The massacre of Tulsa's Black Wall Street
White mobs destroyed Black Wall Street in 1921. But where are the victims' bodies?
Become a Video Lab member!
Nearly 100 years ago, a white mob destroyed an American neighborhood called “Black Wall Street,” murdering an estimated 300 people in Tulsa, Oklahoma. That incident — known as the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre — has been largely left out of US history books. Today, a century later, the city still has a lot of questions. For one, where are the bodies of the victims? As the city's mayor re-opens the search for mass graves, we take a look at what happened back in 1921…and why finding these graves still matters to the people of Tulsa.

2. Southern Society: Slavery, King Cotton, and Antebellum America's Peculiar Region
The Civil War and Reconstruction (HIST 119)
Professor Blight offers a number of approaches to the question of southern distinctiveness. The lecture offers a survey of that manner in which commentators--American, foreign, northern, and southern--have sought to make sense of the nature of southern society and southern history. The lecture analyzes the society and culture of the Old South, with special emphasis on the aspects of southern life that made the region distinct from the antebellum North. The most lasting and influential sources of Old South distinctiveness, Blight suggests, were that society's anti-modernism, its emphasis on honor, and the booming slave economy that developed in the South from the 1820s to the 1860s.

Top 10 worst neighborhoods in St. Louis, MO. Some are kinda scary.
Thanks for checking out the channel.
I was just in St. Louis for a couple of days last month and it hasn’t changed in the year or so since I was there. I did have perfect weather, so that was nice.
Today's video is on the great city of St. Louis, MO.
Like all cities St. Louis has some St. Louis has some neighborhoods that should be avoided. Like all bad neighborhoods, most of the residents are decent people, they just have that 10% that ruin it for everyone. Nobody wants to buy a house and have a mortgage in these areas which makes it worse. Car's are hard to insure and the list goes on. I hope you enjoy the channel and learn something from it. Be nice to each other.
