From grandfather to grandson, the lessons of the Tulsa race massacre
- tsherr 6y agoWhen I saw the footage in the Watchmen, I thought it was a made-up event for the TV show. I was appalled to discover it really happened. I also think it's worrisome that this was posted 4 hours ago and mine is the first comment on it. I get that there is a anti-political stuff sentiment on hacker News and that makes sense but this still needs to be discussed.
- zeristor 6y agoI first read about this several weeks ago. After they occurred they were called Race Riots, it seems lately it’s been called a massacre, I’m not sure what the difference between this and a pogrom is. I don’t mean to detract from the story, but there’s a hidden nugget in how such a successful and thriving black enclave started in the first place. Having followed urbanism these thriving enclaves are precious.
