The broadcast’s segments can be watched at 60Minutes.com and on the CBS All Access app. Its webcast, 60MinutesOvertime.com, offers content originally produced for the web, including behind-the-scenes video about the production of 60 Minutes stories and timely archival segments.

very sad, why didn't we learn this in school instead of seeing it on youtube 60 minutes 99 years later
This was not the only one...there were others...ever seen the movie rosewood
They tried to erase it from history....no one talked about it it was just brushed under a rug they took it out of new articles im surprised the little that knew about it...
Because any logical and intelligent human being would regularly call for the end to white supremacy and racism if they truly knew the brutal truth of history.
I only learned about it within the past 20 minutes. I’ve been through high school and 6 years of college, which included race relations classes, and never heard of it. I feel ashamed that I never heard about it. History is so white washed.
i learned about it in school...BTW in Tulsa, and my grandparents discussed it the stories were unvarnished lots of HATE! involved.
Words matter,this was no riot, it was a massacre
It doesn't matter what you call it... it is history.
It was a planned hit to stop growth and potential wealth for the descendants of the people of Greenwood.
Nope a riot as approx 1/3 were white casulties.
@@mikligardur9104 1/3 of the deaths were white? Can you link that, would be interesting to see what the WHOLE story is.
@@outofcompliance1639
Look up coloured civil right activist Walter Frances White who was in Tulsa 1921.
He estimated 150-200 blacks and 50 whites killed.
Leave the past in the past is easy to say when it didn't affect you or your descendants
Agree
@Reese M but let the tragedy happen to them then it's "Never Forget"
Disgusting to say something so ignorant.
@@lynnmarie7273 blow something how's that for ignorance
and the senator said it with "ease" and he meant it ...and he's NOT ALONE TODAY! in 2021 stunning!
I remember one of my professors in college talking about this. A black student who was from Tulsa challenged her on it, saying there was no way he could have grown up there and not heard about it. Makes you wonder what else has been covered up in our history if something like this can be swept under the rug, even from people who grew up a few blocks from where it happened.
The powers that be don't want us to even know this happened. They taught a watered down version of history since the beginning.
You have no idea what the truth is. This is all nonsense.
How come they there is no story on Minneapolis in 2020? 180 buildings looted and burned, including a police station, US Post Office, banks, pawn shops and another 1500 buildings damaged??
not a riot, it was genocidal massacre
I live not far from the greenwood district. I hate that people here pretend nothing happened. It's a horrid piece of history that most would rather move on and pretend it never happened. But it did happen and I appreciate y'all bringing it light. #blacklivesmatter
I would say it's probably because it's in the past and they didn't do it, what are they supposed to do about it? they know it happened bit ion think they're supposed the cry over it every day.
@@COLORBOOKANTICSThey need to actually acknowledge that it happened by including it in history books; not by burying their heads in the sand and pretending it never happened because they’re too ashamed of what some of their ancestors may have done. To add insult to injury, no one was arrested for any of it.
People who learn Indian history learn of the atrocities committed by the British Raj (i.e. Jalianwalah Bagh Massacre) and also of the positive impact that the Raj had in India (i.e. transportation and organised administrative systems). No one protests teaching these things except for the Hindu Nationalists who want to Hinduwash Indian history by cutting out the achievements of any non-Hindu from textbooks. They don’t believe in facts, just like a lot of people who want to pretend the Tulsa Massacre never happened.
History is made up of facts from the past. If you don’t learn from history or ignore it entirely, you are likely to repeat it. It would be good for the whole world to remember this.

