"In 1921, Tulsa's Greenwood District, known then as the nation's "Black Wall Street" was... prosperous, but a white mob, inflamed by rumors... invaded...How did a feud between the editiors of Oklhoma's black-owned newspapers influence events? Why were law enforcement officials in Tulsa under nvestigation before the "riot" even began?...The Tusa Massacre was the result of racial animosity and mistrust within a culture of political and econimic corruption.
