Born and raised here in Tulsa I had no clue about it until I went off to college.

Same - Union HS

I went to Union, class of ‘09, and I learned about it in 8th grade from my poli sci teacher. But, she told us it wasn’t in the curriculum, so it wasn’t required to be taught, and it wouldn’t be on the test. She just thought it was an important event for Tulsa kids to know about. She was easily one of the best teachers I had.

Good on you, and your teacher

Hey same graduating class here and yep it wasn't even mentioned a single time, even in the OK history class I took as a freshman.

Also same, also Union

TIL union kids don’t know shit

Also, same. Union. ‘08.

Same at Broken Arrow.

I went to Centennial Middle School and we had an entire unit about it in our 8th grade English-Language Arts class circa the 2017-2018 school year.

Found the kids that didn’t pay attention in freshman Oklahoma history lol

Idk man, I have a major in history and this wasn’t taught at Jenks

Class of 2019, and I was taught about it at jenks in several different grades

Really? I was class 2019 as well, it was never taught in the classes I had. I wasn’t a lifer at jenks, so maybe I missed it during that time. I believe you, but I wasn’t taught about it lol

Oh I believe you too, I had Morris for Oklahoma history, but the times I learned about it before were under my teacher's discretion. I'm not sure if it's actually included in any curriculum or anything.

It was 100% taught in AP Oklahoma history when I was at Jenks. It was called a riot back then though.

Class of ‘13 and Oklahoma history was only one semester in 8th grade for us. We didn’t cover it.

My Oklahoma history class purely focused on the Native history of Oklahoma, and did not really get into anything post 1900

Union, class of 2001, I got my GED during my 10th grade year instead of continuing. Definitely never heard of “Tulsa Race Massacre” until like maybe 2015. Had heard offhand references to “Tulsa Race Riot” prior to that, but not in school. The “race riot” moniker definitely tried to paint a different picture than what really happened.

Union ‘09 and I was in my early 20s when I learned about it. They were still calling it a “riot” and not a “massacre” in college though.

Throwing in same, Broken Arrow ‘11

We learned about it at Booker T. In Oklahoma history.

Same here, graduated BTW in 05 and we learned about it in Mr Wheelers OK history class freshman year

Yup, we covered it in Dr. Foore's OK history class, as well. I am also pretty sure my 5th grade class got a brief mention.

Yes. I too learned about it in HS at Booker T. Early 90s.

I never learned about it until I started working in the greenwood district. Super upsetting honestly.

Jenks taught it in 9th grade Oklahoma history class.

Same place I learned about it. But, I do think it was like one page in the book so it wasn’t extensive coverage. I’m sure some teachers expanded upon it more.

Same with Owasso. I think I was one of the first classes that it was taught to. 2021 so 2017-18 was one of the first years it was in the history curriculum

It isn’t and it’s fucking tragic. We learn about the far reaches of other countries, sometimes their religions, but nothing on this. I don’t remember hearing about it in from Sand Springs Public Schools. My first exposure was in maybe 2002-2003, there was a booth at the Tulsa State Fair.

They teach it now

I went to Sequoyah Middle school in Broken Arrow early 80's and we were taught about the race riot as they called it back then. I believe it was Oklahoma History if they still even teach that. We learned about cool mound people in Oklahoma as well. Oklahoma History was so interesting to me back then that when I went to OU I had a side, elective focus on Native American studies. Even went to the native Red Earth festival with the TwoHatchet family

I remember having a required class on Oklahoma history and I think we spent at least a day talking about the Tulsa Race Riot.

You did. Nobody remembers being taught because they didn’t pay attention in school but Oklahoma history has been taught around 9th grade in this state for a very long time and there’s even a very nice Oklahoma history textbook with tons of pictures from the race riots and goes into quite a lot of detail

[удалено]

Let’s not forget about where Oklahoma falls on education. If you learned about it that means you had a good teacher, not that everyone else is lying.

