Executive produced by NBA superstar and philanthropist Russell Westbrook, and directed by Peabody and Emmy-Award® winning director Stanley Nelson (“Freedom Riders”) and Peabody and duPont-Award winner Marco Williams (“Two Towns of Jasper”), the documentary commemorates the 100th anniversary of the horrific Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the worst acts of racial violence in American history, and calls attention to the previously ignored but necessary repair of a town once devastated.
In the 1920s, the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, also known as Black Wall Street, was one of the most prosperous African American communities in the United States. Filled with booming businesses and thriving entrepreneurs, the district served as a mecca of Black ingenuity and promise, until the evening of May 31, 1921, which marked the start of the devastating Tulsa Race Massacre. More than thirty-five city blocks were burned to the ground and hundreds of Black city dwellers were killed. The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 is one of the most tragic moments in our nation’s history, yet this harrowing event is largely unknown to many Americans. It is an often-overlooked story that needs to be told.
“Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre” takes an in-depth, sobering look at the tragic events of a century ago and focuses on a specific period, from the birth of Black Wall Street, to its catastrophic downfall over the course of two bloody days, and finally the fallout and reconstruction. The documentary also follows the city’s current-day grave excavation efforts at Oaklawn Cemetery where numerous unmarked coffins of victims who were killed and buried during the massacre have been recovered. It will also feature rare archival footage and imagery from the time, coupled with commentary and interviews from numerous historians, city leaders, and activists, including the Tulsa Historical Society & Museum, the John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation, the Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission and the Historic Vernon A.M.E. Church, among others.

I'm glad I had a teacher that actually taught me history. He was native American. And gave me away at graduation. Love you Bill. My favorite teacher for sure.
Where did he give you to?
@@geemaloney9935 lol never thought of it that way 🤣 that's good 👍🏼 haha
Teachers really make a difference-
I'm glad the school district let him teach honest history. Mine didn't. I'm 50 yrs old and still don't know what I don't know.
@@claytronsworld9485 I think there were ALOT of dirty 'bill' Clinton's who had fun with the female students, I protected my daughter!
I still remember hearing the story how they lynched a man in front of his family after beating him because a girl said that a black guy whistled at her turned out decades later she admitted to lieing
Emmett Till. It’s much more worse than just lynching him. That would’ve been a more humane way to go opposed to the way he was murdered. He was a young BOY too and not a MAN. He was 14.
That man was actually a 14 or 15 year old boy named Emmitt Till
And that event sparked the civil rights movement. Among others, but it was the death of that boy that broke the camel's back, sorta speak.
His mother having an open casket service mobilized the civil rights movement.
The actual story is a black kid sexually assaulted a White woman then the woman’s dad beat him to death. He had it coming
Was never taught this in history class. This is almost a generation ago. Crazy.
It's insane that American schools will only ever teach all the "pro America propaganda"
They’re never gonna teach us this in school , doesn’t fit their agenda
I was taught all about this in Jr HS but I went to a Private Elementary school
John, more like four or five generations ago.
@@summersojourner well there's some people that live to be 100. If I'm talking twenty years ago, there could have been people from that generation that were alive when this happened in the 1920's. I said that to keep it short, instead of saying, "there were people who were still alive during that time almost 20 years ago. They could have been there to see it when it happened."
Just imagine being one of those black Americans and the things they must have endured in this horrific event. The loss and heartache that most of us cannot even begin to imagine.
Boo Hoo 😅

It's disgusting that the education system has white washed this from curriculum.

