Donald Trump is reportedly planning to hold a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 19, a day marked for remembrance and reverence in the hearts of Black residents of Oklahoma, and those who resoundingly state “Black Lives Matter.”
Tulsa, which stands as a marker of Black and brown bloodshed, Juneteenth, a honored celebration in the Black community, and Trump’s dismissive gathering tactics, holding rallies when a pandemic has been largely forgotten, is below despicable.
Over a dozen mostly Black high school students were booted from a January 2016 rally where Trump made his case for president leading up to the November elections, Tulsa World reports.
Many notable voices have led their thoughts on Trump’s irrevocable harm in moving forward with a rally in the same environment where Black people are being killed and mistreated by police in a similar fashion of the local law enforcement in Tulsa in 1921.
Not to mention that the descendants of the white mob who sought to destruct, kill and terrorize, along with the descendants of the Black Tulsa residents who were senselessly murdered, still call Tulsa home.
