Brandy Colbert
Black Birds in the Sky
Clarion Books 2021. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Brandy Colbert</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Clarion Books</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780063056664</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2021</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 224</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> A searing new work of nonfiction from award-winning author Brandy Colbert about the history and legacy of one of the most deadly and destructive acts of racial violence in American history: the Tulsa Race Massacre. Winner Boston Globe-Horn Book Award. In the early morning of June 1 1921 a white mob marched across the train tracks in Tulsa Oklahoma and into its predominantly Black Greenwood District—a thriving affluent neighborhood known as America's Black Wall Street. They brought with them firearms gasoline and explosives.In a few short hours they'd razed thirty-five square blocks to the ground leaving hundreds dead. The Tulsa Race Massacre is one of the most devastating acts of racial violence in US history. But how did it come to pass What exactly happened And why are the events unknown to so many of us todayThese are the questions that award-winning author Brandy Colbert seeks to answer in this unflinching nonfiction account of the Tulsa Race Massacre. In examining the tension that was brought to a boil by many factors—white resentment of Black economic and political advancement the resurgence of white supremacist groups the tone and perspective of the media and more—a portrait is drawn of an event singular in its devastation but not in its kind. It is part of a legacy of white violence that can be traced from our country's earliest days through Reconstruction the Civil Rights movement in the mid–twentieth century and the fight for justice and accountability Black Americans still face today.The Tulsa Race Massacre has long failed to fit into the story Americans like to tell themselves about the history of their country. This book ambitious and intimate in turn explores the ways in which the story of the Tulsa Race Massacre is the story of America—and by showing us who we are points to a way forward.YALSA Honor Award for Excellence in Nonfiction</p> Clarion Books hardcover
