Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre

"Carole Boston Weatherford, a master of children’s nonfiction, transports readers back to Greenwood, aka Black Wall Street, not only to the day of the Tulsa Race Massacre 100 years ago, but also to the days preceding the tragedy. She and Floyd Cooper paint a portrait of the thriving community, and by bringing Greenwood back to life, they make the loss feel all the more devastating. Cooper, whose grandfather lived in Tulsa at the time, was a beloved figure in the children’s literature community who, sadly, died earlier this year. Unspeakable is a fitting capstone to a career and life. (For ages 8 to 12)"
