Material Detail

In 1921, a white mob destroyed an American neighborhood called “Black Wall Street,” murdering an estimated 300 people in Tulsa, Oklahoma. That incident — known as the Tulsa Race Massacre — has been largely left out of US history books. Today, the city still has a lot of questions. For one, where are the bodies of the victims? Vox takes a look at what happened 100 years ago.