This is great documentation; we heard of Rosewood and Tulsa; there were probably more incidents of this happening; it just hasn’t been recorded🤦🏾♀️

@William Everyman the fact that you could know this information and still be so ignorant and racist is so typical
Today well FBI crime statistics can informed you what demographic group are commiting must crimes.
So heartbreaking. It’s disgusting this has been hidden for so long, these are the things they need to teach in school.
Why is something that happened to people that are dead heartbreaking?
They tried to hold on to soooo many secrets back then. Nowadays it’s ALL coming into the light…
@@kkane8809 Of course people will protect themselves from getting into trouble but I don't think there are any secrets, its just nobody should care about what happened 100 years ago to people that are gone now.
@@outofcompliance1639 I see, and ai understand your perspective. I come from a Southern family who took secrets to their graves with them. In the last two decades, my generation has stumbled upon some of these “secrets”, that should have never been kept( all because they thought they were protecting Us). Some of them could have ended up been detrimental to my fam members. Point being, We cannot bury history just because it makes us uncomfortable. We need to acknowledge it, pay our respect to those that were effected by it and move on.
@@kkane8809 I agree the truth needs to be told, but why are people to worked up about something from 100 years ago? Secrets are happening today like the 2020 election shenanigans, Covid origins, and who is actually running the government, media, and big tech. These will come out sooner or later but I hope not too late.
Have a great weekend!
Whatever you do in the dark ends up coming to light.
Can you imagine a serial killer saying to the cops. It happen in the past!
Yep nothing surprises me after I heard this happening to my own relatives! I live two minutes away from greenwood.My grandmother and great grandmother lived on Greenwood though.It's very heavy on the heart in that area.Especially at night it's almost like you can't breath. It's really sad!
@@lovelyrich54 ❤️ it makes me so sad. Sending love to you and your family
@@lovelyrich54Especially considering what was lost. Imagine what Black Wall Street could have been like today if this had never happened.
My mother mentioned this incident to me yesterday. I was like, "What?!? Why did I never hear about it in school???". A 50 year-old white guy, and I never even knew this happened. This needs to be remembered and taught to all of our young people just like the massacre at Wounded Knee. I wonder how many other incidents like this were simply swept under the rug and forgotten?
@D K: Wilmington, NC; Lorraine, AR; Rosewood in FL (they made a movie about it in the 90s), to name a few...not to mention those Black towns that were intentionally flooded, I'd say that there are 100s to say the least (i.e. Ethnic Cleasing)
@@brownstar5432 Thank you for this post.
I was aware of the Tulsa Riots.... but I had no idea of that anywhere close to 10,000 black people were left homeless. I have trouble finding any words for how sad and unjust this even was. As a WW1 history nerd, I cant imagine going to fight in a trench during WW1, coming back from that and then having to deal with locals in Tulsa, OK
think about dealing with them TODAY
I have trouble finding any evidence that there were tens of thousands of blacks in Tulsa when this was going on. Black Americans are 13% of the population yet there was a hugely inflated number of them living in Tulsa back then? Sorry, I own a calculator and the math doesn't check out.
@@vulpsturm: Did you not know of this place being the single largest group of the U.S.A.'s wealthiest black Americans ? I mean, this was a huge town of successful blacks and I believe this made whites jealous and angry.
I would be very careful making such statements. Especially since using a calculator is not the way to figure this bit of history out.
This was an enormous town. And after it having been completely destroyed with hundreds of murders and THOUSANDS injured, --- where would they be..?!?!? Yes, homeless.
The summer of 1921 saw gigantic race riots in cities across the US, including many that may surprise folks educated to think "tgere aren't many black people in the midwest." Large populations were not unusual. Malcolm X was born in Omaha, where a large community also existed. Check early census records if you doubt it.
A black boy started this and a bm killed first nevertheless a WM built thousands of houses for them after. Learn your history and not from bs news.
I was born and raised in Oklahoma. I NEVER knew this until it ran on the news last week. It’s so sad it’s so so wrong
@Khane: THAT was their plan all along, the culprits. They never intended for anyone after that moment to EVER find out. But fast-forward 100 years later, for some, and what evil was done in the dark has been brought to the light.
It’s absolutely horrible...💔😔 So many lives simply ended and destroyed because of the evil sickening, heartlessness of racism, and other forms of discrimination.
Not just one sided most never been to ro Tulsa this was not everyone in Okla I never seen racism. I live only mixed neighborhoods in Okc I never seen anyone be mean to black people .
Because it was started by a graper that was a black boy! This is nonsense!
Keep it a secret to hide your evil. However all secrets are revealed and truths made known.
And they wonder why we mad!
you mad because you were there?
And how is it the white people that are live today's fault? They had nothing to do with it. Would you like it if you were blamed for other peoples crimes?

