If you have been following this blog series, you are no doubt captivated (as I certainly was), learning the details of what actually took place on May 31, and June 1, 1921. Tulsa Turning, the 2nd title in my Tulsa Series, focuses on this rebuilding time.
A female newspaper reporter, Clarette Fortier, from New York City, is assigned by her newsroom chief to travel to Tulsa to cover the Race Riot.
Adventure-loving Clarette, struggling to carve out a place for herself in a man’s world of newspaper reporting, uncovers facts in Tulsa that those in control are trying to hide. Her hard-headedness, and her sense of what is right, places her in danger.
This part of the novel is true. What was hidden when Clarette arrived in Tulsa the summer of 1921, remained buried for decades!
This is what is revealed in Tulsa Turning!
Today the Greenwood district is one of the more beautiful areas in Tulsa!
