On this day in 1921, The Tulsa Race Massacre happened in the affluent black community of Greenwood in Tulsa known as the Black Wall Street.

White supremacists killed more than 300 African Americans. They looted and burned to ground black homes and businesses.

99 Years Ago on this day the black part of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Black Wall Street, was reduced to rubble. Look it up. The bottom photo reads "Captured Negros On Way To Convention Hall- During Tulsa Race Riot, June 1, 1921" #TulsaMassacre #TulsaRaceRiots #Tulsa

Two years before his death, the French made African American pilot Eugene Bullard a Knight of the Legion of Honor for his brave service in WWI; on August 23, 1994, thirty-three years after his death, the United States Air Force appointed him a Second Lieutenant. #otd #tih

Folks, I'm telling you,
birthing is hard
and dying is mean-
so get yourself
a little loving
in between.

"The magnitude of the killing is harrowing, all the more so when paired with the circumstances of individual lynchings: Parks Banks, lynched in Mississippi for carrying a photo of a white woman; Caleb Gadly, hanged in Kentucky for walking behind the wife of his white employer..”

“Parker was in front of the portrait, and I really wanted her to turn around so I could get a picture with her, and she genuinely, honestly would not turn around.”

"I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
I believe in all the beauty they have inside.
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier."

18 days, 54 miles, 1 police attack, 1,900 National Guard troops, 2,000 U.S. Army soldiers and countless stories later, 600 civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery — and changed history.

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
