For generations, the true story was ignored, covered up, and diminished by those in power and in a position to preserve the status quo. Blending memoir and immersive journalism, RJ Young shows how, today, Tulsa combats its racist past while remaining all too tolerant of racial injustice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRequiem for the Massacre\u003c\/i\u003e is a cultural excavation of Tulsa one hundred years after one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. Young focuses on unearthing the narrative surrounding previously all-Black Greenwood district while challenging an apocryphal narrative that includes so-called Black Wall Street, Booker T. Washington, and Black exceptionalism. Young provides a firsthand account of the centennial events commemorating Tulsa's darkest day as the city attempts to reckon with its self-image, commercialization of its atrocity, and the aftermath of the massacre that shows how things have changed and how they have stayed woefully the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Tulsa and the United States head into the next one hundred years, Young’s own reflections thread together the stories of a community and a nation trying to heal and trying to hope.","brand":"Counterpoint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216598757631,"sku":"9781640096165","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781640096165_s600x595.jpg?v=1775581599","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781640096165","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
