On #ThisDayInHistory in 1921, the #TulsaRaceMassacre began. Residents of #Greenwood gathered to prevent a #lynching and faced a deputized racist mob. 35 square blocks were burnt down and up to 300 murdered, wrecking #BlackWallStreet, the most prosperous black community in the US.

#History is not learnt through statues or #plantation tours. Any surviving #antebellum plantations should be seized and turned into museums to the American Holocaust that was #slavery and #JimCrow. Romanticizing the #OldSouth is an insult to historical memory and needs to end.
