From the night of May 31 to the afternoon of June 1, 1921, thousands of White Tulsans—as many as 10,000—carried out a coordinated attack on Greenwood. “They burned houses and businesses. They just took what they wanted out of the buildings then they burned them. They murdered people. We were told they just dumped the dead bodies into the river. I remember running outside of our house. I ran past dead bodies,” Mother Randle said to Congress. “I was scared— I didn’t think we would make it out alive.”

Gordon Parks captured the Jim Crow South with a quiet, devastating clarity—using his camera as both witness and weapon. Through intimate portraits and everyday scenes, he exposed the cruelty of segregation not with sensationalism but with humanity, dignity, and truth. Parks showed Black life in the South as it was lived: tender, resilient, disciplined, and determined, even under oppressive laws. His photographs didn’t just document injustice—they challenged America to see what it preferred to ignore.

“The schools we go to are reflections of the society that created them. Nobody is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.”

In honor of Mr. Fred Fleet Sr. of Washington, Pa.

I used to be one of the Presidents of a beautiful group that Mr. Fred Fleet created called "The Highland Erie Committee" in Washington, Pa.
