The women in Jacqueline Woodson's Red at the Bone feel the burdens of generational trauma and their family's connection to the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. Throughout the novel, we learn how that one moment in history changed the lives of the descendants of those who fled and those who didn't make it. Hannibal B. Johnson, author of Black Wall Street 100: An American City Grapples with its Historical Racial Trauma, will examine what happened in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921 when pre-existing hate and discrimination in the United States erupted and resulted in the destruction of a Black-owned downtown area and explore how it continues to impact our nation today. Histories throughout the United States are connected in common experiences that manifested in different ways. This online program will explore the parallel Black history in Oregon and how events of the past have impacted on the present. Join us as we observe the 100th anniversary of this critical event and walk through the history, representation in media, and the residual impacts that continue to manifest today. Copies of Hannibal B. Johnson’s book: Black Wall Street 100: An American City Grapples with its Historical Racial Trauma will be given to registered participants while supplies last, and participants will receive an email with more details closer to the date of the program.
