[trump voice] They’re calling it prison abolition, folks, complex—prison industrial complex, they’re calling it. Very disgusting, very sad [crowd boos] I’m the first person to say, perhaps that none of us are free until all of us are free, and you’ll be hearing it more and more

On this day, 31 May 1921, one of the worst single incidents of racial violence in US history took place: the Tulsa massacre, which left 300 dead after a false allegation of a Black man attacking a white woman.The Tulsa Tribune newspaper included a front-page article noscriptd “Nab Negro for Attacking Girl in Elevator” and a back-page editorial noscriptd “To Lynch Negro Tonight.”Local whites were inflamed, and they attacked the Black community of Greenwood, at the time the most prosperous African American community in the US, commonly known as the Black Wall Street. The Black Dispatch newspaper reported:“Hundreds of Black men, women and children are scattered through the bottoms of Verdi Gras river and the Arkansas, naked, barefooted, women with children in their arms and giving birth to children, are scattered everywhere as they hurry farther from their burning homes and the holocause of bullets of the white assassins who rushed upon their defenceless homes in the we hours of this morning, spreading fire and bullets everywhere."Back in the charred, smoking ruins of what was once the finest business district that progressive Negroes had in the United States, [4] million dollars worth [over $70 million in 2024] of homes and property, arson reigns supreme, punctured here and there by the still smoking carcasses of men, women and children."Mobs were backed up by private planes that reportedly dropped incendiary devices and fired on Black residents. Hundreds were killed and the entire thirty-five-block area was razed to the ground, leaving up to ten thousand people homeless.After the massacre, city authorities implemented a fire ordinance which barred reconstruction, and forced Black residents into a new district 35 blocks away.At the time of writing (April 2024) there are still a few survivors awaiting justice and reparations.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10389/tulsa-racist-massacre To access this hyperlink, click our link in bio then click this photo
