On May 4, 1970, four students were killed and nine others were injured when National Guard troops fired into a crowd of Vietnam War protestors on the campus of Kent State University. The shooting of the students caused national uproar, impacted the course of American politics, and spurred the writing of countless articles and books both in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and in the years that have followed (Lewis & Hensley, n.d.).

It was known as “Black Wall Street.” Fire bombs were dropped from airplanes. And hundreds of people were killed.  This knowledge was not acknowledged in state history records until 1996.  There has been more affluent "Black" communities where the homes of the residents were burned down, the residents were raped and killed all out of envy, drunken jealousy and blatant racism.   Greenwood is a neighborhood in Tulsa , Oklahoma .
