For generations, the true story was ignored, covered up, and diminished by those in power and in a position to preserve the status quo. Blending memoir and immersive journalism, RJ Young shows how, today, Tulsa combats its racist past while remaining all too tolerant of racial injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRequiem for the Massacre\u003c\/em\u003e is a cultural excavation of Tulsa one hundred years after one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. Young focuses on unearthing the narrative surrounding previously all-Black Greenwood District while challenging an apocryphal narrative that includes so-called Black Wall Street, Booker T. Washington, and Black exceptionalism. Young provides a firsthand account of the centennial events commemorating Tulsa’s darkest day as the city attempts to reckon with its self-image, commercialization of its atrocity, and the aftermath of the massacre that shows how things have changed and how they have stayed woefully the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eAs Tulsa and the United States head into the next one hundred years, Young’s own reflections thread together the stories of a community and a nation trying to heal and trying to hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49355897700656,"sku":"BDelec","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49503561908528,"sku":"ZEelec","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49503561941296,"sku":"ZMelec","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/348445-elec-Square.jpg?v=1734399714","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-elec","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
