During the Tulsa Race Massacre (also known as the Tulsa Race Riot), which occurred over 18 hours on May 31-June 1, 1921, a white mob attacked residents, homes and businesses in the predominantly Black Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The event remains one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history, and one of the least-known: News reports were largely squelched, despite the fact that hundreds of people were killed and thousands left homeless.

Black Wall Street

In much of the country, the years following World War I saw a spike in racial tensions, including the resurgence of the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan, numerous lynchings and other acts of racially motivated violence, as well as efforts by African Americans to prevent such attacks on their communities.

By 1921, fueled by oil money, Tulsa was a growing, prosperous city with a population of more than 100,000 people. But crime rates were high, and vigilante justice of all kinds wasn’t uncommon.

Tulsa was also a highly segregated city: Most of the city’s 10,000 Black residents lived in a neighborhood called Greenwood, which included a thriving business district sometimes referred to as the Black Wall Street

Answer:

ExplanatioIt was a disease that would turn the world upside down, and it spread faster than it could be understood.

The “Black Death” that raged through the world during the Middle Ages was the most devastating infectious

disease recorded in human history. By the time the Plague had finally loosened its death grip, it had claimed

the lives of nearly half of the world’s population in less than five years. This special presentation, The Plague,

offers two compelling perspectives on the ravages of this disease. Journals and personal narratives from the

14th century take viewers inside the world of the disease as those who lived through it attempted to make

sense of its origins and significance amidst the chaos of its terror. These voices of perplexed horror and fear

are answered by contemporary historians and scientists who help us understand the sources of the Plague

and assess the long-term effects of this chilling pandemic.

This two-hour documentary traces the spread of this disease by describing both the methods of transmission,

and the path of infection as those who traversed trade routes unknowingly carried it throughout the world.

As the uncontrollable infections spiraled throughout

Europe, hysteria ensued. Those looking to place blame

laid responsibility at the door of God, at Jews, and at one

another, without any true explanation to comfort them.

The Plague chronicles the staggering effects of this

disease on European society, analyzing the ways that

these unexpected events in the 1340s altered the world

forever. Insights are drawn from first-person accounts

from Pope Clement VI, Princess Joan of England, Agimet,

a Jewish servant to a wealthy Swiss nobleman, and French

physician Guy de Chauliac. Educators and their students

will be riveted by these dramatic testimonies, and the

conclusions this program draws about the transformations

which followed in the wake of this cataclysmic disease.n:
