The Tulsa Race Massacre has received a lot of attention 100 years. I understand that white participants kept quiet about the events, and newspapers minimized it as a race riot. Trying to find Dr. King's speech in Tulsa in 1960, he doesn't seem to mention it. Was it forgotten by the Black community?
