Trump is returning to the campaign trail on Friday, June 19, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The date and location are questionable, considering June 19 is Juneteenth, which celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation, and Tulsa, is where a Black area known as Greenwood was destroyed by white terrorists 99 years ago this month.
Kamua Marshall, the Director of Strategic Communications for Joe Biden, tweeted, “How racist is Donald Trump: He’s so racist that he plans on having one of his first campaign rallies on June 19th in Tulsa, OK.
Juneteenth (June 19, 1865) is the day Union troops came to Galveston Island, Texas and forced the state to free its slaves.
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, in May and June of 1921, a 17-year-old white girl falsely accused a Black teenager of assault and white terrorism ensued, resulting in a thriving Black area being burned to the ground.