This is a good example of why people should never blindly trust one source of Media.
Real talk
Stories like these are reasons why reliable sources are checked.
Yup
This is a good example to not be racist.
or females.
My sister in law grew up in the suburbs of Tulsa and she never even heard about. It makes you wonder why it was covered up and erased from most history books.
Conservatives still don't want this history taught in school for whatever reason.
They want to esrase history that puts them in a bad light. Still doing it today.
Because even if it was completely true, although we'll never know what really happened, rehashing it one hundred years later will only fuel more racial animosity and permanently traumatize young black kids.
@@stiffrichard2816 Ignorance is bliss. I would rather know what happened so that history doesn't repeat itself.
@@stiffrichard2816 I grew up near there and was around in the 90s when the story was "rediscovered" after decades of cover up. I would like you to know that the black kids DID already know about it from their parents and grandparents, it was everyone else who didn't. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough diversity in circles of influence for non-black folks to learn about it until the "re-discovery."
A lot of white people are ashamed of their history because they would have to admit reparations are long overdue. They live their life on Demon 👿 time and spread lies to the next generation .
It's really crazy to think that teachers are no longer allowed to teacher about this in the state that it happened in.
That's tragic. Maybe you should move as soon as you can. Luckily you have the internet and can see the truths they don't want you to see.
The truth is ugly…. White watching is just that… ugly….. but what is beautiful is seeing white people refusing to let the truth be white washed and still tell the truth about Tulsa…, I can respect that
@@amusedBYfoolsOR, a state can stop hiding it’s shameful past.
they do teach it
I just looked this up. It’s actually required for schools to teach this, since 2002….. And most of what I was reading was from 2020-2021 so I’m pretty sure they do teach it.
What has the black man ever done to anyone to deserve such brutal treatment over thousands of years?

Some of the worse massacres in American history both happened in Oklahoma's two biggest cities. Kinda weird
It's a pattern
Would never live in a red state. The deepest form of poison
It’s a lot of people on here looking for a reaction. Don’t fall for their words. They know this was a horrible time in history and wanna run away from what happened.
What's funny is it was a riot until 3yrs ago. Oh and btw a massacre would involve there being bodies yet they can't seem to find them. They have dug up 2 white girls 7 white men and a native burial site and still no bodies. Revisionist have made it what it is and had to use shock value to waste taxpayer money to find the bodies. Oh yeah I live in Tulsa and it is and was taught in public schools here in Oklahoma.
You know why two of the three survivors didn't speak at the centennial? They weren't getting paid so they didn't speak.
I'm native so it's not going to work when you attempt to call me a racist.

If things don’t change soon, it is going to happen again. Mark my words. Carve them in stone.
I was told about this in 1995 by a coworker who was born in OK!!😢 And I never forgot his words after telling me the story " don't trust none of them" and don't drop Guard!💯
Your crazy
🍼👶🏾👈🙄
@@user-dk8oe8cd2ulast I checked a mob of white men overreacted to a teenager being bumped into and destroyed a wealthy thriving community that never recovered due to rampant racism
I remember my grandpa telling about this
@George Washington A angry mob in the hundreds charging 75 armed men and only killing 10 was a sign of mercy to be honest 😂. I don’t think you understand how they coulda got more than that due to being rushed by so many people.
@George Washington yep i bet he did. Good for the guy who fired the first shot. Proud of him.
@George Washington im sure the murder of random people and children in mass is “retaliation”.
What was his point ? That is very interesting! Can you tell us/me ? Please ?
@George Washington none of your fake story happened
Important to know the worst is capable by anyone at any time. We look to the past and shudder at "those times" when we should be shuddering at how history will be remembered in our own time. "Grandma Grandpa, how did you let 'so and so' happen? Wasn't the answer obvious?"
Some have a pattern of evil alot more than others..
@@walkintxtinrangerI know blacks have a long history in our country of always making trouble, but it's also evil to say all blacks are bad. There are some good ones.
Thank you for posting this, it was extremely riveting as someone who’s studied American History my entire life to have never heard about this.
i have to say we were educated about it for the first time during a black history month in, i think, it was 7th or 8th grade. im biracial & went to a private approx.90% white school. ironically, when i told the stories to my friends that went to public school (nyc), they never heard about it. the injustice & horror of it stays with me to this day. "he who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it..."MLK JR.
it amazes me even more that there were no decent people in that town that tried to stop the murdering rampage, at least none that were reported.
So the newspaper story was CNN before television.
I'm a social studies teacher. College educated. Grew up in the American public school system. And I didn't hear about this tragedy until last year. Wonder why...
Because your uneducated
What college or university taught u ..😮😅
When I was younger my dad was
Working in the Drexel building. The old lever was still there. Growing up we weren’t taught about what really happened. I didn’t know the full story until I was an adult
Sadly, with opposition to truth-telling in our schools, most kids never will.
The Tulsa Tribune blew the whole thing out of proportion. Without finding the facts.
Go read the article for yourself, it’s rather mild.
By design, there are no accidents. Wouldn't be surprised if the mob was involved.
@@gbaker1a775 i dont think any copies of the actual article exist.
@@grammaticalchainsaw7318 yes the article exists, very easy to find
The more things change the more they stay the same sounds like today's news media taking one little incident and blowing it out of proportion until city blocks burn down.
Wow…how come I’m just now hearing about this horrible tragedy just now? It’s been over 100yrs since this happened, and it makes me wonder, why has it taken so long to bring this story to light?
Crazy I had never heard of this until Watchmen.. now I'm obsessed
This is a watered version. The extent of the death toll and horror is impossible to make out because they covered it up for so long. Born and raised here and didn’t learn about it until 12 years ago some at the library gave me a dvd of the documentary. It went more into detail. Horrifying.
Reminder that the Tulsa race riots in 1921 started when a mob of Blacks murdered ten White men outside the Tulsa courthouse.
What is your source?
racist really think that was the case
Thoughts on the Holocaust?
That is fiction
In which parallel universe????
Hey History Channel, got anything about wealthy black slave owners and black slave traders?
Doesn't fit the narrative just like nobody wants to talk about white slaves or how women and children were enslaved by Native American tribes.
These people in this video woulda tried to kill them too.
@@freethinker8142 native Americans made them apart of the tribes that's how they got on the roll book as ndns

