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 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 today? These 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.

Great Supplement for Sticks!
Color: Dogwood Flip N Chew, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
This is a great choice for those with furiends that LOVE to chew on sticks. The only con is that once it gets to the curved loop, they have difficulty chewing the loop due to the size of it.

My Corgi Loves These
Color: Dogwood Flip N Chew, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My dog loves to chew on these wooden toys. These are cheap to buy but that is because these wooden toys do not last long, and are not durable for heavy chewers. My dog enjoys gnawing on these for 30 minutes and after a few times, the wooden toy gets worn down with both ends starting to flake. I throw these out every week so he isn’t swallowing a bunch of wooden chips as he chews. However, I keep buying these because I think it’s still better than having him swallowing plastic bits from other plastic toys.

Favorite chew
Color: Dogwood Flip N Chew, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My pups most favorite chew ever. We call it his pacifier. The sheer joy he has when we show him there’s a new one, and the bliss he has just chewing away. Labrador—hard chewer, it lasts about 2 weeks before it’s too small to be safe.

Dogs are obsessed
Color: Dogwood Flip N Chew, Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Color: Dogwood Flip N Chew, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
I have 2 large dogs and they are obsessed with dogwood line. I have purchased the large,super dogwood, and now the medium flip and they have all held up. They chew on them every day. They last for a long time and I have never had any problems with sharp pieces breaking off. It's a great for big chewers and they are pretty cheap to replace when they get worn. For the large and medium the shipping was pretty quick. The super dogwood always seems to take a month to get but I would still recommend.
