Today was the 102 year anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre in which white supremacist terrorists mass murdered 300 Black Americans.

Here's how media reported on it—a complete erasure of Black people.

Three Tulsa survivors—Hughes Van Ellis, 102, Lessie Benningfield Randle, 108, and Viola Fletcher, who just turned 109, are with us today. They are the oldest living survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre. They have received $0 reparations.

This isn't ancient history. It's contemporary reality.

@QasimRashid as someone who lives in OK I never heard a peep about this till I was out of school and on the internet. Nobody in this sespool of fascism squeaks a word about it.
But the preacherteachers I was forced to listen to will yell you charles manson and maralyn manson is the same person. And youll go to hell just being a gay person the same as a mass murdering child rapist. Priorities, amirite.

@EdenCybernetic @QasimRashid Tulsa native checking in. I learned about it in high school through an extra credit project. It was not part of the curriculum. This was in 96/97.
