We would like to use it in a film.

It’s been well known in the state for a long time, but Tulsa authorities (Chamber of Commerce mostly) didn’t like to acknowledge it . Initially, you could only piece it together by referring to various MA theses and doctoral dissertations focusing on things like black history in the state or on the governors’ use of the National Guard. Now, however, that are more and more books and memoirs about it, and we eventually get some more accurate casualty figures Some of my own research (on the IWW and the Green Corn Rebellion) which involved the nature of violence in Oklahoma generally and Tulsa specifically is even cited in the recent lawsuit seeking reparations. The 1917 Green Corn Rebellion against the draft (among other things) is also largely ignored, but I working to changed that in a forthcoming book project.

BTW, the GAP District was largely killed off by the Interstate loops around Tulsa by the 1980s and the area is now largely the campus of the Oklahoma State University two-year technical college in Tulsa.

Thanks for stopping by. I am always looking for good book recommendations, so I will have to stop by your site! If you haven’t already, you should read Hellhound on his Trail. I am currently reading that, and I love it.
