The History Of The Tulsa Race Riots
The KKK is one of the most cruel and deadly terrorist groups in all of United States History. They focus on white supremacy and are notorious for targeting and terrorizing poor black families in the south. Some of their most notable incidents that got them on the map were the Tulsa Race Riots and the killing of three civil rights activists.
One of the biggest devastations in the 20th century was the Tulsa Race Riot, committed by the KKK. Following World War 1, Tulsa held one of the largest African American communities in the country. Tulsa was referred to as “Black Wall Street” due to its thriving business district. The riots started when a young black man, Dick Rowland was accused of raping a white woman, Sarah Page, while riding in an elevator
