Tulsa's race riots were a large-scale racial conflict between May 31 and June 1, 1921, in which white American population groups attacked the Afro-American community in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
One of its main focuses was the Greenwood district, the most prosperous African-American community in the United States of America, which was completely destroyed.
Contextual background includes the Red Summer of 1919 in the USA, which was characterized by repeated racial conflicts. As an immediate background, on the afternoon of May 30, a man of color, D. Rowland, was reported to the police, accused of attacking a white woman. On the morning of the next day, May 31, D. Rowland was arrested. The repercussion of the case and the existence of previous tensions led to the concentration of black and white armed groups around the place where Rowland was detained, very close to the Greenwood district, throughout the afternoon of the same day and fear about a possible lynching attempt.
Religion played an important role in Puritan life. They felt that they were chosen by God for a special purpose and that they must live every moment in a God-fearing manner. Every man, woman, and child was expected to attend the meeting on the Sabbath without question. Puritans were required to read the Bible which showed their religious discipline. If they didn't read the Bible, it was thought that they were worshiping the devil.
Preparatons for the Sabbath began the say before. All of the good had to be cook and clothes ready. No labor, not even sewing, could be done on the Sabbath. The Sabbath began at sundown the night before, and the evening was spent in prayer and Bible study.
The church was usually a small bare building. Upon entering people would take their appropriate places. The men sat on one side, the women sat on the other, and the boys did not sit with their parents, but sat together in a designated pew where they were expected to sit in complete silence. The deacons sat in the front row just below the pulpit because everyone agreed the first pew was the one of highest dignity. The servants and slaves crowded near the door and rushed to a loft or balcony.
The service began with a prayer given by the minister that usually lasted around an hour. Puritans did not like music in their services. They also felt that music and celebrating were not appropriate in the church meeting house. It was many years before any musical instruments were allowed in the church.
After the prayer, the minister would contiue with an emotional sermon. The minister's sermon would last for two, three, even four hours at a time without restroom breaks or intermissions. The Puritans listened intently to the terrible warnings of sin and punishment.
