Black History Studies in association with PCS presents “Before They Die!: A film chronicling the survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot and their quest for justice.”

It was the worst race riot in the history of the United States; however, most people have never heard of it. Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1921, in less than 24 hours the prosperous African-American section of Greenwood, also known as “Black Wall Street,” was completely destroyed. An estimated 300 were killed and over 10,000 people displaced, as a 42 square block area of their homes and businesses were burned to the ground by a white mob that had been deputized by the sheriff.

This documentary is the story of the survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot and their quest for justice. There are only 45 survivors still alive today.

There will be a discussion after the screening. Bring a pen!

I think this is the grossest travesty know to man. The whites didn't want us to be self-sufficient. The God I serve will bring Vengeance and Recompense to those who participated in this unnecessary massacre.