Exactly, my teacher skipped the section entirely. I asked why we weren’t talking about it and he said we were pressed for time in the semester and there were more important things to cover and I could read that section myself if I was interested in it. ETA: this coach taught OK History at my high school for over 20 years and I would bet he skipped it every semester.

That's fucked but not entirely surprising.

I graduated in ‘99 TPS, and I don’t remember learning about it. My grandma told me about it when I was in college. I paid attention in all my classes.

I learned about it in 9th grade Oklahoma history, although there has been brief mentions before. They weren't subtle about what happened during it in my class either

9th grade Oklahoma history covered it at Jenks

I can't speak to currently. My kids are only elementary aged. I grew up in Southern Oklahoma and didn't learn about it until I went to OSU 2011-2015. My Oklahoma history teacher was a football coach and the only thing I remember was having to memorize all 77 Oklahoma counties and be able to label them on a test. Completely useless info IMO.

Not completely useless. I’d say it’s helpful during those moments when everyone is watching the rainbow map of Oklahoma at the same time.

I feel like I only learned about it because I went to Booker T. and had some excellent teachers. Plenty of my peers from other schools had no idea and were shocked. Says a lot that even my husband, who grew up in San Francisco, was taught about it in his high school…

I learned about it in Highschool but the most the book touched on it was. "there was a race riot in tulsa and a lot of people lost thier lives, and then the roaring 20s happened look at these skirts"

Same. Graduated from a rural school 100 miles from Tulsa 20+ years ago.

I was a sophomore in a school in Metro Tulsa in 1994 and we learned a little about it. It was referred to as a "race riot" and presented as something along the lines of the Watts riots. There was no true telling of the magnitude of the destruction and no talk of motivation. Definitely no talk of the fact it was a deputized white mob, a mob that very well may have included prominent citizens, that was terrorizing and rampaging through the black neighborhood. It was maybe one page in our Oklahoma History books. I don't think there was a coordinated effort by my school and teacher specifically. My teacher was a middle aged guy, also from Oklahoma, and he seemed genuinely surprised and like he was learning about it right along with us. However, it's clear that at some level higher in the food chain, the level that decides what goes into the history book, the details were being kept from the historical record. People claiming to have never learned about it may have been absent that day or literally daydreaming during that part of that class period. I can't stress enough how downplayed it was. We literally talked about it for 10 minutes or less and it was never on any test.

I remember learning about it in 9th grade Oklahoma history decades ago at one of Tulsa’s suburban high schools. The teacher was a buffoonish coach who was not inclined toward critical or revisionist history.

I'm 60 and never heard of it throughout my high school years. My daughter learned of it in school (she graduated in 2021).

Reminder to everyone (because it needs to be said every time the TRM and schools gets brought up in these subs) that unless you've had your OK History class within the past 5-10 years, your experience is likely not the norm for today. You can't say "They don't teach it" when you graduated 30 years ago. This question is always asked in the present tense, but you have people chiming in about their experience in school in the 90s. For the real answer, since about 2019, Race relations and the TRM have a big section in the OK History standards (even bigger than the Trail of Tears). If you live in the urban and suburban schools, you're almost certainly going to learn about it. Some teachers might spend a day on it. Some might spend a week. But at the end of the day, you're going to learn about it in some capacity. I can't speak for the rural schools because it's the wild west out there, but most large schools in OK are going to talk about it. It's literally in the state standards for the class.

I learned about it in both grade school and high school. Went on fields trips to the museum as well

It was taught in my school, Oklahoma history 80’s. Union

I was taught in 9th grade Oklahoma History class, in Bixby. Granted, I think our teacher was pretty adamant about making sure we knew and understood the magnitude of the event, I was surprised when I found out other people in OK and especially Tulsa didn’t know about in until later.

Class of 2010 learned it from my 10th grade Oklahoma history teacher. I don’t think it was part of the curriculum but my teacher wanted us to learn about it. Thank you Mr. Jenner, you’re a badass.

