Question for research: The Tulsa Race Massacre
Research question: Why did African Americans’ upward mobility, as expressed
in Tulsa’s Greenwood District, threaten notions of white supremacy and lead to
racial violence?

could not exploit the black community’s self-reliance. Presented initially as a defense of white women, sources show this is a more accurate cause of the
Tulsa Race Massacre.
five to six primary sources and at least two
secondary sources.
