Summary |
A report on the 1921 Greenwood Massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The racist massacre of a prosperous Black community resulted in the deaths of an estimated 300 African Americans. Though few people outside the Tulsa community are aware of the massacre, historians look to exhume what are believed to be mass graves in an effort to shed light on the tragic event. Includes interviews with John W. Franklin, whose grandfather was a resident of Greenwood; Reverend Robert Turner, reverend of Vernon AME Church; Damario Solomon-Simmons, a Tulsan attorney; G.T. Bynum, mayor of Tulsa; Scott Hammerstedt, a senior researcher at the Oklahoma Archeological Survey; and Phoebe Stubblefield, University of Florida forensic anthropologist |