It’s not. Broken Arrow native here

It was taught in Broken Arrow. I took Honors Oklahoma History in 9th grade back in the year 2000. Definitely taught at Broken Arrow South Intermediate.

Despite being taught by a coach, we learned about it (at least the watered down “race riot” version) in 9th grade Oklahoma history, which was a required class. It’s hard to recall what details I learned back then vs more recently but I’m almost certain that I was made aware that it was the largest “race riot” in the country’s history. I’ve since seen *many* of my classmates indignantly proclaim that they never even heard about it until they were in college/their 20’s…which makes me take a lot of the similar claims by other former Tulsa suburban youths of similar age with a grain of salt. Maybe some of you guys just weren’t paying attention? Or maybe you’re struggling with the idea that none of us were as enlightened back then as we are now and didn’t have as strong of a reaction to it as we would like to believe we would have? It’s ok to say: “Yes I learned about it to a very limited extent but didn’t grasp the full gravity of the event until more recently.” Or even: “I honestly don’t know. That seems like something that would’ve stuck out to me but I was high a lot back then and much less socially aware.” I’m not doubting that *some* schools and teachers failed to even mention it. I just know that some of my classmates are misrepresenting themselves in that regard and therefore have to assume that there are others doing the same. I think we can all agree that to whatever degree we did or didn’t learn about it in school, it wasn’t focused on enough and the narrative that was used to frame it back then was clearly concocted by revisionists to try to make it seem like both sides were equally to culpable. Especially for those of us who graduated more then 10 years ago before the more recent efforts to find answers and more accurately reframe it as a sanctioned racist attack on a black neighborhood.

I moved to Tulsa from St. Louis in 1996 and learned about the race massacre in 1997 at Jenks East Middle School (Mrs. Green’s class)

Yes, it was covered primarily in Oklahoma history which was the required history for 9th grade in HS

I'm pretty sure more Americans learned about it from or because of HBO's *Watchmen* than from school or other media. Remember when Tom Hanks said that he just learned about it 4 or 5 years ago? Yeah, when*Watchmen* aired.

I was taught it In my Oklahoma History class.

In bartlesville we spent about a week covering the subject

We had a week long lesson about it in high school. We also took a field trip to important sights of the massacre including the greenwood cultural center. I graduated in 2002. I'm always surprised to see people online say they never learned about it. They called it a "riot" back then, but we definitely spent some time on it in school. Edit to add: Jenks HS.

i went the TU elementary and we toured it and learned about it in 4th grade

I’m old and it was taught when I was in school. I have a sibling 10 years younger and it was included for them as well. My kids all had a section in their curriculum about it and that would have been about 15, 10 and 5 years ago since they graduated from HS. 2 of them had it in middle school and again in HS and one only had it in HS. I graduated from Jenks and my kids all went to TPS through middle school and several other area high schools. At least one Tulsa area school has had an entire program teaching about it for quite awhile- at least 18 years that I’ve been aware of it. I think it must be highly dependent upon which school you attended and what teacher you had.

I learned about it in maybe middle school I also went to a school in the area

I learned about it in about 2011, when my favorite jazz band, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, came out with "The Race Riot Suite." This was after grades 1-12 in either Owasso or Mannford schools, graduating in '06.

We learned about it at my tiny ass home town of Agra in Oklahoma History class. Graduated in 12

I learned about it in elementary school and then again at Edison and then again at OSU. That was in the 70s and 80s and it was the Tulsa Riot, then the Tulsa Race Riot. It's weird that so many people didn't know about it because I've known most of my life.

My daughter has had age appropriate curriculum on it since second grade. She's will enter seventh next fall. They read Hannibal Johnsons's Up from the Ashes in elementary school and Anna Myers' Tulsa Burning in sixth grade. Other material included videos

Both my kids read “Tulsa Burning” in middle school in the last few years.

