Conspiracy?
The lead in this article states:
"The commission's final report, published in 2001, states that the city had conspired with the mob of white citizens against Black citizens"
That is factually untrue. The relevant section is on pages 10 and 11 of the report.
Page 11 states:
"Others — again, including members of this commission — have studied the same question and examined the same evidence, but they have looked at it in different ways. They see there no proof of conspiracy. Selfish desires surely. Awful effects certainly. But not a conspiracy. Both sides have evidence that they consider convincing, but neither side can convince the other."
In other words "some people think it was a conspiracy others don't". That's all the report says. Please amend text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.217.179 (talk) 15:36, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
the section that says "Perpetrators - White American mob" should also include "Armed blacks", the shooting at the jail started with the murder of an elderly white man by a black man. (as stated in the test, so that should be included.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.90.232 (talk) 23:55, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Buck Franklin actually left three written accounts of the Tulsa riot. The first as a 1922 contribution to the Parrish book reffed overleaf. The second in his 1959 autobiography 'My Life and an Era' (pub 1997). Little of the dramatic detail of the '1931' manuscript appears in either of those two memoirs. Franklin does however mention in his autobiography (p 273) that he is a writer of historical fiction. Students of the Tulsa riot may therefore at least pause to wonder if the celebrated '1931' manuscript is fact, or fiction, whilst critically comparing the three quite different accounts.
