What sucks is in all my history classes I never heard of it. It took me watching a Comic Book show on HBO to learn about it.
That's so wrong.
That's so wrong.

and why do our kids not learn about the massacre in school? My son - a college grad, cum laude - learned about it watching The Watchmen miniseries on cable. And truth be told, The Watchmen did a pretty great job telling that story.

May she rest in peace ❤️ I never learned about this part of our history (47 years old). But my 8th grade students do! When you know better; do better 💙

She never gave up! The Oklahoma court slammed the door on her, she kept her head up pressing forward. Viola F. Fletcher she stood tall seeking punitive damages.

I celebrate the life of Viola Ford Fletcher, who passed away today at the age of 111. A survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, she shared her story in Don’t Let Them Bury My Story. I bought a first edition of her book when it was published. Rest in Power Mrs. Viola Ford Fletcher.

I grew up in Oklahoma, where I was required to take a full year of Oklahoma History in 8th grade. I did not hear of the Tulsa Massacre until my last year of college in 1994. Even then it was called the Tulsa Race Riot.🤬

You should take my course! We talk reparations specific to climate justice and what that might look like too. I will say, when students learn the truth in high school, college they get FIRED UP and are ready to use that knowledge to take action, create a just world. It gives me so much HOPE!

There’s too many other blatant injustices that also must be brought to light and I do believe reparations need to be made by grabbing back 90% of what these criminal billionaires have sucked out of America while paying fuckall! It’s truly the biggest scam in Amer history; the theft of trillions!

And if it wasn’t erased it’s whitewashed! I teach a climate justice course that starts with a basic question: who lives where and why? You cant understand environmental/climate injustice today w/o knowing how federal laws forcibly removed Native ppl, Black Americans were banned from owning houses

True, but I’m embarrassed to say I studied US history in more depth & feel the atrocities on Blk communities specifically were largely omitted, as were Native Americans. But the history I’m speaking of is 1870-1960,almost 100 yrs is largely ignored. We skip from Civil war to Civil rights! Seriously
