Did you know the first time terrorists used planes to attack Americans wasn't on 9/11 or at Pearl Harbor? It was the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 — when white supremacists flew planes to drop bombs and shoot at Black Americans.
This week marks the 105-year anniversary of one of the most horrific and underrecognized acts of racial violence in American history.

He served as chief historian on the Tulsa Race Riot Commission (1999-2000) and chaired the committee leading the effort to identify the unmarked graves of victims of the 1921 riot for the 2021 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial.

In his tv serial , Damon Lindelof reinvented Watchmen starting with this event.
The 1st masked super hero is a Black man ( who did not want to be recognised as black.)
Watchmen becomes way more political.
