Remembering the Tulsa Race Massacre

REMEMBERING

On May 31, 1921, the Tulsa Race Massacre began in Tulsa, Oklahoma

On May 31, 1921, the Tulsa Race Massacre began in Tulsa, Oklahoma, unfolding into what historians consider the single worst incident of racial violence in American history.

Over the course of 18 agonizing hours, a white mob invaded and systematically destroyed Greenwood—a vibrant, affluent, predominantly Black community famously known as “Black Wall Street.” Hundreds of thriving Black-owned businesses, homes, churches, and hospitals were looted and burned to the ground. It’s estimated that between 50 and 300 Black residents were killed, with hundreds more injured. The assault left thousands of residents homeless, completely shattering a community that had built unparalleled economic self-sufficiency.

105 YEARS AGO TODAY

For decades, the tragedy was largely omitted from history books and public discourse. Today, the Tulsa Race Massacre stands as a profound reminder of racial injustice and the enduring resilience of the Greenwood community.

Join Sorting Soup:

“Sorting the Firehose of information”

Thursday, June 3rd @5:00pm Central / 6:00pm Eastern – ZOOM

Sorting Soup is our weekly gathering where we make sense of the “firehose of information” — serving up news, court cases, and cultural sparks to find the truth (and maybe a little humor) in the mix.

Thursdays @5PM — we ladle out the week’s headlines, taste-test the facts, and stir up action steps for change.

At the heart of Sorting Soup is the belief that Self‑Care is Radical Resistance — because even revolutions need nourishment.

Like the story of Stone Soup, everyone brings something to the pot: knowledge, curiosity, and the courage to show up.

“The New Map Wars:

How Gerrymandering Is Rewriting

American Democracy”

Ed Spire, NWSOFA-Indivisible’s Restore Our Democracy lead

Thursday, June 4th @7:00pm Central / 8:00pm Eastern – ZOOM

_Across the country, partisan redistricting has escalated into a full-scale arms race, with aggressive map-drawing efforts—often supported by courts—reshaping political power and distorting fair representation._

> This discussion will break down how both parties are engaging in hardball tactics, why so-called “safe” districts are becoming increasingly unreliable in a shifting political landscape, and how these strategies are undermining democratic accountability and public trust. We will explore how current gerrymandering trends are influencing control of Congress and what that means for voters.

> Most importantly, we will focus on solutions. Learn about practical reforms and strategies that can help end the map wars and restore power to voters. Whether you are a longtime advocate or newly engaged, this is a critical conversation for anyone concerned about the future of our democracy.
