"Once upon a time on Black Wall Street, there were dozens of restaurants and grocery stores. There were furriers, a pool hall, a bus system, and an auto shop--nearly two hundred businesses in all. There were also several libraries, a hospital, a post office and a separate school system, where some say Black children got a better education than whites." From "Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre" by Carole Boston Weatherford and Floyd Cooper, which I highly recommend. ~ #unspeakable #thetulsaracemassacre #carolebostonweatherford #floydcooper #picturebook #carolhodabooks #2021 #kidlit #childrensfiction #picturebookillustration #picturebooks #picturebookstagram #childrensbook #kidlitart #picturebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CY2CrxsPnrO/?utm_medium=tumblr
