Residential Homes Looted and Burned

"By 1:00 a.m., whites also had set the first fires in black neighborhoods. African American homes and businesses along Archer were the first targets, and when a crew from the Tulsa Fire Department prepared to douse the flames, rioters waved them off at gunpoint. By 4:00 a.m., more than two dozen homes and businesses, including the Midway Hotel, had been torched."
