The Tulsa race riot, sometimes referred to as the Tulsa massacre,[4][5][6][7] Tulsa pogrom,[8][9][10] or Tulsa race massacre, took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when a mob of white citizens attacked black residents and businesses of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[1] This is considered one of the worst incidents of racial violence in the history of the United States.[11] The attack, carried out on the ground and by air, destroyed more than 35 blocks of the district, at the time the wealthiest black community in the United States.