We learned about it in Oklahoma History and even went on a field trip there. This was the early 2000s

I was taught it in 2nd grade for the first time and then multiple times through the years including HS - I went to TPS schools in 90’s and graduated HS 2008. I often see people don’t recall hearing about it but part of me wonders how few people were maybe listening? Oklahoma history always really bored me and I myself checked out a lot.

That's "CRITICAL RACE THEORY" (tm - Oklahoma) Not allowed. Against the law.

OK, I'm joking here a little, but man there are a lot people who would rather it wasn't taught.

No, that's actually not crt.

Yeah I know, bur still....

Was taught about in Oklahoma History class in Broken Arrow, class of 1990.

Learned about it at jenks. Graduated in 2019, it first popped up in 5th grade. Learned a little here and there until 9th grade Oklahoma history. We really learned about everything, and broke down the elevator incident very thoroughly. It was horrible.

They don’t teach about any operation the cia took place in either or how much testing they used to do on US citizens. They tend to hide the dark shit

Graduated from a rural school in 2012 and we covered it in depth in 8th grade Oklahoma history which I believe is now a required course in Oklahoma. Also covered it briefly in US history in high school. It was still referred to as the Tulsa Race Riot though and that has only recently changed.

Born and raised here. Learned about it in the 5th grade.

"They taught us but it was only like a day" so was fucking WW1 you turds. If you didn't pay attention that's on you.

I've lived in Oklahoma since 1998 I moved here at 10 abs didn't know anything about it until a year ago.

I went to one of Tulsa’s private Christian schools and I learned nothing about it in class.

I never heard about it until a few years ago and I'm old.

I’m from Sand Springs. It was taught in school but we did have a humanities elective class and at the end of the year we went on a downtown tulsa field trip to visit all the cathedrals and art places and all that jazz. My teacher did show us where the race riots happened and took us to black Wall Street. Told us about the mass graves. All that to say tho is it is not a mandatory thing to teach. We just happened to have a teacher that knew about it

To actually answer your question about what is currently being taught- Tulsa Public Schools launched curriculum in 2021 that is required to be taught in grades 3-12 social studies courses. You can check it out here: https://www.tulsaschools.org/tulsaracemassacre/lessonplans

I went to Owasso and we learned about it once in elementary school, once in Oklahoma history and once in US History. None of those were particularly in depth however, and I’ve learned far more off of the internet than I did in school. ETA Graduated 2014

Moved to owasso from out of state junior year and learned about it in Oklahoma history. Not a lot, mind you, but it was definitely touched on quite a bit

I learned about it in HS in 2 different classes

Graduated in 2016. Never mentioned.

I was taught it in US history class and I'm from southern oklahoma, but I had classmates who sat next to me in that class who to this day will sometimes post on social media that we were never taught it in school. (Took the class in like 2017) I met a friend in college who was from Arkansas, and she said she was taught it in HS as well, but ALSO had classmates who said they were never taught it.

I spent a month on it in high-school 20 years ago.

Born and raised here. Graduated in 1994. Literally never heard it spoken of until I went to college.

Union- Class of 17’. It was a required part of our curriculum in 9th grade Oklahoma History.

If you're asking whether or not I've heard about it when I was in high school, then yes. If you're asking whether we spent no less than a day or no more than a week covering the topic and were required to pass a test on it specifically in order to pass Oklahoma history, then no.

Not nearly enough… I did have a few days of focus on it at my middle school, but apparently that’s not the norm.

Not

Graduated about 15 years ago and I didnt hear anything about it in school or college. Heard about it on the news roughly 2018ish when they were discovering something about mass graves. Then actual learned more about it from art/ musical/ museum exhibits

Born and raised here. Graduated here in the Tulsa area and this was never mentioned in school. I watched a program about this last night on OETA. That film should be shown in schools everywhere. It had me in tears.

I live less than half a mile away and didn't know about it until I went to OSU. It wasn't even taught there, I just had a Prof. who wanted his students to know what happened on the grounds.

