Why was the primary source created?

To examine the roles of divergent frames associated with collective violence. And how two racial
groups, armed with the same objective facts and conditions, may interpret the causation of
violence in opposing ways.
Whose perspective(s) is presented in the source?
There is interpretations by survivors and their representatives as an injustice they show that the
riot was ultimately and officially framed in 1921 as an uprising of a dangerous black mob. This
article talks about both sides of the Massacre.
Both Sources
Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical event for the presence of bias.
o
Being biased is one way to affect your work when you are trying to research anything.
You must be open-minded. To not be biased researchers must make efforts to warrant
that the context of their publication is not biased.
I do not believe that the authors used
any bias in their work, and they used resources when deciding to research the topic.
2
Compare how your historical event is represented in your primary sources.
The historical event of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre is represented by how the Black neighborhood
of Greenwood as seen by the Watchmen and Lovecraft Country shows both on HBO.
It talks about the Legacy of Black Independence. It also talks about the Resilience of the
neighborhood as some of the members survived and learned to bounce back to build their
community back up. Historians tend to de-emphasize the violence against the Black people in
America, but Tulsa is one of the prominent examples.
