I have never heard about this historical event. This should in all history books. I believe we have one Creator. We all are one blood. We are brothers and sisters in Jesus. Please Father God, forgive me for not asking questions. Forgive me for not speaking up.
It never ceases to amaze me the capacity of evil that some people hold inside their hearts while they claim to be good people. I can't remember ever hearing about this and I grew up about three hours away from Tulsa. And I keep seeing how conservative groups are trying to control what history is being taught in schools. I am terrified that the conservative crazies are going to get control of this country. We cannot let that happen or we could see atrocities such as this again. RIP Angels. You will not be forgotten! I hope for a world where we can all exist in peace, love, and acceptance.✌🏻💙🌍
Horrible!!! Why havnt ppl heard about this before? It is a massacre and turned into a war zone! Ppl have to stop hating each other and attacking innocent ppl!
It was "talked" about but never officially taught in school. If any teacher formally educated the history of Greenwood ( to their class) back in the 1970s-1980s, they would have been censored. It didn't matter if they [educators] were Black, Indigenous American, White, Latin, Jewish, or Asian. It was hardly ever talked about openly in Black churches, but it was always whispered.
To add to the documentary, there must be an understanding beyond the glory of Greenwood and the international prosperity of North Tulsa. When oil was discovered within the Native Lands [reservations] in the late eighteen and early nineteen hundreds, there was an influx (invasion really) of oil speculators. At this time, there were still individuals that actually lived through or were born right after the US Civil War. Several Indian Nations participated in that bloody but righteous war. The majority of the Five Civilized Tribes practiced chattel slavery of African peoples. Some more so than others. Many of these enslaved individuals had native ancestry or none at all. Regardless, their cultural identity (for the most part) was Native American-very, different than their brethren who suffered from bondage elsewhere. That being said, almost all of the Nations signed a 'new' treaty after the war. It did not matter whether they fought for the CSA or the Union. It did not matter if they were pro-slavery or pro-abolition; the US government penalized them equally. The many African members within the tribes were granted full citizen rights under the treaty with the US and under their own Native/Tribal constitutions. Remember, all Native American tribes are really Nations, and each nation is a country unto itself. Flash followed about forty to fifty years, "OIL BE IN THEM THERE HILLS!" As mentioned, when crude was discovered under the many plots of land within the tribal boundaries, payouts and or leases were made to its members. Many of these business ventures were one-sided, and most were illegal by both US and Tribal laws. Some within the nations sold their land or reaped the proceeds from leasing and began investing in real estate. The majority of these investments were in the many Black Townships within Oklahoma. This was economic: the land was much cheaper in "black" communities than in "white" neighborhoods. Another reason was many of the investors felt a kinship with African Americans or had familial ties to the inhabitants. But the chief reason is relatively simple, racism. Even though Oklahoma was an "Indian" state, there was still widespread racism against Native Americans, even after the turn of the century, which has "believe it or not" continued to this day in many corners of government. Because of this, the Native investors didn't have the same roadblocks put in front of them in Black Oklahoma communities, compared to white ones. Generally speaking, black communities were the only places where both peoples could be treated fairly, e.g. economically and socially. After the massacre, those survivors who retained their tribal citizenship fled to familiar grounds and suppressed their African histories, not out of disrespect but out of survival.