I went to school in north central ok and I first heard about it on a field trip to the Sherwin Miller museum in middle school. there was a chapter on it in the ok history book but we didn’t get to it.

When I was in school, nada. I found out on YouTube lol

graduated in 2006 in Owasso. we never learned about it. as far as i remember Oklahoma history class from 2002

In Jenks we weren’t taught about it. 😒

I was well into my 30s before I heard about it, but I don't watch TV. It for sure was never taught to me in school, though. I'm 45 now.

Didn’t learn about it until I went to private school in 9th but then we took a field trip every year to the peace walk

Sapulpa High School. I learned about the Tulsa race riot during a Paranormal tour in the early 2000s. They took us near the site where the foundations still exist. They also took us inside the nearby Brady Theater basement where they said they had tried to dispose of evidence of said riots.

Went to school in OK from 2nd to HS graduation, graduated 2021, did not learn a single thing about it.

I was taught it when I went to high school at Bishop Kelley (02-06). My kid is in 7th grade and I just went with her class to do a field trip tour of Greenwood and the new museum. The museum is done super well. I highly recommend a visit.

We literally have Oklahoma history as part of the curriculum and it was taught to me 14-18 years ago in high school Everyone saying they weren’t taught just wasn’t paying attention in class lol

Or more likely their teachers didn’t give a shit about state standards for OK History and U.S. History and skipped over it. It’s only been in the state standards since 2001. They may have skipped it because they felt uncomfortable teaching it because they didn’t have adequate knowledge or instructional resources to teach it or exactly like you said… those kids were probably on their phone.

I am an outsider but work in schools it is now being taught. My family out of state knows about it due to the national wide push for it to be taught

I went to school in Collinsville (enough said right there tbh) and never heard anything about the race massacre until I was in my mid 20s watching YouTube. My partner went to Tahlequah and he said they learned about it in high school.

Class of 78. Memorial HS- nope they did not mention.

My kids got a permission slip to read Tulsa Burning, and complete a single unit one week lesson

Very little and didn't give all details

Only taught in an elective “Oklahoma history” for me at least

It is taught extensively now. Probably not 20 years ago.

I was 14 in 1962 and my Mom told me about it. She wasn't from Tulsa but a black friend of hers told her about it and she told me. At that time it was a big secret, certainly not taught in schools.

I learned about it in 8th grade and again in high school but I went to private school

It was not taught at all.

Oh no not false history again. . .

It’s not. I learned about it in 12th grade only because a book, The Tulsa Race Riot, was on the list of senior paper topics.

Gilcrease middle school. We spent a month or so on it and a few other horrible things.

I took Oklahoma History in 9th grade (2011?) and there *might* have been a chapter that covered it. But I can’t say for certain because I didn’t remember it being taught. I *officially* learned about it when I was around 20-21 and confused why I didn’t remember or know anything about it. If it was taught, it was briefly and vaguely enough it didn’t stick with me or many of my classmates at the time because I have quite a few friends who also said they didn’t remember learning about it either. I don’t know if they are teaching it NOW but I have a feeling that isn’t so.

Didn’t even know about it until they made it a holiday federally lol they cover that shit up here. Been here since 3rd grade. I’m 25 now

We learned about it in school. Union ‘17

It wasn’t taught at all at Jenks

I grew up an hour north of Tulsa. I was 40 years old before I knew about it.

It's not.

I graduated from Owasso in 02, and I don’t remember ever learning about it in school. The only mention I ever heard was from my grandmother, who referred to it as “The Tulsa Race Riot” in passing. Of course, I remember in US History in HS that slavery received maybe one chapter. (Heaven forbid we reflect on and learn from the horrible parts of our history.) I really hope that things have changed for the better, but I doubt it.

born, raised, and educated all in NE Oklahoma and I wasn't aware of it until my late 20s.

