Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, United States

Created By: Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission

Information

"White neighborhoods were also the scenes of much activity. As word of what whites began calling the “negro uprising” spread across town, crowds of armed whites began to gather at hastily arranged meeting places. When one such crowd, perhaps three hundred strong, met at 15th and Boulder, a white man standing on top of a touring car told everyone to go to Second and Lewis, where another group was meeting. There, perhaps six hundred whites were told of plans to invade black Tulsa at dawn." Hill, K 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre (pg 266)
