about

Nearly a century ago, a white mob descended on Greenwood, a successful black economic hub in Tulsa, Oklahoma then-known as “Black Wall Street,” and burned it to the ground. Some members of the mob had been deputized and armed by city officials. In what is now known as the “Tulsa Race Massacre,” the mob destroyed 35 square blocks of Greenwood, burning down more than 1,200 black-owned houses, scores of businesses, a school, a hospital, a public library, and a dozen black churches. The American Red Cross, carrying out relief efforts at the time, said the death toll was around 300, but the exact number remains unknown. Many believe there are still mass graves yet to be discovered.

A few years ago, we recorded our own little version of Danny Flower's "Tulsa Time" with our friend Jake Hanner. It's a great tune that's been performed by Don Williams, Eric Clapton and more. We kinda forgot about it, this sort of thing happens...

Tonight, the President of the United States is hosting a dangerous re-election rally in Tulsa where members of a new mob will gather to hear him spew his divisive rhetoric.

We are sharing our recording of "Tulsa Time" with you now and using the humble platform we have to remind us all that what happened in 1921 should never be forgotten and that #BlackLivesMatter