Scary to say the least. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I'm going to take it you aren't from Oklahoma seeing as I'm 42 and we were taught about it from elementary to high school. And can't forget about the remembrance every year.
@@aclark9869 I live in Virginia. I've ask several of my relatives and neighbors
old and young and no one was ever taught about it here.
@@vexingrose the Chicago Tribune was one of the first to report on it. It went nationally within days.
@@aclark9869 Then or now? If now, if they had not I still would not know about it. I have been watching several news stories about it since Sunday.
Why do I get the feeling that I'm not hearing all of the facts or context?
You’re not- I grew up in Tulsa and the story has been edited to fit the narrative.
@@maryrowe1504 what do you mean? I’m honestly curious about this.
@K Philly you really believe they went up there in a white neighborhood and just started shooting in 1921 😂
@K Philly What are i talking about 🤦🏽♂️
Why do I get the feeling, you just want to justify what happened?
This was a sad, horrible, and downright evil event in American history, and while I am still not quite sure if this would’ve been published by the History Channel this year, regardless of what happened in the events last year, I’m still glad that it was at least published today to mark what may seem like the 100th anniversary, although I do not yet know what day this month is actually occurs.
May 31st, 1921 - June 1st, 1921. The days are accurate to the anniversary of the tragedy. You also could’ve googled this info as I just did for you.
@@brackin9128 ok dad
Is it wrong that I've lived in Oklahoma for 20 years and I just recently found out about the Tulsa Massacre
@Black Flex6 It's the TRUTH. You just WON'T believe it.
@George Washington "75 armed black guys" just gloss over the fact that these were men who were fresh off the battlefields of WW1.
@Black Flex6 Read 'An Eruption in Tulsa: An NAACP Official Investigates the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921'.
@@amiciprocul8501 So you believe that it is true?
@Black Flex6 You sure that, in 1921, the NAACP did not represent black folks? Nowadays we have black caucuses and other elected people to advance civil rights causes. No so, back then.
Coming from Atlanta I’m new to Tulsa and I’ve never heard about this. It’s so sad that even in one of the most black thriving city’s in America we still aren’t taught everything. I visit greenwood regularly because of this because it was a tradition for my family to visit the King site as a boy regularly
no mention of what they did to that white woman
Probably got her out of town and moved her somewhere far far away.
The truth of what actually happened in the elevator will never be known fully. I grew up in Tulsa and was told several stories about what conspired from the man tripping and accidentally touching her, him pinching her butt or him just saying something untoward. It’s like the Emmitt Till story from a couple of decades later- the girl probably felt a real need to say whatever contact that happened was unwelcome and given the beliefs of the day she may have really felt she was in danger. She also knew that she faced the possibility or even probability of a ruined reputation if she didn’t comply with whatever she was told to say.
Awww. Too bad.
Yup they wont say a black man r*ped a white female

Just pure evil based on a lie. They should have received reparations. So much pain!!!
Yet still haven't found any of those bodies. I live in Tulsa so ask me how I know.

