- Is American history fact or fiction? Much of what we learn in school is wrong, because it is told from the white male perspective. Journalist Elaine Appleton Grant tells the story of the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, and how learning about the conspiracy of silence around this tragedy transformed the most important relationship in her life -- and why exposing the untold stories about race in America has the power to heal our personal relationships, our communities and our divided nation.

IT WAS HIDDEN BECAUSE THERE IS A HUGE CHECK TO BE PAID TO THESE PEOPLE
@Steven Allen there are over 100 from 1866 through world war 2. A new site blackmassscreproject . org has the information.
@Steven Allen You are on point.........now they want to pretend that they are just hearing about Tulsa.......yeah right. One thing they love to brag about is generational wealth..........where/who.....did MANY of them get it from? Oh but when we talk about our stories of atrocities that their ancestors committed...........they tell us......”that was the past....move on”.
@@dianebozeman5275 l no boo
It was a crime scene covered up by the government.
@Steven Allen 20 is not even close.
I moved to Tulsa when I was in the 6th grade and no it was not taught in school. I found out about this massacre on you tube. America shame on you, shame on you America.
We’ve ALL been deliberately miseducated. Who benefits? Educate yourself to understand America.
Exactly 👏👏
They are still trying to brush this under the rug. It takes all of us to fight to get this taught in schools.
Amerikkka
@Margaret Kpeh Do today's immigrants have the SAME RIGHTS as those "European settlers" who used superior weapons to decimate the Native Americans? What about the Sand Creek massacre? What about the Trail of Tears?
You wrote, "The British and French Canadians gave weapons to the Indians to kill European settlers who defected from the monarchies of Europe." That is NOT how the land was taken from the First American People. This country was settled PRIMARILY by British settlers with GUNS. I think the purpose of this lady's lecture was to get people to look at TRUTH, and move in TRUTH. As long as we lie and try to rewrite history, there will be lack of progress in human relations.
1906 Atlanta Massacre, Rosewood Massacre the list goes on but we are the Savages and we are the violent ones
Yup.
Same assholes that tried to wipe out an entire nation. Nothing changed. The only difference is; they hide behind a letter. "D" & "R".

@@ladyofspa yes ma’am I’m aware some self inflicted wounds caused by our ancestors in there too but these I mentioned was far beyond of what TMH told the 70 shepherds
They are passing Laws so it can not be taught in schools in 2021. Wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by telling the truth.
But theyll teach your boys to be girls
Correct hurt feelings is a part of it! But then the white nationalists wouldn't want to pay out what is owed: respect to fellow human beings, exposing the truth of African American contributions to America and of course the financial compensation owed to make right the blocking of economic growth to African American owned businesses.
@@mrlr9602 I agree whole heartily, teaching that Satanic mess. Mitch McCornells (Rep) and his clan can not stop this one there are other towns that was Prospering: Roswood, NC, Detroit, Chicago etc.
It's Americans History it must be taught in schools.

