Compare the narratives presented in your primary and secondary sources relevant to your
historical event.
The stories told in my two main sources, which are told by survivors of that night of the fires and
murders who are people over 100 years old, are accurate or very similar in point. Both sources recount
the nightmare they experienced that night, unprovoked, unprovoked, both sources narrate how groups
of white people arrived at the town and without saying a word began to burn their houses and
businesses, also murdering people who lived in that town and their families. family and. The group of
white people prevented the aid sent that night for all the properties in the town of Greenwood to be
burned. They also tell how the blacks were unjustly accused of provoking the riot by arresting them all
and letting go of the whites who were responsible for the massacre that night.
The secondary sources are a little more different since they relate what they have been able to hear and
what they have been able to read from the survivors, but it should be noted that they were never at the
scene. That is why the data is different since they analyze what may or may not have happened that
night or what may have caused it. My first secondary source studies how whites will rise up against
blacks that night with the excuse of an event that occurred between a white woman and a young black
man. In this uprising against the people of Tulsa, everyone was supported by the Government of that
time. and that this would serve as an example for other peoples. What both sources do agree on is that
that night was one of the wildest that that town and in the entire US has ever experienced.
Describe one narrative that has significantly influenced the contemporary understanding of your
historical event.
In one of my primary sources where one of the survivors wrote a book named “Don’t Let Them Bury My
Story,” In this book she better explains how things happened that night, what led to the Tulsa massacre,
during the massacre and how after 100 years racism still exists in the US. The discussion in his book
outlines what motivated the riot that night which was a false accusation from a young white woman
towards a young black man who was together inside an elevator and was falsely accused of abusing her,
which the whites took as an offense towards them and as an excuse to stop the stability and progress of
the town. In the book, she also tells how the whites murdered more than 300 blacks and they burned
the entire town.
Explain how the chosen narrative helps you better understand your historical research question.
Please provide your revised research question and then explain how the chosen narrative helps
you better understand your historical event.
In this narrative we can have an idea of how difficult it was and continues to be for the people of
Tulsa to move forward after that night all their progress fell, and they have not been able to get
back up themselves yet.
How difficult was it for the Greenwoods families to recover from all that was lost and prosper
financially?
