Event Details

Over the course of less than twenty-four hours in the spring of 1921, more than 1,000 Tulsa homes and business, restaurants and movie theaters, churches and doctor’s offices, a hospital, a public library, and a post office were wiped off the map and erased from the history books. Longlisted for the 2021 National Book Award and 2022 Carnegie Medal for Nonfiction, Scott Ellsworth’s riveting New York Times bestseller The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice tells the long-suppressed story of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Join Scott as he reveals how the Massacre was finally brought to light by a courageous group of survivors who fought to keep the story alive.

**PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD IN PERSON AT THE TROY COMMUNITY CENTER, 3179 LIVERNOIS RD., Room 304 **
