White Supremacy
In 1922, the year following the massacre, approximately 1,700 members of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK) marched through Tulsa to a cheering crowd
of over 15,000 white people in a show of force of white supremacy. The following year in 1923, the KKK built a towering meeting hall in the
shadows of the ruins of Greenwood. This building was nicknamed "Be No Hall" which stood for, "Be No Negro, Be No Jew, Be No Catholic, and
Be No Immigrant." Additionally, gruesome postcards were produced and sent around the country that celebrated the Greenwood massacre. |
