"Running The Negro Out Of Tulsa ....."


          

That was the title of postcards created from the images of the destruction of Black Wall Street.

My dad sent me this article today: http://sfbayview.com/2011/02/what-happened-to-black-wall-street-on-june-1-1921

He said he had never heard of Black Wall Street which made me realize their are a lot of people who have not heard of this deliberate destruction of a thriving black community.

I found the documentary on youtube that I saw 10+ years ago that opened my eyes to the story. My afternoon is now being spent re-watching it.

(note: the commentary starts around the 6 minute mark of the first video in the playlist)

I really wish they would make a big budget movie about this.


the key to happiness is not being rich;
it's doing something arduous and
creating something of value and then
being able to reflect on the fruits of your labor
