On May 31, 1921, the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma was a thriving city within a city—a symbol of pride, success and wealth. The next morning, it was ashes. What happened remained a secret for almost a century.
In this six-episode narrative podcast, WNYC’s KalaLea considers the life of these remarkable 35 blocks of Tulsa through the stories of the people who lived there and their descendants. Blindspot: Tulsa Burning examines what made Greenwood thrive and track the forces hellbent on its demise. You’ll hear from people whose lives the attack transformed once and for all. You’ll visit Greenwood today and try to understand the legacy of the Massacre — its lasting impact on Tulsa, and our country.
Blindspot: Tulsa Burning is a co-production of The HISTORY® Channel and WNYC Studios, in collaboration with KOSU and Focus Black Oklahoma.
Listen to new episodes of Blindspot: Tulsa Burning every Friday.
