Description:A century after the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre decimated a thriving Black community, nine city council members are grappling with the Greenwood community’s ongoing fight for racial justice and repair. Journalist Kristal Brent Zook shows how these elected officials have struggled to talk to one another, and to work together, in an effort to attain justice.In 2021, the international media descended upon Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the centennial commemoration of the May 31–June 1, 1921, massacre in which a white mob killed more than three hundred African American residents, burned homes and businesses, and decimated a thriving town once referred to as “Black Wall Street.” Tulsa Speaks is about the ongoing work of the Tulsa City Council, both before the Centennial and afterward, when the cameras were no longer trained on the city. It dives deep into the interpersonal dynamics among the nine councilors, exploring the continuing fight for reparations and racial justice and the long-running efforts of the sole African American councilor, Vanessa Hall-Harper of District 1, to bring repair to Greenwood.Tulsa, like many municipal bodies across the country, serves as a hopeful sign of what we might become, as Americans and as a microcosm of race relations in America today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
