On May 31, 1921, the Tulsa (OK) race massacre began. Over two days, white rioters killed as many as 300 people, burned 1000 buildings, and destroyed the thriving African American community of Greenwood. 100 years later, after George Floyd and others, I\u2019m trying to understand better what the African American experience has been, both in and out of the church. I hope you\u2019ll join me, and in a recorded video<\/a> (available on our YouTube channel<\/a>), I recommend a few books that are helping me on the way. In addition to the books mentioned in the video, I also recommend Walls Can Fall: Reconciliation & Righteousness in a Divided World<\/em><\/a> by Kenneth C. Ulmer.
