This is the documentary that was discussed in our January 20 program, “An American Pogrom: the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre”. “Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten”, directed by Jonathan Silvers, examines this deadly assault on humanity on the 100th anniversary of the crime. The Memorial Day weekend of 1921 saw one of the most shameful incidents in the history of U.S. race relations, when white rioters destroyed over 35 blocks of Tulsa, Oklahoma's Greenwood District, a prosperous hub of African-American-owned businesses. Moreover, the attack and it's human toll-as many as 300 dead-was covered up for generations. The circumstances of the Tulsa Race Massacre, and the tragedy's long climb into public consciousness, are strikingly recounted here. Narrated by Michel Martin. Run time 120 minutes.