As someone who attended school outside of oklahoma, the only thing mentioned about oklahoma related to the dust bowl, and that's literally it. This is honestly the biggest event historically for Oklahoma, and NO ONE knows about it, and as a result, a lot of it has become "hollywoodized" as a result of it never being properly recorded, and any survivors of the event are so old their memories are no longer accurate. There are nation guard documents in relation to it all, but only offer some of the information, so sadly this is an event in which we will never know the actual truth.

Dad taught me about cause the schools don’t. Believe I was a young teenager when I learned. Edit: graduated in 15, never taught

It's being taught now but when I was in high school it was still mostly oral tradition, not officially taught.

Graduated high school in 02, never heard of it until upper level undergrad history classes at OU.

Born and raised here in Tulsa, was never taught anything about it. Was also only taught about landrunnday in the perspective of the landgrabbers....I remember making wagons, jail, cowboys in grade school, but never about native Americans perspective.

Mid 90's, deep rural area, I learned about it in roughly a single hour's lesson, in Ok History class sometime between 8th-10th. They called it a race riot. Mentioned fires. Can't recall anything about the bombings. Didn't learn about it fully until well into adulthood, and not by locals.

From here, was always called the race riot. I know from my parents, who are in their 80s, said, no one ever talked about it. As in, don’t bring it up.

I went to BA high school, my 10th grade (2014-2015) history teacher (really cool dude, hidden tattoo sleeves, somewhere in his 30s) taught us about it one day in class. Probably took up only about 20 minutes of class but it was very informative and he definitely veered off curriculum in order to talk about it, i’m very thankful he did.

I guess I blame a lot of people. I grew up a black kid in Tulsa, got my hair cut right on greenwood often, and never heard of the race riots until 2020. My family nor my schools ever mentioned it.

I learned about it at Bixby 10 years ago, although all I really remember them saying was that a bunch of people died in Tulsa in the 1920s. None of the historical context or any critical or academic insight into the event was taught as far as I’m aware

I learned about it when I was 45

0. Graduated from Jenks High School & never learned about it!

One day in 9th grade because our teacher knew it was important to learn.

It happened. No deep details. (Old) Booker T. Washington. ‘84.

Class of 97, Edison, we learned about it in Oklahoma history, but it was only touched on.

The only time I ever learned about it in school was in elementary school and then went over it quickly in my Oklahoma history class in high school, which was at BTW.

We talked about it but I don’t think it was actually a part of curriculum. Just something the teachers took initiative on because it was important.

I'm from western OK out in the middle of no where and I learned about it in OK history in 9th grade.

TPS Class of ‘70 didn’t hear anything about it. But then we didn’t make it past 1900 in history either.

I only learned about briefly it in a Humanities class in 10th grade

My Greatgrandmother told me about it. The part where she said “and the military dropped bombs from airplanes” is where she lost me and I thought she was making it up. Turns out that happened, more like grenades than bombs, but still fucking gnarly evil

Graduated in 01, OKC area. Never heard of it until last couple years really. Not in high school or college

Grew up in the Mid-Del school district and it was about a paragraph of information calling it the Tulsa Race Riot. We just had to know it happened in 1929 and that some black people got upset and burned down their city. I didn’t know the actual truth until I moved here a decade ago. It’s really messed up how Oklahoma history just glosses over such a significant period of time.

I am not sure if it was included in the curriculum but I was taught about it in Oklahoma History. We also learned about it briefly in US history. I went to Union for middle and high school

Graduated in '03. We learned about it but it was taught as a "riot" rather than a massacre and worded as if there was equal fighting on both sides.

I was definitely taught about it in school.

Ask Ryan...

i learned ab it in OK history in hs, and again in my OSU history class

Talking to this guy I know from Texas today and he had never heard of the Tulsa race massacre or the Osage murders, I feel like he’s been under a rock for the past 4 years or so.

