I hate that I learned about that event from a fucking Watchmen HBO show. What the actual fuck.

Over 54 (some records 500) people died. Shit is crazy

Thought Oklahoma actually did change their standards to add it

I didn't learn about the Tulsa riots until I was out of high school, and it was only because I bothered to read a related topic and came across it. I never watched the Tulsa show that referenced it but I remembered the Lovecraft County episode I caught once.

I really don’t understand how the discrepancy is so high for a semi modern event

Fr, i mean to be fair, freedman’s birth records were just then starting to become important, they burned that whole city to the ground, and black people used to go missing all the time during that time Like most records involving black liberation. Most of the records were only preserved because the black community sought to remember it. We wouldn’t know about Fred Hampton murder if it wasn’t for the pregnant partner surviving

It makes sense when you remember the casualties were primarily black people and the state government didn’t give a fuck if they died.

I was going to say I think it was included in my Oklahoma history class
