Hey Cruel Coven!

Today, Tori is going to be informing you about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, a 100-year-old event of mass chaos, murder, and destruction in Tulsa, Oklahoma. From May 31st of 1921 through June 1st of 1921, an angry white mob descended on Black Wall Street in the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, a thriving community founded and built up by Black business owners. What unfolded during those hours was complete hell for the entire Black community. Please listen today, because chances are, you've never even heard about this awful period of history that is still affecting the Tulsa community to this very day.

K. Love you. Byeee.
