Black Birds in the Sky: The Story and Legacy of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre by Brandy Colbert is a poignant exploration of one of the most devastating events in American history. The book delves into the racial tensions and historical context that led to the violent attack on the prosperous Black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, known as 'Black Wall Street.' Over the course of 24 hours, a white mob destroyed the neighborhood, leaving hundreds of Black residents dead and thousands more homeless. Colbert not only recounts the harrowing events but also examines the aftermath, including the silence and denial that followed for decades. The book highlights the resilience of the Black community and the ongoing struggle for justice and recognition. Colbert's work serves as a crucial reminder of the impact of racial violence and the importance of remembering and learning from the past.