They won't do it because what happened was in Tulsa was shameful, and would make a lot of people uncomfortable too bad if it happened to European Americans, they would MAKE SURE everyone knows.
I think We tend to not fully understand racism for one reason: white people usually don’t have to go through it
I don't think that's a valid excuse. I'm not LGBTQ but I know and understand that homophobia and bigotry exists; I'm not Jewish but I know that anti-semitism exist; I'm not Muslim....you get the picture. I don't accept that people don't know. That people don't know about the extent of racism neither past, nor present. That people choose to avoid what is avoidable to them, that is something else and it is by choice.
I think we all in some way have been racially profiled in one or another. Maybe not to the extent of dieing like these folks were. I was a short white guy. Who do you think got picked last for most sports? Until I proved myself I was always last. Not to take away from this terrible massacre but in some ways we've all experienced some sort of racism. Just a tought.
@@HerseySyntheticOil I think what you're describing here is more akin prejudice. We've all experienced various forms of prejudice. Racial discrimination however, attempts to reduce/dehumanize or invalidate someone based on something as inane as skin color. In your scenario, there is then no way a person can then "prove their worth" to the group/ society at large who thinks this way. Trying to understand another's perspective is vitally important in this climate but, we have to be careful not to engage is the oppression Olympics because it does negate or delegitimize someone else's experience. If you don't know what it's like, that is okay too.
Every human being on the planet has been discriminated against. Less intelligent, less attractive, handicapped, injured, poor, sick, etc all know how it feels. We need to start connecting and not playing victim. This statement is toxic and disingenuous.
aka we don’t care to really know
I kind of laugh when people in this country claim to have a History degree. I would give it the equivalent of a grade school degree because you know they weren't taught real American history.
Depends how you look at it. Just like a highway that runs through a city. Just passing by. You can still be correct. But unless you live there?! You don't know what really goes on. So there are many truths. Just not not the whole truth.
@@ricklodestein1101 👄Doesn't depend on how you look it! Depends on what you are taught...whitewashed history is not truth!! You were taught a lie...by omission of the truth!!

I saw the movie on local tv on a weekend about 5 years ago. It was labeled "based on a true story." I was not only shocked/horrified this happened but that it was covered up buried in history.
Do you mean a documentary? Will you please share the title? Thanks.
What's the name of the documentary?
European-American Violence was, and still is, the greatest domestic terror threat that we face in this country.
And others! Palestine☹
In the world!
Bull Corn. You heard that from Mr. Potato Head. Your biggest threat is falling for a Democrat politicians lies again.
@@earlofmar7987 Yes
Your sentence does not make sense. The Whig Party/ Democrat KKK members, were primarily English. It was The Whigs, that brought the slaves, that established the Plantations. Then the Scot's arrived in 1700's, they hated the English & hated Slavery. Neither are considered European. The Scot's beat the English during the Revolutionary War. But they kept coming back. They armed the Tecumseh Indians, to attack settlers up near the Great Lakes. Burned the White House, invaded Baltimore and invaded Louisiana. All within 3 years. 1812-1815. Then these same Democrats started a Civil War, and guess who supported them and gave them gold.....The English.
If you are curious, research "Red Summer". This happened in many cities across the US. She hit the nail on the head when she said, these events were called "race riots" when in fact they were more like massacres/ethnic cleansings.
Missing from the white woman's stiry: The names of the 3 living survivors (ages 100, 106, & 107) who recently testified b4 Congress, and have to beg fo restitution. Shame. Shame. Shame.
👄The WW who backed the original accusations refuted them, again, generations later. She admitted, at the time, that she hadn't been harmed, yet the destruction continued.
ha! ha! stiry in that one guys voice today, I like that!
Agreed
@Great White You're willing to inherit money you didn't earn, aren't you?
@Great White Because you are still benefiting with no recognition nor recompense.
You have to ask the question, why have SO many stories of race atrocities been hidden, or not brought up from history... Does all the negative race events in history paint a bad picture on america's brand?
Yes..it does...it has meaning... January 6th ..same meaning..
The same reason why they are trying to bury Jan 6th 2021.
It might help to stop calling it race atrocities and just start calling it white violence.
@@mayamichelle6741 More like genocide
They just don’t want to pay 🤷🏾♀️ as simple as that!!!
I'm a descendent of this atrocity and my great grandmother who lived it would talk about it every Sunday after church. I was born in Tulsa and later moved to Oklahoma city. This was never taught in school yet we learned of the Alamo, Boston tea party, trail of tears etc.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Something Elain is distorting is that US History lessons center around large change events. Lessons about race in these curriculums tend to revolve around two time periods: The Civil War era and the Civil Rights era. Both of these eras contain multiple atrocities and events that help people understand lessons to be learned from what was perpetrated by some in an inhumane culture. I noticed you omitted these events taught in every school. You learned about the Boston Tea Party as part of the bigger era of change, The American Revolutionary War, So, my point in saying this is that this strategy is used for all subjects found in US history and there are many important events that are not included because they did not happen in an era of change dominated by that subject. Both you and the speaker’s implication is that the education system doesn’t teach about racism because this specific event is not taught, but of course that is not true.
It might be a fruitful exercise to imagine 244 years of historic events condensed into a 3-4 month class that meets for 3 hours each week. Obviously 244 years of nonstop US History doesn’t fit into that amount of time, so it is not a question of racism, coverup, or even lack of desire but strategy to pick eras with large groups of events that teach similar lessons.
What is so tragic is that this was done by "good Christian people" who claim to love Jesus. The bible says that if you don't love your brother who you see everyday, you cannot love God, who you have never seen.
Good Christian people obviously doesn't mean ethical, compassionate, or empathetic people.
@@richardkatz8713 You hit the nail right on its head.
That's beautiful!! Where in The Bible can this be found? I have only read to 2 Chronicles so far so I have a ways to go before I finish it.
@@xbrandi12345x Hello Brandi....this is found in 1 John 4:20. The actual verse reads as follows (NIV version): "Whoever claims to love God yet hates his brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen."
By definition a Christian is a Heathen!
I am a foreigner and these massacres hurt me to the core. To think the leaders participated in such carnage!!! I am aghast!!!
Welcome to the good ol U.S. of A. If you want to know about this place, just ask the Native Americans and African Americans, we got all the dirt on em