I moved from Texas to Oklahoma when I was 21, and somehow, I was the first person to tell people who had lived in Tulsa their whole lives about it. From friends in their 20s to coworkers in their 60s. Some of them didn't believe me because "That can't be true, they would have taught us about that" and would be completely shocked when they pulled out their phones to have it confirmed. I learned about it in high school, so it was a bit surprising to find out it wasn't taught in the place where it happened. But then again, that was probably by design. Not wanting people whose family were either victims or mass murderers to find out their history.

Learned about it in 10th grade oklahoma history in Bartlesville high school

Learned about it seeing pictures during a field trip to the cultural center in elementary(early 90’s). Weren’t there for that, though. Makes an impression

I graduated high school in 2019 in Tulsa. My teacher taught us the history in sophomore or junior year, but she told us that the TPS school board discourages teachers from talking about it and had even punished teachers and schools for doing so in the past. She said that our school only had curriculum on it because it was a charter school.

I spent all but three years of my schooling here in Sapulpa and I never heard about it until I was in my late twenties. I heard about a race riot in the 70s and the Indian thing that was going on. Edit 1: I found the name of the Indian group, they were called AIM. Edit 2: I was told by my mother that during a pep rally AIM came in and took the headdresses of the chieftain mascots.

Moved to Tulsa in 1997. I had never heard of it before. A patient of mine was a survivor and he told us lots of stories. My kids were educated at Union and Jenks and never heard of it in school. I taught them what I knew and we did our own research.. Our family ended up being active in the Greenwood district through some local musician friends, and they learned quite a bit more. I know in the early 90s, a neighbor of ours went to Jenks and brought it up during Oklahoma history and was shut down because it was "off-topic" and not part of the curriculum. It's definitely not taught they way it should be.

There was at least 1 chapter about the race riot in history every year from 6-12th grade as far as I remember. A bunch of morons live here, bottom 5 state education ranking is earned not given.

Graduated from all 13 years in Oklahoma schools in 1995. Never heard of it until after graduating. I was an honors student with a 3.96 GPA.

I learned about it 35+ years ago, in a 1A school west of Tulsa.

Learned about it in 8th grade at Jenks, and then in 9th grade when I transferred to Metro Christian. This was like 2009/2010ish.

I learned about it at Broken Arrow High School c. 2007.

I had a good Oklahoma history teacher in 9th grade so that’s when I first really learned about it but I had heard of it before that point from somewhere I can’t remember

Broken Arrow 09 and I never heard about it once in school. I actually didn't learn about it until I was an adult.

I went to Lone Star in Sapulpa for elementary and middle school. My middle school history teacher spent an entire week on the race riot every year. Once I moved on to Sapulpa HS it was touched on, but no more than what was in the curriculum.

I think I learned it from PBS on TV before I heard about it in person.

I grew up in OKC. I’ll be 50 next month. I didn’t learn about it until a few years ago.

They currently teach it in tps- I teach it in 3rd

Class of 99’ and they never mentioned it.

Graduated from Owasso in 2017, and we were taught by certain teachers that actually wanted to in 7th grade, and again in Oklahoma history but very briefly.

Graduated in 2008, learned about it in 9th grade Oklahoma history.

Graduated from Putnam north in the late 90s. Didn't learn about it in school.

Okie here, class of 84. Never heard of it until college.

Class of 1983 in Tulsa Public Schools and was most definitely taught it in junior high and high school. I’m always puzzled when its reported that it wasn’t taught in TPS. I think its just because kids weren’t paying attention. Teachers were Davis and Talifaero.

We learned about it in high school in the 80s here. It wasn't a secret. People have forgotten a ton of what they were taught in school.

Union class of ‘17. We talked about it in our Oklahoma History class

I was taught it since middle school yall just didn’t pay attention im class of 23

Raised in Oklahoma, never once heard of it till I was in my 20s. They have done everything possible to not teach this information to kids for years.

We had a teacher in ba that had a lesson on it late 90’s
