You mean the Tulsa Race Massacre...apparently that is the preferred nomenclature.

Unfortunately I think that's the reality.

I saw this today, either I was taught Oklahoma history incorrectly but this name does not seem to be a fair statement.

It’s exactly what it was. There wasn’t really any riot to it.

Massacre or mass lynching. Take your pick as both are a better description than “riot”.

If you were taught anything about it you were well ahead of my education. Growing up the in the late 60s early 70s I managed to take a semester of Oklahoma history including Tulsa history in the Tulsa Public School System without the subject ever being mentioned.
