"HBO’s new series “Watchmen” opens with scenes of a race massacre in Oklahoma: Black people shot in cold blood. Black people fleeing businesses on fire. Airplanes flying low and dropping bombs. A newspaper lying amid the burning rubble in the street with the headline: “Lynch Negro.”

The horrific scene seems like a work of Hollywood creative fiction in some alternate universe.

But the carnage actually happened nearly a century ago when a white mob in Tulsa descended on Greenwood, a black business district so prosperous it was dubbed “Black Wall Street.”

The Tulsa race massacre began May 31, 1921, when a white mob set fire to hundreds of black-owned businesses and homes. Historians believe as many as 300 people were killed. More than 10,000 black residents were left homeless, and as many as 40 blocks were left smoldering."
