 https://www.facebook.com/revbooksnyc/live/\n\n100 years ago, on June 1, 
 1921, a racist white mob burned down the vibrant Greenwood community of 
 10,000 Black people in Tulsa, Oklahoma, known as Black Wall Street. Over 
 1,000 businesses, homes, schools, churches, a hospital and a library were 
 destroyed. Firebombing was carried out from the air. Black WWI veterans 
 organizing armed self defense were overrun by the lynch mob which included 
 National Guard troops, deputized white merchants, and 150 Tulsa police, 
 incited by the supposed insult of a white woman by a young Black man.\n\nAt 
 the end, over 300 Black people were murdered and thousands had fled for 
 their lives. How fitting that Trump chose Tulsa in June 2020 for the ugly 
 mass Nazi-KKK-style rally to launch his presidential campaign.\n\nCome to 
 Revolution Books on June 1st – because:\n \n~ The flames of the Tulsa 
 massacre have burned for 400 years in America, with horrific attacks like 
 this perpetrated on Black people since the first Africans were dragged to 
 these shores in slavery chains. The Tulsa survivors have fought for justice 
 for 100 years now and been denied at every turn.\n \n~ Carl Dix will speak 
 to why these attacks happen repeatedly and how they can indeed be ended, 
 but not under this system. And why revolution can end this horror, and 
 other horrors of this system.\n \n~ You will find out about Bob Avakian 
 (BA), the leader who has broken through in how to end these horrors once 
 and for all through the revolution to overthrow this system and create a 
 far better society and world.\n \n~ You can get connected to the movement 
 for this revolution that Bob Avakian leads to make that happen.\n 
 \nRevolution Books is where we get into the roots of the injustices and 
 horrors of Amerikkka... and the revolution to emancipate humanity.\n\nCarl 
 Dix is an advocate of the New Communism developed by Bob Avakian, and part 
 of the The National Get Organized\nfor an ACTUAL Revolution Tour. Carl has 
 been on the front lines of the fight against America's imperial wars and 
 police murder and mass incarceration of Black and Latino people.\n
