In 2021, the international media descended upon Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the centennial commemoration of the May 31-June 1, 1921, massacre in which a white mob killed more than three hundred African American residents, burned homes and businesses, and decimated a thriving town once referred to as "Black Wall Street."
