Before May 31, 1921, the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was
a thriving neighbourhood of 10,000 Black residents. There, Black
families found success and community. They ran their own
businesses, including barbershops, clothing stores, jewellers,
restaurants, movie theatres, and more. There also were Black
doctors, dentists, and lawyers to serve the neighbourhood. Then, in
one weekend, all of this was lost. A racist mob tore through the
streets, burning everything to the ground and killing scores of
innocent residents. Learn about what led to one of the worst
moments of racial violence in America's history in this nonfiction
book for young readers. Series Overview: A natural expansion of the
exceptional Who Was? series, What Was? focuses on compelling
historical events, great battles, protests, and discoveries.
