Yeah, we know President Trump had his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma over the weekend.  But, do you know about the 1921 mob in Tulsa?  What happened in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921? A mob of 10,000 whites descended on Greenwood, the richest black neighborhood in America, after a black teenager on his way to a blacks-only bathroom stepped on the foot of a white elevator operator. The same flimsy pretext was used for a town’s destruction, including the Florida Rosewood Massacre only two years later.

Watch what happened from the Weird History YouTube channel below.
