Project

This semester I've been working on a popular nonfiction piece for my ENGL 497 Writing History class. I'm writing on Tulsa.

This is the Tulsa where I grew up:


And this is the Tulsa I'm writing about:


My project is about the 1921 Tulsa race riot. It was kept quiet by the city of Tulsa and even I didn't know much about it when I lived there. It was just a dark cloud that hovered over the city that no one spoke about. They didn't even mention it in my required Oklahoma history class that I took in high school.

The piece is due next week and it's shaping up well. I may post pieces of it at a later date.