And This is why "some" people don't want critical race theory taught
No! The key word is theory. Change that to facts and we might agree on the subject.
And your point 🙄 facts are facts
Exactly!
@@ricklodestein1101 "Critical race facts" lol. You obviously have no idea what the word "theory" refers to in the context of academia. Of course, critical race theory, much to the dismay of conservatives, is based in historical fact, but I'm going to assume your ability to examine society and history from a sociological perspective is limited.
@@ricklodestein1101 Let's try teaching ALL the FACTS of American History!

This is the story and the history of America ingrained racial history in this country. This country was built on racism and it is why today in May 2021 Mitch McConnell leader of senate republican party openly campaigns to stop any teaching about racism in regards to people of color in this country. If you don't acknowledged it, it didn't happen. Out of sight, out of mind.
They are moving it again..... have you heard recently in the news when most CEOS say “I don’t understand why people are focusing on college. College is not important. And you don’t need it to be successful.” The goal line is being moved. The wealthy is focusing on entrepreneurship.

Makes me glad I'm not American.
Wow! I never thought about how “race riots” technically involved massacres. We need to tell ALL of the events of history. At the end of the day, we as human beings have to be open to the experiences of others. Just because racism isn’t happening to you doesn’t make others experience with it invalid or imagined.

It is so sad what jealousy can create. It is beyond prejudice. Pure jealousy. Self contained town, and no one is depending in the majority. So what was the problem?
Jealousy! That's problem and boy can it consume.
They hate to know they are NOT the only humans who walk the planet.
Jealousy mixed with racial resentment, to be more precise. Jealousy is a pretty common human emotion, but in normal circumstances it can be controlled. When you throw in a sense of racial entitlement or superiority, however, jealousy is allowed to rage unchecked as a way of "righting" the situation.
It's not jealousy, it's an ancient Biblical hate. One that GOD/YAH will deal with on the Day of the LORD. History is not the only lie or cover-up of truths, even the church won't tell the truth and they know it, they're hiding it. But, it's written in the Bible for all to read. Just like the Bible tells us that in the end, hidden truths will come out and knowledge will increase, it also tells us the punishment for those who did and hid their evils. You can find that in Joel Chapter 3. It's a short chapter and easy to understand.
@Valerie Blount, "Self contained town, and no one is depending in the majority. So what was the problem?" They weren't depended on any one for a living that was the problem.
We live in a brutal and unforgiving country. They should pay these folks every penny for what they done to them.
They should give their descendants back the land that they took! This is absolutely heartbreaking.
They should also find the surviving killers and pay them a long overdue visit.

