Difficult to follow.

This book is a good source for learning about black history. It covers the time up to the Tulsa Race Massacre. This terrible event is seldom (never) taught in our schools. The author is good at documenting the events. I found the history of Greenwood, a very successful mostly black neighborhood near Tulsa, to be really interesting. Having never been the k seems to bhistorye mor of a personal narrative by the author.

Because it took me so long, it makes me realize I wasn't enjoying this book. Usually I put everything aside if the book is good. Long descriptions. Long set up in the first two chapters. Hard to imagine the characters. This could be a shorter book and still cover the stories.

It's getting better after a slow start. Lots of stories intertwined and now they are starting to come together.

Difficult to stick with. I'll finish it but it's work.
