Tracing the history of African Americans in Tulsa's Greenwood district, this book chronicles the devastation that occurred in 1921 when a White mob attacked the Black community. News of what happened was largely suppressed, and no official investigation into the Tulsa Race Massacre occurred for 75 years.

Sensitively introducing young audiences to this tragedy, Unspeakable concludes with a call for a better future.

Excellent. a story that needs to be told.

Know the truth and the truth will set you free, as the saying goes. But is that enough ? This book is just a beginning for our children to start asking the essential questions that need to be answered. Parents should use this book as a starter for a deeper discussion with our children.

Maybe we need Critical Race to learn more about atrocities like this in our country

It was disheartening to discover such a tragic event like this could happen in the U.S. We
learned about the Tuskegee experiments on black men and hints of other atrocities, but
I think the Tulsa race massacre may take the cake. It is too bad that the people who participated in the massacre can't be made accountable. Reparations are mere tokens and will tend to be written off in many minds since so many people have died. What a tragedy!! White Americans (including me at 86 years old should be ashamed!!

A Good book to teach a tough story.

The Story is not complete. It fails to tell what happened to the man accused of assaulting the woman in the elevator. Especially since nothing happened there. The whole incident was based on a false charge. Otherwise the book is well done. and covers the history well.

Essential reading for all

Such a powerful, yet accessible, telling of a horrific and suppressed time in American history. Every single child needs to know this story so it's never repeated. The illustrator's note, detailing Floyd Cooper's family connection to the Tulsa Race Massacre, makes the book all the more affecting. Gorgeous and heartbreaking.

Acknowledging Our Errors

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2023

Verified Purchase

In this era of knee-jerk reactions to America's glaring sins, this story is especially important for kids, all races, to know about, think about--and if they're lucky--to discuss it too. It's outrageous, infuriating, and tragic, and the whole event has been under the rug far too long. Perhaps this book will encourage future historians, as well as future artists: the artwork has to be deemed great, or at least perfect. It conveys the awful confusion of the people at that time, and movements forward since then. There are other, grownup, books on this massacre but this is a good one to begin with.
