BY JAY BOBBIN In building on your job as a Washington Post journalist to produce and report "Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten" on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, what was your intention in doing the program? Much of Black history was deliberately left out of our textbooks in the schools in the United States, so that meant hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren did not know about this history of the Tulsa Race Massacre. In fact, many students who went to school in Oklahoma were not taught about this massacre that occurred in their hometown. After the massacre occurred, many of the civic leaders and city leaders in Tulsa deliberately set out to cover up the massacre. They called it an embarrassment. When I was reporting on the story at the University of Tulsa, the curator there told me that when he arrived in 1980, he found that someone had gone through the magazines and all of the periodicals and used a razor to cut out any article that mentioned the massacre. Many of the white people would not talk about it because their grandparents were perpetrators in the massacre. Many of the Black people often whispered about it because some had a fear that it might reoccur. OF 'TULSA: THE FIRE AND THE FORGOTTEN' ON PBS DeNeen L.
