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.
The events of the Tulsa massacre and bodies of the murdered black people were photographed and turned into souveneir postcards.
