Hundreds of Black Americans



One hundred years ago, on May 31, 1921, an angry white mob beat and murdered at least 300 Black residents in a Tulsa, Okla., neighborhood known as “Black Wall Street.” The incident became known as the Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the worst acts of racial violence in U.S. history.

But two years prior to the carnage in Tulsa, another violent wave of hate, which came to be known as the “Red Summer” of 1919, took hold in the country.

Just a year after the end of World War I, the U.S. was coming out of a third wave of the Spanish flu epidemic. Many white Americans had returned home from Europe to find more than 500,000 Black Americans had migrated from the South to northern cities and had taken many factory, warehouse and low-level government jobs.

Racial tensions flared as whites began to blame Black migrants for spreading the flu and began to seize on rumors, amplified by local newspapers, that Black men were assaulting white women.

As America is changing more history is surfacing that can no longer be white washed
 
We have more than enough major problems right now, ancient history is not a worthwhile use of my time.

If you have a problem with what those people did then take it up with them in the After Life if you should meet them....leave me out of it.

Take the time because, for many, it has not changed. Racism is alive and well in the Trump party.
Many of those blacks fought in WW1. They defended America from fascism.
