スミソニアン博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (スミソニアン博物館Instagram)「Today in 1921, the deadliest racial massacre in U.S. history began in the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a thriving African American community known as "Black Wall Street." It was sparked by the imprisonment of Dick Rowland, a black man falsely accused of assaulting a white woman. A lynch mob gathered to hang Rowland. Black Tulsans hurried to the courthouse to protect him. For two days, white mobs ransacked, razed and burned over a thousand properties, and murdered hundreds of African American residents. No one knows exactly how many people died and no one was ever convicted. The story was rarely told in the decades that followed, but dozens of black-owned businesses were rebuilt. This penny is one of the ones gathered in the aftermath by George Monroe, a five-year-old survivor, that are now in our @nmaahc's collection. #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory」6月1日 3時30分
