For years no one talked about what happened May 31-June 1 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Then the incident leaving hundreds dead and thousands homeless was branded as the Tulsa Race Riots when in fact it was the Tulsa Massacre.

What happened was not taught in schools and only now, authors like Carole Boston Weatherford are telling the story using words and images that children and adults can understand.
