churches and schools and hospitals were burned down. 12,000 homes burned down. 35 blocks burned down. the tulsa burning had a death toll of 300 and a displacement toll of 10,000, 10,000 people lost their homes and their businesses and their livelihoods. and 6,000 of those people were relegated to internment camps. and then after the internment camps, black professionals, black business owners who lost everything were forced to live in tents and shacks. it was the worst act of racial terrorism and one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism in the history of the united states. i see a parallel between the tulsa race massacre and january 6. the insurrection against the united states congress on january 6 was not simply an attack on a physical structure, it was an expression of racial rage and resentment against multiracial democracy. we have to recognize that the domestic terrorism we saw on january 6 did not happen in a vacuum. it has a history. and that history includes the k.k.k. and includes jim crow, and yes, it includes the tulsa race massacre. and it is a scandal in america that

in fact burns is perhaps the most significant figure in that vacillation up. yeah. yeah jimmy burns secretary of state former speaker of the house a very very political politician from south carolina and but he had truman's ear and and he was a deal maker and and truman inherited a little bit of roosevelt's view of stalin that he was a guy you could make a deal with and burns felt that everybody was a guy you could make a deal with and they they went through 1945 essentially with foreign minister conferences and and complaining about but but trying to understand stalin's view of yalta the ulta agreements, which he essentially was violating right and left and they were trying to bring him back into the grand alliance of the the british the americans and and the soviets and it failed now i think by january there's a supposed meeting that that truman had with burns in january which truman claim he read the riot act is about stalin and the soviets burns claimed it never happened and they were the only two in the room, so we'll never know for sure. but there is a there i
