Seller's Description:
Joseph Rushmore (Author photograph) Very good in Very good jacket. xiv, 656, [2] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Extracted from the author's online posting: I've been a writer since my kindergarten days. When I went to college at the University of Alabama, I realized that journalism was a way to tell real-life stories that could be just as captivating as fictional ones. At Alabama I joined the school newspaper, The Crimson White and became editor-in-chief, the second-ever black person to serve in the role. We covered issues ranging from racism in the Greek system to politics in student government. The most challenging assignment was grappling with a devastating tornado that ravaged our city and state in 2011. It was the first time I was forced to make sense of a tragedy. After college I worked for seven years as a technology and business reporter at Time magazine and later at the media startup The Ringer. I examined the ways their products were transforming the world, from Airbnb gentrifying neighborhoods to Facebook warping social discourse through the creation of the Like button. I preferred writing about real people. In particular I was always looking for more chances to tell black people's stories, especially in ways I wasn't seeing in other forms of media. In 2019 I moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to pursue a project about Tulsa's Greenwood District and the impacts of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. That project became Built From the Fire, which follows several families' stories from before 1921 all the way to the present day in Greenwood. Built From the Fire was named a top book of the year in 2023 by the New York Times and the Washington Post. Derived from a Kirkus review: An ambitious chronicle of a racially motivated atrocity that still resonates today. Veteran Tulsa-based journalist Luckerson, a former business reporter for Time magazine, brings his considerable journalistic sensibilities to this sweeping and intimate portrait of racial violence, empowerment, and social action. The author's subject in his debut is the 1921 race massacre in the entrepreneurial Greenwood district of Tulsa, an area popularly known as "Black Wall Street." Luckerson's exhaustive research and interviewing yield an evocative tale related through the sagas of several prominent Greenwood families and massacre survivors-most notably, the Goodwin family, the longest-surviving Greenwood family and caretakers of the invaluable newspaper the Oklahoma Eagle, which becomes another character in the story. Luckerson's well-documented history of the arrivals, struggles, and triumphs of Black Tulsa prior to the massacre is invaluable, particularly his accounts of the development and promise of Tulsa as a whole and of Greenwood's phoenix-like emergence from the ashes. His depiction of the massacre itself is not for the faint of heart, but it's necessary reading nonetheless. "When he stops to reflect on the magnitude of the destruction, and the dark motivation at the heart of it, he thinks pogrom-an organized massacre of a particular ethnic group-may be the most apt description, " writes Luckerson about a member of the Goodwin family. The details of the violence, mass graves, and sea of Red Cross tents that resembled a military field hospital necessarily reinforce the horror. Luckerson adeptly describes the century-long economic, political, and psychological consequences of the massacre, and he clearly demonstrates how those consequences inform contemporary debates in Tulsa, the Oklahoma state legislature, and the nation concerning restitution, police brutality and accountability, and the social responsibility of citizens and businesses, Black and White alike. A vital book for anyone who wishes to understand American race relations past and present.
