But this history is generally not taught in schools. ![]() Tulsa was not the only site of white violence against Black communities in the early 20th century. As many as 300 Black Americans were killed, many more were injured, and 35 blocks of the city were destroyed, with damages amounting to what would be more than $20 million today. One hundred years ago, from May 31 through June 1, 1921, a group of white police officers organized white citizens in an attack on the Black residents of Tulsa, Okla., with both aircraft and ground forces. ![]() How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America, by Clint Smith ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Forthcoming is another novel, The Black Pilgrimage.

How (and why!) would anyone expand that into ten hours of television? ![]() But the book, which tells the tale of a group who spend time in a rumored haunted mansion as part of a parapsychological study, is a slim volume, less than 300 pages. You can also imagine how preemptively annoyed I was that the new version of Shirley Jackson's tale would be a series rather than a film-although I admit I was pleased that Mike Flanagan's show would use the full title of Jackson's novel (both movies shortened the title to The Haunting likely because of the similarly titled horror flick House on Haunted Hill, released in 1959 and remade in 1999).
