The Tulsa Riot
By kaori and Isaac
Outcome
City does not support those who lost their jobs and homes. Support comes from the black community and some sympathetic whites. After a lot of work, Greenwood is left a block of buildings and an annual ceremony to remember.
Cause of the riot
A 19 year old shoe shiner
walked into a white people only elevator.
The elevator stopped and he tripped and
accidentally tripped then, he touched the
white lady. Word got out and rumors spread
that he sexually assaulted her. The newspaper
found out about the allegation and said that the
shoe shiner should be lynched. The white mob was going to do it but tne blacks were going to stop it.
