In 1921, we learned only recently.... that there was a horrible racial clash that resulted in the white locals losing their s%@t, and murdering 100's of African Americans... throwing many bodies into the Arkansas river to never be found. In recent days, numerous mass graves have also been uncovered. Odd and pathetic that this was hushed over for all these years and we had never learned about it in history class. In the store below, we met and spoke with the owner- a sweet older African American woman. We exchanged stories and also hugs.
Our campground in Tulsa...
