State of Murder

Surprise! It is Celina’s birthday today and we decided to shake things up! Due to current events, we are in Oklahoma this week not Kansas! Sorry Kansas but 1921 was a rough year in Oklahoma. First hear Amber tell about the Osage Indian Murders, where surprise surprise, some white men created a loophole to steal some land. Follow Amber as she tells the story of Anna Brown and her family and the unsolved deaths that seemed to plague them. Next Celina is telling about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Recently making headlines, this is known as the single worst incident of racial violence in American history. In 1921, after a black shoeshine was accused by the Tulsa Tribune of sexually assaulting a white elevator operator the town of Tulsa went on a rampage. Destroying the historic Greenwood neighborhood, also known as Black Wall Street, this is one of the biggest injustices you’ve never heard of.
