Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten

Although rarely mentioned in textbooks, there is no question that the Tulsa Race Massacre was one of the most horrific incidents of racial violence in American history. As the country continues to reflect on the shocking murders and arson that took place from May 31st to June 1st 1921, and considers more recent incidents of social injustice like the killing of George Floyd in May 2020, a new documentary Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten, directed by Jonathan Silvers, examines this deadly assault on humanity on the 100th anniversary of the crime.
