
O MY PEOPLE HOLD ON THY KING COMETH SPEEDILY!!!
This Lady is beautiful and smart too. Excellent information.
I'm affected by the massacre and I didn't live in Tulsa and I'm affected by all the other heinous atrocities dealt us in Amerikkka we blacks all have a form of PTSD
Why would you want a business loan where you would be paying back or reparations program that they would be controlling. Give them their reparations. Period
State Representative....”Where do you want to start?”
How about... “This is what we deserve!”
They called it "Little Africa" first, then "Negro Wall Street" didn't come until later
i was not even thought of .but my heart go out to all the family
A 2001 state commission examination of events was able to confirm 39 dead, 26 Black and 13 White, based on contemporary autopsy reports, death certificates and other records.[18]
Are you citing the 2001 report by the state commission? Why don't you also quote what the commission recommended?
Inaccurate, False, Lies!!!!!
@@xandervk2371 I'd be interested in hearing what they recommended. My research came up with the same numbers. The estimated death toll from different sources are very inconsistent. I hate to say it, but Tulsa was a race war, not a race massacre. A black mob vs a white mob. They destroyed their town after they came into theirs and killed between 10 and 13 people. The same scenario is still happening. Most riots are set off when during an arrest a black man is injured or killed. Even when they fight or run, whether guilty or innocent its always the catalist. So I ask, was anything learned from Tulsa?
Conveniently looking for mass graves in a cemetery.
This occurred. Conveniently. No. If anyone is was buried in a mass grave that is injustice. I do not believe in reparations but I do believe in new opportunities for all. It’s there go get it. The USA is open for business to black and white. On that note blacks destroyed many neighborhoods just last year burning them to the ground. Hard working people both black and white had their businesses destroyed and looted.
Seen the documentary on this , very deep. America is a piece of shit man. So sad how they killed them all and no one went to jail man. Like the gentleman in the barber shop said I love his quote. "I choose not to feel uncomfortable, reality has made me uncomfortable" straight facts
My aunt and great aunt often went to black church services. They told me they had to sit in the back. I grew up in north Tulsa, in the GAP Band hood. Tulsa was not that racist in the 60s. Greenwood, Archer and Pine Street = GAP Band.
Has anyone located any bodies yet?
Apparently last year ppl discovered unmarked graves in Tulsa that might have been related to the massacre
@@kv8441 More than one.
You have to know that those white people were on the reservations. All of NE Oklahoma is still Indian reservations to this day and Greenwood is inside Cherokee Nation. They thought the Dawes Act and breaking the Rez into allotments disestablished the reservations but SCOTUS said that is not so. They still exist and Oklahoma is having a fit for that reason. The land Cherokee Freedmen received from the tribe as reparations made a lot of these riches possible. Land could be sold, used as collateral, leased out, etc. That played a big part in Greenwood becoming even more successful after the Massacre. That’s when it became known as Black Wall Street. Booker T. Washington had said it was “Like a Negro Wall Street” during a meeting with Freedmen in Boley, Oklahoma before the massacre.
Reparation Now
I hope the truth is told it has been covered up for so long I heard about it on utube I went to Google looked it up and read every thing about it I lived in Tulsa for 15 years I am from Oklahoma last year I found out about it yes this was never told now it's time the truth should be told about what and how it all started
RALEIGH NC 919
No fucking business loans, make it grants because it's money owed to the people
I am so proud of my people for what we been through in this country and still give so much to a country that treat us bad.That is why I can't see myself dating or even marrying somebody WHITE!! When I see a white people I can't help but see their ancestors staring back at me. I deal with white people but I don't get all chummy chummy with them either.
Greenwood didn't just thrive in spite of segregation. It thrived *because of* segregation. Blacks couldn't safely spend money in the black community, but whites could hire blacks, and they could shop in the black area if they wanted to. This meant that money was slowly being siphoned _into_ the black community.
It thrived because the Freedmen were given land from the Five Civilized Tribes and Greenwood sits inside the Cherokee Reservation still today.
Man...I sure heard the story wrong.. I thought Black Wall Street were the black folks that were descendants of the slaves that were from the Indian reservations from the terrible tragedy of the Walk of Tears, that settled in Oklahoma. When the Blacks did not want to share the monies with the neighboring reservations...The Indian tribes int the area hired these white folks to burn down the neighborhood which was actually on Indian Reservation.. In order to remove them from the Indian reservation....It looks like I heard the story wrong.
Boley, Oklahoma was founded by ex-slaves from the Creek Nation. It is still there. That is probably what you are thinking of. Boley is the largest of the dozens of all-black settlements made in Oklahoma. I have never heard anything about any large arson fire there, though.
If something like this happens again or whatever is going to take place because we won't take their injections where would we who has nothing go I know there's black ppl like me will probably have no place to go I am a product of a share copper up from Arkansas
The same thing happen in Indonesia 1998 Mei. when Financial crisis. blaming minority for economy downfall.
Why is the documentary "Death and the Civil War" no longer available?
"ISLAMISM TO US ALL, JUST THINK THAT THERE WERE "ALLODIAL-TITLES" THAT WERE "PAID" FOR WITH ARTICLE 1, SECTION 10...REALMONEY", THE "HEIRS" DROIT-DROIT MUST BE RESTITUTED A.S.A.P.!"(6.10.2021...)
As a Canadian of German ancestry, I cannot shake the parallels of Nazi Germany and the Jews. Here, we have WHITE AMERICANS doing what Hitlers regime did but on a slightly smaller scale. I know we have racists in Canada but I will hope it is not like America. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hitler regime does it still exist in 2021 white american treatment to black Americans exist to date 2021
Hitler modeled the concentration camps after what white america did to my people here in the 1800s, Indian reservations
and also reparations,
how about remembering the native americans massacers?
How about we ALSO remember the native American massacres....we shouldn't overlook either....
Poor poor black people. Lose the stigma!
As I have reflected on this story. It has remained me ofveverything I have gone through in my life. I love my country I just don't understand why my country does not love me. So many road blocks. I looked at my brith certificate thebothet day it has a space that asl race. It says colored. It all has come rushing back. Every painful experience. But some how by the grace of Gpd I made it. But know I'm not were I could have been.
