Near the fountain in Washington Square Park people gathered Monday night to remember a day in American history.

It’s a story not often told and one our country should never forget, CBS2’s Cory James reported.

Exactly 100 years ago, a white mob killed about 300 Black people in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They burned more than 30 square blocks of homes and businesses in an area known as “Black Wall Street.”
