The Burning (Young Readers Edition)

The Burning recounts the historical events surrounding the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, where a White mob violently destroyed the prosperous Black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It vividly depicts the neighborhood at its peak, the underlying tensions between residents, and the aftermath of this tragic event that has often been overshadowed by silence. This powerful narrative not only explores the legacy of Black Wall Street but also connects its historical significance to the present-day fight for racial justice in America.