Justice AND forgiveness stand shoulder to shoulder. Justice demands some form of reparations. Forgiveness is the letting go of persistent ill will with its revenge, retaliation and retribution fantasies. Dr. Robert Enright’s “Forgiveness is a Choice” is the gold standard of evidence-based forgiveness practice. He is also on UA-cam. Let’s move forward in 2021 and not get stuck in resentment.
How do you forgive those that want no forgiveness or think they did no wrong?

CANDICE OWENS RUCKUS will somehow convince the right that this never happened
It happened, but this story continues to be completely embellished. B Wall Street was a functioning neighborhood with hard-working people but most of the people were by no means affluent. The 19 year old accused of attempted assault never claimed to trip and fall in the elevator. He attacked the 17 year old girl after the elevator doors were closed and she screamed and opened the door with scratches on her face and hands. He ran away. The store keeper did not automatically call the cops and make a false accusation. Shopkeepers heard the girl scream and came to see if she needed help. The police were called after she told them what happened to her. The riot started with armed Bs killing around 10 Ws. The majority of the city was W and in response about 30 Bs were killed. The claim that at least 300 Bs were killed is completely made up, there is no evidence for it and these r@ce grifters are out there excavating Tulsa right now hoping to find b0dies to inflate the numbers. All in the service of inflating grievances. This all started with a B 19 year old assaulting a W 17 year old and then armed Bs killed about 10 Ws. This was insane and the response was obviously insane as well, but the condescending false narratives that treat a functioning B district as if it was the source of envy and jealousy reveals the big0try of low expectations and the desire to inflate the number of b0dies shows the perverse incentive of people who benefit from creating divisions in society by inflaming tensions with this obviously false narrative that W people are all bad and B people are all good. The truth is always much more nuanced and in the case of Tulsa it’s not just more nuanced, it’s completely different than this revisionist propaganda. I’m curious to hear if Candace will or has ever commented on this cuz it would be a prime example of the type of lies and false narratives used to perpetuate a victim-complex in her community that she often speaks against.

One would have to truly see another before being moved to have eyes of compassion. If an individual is choosing to not understand the multiple atrocities that took place that affected African Americans were crippled financially, red lined disenfranchised in regards to housing and economical opportunities. We pay reparations to everyone even countries that we have bombed to help them rebuild but it is only when it comes to African descendants that we question where is the money coming from and who is going to pay it when the majority are the only ones to have benefited from the destruction of others. Native American, Asians who helped to build the railroads along with poor with the indigenous of all cultures.

