Indeed, the Tulsa Massacre is much in the news lately.
Deservedly so. Long time coming.
As I've read and watched various accounts of that deplorable day two things have stuck with me:
1. The astonishing revelation that students of the Tulsa school system ...be they now in their 50's or 30's or today's teenagers.....had never been taught about that day. Reported interviews stated that most had never ever heard of it. And they lived in Tulsa!!
That absolutely amazes me.
2. And then second, that some news outlets are devoting airtime, or page space brings to mind today's Jewish mantra about the Holocaust-----"Never forget".
I am persuaded that the focus on those events, their costs and ramifications must be revealed, spoken about. and taught. And not forgotten.
It is right and just to do so. And it is time.
IMHO