@@outofcompliance1639 history is written by the conquerors, not the defeated. How do you think history of the revolution would have been portrayed if they had lost? That is what they mean by a "lie agreed upon." Not including ALL of the history is the lie.
@@shaunaquin4242 Yes, history is written by the victors, however, it is studied and if PROVEN wrong it is changed. Current revisionist history is far from proven more correct, in fact it is lies.
THANKS 4 POSTING!
Watching this in 2020 makes you feel were currently living in the same era
And we are asking why folks are rioting in the streets today? No justice, no peace.
It was a massacre.
As a former teacher I can tell you we never heard of this tragedy. It wasn’t in any of our textbooks. It wasn’t on TV, or brought to the attention of the American public. A very successful and shameful coverup. My apologies to former students that I did not know about this despicable event and failed to inform them.
It's not your fault! God bless...

Should say, "Breaks my heart how racist 'some' people are in this country." No one is born to hate, hate is taught. We need to correct that.
Personally I believe a statement made by my anthropology professor in college who said, "There is no such thing as different races, only different cultures." The only "race" is the human race. And this comes from a person who comes from what some people might call a "mixed race" family. I say I come from a family. The different pigmentation of each member of our family makes that person who they are, like hair or eye color. They wouldn't be them if they were a different color. It is part of what gives them their individuality. It's like I tell my kids, God paints with all the colors, and each painting is a master piece!
Such a Disgusting Disgrace!! I’m So Sorry andHeartbroken We All Need to Share this Story! Yes Payments !!!
In 1973 as a Tulsa officer I was allowed to examine all of the confiscated and officially taken pictures of the riot. One set of pictures showed the digging, filling, and covering up of a mass grave near the intersection of 9th street and Olympia ave. This grave contains between 100 and 120 bodies that had been collected and held in Newblock Park. A ditch was dug with a bulldozer just south and east of 9th street and Olympia ave east of the Sandsprings railroad, and three flatbed truckloads of bodies and body parts were dumped in the ditch,covered with quick lime and covered up. One employee who had been hauling ice from 3rd and Maybelle to put on the bodies recognized the area of the grave as being city property and a decision was made to dispose of the bodies that were stinking horribly by June 4th. I can show you Exactly where the grave lies.

I grew up only blocks from the Greenwood District, and went to Central High School in downtown Tulsa. I didn't hear the story until I was in college...on the west coast. A history professor asked me what I thought about it. He used almost the entire hour to tell the story. You could have knocked me over with a feather.

