| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In 1921, a 19-year-old black shoe-shiner named Dick Rowland was arrested after an incident in which it appears he tripped and grabbed the hand of a white female lift attendant. A large crowd of white men gathered outside the Tulsa jail where he was held, prompting rumours of a lynching which brought a group of armed African Americans to the scene. Shots were fired and the black minority retreated while an estimated 500 white men were sworn-in as Special Deputies. |
