Remembering our history

Monday will mark the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre that left more than 300 Black Americans dead, more than 10,000 members of that community homeless, and crippled Black Wall Street and this thriving economic center.  The extent to the lasting damage this mob of white supremaci…