I understand why black people can't emotionally disconnect ourselves from the past. It is too painful, too dark, we feel that we could have done more to protect ourselves but we failed. We didn’t protect our women, children and homes. We feel violated and used. We are also angry at ourselves for not fighting back and “turning the other cheek.” These are some tuff realities to think about and feel responsible for. It causes rage, anger, sadness and is to grotesque.
We have not gotten an apology and an acknowledgement from the United States Government and I understand that. We have not yet healed and our children in the generations to come will not either unless we take action. We have to search deep and if we do we will find that we are "stuck" in the past and completely frozen with fear. The only way to honor our ancestors who died to build the wealth that they lost in Africa and in America is through re-building a community and memorial in their honor. It is by not giving in to fear and by not giving up that we really honor them. The strength of the ALMIGHTY GOD and our ancestors are with us and ready to fight with us.
It is overdue and past time to stop being “stuck” in our past and learn from it. Learn that if you build it again, this time it will be different. No longer will we take abuse and be disrespected. No longer are we going to lay down and take beatings and be killed. Why? Because we understand the evil devices of racism and no longer can that hold us back. We understand the lies and false narratives told to us internal and external.
The only reparations needed are African/blacks to rebuild our empires in Africa and here in America. And if the same modern day racist people attempt to destroy it like their ancestors did then we declare war against them and will defend ourselves rigorously. We should have a military presence in our newly built communities for protection and a treaty with the USA cementing that right.
Well said. Your essay belongs on the Op-Ed page of the New York Times, Chicago Herald-Tribune, Atlanta Journal etc.
I do respect your feelings, views and opinions and understand why you have them. My ancestors of the late 1800's endured very harsh religious persecutions which included mobs beating them, burning their homes, unjustly imprisoning them, etc. One state even wrote a law of extermination which made it legal for them to be hunted and murdered if they did not leave the state.
In the mid 1990's, news came to us, their descendants, that this state FINALLY repealed this law and offered a formal apology. I was as well as many people, shocked to hear that the law had existed on their books for almost 150 years!
However, back to the main point, I respectfully hear your opinion, and of course honor your claim to self defense and seeking of justice, I must respectfully disagree with your opinion of taking it as far as you stated up to actual war.
In my humble opinion is this: If each "labeled / categorized" groups of people continue to "circle the wagons" against each other, there will never be peace!
We must learn to live together in love as God intends. We must walk hand in hand to honor those who have suffered and work together as one people, children of God, to see that things like this never happen again, and stop and reform any unjust practices that are still going on. We must work together to bring to pass Dr. KING Jr.'s dream! We need to stop looking at each other and dividing each other by things like the color of our skin. From the tragedies done to the native Americans, to the internment camps of the Japanese people during WW 2, to of course one of the greatest stains on our country of putting people, some of God's children into bondage, and so many other injustices to so many "different peoples." Only when we learn to live together in love will there be peace.
Sure there will be many who will resist this idea, but those of us who embrace it can work together to become an unstoppable force for good, love, peace and harmony. I think this is a big part of what Dr. King meant when he said, "I have a dream.."
Must want to forget about it and move on for fear of bringing ALL other incidents to light... For sure there are plenty more...
Please see Ephesians 6:12 in the Bible. This is where the real struggle is, in order to defeat an evil spirit a good spirit has to do it.
...and as a final insult, Oklahoma in the 1970s drove Highway 244 through the center of the rebuilt neighborhood of Greenwood, Tulsa, Oklahoma dividing the community in half, in the name of “urban renewal.”
@12:00 This is a tragic thing that happened but you just gotta LIVE WITH IT?!? Is he even human? This was mass genocide slaughter and he just shrugs it off. Doubt he'd be so indifferent if it were his ancestors that got murdered and lives homes destroyed

