TJ L @TiJoLi Mar 12 This is a gem of a movie, and it bears re-viewing. This was my first exposure to the Tulsa Race Massacre (then commonly called the Tulsa Race Riots). When this film was made, about 90 years on from the racial massacre, an astonishing number of survivors of the genocide were still alive. Enlightening, empowering and emotionally moving.
