Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre

I've known about the Tulsa Race Riots for probably 30 years. I am fortunate to have attended an HBCU, that exposed this ugly chapter in American history. I found this film pretty informative and detailed what actually triggered the incident. It does a good job of putting context to the tensions forming in that area at the time. I would definitely recommend this film as a start to uncovering what America was built on and why we are where we are today.

This is so well done explained not only about the massacre but how Oklahoma got there, why so many African Americans moved there. I've watched many news stories, other documentaries but none went into such detail and explained things so well. Watch it!

I'm 46 and was born and raised in Oklahoma and I first heard about the Tulsa Race Massacre 3 or 4 years ago!!! This documentary was so powerful but highly educational as well. It really explained in detail what the Greenwood district was, how the massacre began, and the aftermath. It was moving and gut wrenching at times, but definitely a story that deserves to be told. Every Oklahoman should know our history no matter how ugly it is. But it's not just Oklahoma history, it's American history. Well done documentary!

America's disturbing truths will always be revealed. Great documentary. Embarrassing how some people think race is never an issue. History has always been written by victors. With justice being just a 7 letter word, finally the truth is out for the world to see. You must decide on your own!

There's so much history here that I never knew - its a complete eye opener. This film was well-written and interesting. So glad I had the opportunity to watch it!