Justice MUST prevail
Oh yes. Also in the end the final judgement will be from GOD.
@@hamhockbeans yes ma'am
Justice? Thieves and murders don't deserve justice.
Tulsa Okla lies upon lands that were given to the Mvskoke (Muskogee) and Cherokee native tribes under treaty after they had been removed from their indigenous homelands in the Southeastern US. these new lands included much of what is now eastern Oklahoma. These lands were given to the Native peoples of the Creek (Mvskoke) and Cherokee tribes for time and all eternity in the early 1830s, by all rights there should have been no white nor black people here to be fighting with each other. Yes a few black folks were killed and yes a few whites folks were killed in the riot. Yet no black or white folks would have been harmed in any way in Tulsa in 1921 if they had not murdered and burnt out the thousands of Natives that were rightfully here to begin with.
When oil was found under the land that had been given to the Creeks and Cherokee the treaties though still binding were discarded and Oil men of both white and black races flooded into what is now Tulsa. Burning out and killing any Indians that would not move aside and bow to the stream of 'progress.'
Before you shed tears or beat your chest for less than a few hundred black folks, think about the thousands of indians that were killed in the 50 some odd years prior to the 1921 riot as well as the thousands that were killed before and during the 1830s removal to Oklahoma.
If those black folks hadn't violated the treaties they wouldn't have been here to be involved in any race riot in 1921.
The sad part is the black community in Tulsa has never been the same again.
Wow
Was thinking a lot about Tulsa recently, and noticed that many reporters on it didn't mention the fact that during the period after World War One, the whole world, but mostly in countries considered culturally "western", including South Africa, Australia and new Zealand, were in the grips of revolution, riots, revolts, civil wars, political violence and so on. Anybody who could carry a gun or knew where to get them and had seen combat experience or was brutalized by the First World War would participate in violence and the sheer craziness of Tulsa clearly showed that. However, these docs do little to contextualise why these events happen or the psychology of the perpetrators.
I lived in Tulsa Oklahoma from 1996 97 to 1998 never heard about this until now this is shocking
Black Wall Street was attacked by the military SMH🤦
And local law enforcement
Right...no protection whatsoever 🤦
@@Esoteric360starseed Yep and wonder why most folks don't get along with the cops.They still till this day protect who they want,🙄
I don't believe in Statutes of limitations, exactly for this reason. It's for the criminals and not the victims. I hate when people say, it's in the past, when no one was ever held accountable. Ridiculous
I wonder what came of this. The deserve reparations
An older man talking answering to Tulsa burning is able to say that presently segregation is loosened up a bit emphasizing on 'a bit' a white boy watching black grown ups being beaten mercilessly by white men other boy seeing killed black men being put in big dug up holes overtime becoming implanted on the minds of white children a confused mind making them ask questions and whatever answer or answers given is accepted by the innocent child or children shaping them for the future as demanded by the 'answer(s)' a sowing of racism.
28 million dollars of Black Wealth went up in flames... Reparations are due now. (ONLY IN AMERICA). NOT THE AMERICAN DREAM, BUT AN AMERICAN NIGHTMARE! IT'S A DISGRACE! SO SAD.
Never understood how somebody could hate someone so much just because their skin is a slightly different shade. And this was definitely a successful coverup - at least for many decades - because I'd never heard about it before a few years ago. And I love history and to read, learn, watch documentaries, etc. and it still evaded me for 30+ years.
I still see this ignorant mentality plenty in Texas
What evil is inside man? When youre German you must always be confronted with that question, in a personal manner. What is that that evil that lurks inside of you, waiting to be unleasehed? Have you mistreated someone bc of how you thought what their heritage was? Have you kept quiet while witnessing injustice and prejudice? Why havent you said anything? It will haunt you forever.
This has to end. It might take some of courage, speaking up against majorities, whether it is a majority of a certain race, sexual orientation, gender or something else. But we have to consider, that we will be measured by the time we rose to the challenge of confronting the evil in us and among our own people that is the measure of integrity and that its the only true bar that we will be measured before our creator. Standing up to someone who belongs to a different ethnicity or race as we might be easy. Confronting ourselves, confronting myself, with these inner demons is hard. My wish is to some day say with certainty and confidence: i will stand for you, if youre not respected, if you are alone, if you are the only voice crying out for humanity against wild hords of evil crowds, readly awaiting tolynch you. Thats the goal of being humane, that is one of the few thingsworth fighting for.
Wtf? You're calling out people for mistreating people off of heritage or perceived heritage and yet you say every German specifically has to consider what injustices they've "committed" personally? You're talking down to people as groups while advocating against that very thing. You contradicted yourself in two sentences. How can you be this stupid?
Thank you for the lesson from history.
Sad
I grew up in Tulsa, left Oklahoma for years. I was never taught this in school. This just breaks my heart, especially since the woman elevator operator probably lied just to get attention.

That was as low down and dirty as it gets. I remember us throwing rocks at eachother back in the 80"s , I dont know why, we didn't even know eachother.

