Dear Reader,

This week marks 100 years since the Tulsa massacre, in which a violent white mob burned down a thriving Black community in Oklahoma. It was a disgusting display of racism and brutality — a 48-hour period that obliterated the lives and futures of an entire neighborhood.

I’m sure many of you have heard of the Tulsa massacre. But I want to talk about Greenwood, for just a moment. About the vibrancy, and beauty, of this sacred and self-sufficient Black community that blossomed in the middle of the Jim Crow era.
