Identify a historical perspective that could be applied to your historical event.
Whereas the Tulsa Massacre ignited from a conflict between whites and blacks, those are 2 prominent perspectives to take into consideration. Diving into sources about the massacre have been a bit difficult because most of the original documents disappeared over time and the event
did not get an abundance of attention until the late 90’s when the Race Riot Commission was given the green light to study more about the Tulsa Massacre. The Oklahoma Commission studied and gathered more information and laid it all out in a report published on February 28
th
, 2001. The perspective of the commission is a great one to dive into because they are looking back and basing everything on evidence and facts gathered in their research of the event as well, so it is a report straying away from any bias from news or media or other sources closer to the actual event in 1921. The time between the event and the commission taking a deeper look into it cuts out any personal bias that could be incorporated into their findings. Revise your research question based on evidence from your primary and secondary sources.
How did the economical losses caused by the massacre affect the communities of both black and white members?
Along with the affects of the economical losses on both black and white communities, how did the severity of racial conflict still happening affect the restoration of both black and white communities and were the restoration efforts favorable more to whites, or blacks after the massacre?
Explain how historical perspective and evidence from sources influenced your finalized research question.
Historical perspective, and evidence from reliable sources have led me to wonder how much bias was impacting things in the time surrounding the massacre. Reading through the report from the Oklahoma Commission shows just how much of an impact the racial conflict still affected the black and white communities. My question is now aimed at the economical impact the massacre had, but also how the racial conflict and biases within that time period affected the blacks and whites individually as far as the claims being made equaling the upwards total of 4million dollars being denied, and how the restoration of the burned neighborhoods was impacted by racial conflict bias. Were whites given top priority after the massacre, was there any empathy or compassion for the black families that lost their homes and everything they had.
Most lost loved ones, and with the death toll being unknown and estimated at 30-300, it does state that most of the deaths were of the black community. Bias in that time did lean towards the whites and benefitting them more so diving in deeper with an unbiased perspective such as the Oklahoma Commission is going to help give more insight to the event. 1