Thank you for sharing as many others seek to reveal the facts and not just what makes us feel comfortable because the shaping of America is one founded on blood and greed no matter the cost.
German here: I can only say that remembering and facing your past is painful - and healing.
Let historians do their work and teach what they have found out.
By doing so you can at least have a clear picture of what happened.
Do not gloss over things or avoid uncomfortable truths. It will not hurt you, it will only hurt your feelings. And whoever did horriible things 100 years ago is mostly dead now. So, putting these to trial is not possible anymore.
What happened in Germany between 1933 - 1945 is by no way comparable to the Tulsa Massacre or any other event in US history.
The only comparable thing perhaps is, that the generation who was responsible back then tried to forget everything and wanted "to get over it".
You can have a better understanding of what you are today if you remember.
Because what we are today is because of what our ancestors did in the past. Simple as that.
But be aware: there are lots of people who do not want to remember. They either do not want to be exposed or want their peace of mind to be disturbed. Those will find any reason not to support remembering and facing the past.
Every victim has the right to be remembered.
Every deed has to be remembered and we all have to face what the past was.
Simple as that.
Another lesson to me is also important:
What is broken can be repaired. You cannot make things undone. But you can repair a society to a certain extent.
By remembering you realize what was wrong in the past and what needs to be adressed today.
Can we "learn" from the past? To a certain extent - yes.
But this is an ongoing task.
But we violent...and we are the Savages
A MASTERPIECE!
Corporate media will never provide the real story.
When they fear they destroy and turn their true selves but yet we have to be humble and act like it’s ok.
Thank you for sharing this, I learned about the Tulsa massacre along with the Tuskegee experiment for the first time a few years ago, it shocked me although it didn’t surprised me. These incidents need to be shared, there’s a lot of people in this country that doesn’t know about this, can you imagine any German citizen not knowing about the atrocities of the 3rd reich?
Google Wilmington North Carolina
I always wondered if some of those mass graves was the reason why it took three years for the construction that eventually got done on Lewis just north of ORU. 3yrs to fix about a mile and a half of road?
Thank you for being, authentic and truth telling. 🌹❤️🌹❤️
That prom story got me. 🥺
why is this catlady lying about this event?
The fact that she’d never 'heard' of this event speaks not of lack of quality in the school but more likely a lack of quality in her teachers or hers’ as a student if not as a sentient human-being.
I suppose life would be easy if, literally, EVERYTHING was taught in schools but that is neither particularly useful nor practical if we expect people to be able to actually graduate before entering the prime years of their lives as functioning members of society.
The schools she’d attended no doubt each had and likely still have admirable libraries containing at least one book, certainly a scrap of microfiche, offering text, perhaps with photos or illustrations - even if slanted one way or another as they very often were - recounting the events in that town on that day.
So, what’s the answer? Why had she and so many others failed to learn about Tulsa 1921 before now?
Simply stated, schools don’t often tell students what I had the good fortune to be told as early as my high school years. That school doesn’t exist to teach you everything but to show you how to learn ‘for yourself.’ To think about what you’ve been taught , as well as the world as it was in the past and is today and consider if, after this 'teaching' your own understanding seems truly complete or incomplete. If not, having been educated should prepared you to feel compelled to look deeper, read further, search for more information and compare seeming opposing accounts about any given subject or event and everything else that so much as may be even moderately related to it. Be cautious about regarding confirmation as information. Find oppositions that offer similar accounts. Reach for both ends and sift for truth in the middle. Accept that it will probably never be entirely clear or accurate … but you will be closer to the truth.
Accrue a library of your own as best you can and make use of public libraries whenever you feel you need to. Find the largest public library that’s near you. Get a library card.
Going to a library can easily become addictive but, in time, you’ll eventually be astounded for learning how much you DON’T know as well as all you discover. You’ll become excited by how. quickly you can learn more about almost anything that’s ever been part of the world we live in. Indeed, the very universe itself. Because events continually occur, knowledge continually increases. Meaning you can always learn more and UNLEARN outdated information.
I’ve known about The Tulsa Massacre since I was a teenager. I’m nearly 70 now and I’ve very often found myself a bit astounded by how many and how much people I’ve met over the years don’t know while pontificating about one thing or another. Sometimes even extending their, so-called, thoughts about whatever it is they’re discussing. Often going on brashly citing their bonafides as being ‘educated.’ Much to my surprise this has even extended to people who work in education - Teachers!
Over time, I came to sense that American pride is no more than hubris based on our society’s bent toward defining everything American as 'exceptional' when compared to other nations and people and leading overwhelming numbers of Americans to overvalue everything about themselves. Especially regarding to how 'informed' they are.
