Encore: Tulsa Race Massacre | Bearing Witness | 5

<p>Like many Americans, Anneliese Bruner didn’t hear about the Tulsa Race Massacre growing up. But what made it surprising in her case was that her grandmother and great-grandmother were survivors of the massacre. Still, a conspiracy of silence surrounded the events of May 31 and June 1, 1921, even in Bruner’s own home.</p><p>Today, Bruner is fighting to change that. This year, she re-published her great-grandmother Mary Parrish’s written account of the destruction under the title <em>The Nation Must Awake: My Witness to the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. </em>On this episode, she joins Lindsay to discuss the massacre’s legacy, the efforts to restore its place in American history, and the case for offering reparations to survivors and their descendents. </p><p>Listen to new episodes 1 week early and to all episodes ad free with Wondery+.
