#WhitePriveledge: The 1921 harrowing act of #terrorism that destroyed “Black Wall Street” in #Tulsa. A #white mob descended on the neighborhood, with around between 75 and 300 #Black people being killed. More than 1,000 homes and almost every business was destroyed, leaving thousands of Black folks reeling. Over the summer, a lower #court dismissed the case.
#WhitePriveledge: The people who were asked to move their #boat so that the #riverboat could #dock in its reserved space should simply have complied.
#StoryOfPlace: In Montgomery…the #righteousindignation of a #community found an outlet when #Blackpeople came to the defense of a #Blackman under #attack.
