Tulsa Race Riot of 1921

Dick Rowland: Young black male riding on Drexel Building with a white operator (Sarah Page) that "claimed" that Rowland grabbed her arm causing people to think that she was in danger because she screamed. In reality the boy accidentally stepped on her foot...  White people were exaggerating with a riot in my opinion but during that time there was many encounters of racism like the ku klux klan so is was a normal thing for them to riot because they wanted to imprison a black man.
But when you come from a black person persecutive they would think "This is a normal thing that the whites are doing but want can I do, if I do something I get prison time regardless of anything" Whites don't understand the position they put them in.
