Episode Originally Published: March 20th 2020 An accidental deep dive episode, kind of... More of a 'rabbit-hole' episode. In the spring of 2020, a lot was going on in the world. But behind closed doors at twitter, something was brewing, and a poten No Assorted Goods Classic #2: Tulsa (Part 2) 2 2 Assorted Goods Classic #2: Tulsa (Part 2) full AssortedGoods.podbean.com/996fd282-a33f-5e03-8e0f-4bff07b6daf0 https://share.transistor.fm/s/46697c06 Episode Originally Published February 18th 2020.

In part 2 of our look at the Tulsa Massacre of 1921, the story of the massacre itself, how it began, and what happened in the days and weeks following. What became of Greenwood and its residents?

The lies, the corruption and injustice, the struggle to rebuild, and the impossible job trying to take account of it all. Almost a century later, what does it all mean? What is Greenwood today? And what patterns can we see from Tulsa, through the decades, and into today?

Over 100 years ago, 35 blocks of an all-black neighborhood in a major American city was burned to the ground. But for all the years since, the Tulsa Massacre of 1921 has been mostly forgotten. How did the worst incident of racial violence in American history get ignored? How did it even happen to begin with?

 

In part 1, a look at the story of the city of Tulsa, the state of Oklahoma, and the mixture of events that led to the riot in 1921. Lies, racism, corrupt police, the power of media, and how the past is never easily forgotten.
