Erased in Flames: The Tulsa Massacre, Black Wall Street's Fall, and the Battle for Reparations By Dareios Little In 1921, Greenwood—known as "Black Wall Street"—was one of the most prosperous Black communities in America. In less than 24 hours, it was reduced to ashes. White mobs, aided by law enforcement and the National Guard, carried out a coordinated assault that left hundreds dead, thousands displaced, and generational wealth obliterated. For decades, the atrocity was buried beneath silence, denial, and erasure. Erased in Flames confronts that history head-on. Drawing on survivor testimony, Department of Justice findings, and newly uncovered graves, Dareios Little delivers a definitive account of the Tulsa Race Massacre and its century-long aftermath. Each chapter blends: - Academic framing that situates Tulsa within the afterlife of slavery and systemic racism. - Journalistic immersion that brings Greenwood's rise and destruction vividly to life. - Advocacy imperatives that demand reparations, accountability, and restoration of stolen lineage wealth. This is not just a history book—it is a civil rights manifesto. From the courthouse standoff to internment camps, from media complicity to modern parallels, Erased in Flames reveals how institutions weaponized lies, law, and silence to erase a people's progress. And it insists that reparations are not optional—they are owed. For readers of Tim Madigan's The Burning and Scott Ellsworth's The Ground Breaking, this work is both successor and corrective: a modern, uncompromising call to justice. Powerful, urgent, and unforgettable, Erased in Flames ensures Greenwood's legacy will never again be erased.