There's 0 facts saying the white guys are the aggressor there.
We know for a fact the blacks were heavily outnumbered, but non of them got shot in this scuffle?
So, a group of black guys went down to the courthouse and shot a white guy. Which started the Tulsa race riots.

@@decriper1097oh yes of course. Separating by gender is fine and I definitely support that! But separating by race is silly.

SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER! When I was young this incident was referred to as the Tulsa Race Riot. Today it is called the Tulsa Massacre. THIS sets off alarm bells for me, because when you control the language of the debate you are half way to controlling the debate itself. The real question is NOT what took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921, but historically how it's designated.
Recently a condominium filled with people who I would consider wealthy. I mean as a native Oklahoman anyone who can afford to live in an Ocean View Condominium, in Florida is wealthy. At least from my perspective. Anyhow these wealthy people KNEW the attached Garage was badly leaking water and needed repairs BUT they delayed and dithered for between two to four YEARS because the total repair cost was too high! NINETY people DIED because a committee failed to take action in a building that they all LIVED in for at least two to four years. Why? Because basically a group of wealthy people didn't want to pony up the cash for necessary repairs! So? YES, casualty numbers do make a difference. Stalin's is famous for saying, "One death is a tragedy but a million deaths is just a statistic." This is why it's the WORDS we use to describe a historical event, are just as important or even more important then the even itself. So the WORDS we use to NAME an event are just as; if not more; IMPORTANT than the event itself. WORDS should have a clear and common meaning, all parties can agree on! As a amateur student of history, I am very sensitive to the terms used, in a discussion of history. Why? Well for example even though the terms Unborn Baby, and Fetus, technically mean the same thing, they are not equivalent. WELL, the terms RIOT and MASSACRE are not even vaguely similar so how can they BOTH describe the same event. A RIOT is: "Aspontaneous disturmbance of the peace by a crowd." RIOTs have broken out because the Hometeam lost a football game! While Massacre is defined as "The murder, with little or no justifiable cause, of a large number or people." You see WORDS HAVE MEANING. Are those two definitions the same? Because if the definitions are the same or at least equivalent than HISTORY ITSELF HAS ALREADY BEEN REWRITTEN. And WHO has changed histoty? A power mad dictator like Adolf Hitler? A mass murdering tyrant like Joseph Stalin? NO, history has been altered by a small group of BLACK intellectuals. It seems the Media, unelected and unaccountable to anyone, have sometime between the year 1981 and 2021, bestowed the POWER to change the Name of an Important Historical Event, onto a tiny group of black intellectuals that may or may not even represent the black community itself. And apparently I am the only person to EVEN notice the change. How did this happen?
We have a similar situation here in South Carolina where back in the early 1960s there was an attempt by South Carolina state college students to integrate a bowling alley in Orangeburg South Carolina. There was a standoff between law enforcement and the students who at some point began to throw rocks and bottles at law enforcement. Law enforcement opened fire on the rioters and killed three and I think injured one or two more. The newspapers and television in South Carolina resurrect this event every year on its anniversary and have dubbed it the Orangeburg massacre. I would hardly call three deaths as a massacre but you're right the change of one word changes the whole narrative.
The horror of what happened can't be justified away with words. This is a stain on the history of the USA.
It started as a race riot and ended as a Massacre.
This explains how the fuse was lit, but not how the charges were set.
and it was set up.. to be sure
Notice they never told you one of those black men shot and killed a white guy in that tussle.
Wonder why they never told the audience that part?

since this sort of history isn't taught in school , it's up to the individual to look it up and educate themselves.
This is just heartbreaking and horrific.