If reparations were ever appropriate, it would be the descendants of the Tulsa victims. Those who had accumulated significant resources had those resources literally stolen from them with the assistance of the City of Tulsa. By having those resources taken away, the government denied those persons due process of law and the opportunity to pass those resources down to their descendants.
And since the National Guard assisted in this atrocity the State of Oklahoma and perhaps even the federal government should be held liable (especially since World War I planes were used to bomb the victims).
BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT ALL OF THESE PERPETRATORS WENT TO THE SAME CHURCH AND SWORE UP AND DOWN THAT THEY "LOVE THE LORD!"
Unbelievable how many towns this occurred in - Tulsa, Okla, Rosewood, Fl, Wilmington, NC. Here in Wilmington, they have parks, roads, and bridges named after the murderers. Only recently with BLM protests did they change the name of our park. This history should be taught in every school - not to spread hate for each other, but to make needed change.
The BLM protests did $2 billion in damage -- the single most destructive civil disturbance ever in the history of this country. Not something to be proud of. Oh, and a number of BLM leaders are headed for jail for fraud.
Such a sad and brutal event. God Bless the victims.
You have people who wonder why we have Black history month. You won't learn about this in American history class. This also shuts down the notion of Blacks not starting their own businesses.
@kenj280: Yep THAT'S why they don't want the truth getting out. Cause it goes against the Racist Narrative that they are pushing (Blacks are lazy, don't wanna work, etc). When in reality Blacks have always been hard-working individuals, who HAD to be in order to achieve their dreams, and build their OWN wealth and empires.
They keep trying to find black graves in Tulsa, Oklahoma. But they can not find them.
😢😢😢😢😢
This is truly heartbreaking. I did not know about these events until 2 years ago, for the centennial of the massacre. This absolutely needs to be taught in school, so that this never happens again. If we cannot learn from the lessons of the past, we'll be damned to repeat them. Unfortunately, this would instantly be labeled CRT or Woke, or whatever idiotic term is used to protect their delicate sensibilities.
At 11:39 we see the attitude of white people who try to separate themselves from what their grandparents and great grandparents did, but don’t mind benefiting from what their forefathers did to get it.

These lands were given to the Native peoples of the Creek (Mvskoke) and Cherokee tribes for time and all eternity in the early 1830s, by all rights there should have been no white nor black people here to be fighting with each other. Yes a few black folks were killed and yes a few whites folks were killed in the riot. Yet no black or white folks would have been harmed in any way in Tulsa in 1921 if they had not murdered and burnt out the thousands of Natives that were rightfully here to begin with.
When oil was found under the land that had been given to the Creeks and Cherokee the treaties though still binding were discarded and Oil men of both white and black races flooded into what is now Tulsa. Burning out and killing any Indians that would not move aside and bow to the stream of 'progress.'
Before you shed tears or beat your chest for less than a few hundred black folks, think about the thousands of indians that were killed in the 50 some odd years prior to the 1921 riot as well as the thousands that were killed before and during the 1830s removal to Oklahoma.
If those black folks hadn't violated the treaties they wouldn't have been here to be involved in any race riot in 1921.
Status of limitation? What is he talking about
How will he feel if his ancestors were treated in such an appealing manner?
Remembrance, apologies, and reparations matter
I think if the decendants have the original deeds they should sue the city get their properties back even if huge building is erected in its it place. It was iligally acquired and should be returned.

The Education school board in 2019 voted to have the Tulsa race massacre taught in Oklahoma schools.
Amazingly sad to see that in the new episode (ruclips.net/video/yA8t8PW-OkA/видео.html) twenty years later, there is still no justice.
When you have to call the national guard and use war planes to subdue citizens you may have to reevaluate your self.
@Richard Bell: THAT part!!!👏
Still waiting on these mythical "mass graves" that no one can find.
They found ,them.look it up.yiu just want to denie what you see
ignorant
Tell me what other race has experienced this in America
All the Native Americans Nations, Japanese (WW2 internment camps), just to name a few... but this story not less tragic
l let us just see:

She is so right
The Question is. Do you think there will be another riot? Tywan Erby, June 27, 1973. Born and raised in Tulsa Oklahoma.
Interesting.
It was not a riot. It was a massacre. And, this story’s legacy is still being grappled with today. The truth always comes out. Even if it takes a hundred damn years, sometimes…. the truth always comes out.
Bill Graves is a horrible man. Is he related to Trump?
A good number of these people are still alive.
No. All of the survivors are now dead. Some of their descendants are around though. This is old footage.
For them to make postcards of the dead is terrible
Disgusting
It was a crime not a riot a massacre
Hate lasts in memory
What is with the use of the word ‘riot’ here? It was a massacre.
I've lived in Tulsa for many years...I've also lived in Kansas City when the black Panthers were fighting the national guard...in Peoria and Louisville when riots broke out over forced bussing . WHY is the MEDIA trying to stir up old wounds in a city that they don't give a damn about . What happened in Tulsa was horrible...so were the LA Riots . Is it a slow week in the media or are they trying to stir up sh!t in a small city they care nothing about . Why don't they do something about Washington DC and our senile president and his inept cabinet and let Tulsa heal it's own wounds !
