A century ago, a White mob descended on a prosperous Black enclave in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and proceeded to burn, loot and kill until scores were dead and 35 city blocks were destroyed.

History shows the massacre wasn't an isolated event in America. https://t.co/kWROagcsgh
As many as 300 killed. Nearly 10,000 left homeless. More than 1,200 homes looted and burned, and some 40-square blocks destroyed. More than a century after one of the worst episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, Tulsa is confronting its bloody past.https://t.co/bPqzFySaUF