That scene in Black-ish of the white girl on the elevator makes perfect sense now...wow
Oh wow what a perfect time to bring this up
It was the anniversary. The posted it on May 31st and this occurred May 31st, 1921...
Putting a young lady to operate an elevator in an area like that is asking for trouble. I wouldn't get in an elevator like that alone with any man even now. I'd like to see the full doc and unprejudiced facts on this. Never heard of it before the MSM started spinning with it a couple of weeks ago.
Who knows. Since the arrangement was to have the blacks go use that building to find a restroom, it could very well be that some jackhole who didn't like that arranged to have a young white girl be the elevator operator, especially one who might be a bit shy, nervous, or maybe even misinformed and brought up racist.
@@russchadwell that’s an interesting perspective... you should be a fiction writer.
Well, at least we now know, based upon your comment, that passive aggressive behavior couldn't possibly have been part of the equation. No. Never.
@@russchadwell so a Jack hole set up a white girl to be assaulted because he didn’t like the restroom arrangements, knowing that eventually the white mob could than assisted and burn down a community just out of jealousy and hatred. Sounded real stupid when you said it, I made even stupider.

You do realize the media just made that up as an excuse to Lynch him. They literally exaggerated the whole thing. So much for your “don’t believe everything on the media” mentality.

Even if he did assault her that doesn't make it okay to burn down a neighborhood
@@Bryndleson i didnt say it did. I just said come on. That is not believable. But they burn down cities for alot less now dont they?
So all that happen because of the media news and the police sheriff fail to prevent it from happening.
Makes sense to run from the elevator if u didn’t do anything.
In an era where you could be beaten or killed for essentially nothing I would run too.
Make sense to have to go up the block to use the restroom too huh 🤔 tfoh
Right, the moment she screamed he was already guilty of something in those days. I guarantee when that rickidy old elevator jumped, it made them bump into each other, she screamed, he probably said I'm sorry and it wasn't enough, he would have gotten lynched just on principle. Crazy, that was 6o something years after slavery supposedly ended. Thanks America for allowing this event to even take place. As an African American in this country I am appalled about this. Grew up in the 80_-90's, did fairly well in school and never heard if this incident in history.

Abdu'l-Baha (son of Baha’u’llah), Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 113
So basically, men died because the neddy lied about a woman lying and a man running away from the scene. Where were the deputies or the national guard when you needed them. Moral of the story, don't trust the media and don't escalated things to stupid heights over a simple accident in an elevator.
Learned about this recently in college. Crazy just how much history I missed out on in secondary school
Crazy story if you hear it in this time!! Black, White or red everyone has the right to a fair trial. We are all humans don't let color or believe get in the way!!!
Red?

That's what happens when you continue to play the divide and conquer game, but people are starting to figure out who exactly is the one playing the game, and it won't be long before they become the game in the hunt
Bring it boi.
Can’t wait for this hunting.

