Black Birds in the Sky by Brandy Colbert

So much of American history has been glossed over, removed or simply omitted from text books and classrooms, and even the memories of the townspeople who lived through certain events. Such is the case with the Tulsa Race Massacre that happened in 1921. Unfortunately, it was not an event that was shocking because it was the only such occurrence, rather, it was part of a string of such happenings as to make it, sadly, too common.

Recommended for grades 7 and up.
