Part 1: Creating a Research Question
Describe how your assumptions, beliefs, and values influenced your choice of topic.
•
My favorite part about this story is how these Black people brought their beliefs and values together to build an entire community. In the early 1900s, Black people were not known as wealthy or successful, so I assume that this taught Black people that financial stability was possible. For Black people to unite and build a community, I would think they all had the same beliefs inwardly to build something together.
Discuss the significance of your historical research question about your current event.
•
My research question is "Mental health disparities amongst Greenwood District community members with racial violence after the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre". Throughout history, African Americans were never favorable toward any form of counseling. In most cases, AA never were financially stable enough to even consider mental health counseling. The research question makes me wonder how long-term trauma affects the mind.
Explain how you used sources to finalize your research question.
•
On June 1, 1921, the day after the massacre the victims were housed in tents distributed by the Red Cross. I was able to read the complaints from members of Greenwood.
Part 2: Building Context to Address Questions
Describe the context of your historical event that influenced your current event.
•
Many of the Greenwood District community members complained they were mistreated. Some community members say the authorities gave them the option to clean the remains of the city or go to jail. This is where the idea came from. I wondered the flabbergastic they must've been to have to clean remains from the bombing created by the white mobs.
Describe a historical figure or group’s participation in your historical event.
•
The Red Cross reported the tragedy to aid in medicine, provide tents for sleeping, counselors visible to assist, as well as food to feed the victims.
Explain the historical figure or group’s motivation to participate in your historical event.
•
Red Cross has trained over 18000 people each year to prepare for, prevent, and respond to life-
threatening emergencies through various forms of unplanned events.
Part 3: Examining How Bias Impacts Narrative
Describe a narrative you identified while researching the history of your historical event.
•
The Tulsa Race Massacre story, from my perspective, has always highlighted the destruction of the city, however, I never knew what happened to the African Americans of the Greenwood District. I learned that during the aftermath, Greenwood District was forced by white authorities to clean up the destruction themselves. And the AAs who refused to clean the city up were sent to jail for violating the law.
Articulate how biased perspectives presented in primary and secondary sources influence what is known
or unknown about history.
•
Reporters and participants who were considered present during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, presented one-sided points of view. Victims who were affected by the massacre presented their biased one-sided story.
Identify the perspectives that you think are missing from your historical event’s narrative.
•
I did my best to highlight both views of the story. One side is from the reporters and media telling their take on the events. And also capturing the victims who were affected and who experienced the loss and violence.
Part 4: Connecting the Past With the Present
Explain how researching its historical roots helped improve your understanding of your current event.
•
Racism is still a crippling subject in our country today. There is an emphasis on equality and acceptance for all. Also, I believe there's a ton of education to cover on the Tulsa race massacre. Articulate how questioning your assumptions, beliefs, and values may benefit you as an individual.
•
I first learned about the Tulsa race massacre when I was a child. Since we never learned about African-American history in school, we learned about it in Church and during family meetings. The purpose of learning about African-American stories such as the Tulsa race massacre was to document history and learn proactive ways for financial stability. When learning about the Tulsa race massacre, I remember my grandfather bringing attention to the success of Black people being bankers, farmers, leaders, businessmen, and women.
Discuss how being a more historically informed citizen may help you understand contemporary issues.
•
It helps me understand how racism affected America.