Wow ! 😮 found this on tiktok and came here.
most schools were not taught about Tulsa massacre, but i read this history
1:31"We don't know exactly what happened, but we know something happened." ... but everyone concludes that she's lying and this whole event happened for no reason. got it. lol
No, in the fairytale retelling of this story, they got to make the black dude a didn't do it. You know, he didn't do nuttin.
Reminds me of Rodney king watch a documentary and see if the part where he beat a female officer almost to death.
@Black Flex6 You and people like you are what hold the black race back.
Most people have no idea he did that even to this day. It makes me happy to see someone who does. I remember the riots because I was a kid when they happened. It took me 20 years to find out that he had beaten a female officer really badly. And for the person calling you a liar, it's documented history. They want to remain ignorant.
@@MyNextShotWontMiss They know.
@@MyNextShotWontMiss let me guess your racist father taught you that lie
The big difference. King did not change and still died from Drug or Alcohol overdose.
I was taught this in my high school black history class in 1972
This should be taught, but not as a piece where black people acted heroically. This is a prime example of complicated history. Maybe there was heroics but clearly also unwise behavior.
“Training in morals and good conduct is far more important than
Book learning. A child that is cleanly, agreeable, of good character,
Well-behaved, even though he be ignorant, is preferable to a child
That is rude, unwashed, ill-natured, and yet becoming deeply versed
In all the sciences and arts. The reason for this is that the child
who Conducts himself well, even though he be ignorant, is of benefit to
Others, while an ill-natured, ill-behaved child is corrupted and
Harmful To others, even though he be learned. If, however, the child be
Trained to be both learned and good, the result is light upon light”.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p.135)
you gotta teach your children this ..or they will never fully understand.😔
I live in Oklahoma and i think this should be taught WAY more
I bet it's scary to live in these times where bad things happen.
You do know bad things like this happen all the time, even today. You've just never witnessed or seen it yet.
@@Kreedo1110 but things that are happening are nowhere as bad as things were a century ago
I'm talking about world wars, colonialism and extreme racism
My great grandpa was born on November 10 1921 if he was still alive the storys he would tell I was two when he passed I wish I could have learned about what it was like to live in this time
The reason why this riot Wasn't brought into public consciousness for years is because of fears of more violence like it.
I grew up in Tulsa and we were taught about the race riot from elementary to high school. The survivors spoke at the schools everyone in Oklahoma knew about it.
Happens all the time. U aint heard of antifa and blm. But now they are called peaceful protest.
@@hummerfan8889You’re deluded
@@aclark9869We didn’t know anything about it. Stop lying
Its a shame that i found out about this from a hbo tv series.. the #1 show . Which got cancelled the following year. Sincevthen ive done my due diligence in learning true black history
Everybody's got a past is an understatement of the human race.
What happen to all the white farmers in South Africa in these modern times
@Marlboro Man boo hoo hoo snowflake.
@Marlboro Man 😂😂😂😂Your Hilarious
Home invasions are a daily occurrence,
Bono should write a song about that!
Another moment when blacks get uppity and whites wasn’t having it , not racist at all. Just judging character
Are you saying it’s ok for whites to be uppity but not blacks and what do you mean by uppity how was blacks uppity
@@bezogib like Mormons got uppity and they were chased out of town.
@@josemama428 so black people didn’t deserve to build for themselves and build their communities up, build wealth and pass it down? Yet you folks are always saying to black people to pull themselves but their own bootstraps but when they did , you get jealous of their potential and seek to thwart and destroy all economic progress. But yet say you aren’t racist ?
Sad that you can still see the same thing today
This actually was the second worse. The Elaine massacre had a higher death toll
The trail of tears was worse.
Some very well respected historians believe the death tolls at the devil's punchbowl were imbellished by Confederate apologists. But it's still probably more than the trail of tears.
It’s a peaceful WLM protest.
Stfu!!
@@jaypoet4life55 Are you David Dorn?
The whole premise sounds like a "me too" moment going out of proportion.
The boy is a school drop out working as a shoe shiner in a white shop that had no toilets for him. He ended up alone with a girl in an elevator and the girl says he attacked her. What happened to the girl. Are you all saying the girl lied?
Dis never in near my history Class back in my HS and I’m still mad about it😩
This is horrible regardless. I want to make that clear. But I’m confused on if he assaulted her or if he bumped her or whatever. What did she tell the clerk or police?
@K Philly it true I agree. That just doesn't make sense. But I also saw someone say the girl refused to press charges or did not want to press charges. So that makes me think maybe it was a true accident. Why would she let it go if attacked in that manner. Thanks for the info though.
@K PhillyWe don’t even know if that’s true either. No photo evidence
Nobody knows her side of the story and nobody wants to know they just want to pin the whole thing on those mean old white racist.
A don't think that was the worst racial violence in America history everybody forgets about the native Americans 🙏
The history some don’t want told. Never forget💯💯
Today my twelve year old was surprised that I knew this history
Wow having weapons then was manly but know we all should give em up so government can do what they want.
That was horrible what happened but it happened before most of our parents where ever born. I guess now there going to shove this down our throat and tell us how bad we are and demand payment
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
That's the American history that they do not like to talk about
Pay back is necessary
Lmao “we don’t know exactly what happened but he was seen running from the elevator” yea because innocent people run out of buildings for no reason...
No. Because of the time when this happened, just her screaming would have put his life in danger. If you were in his shoes, you would have ran too.
Yeah guilty people are the only type of people who ever run in any circumstance. No way he was in a circumstance he was probably already nervous to be in and the worst possible thing he could imagine happened. Seriously, man lived in a city where it wad to be expected to not be allowed to take a leak at his own job.
