Even with the larger microphone, he could not get one person or organization to stand with him to seek justice and recompense. It wasn't until he started getting traction with commissioning the \u003cstrong\u003e\"Tulsa Race Riot Report\" \u003c\/strong\u003eand the building of the Greenwood Cultural Center that he starts getting buy-in from others. But even with that, people weren't as interested in telling the story or uncovering \"Tulsa's Dirty Little Secret\", but in what ways they can profit from his life's work and heavy lifting. The only thing that has changed is that now it's getting national attention. The profiteers are still out there, but the story is being told!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aftermath of this \u003cstrong\u003emassacre\u003c\/strong\u003e left a permanent scar not only on the \u003cstrong\u003eGreenwood community\u003c\/strong\u003e (which, by the way, was a 35+ block community, not just one street) but on \u003cstrong\u003eTulsa, Oklahoma\u003c\/strong\u003e as well.

Consequently, Tulsa has not reached its fullest potential because of this hated and jealousy of a prosperous black community in the early 1900s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12765846\"\u003eDonald Ross\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mission Critical Consulting Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781737241812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1737241811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036130\"\u003eUnited States | State \u0026amp; Local | Southwest (AZ, NM, OK, TX)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mission Critical Consulting Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43832817844363,"sku":"9781737241812","price":21.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_c3325028-28b3-4ba5-ae34-ff0a57a12169.jpg?v=1755623732","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/pillage-of-hope-a-family-history-from-the-trail-of-tears-slavery-segregation-the-1921-race-massacre-and-beyond-9781737241812","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
