When I first learned about the Tulsa race massacre, I was ~40 years old. It was from the HBO *Watchmen* series, and at first, I thought it was a made-up part of the comic's alternate timeline, just like the US winning Vietnam, and Nixon getting reelected. I had no idea it was real.
I know several people who went to school their whole lives in Oklahoma; most say it was never mentioned, in any class, at any level.
That's how ingrained that same racism still is, 100+ years later.
