Episode 106 | Historical Events

In this History episode we focus on May 31st and June 1st, 1921 — the 18 hours in which an armed white mob, assisted by city officials and the National Guard, burned 35 blocks of Greenwood, the most prosperous Black community in America, to the ground, killing between 100 and 300 people and leaving 10,000 homeless while the historical record was suppressed for decades.

Nobody was ever charged. The land where Greenwood stood is now partly a highway.
