Celebrated author Carole Boston Weatherford and illustrator Floyd Cooper
provide a powerful look at the Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the worst
incidents of racial violence in our nation's history. The book traces
the history of African Americans in Tulsa's Greenwood district and
chronicles the devastation that occurred in 1921 when a white mob
attacked the Black community.
News of what happened was largely suppressed, and no official
investigation occurred for seventy-five years. This picture book
sensitively introduces young readers to this tragedy and concludes with
a call for a better future.
