1 year agoGiven the intentions of Ryan Walters for Oklahoma schools, this might be as good of a place as any to mention the Greenwood Rising museum, opened in Tulsa in 2021 for the 100th anniversary of the massacre. It’s an absolutely fantastic place.
From talking with people who went through the OK public school system, this history hasn’t really been given much attention even prior to the latest shenanigans. It boggles the mind to think that thousands of black residents of Tulsa were rounded up and interned around town, and the incident wasn’t even included in the state curriculum for 80 years.
This isn’t true. Reuters is owned by a Canadian company, and AP is independent.
