Online Public Relations Thoughts

One hundred years ago, a white mob burned down Tulsa's black district, destroying a thriving community called Black Wall Street.  The message in the terrorist action was blunt.  Blacks could not join the white community in income and amenities.  Today it is hard to believe that such an evil action took place in America, but it did.   Tulsans hushed it up even as the ruins continued to burn and smoke.  Blacks who were traumatized did not speak about it.  Only in recent decades has Tulsa owned up to the incident and belatedly has tried to make amends.  The mob's message of hate lasted decades but has been disavowed.  There is improvement in race relations but still a long way to go.
