The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.
Tulsa Massacre Was a ‘Coordinated, Military-Style Attack,’ Federal Report Says

Racist landlord headed to prison for stealing identities of Black tenants to get COVID benefits

The Black Christmas Boycott in Greenville, NC, was a non-violent protest in late 1963. Facing job discrimination due to Jim Crow laws, the black community boycotted Christmas products from businesses with discriminatory hiring, avoiding gifts and decorations, and later adopted a Christmas blackout.
