The Tulsa Massacre of 1921 remains one of the most shocking incidents of race violence in American history. This week as President Biden became the first head of state to call for the country to face up and accept this, Marion takes us inside what exactly happened to trigger hundreds of murders in an 18 hour period of chaos. Why have no reparations been paid and what has been the knock on effect of this awful tragedy.