Now, here, we have a college educated 'historian' who’d never 'FOUND" the Tulsa Massacre till it had been splashed everywhere. As though a cause celebre - nearly 60 years after I, myself, at a much younger age had without benefit of focussed direction at an institution of higher learning simply because I 'wanted' to know more about what had gone on in world during the preceding centuries in order to better understand the world and people who’re part of the time I live in now. A naive grasp for truth that took me through a lot more than Tulsa 1921.
Having not been taught to do so, too many people in America and, in fact, the world, never do this. Not even to learn anything about what happens today.
Y’all should’ve had Yvette Carnell speak on this. No worries, ADOS on Juneteenth at 7pm be there.
It had nothing to do with race, that is the cover story. Its about what it has always been: jealousy, envy, pride, HATE!
And race
Why are people in the comments talking about something being hidden when you can easily look this up online or goto a library? Is reading a book really that hard?
Why do we need someone else to teach us their perspective when we can research and develop our own?
We don't understand Racism because it's not actually Racism, it's SCAPE GOATING which is a byproduct of low self worth and insecurity that is passed from generation to generation as early childhood conditioning and training. We are taught early on, by those already emotionally damaged to find a SCAPE GOAT to punish and take out our unhappiness and anger on which MAGICALLY makes us feel much better - for a while. It's so simple it's complicated but it just boils down to an attempt to go from low self worth to higher self worth by looking down on and PUNISHING a carefully selected SCAPE GOAT - Just like the Nazis did with the Jews in WWII and ppl of color have long been the favorite SCAPE GOATS of American culture. It may look like Racism but it's just plain old self enhancement by dissing others or other things.....and it works for most folks which is why it so (secretly) popular. You can instantly raise your low self worth and insecurity by dissing or attacking someone else! The Nazis may be the most glaring example of that basic principle in modern times.
I’m not even here to watch the video, just to let folks know on Juneteenth, the ADOS conference is going down. 7pm be there.
GOD SEES AND JUDGES!!!
That's helpful.
Karmas real too. I wish death and despair on all the participants, and their offspring for eternity.
May the truth be told! 🗽☮️
Great speech and info
Great three questions as some usually benefits from the way history is told and it's usually the writer, who's usually the victor or the one in power!
Thanks too your ANCESTORS but your day is coming 👹
Another current impact of these race massacres is that while most of these are not talked about by the general public, the families of the descendants know and share stories among themselves. This means there are so many Americans with a completely different perspective of American history. Add in wealth inequality and current racism and the result is people living in such completely different realities socially, economically and historically that it’s as if we’re not all even in the same country. This is why hearing “Make America Great Again” necessarily raised the questions: when was America great, and for who?
Thank you for telling this story..
He trips, steps on her foot touches her arm.....she screams
What happened to 'Believe women'??
It should be taken seriously not believed on hearing
She ALWAYS told the truth and did never lie for them.
So YES, you can Believe the woman. Innocent until proven Guilty, Law and Order…
This is what critical race theory is all about.
And even that is only the beginning of it! 🎯
Theory? Big difference between theories and truth.
@@ricklodestein1101 Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Niels Bhor, Richard Feynman, Stephen Hawking and myriad of others would agree with you! 😳
Celebrating racial conflict? Yup, seems to be.
Children armed and shooting. This is the definition of tribalism.
Fast forward a century later, the beat goes on..........
Yea Africa is full of soldiers children
This is a very important Sad story that needs to be told… change! Awareness!
@secondson64 i like your style
Tulsa is one of many cities built and destroyed.Tulsa is only one of many worse things America has done to African Americans.Please dont think this is the worst. Theres so so so many worse stories.
It's funny how people keep beating you and saying get up at the same time, there is a rope snatching you back down.
We also shouldn't keep giving them that rope. We have a responsibility!! Those were former slaves who built a successful city together, what is our excuse.
@@chayil7489 Those were our people.... All of them! And the new one's.... At this point we have no more to discuss. The Most High will speak for his people. As he has been doing. Game over!
Revelation 18:6
“Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.”
@@chayil7489 this is not the only example through many years. Read more buddy.
That was 1921. What about the Red Lining, denial of loans in 60, 70s, 80s, preventing from owning land? Every step forward they circumvented our self reliance
@@MM-ng5wc They don't have a clue! But they are barking up the wrong tree! The Most High is about to put the dogs down!
How can anyone give this a "thumbs down" -
Angry white people who do not want to look at the reality that America is built on racism.
History matters!!!
Thank you Elaine
And that ladies, gents and nongendered, is an ALLY. 💯
