Tale of the Tulsa Massacre Told in Picture/Video Montage and Song

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 20, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In kind recognition of Juneteenth, also known as "Emancipation Day" or "Freedom Day," which commemorates June 19, 1865 when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas and gave word to enslaved African Americans that they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, it is also important to remember the struggle that lives on. To this point, please watch “Tulsa”, a poignant track by Singer/Songwriter Mark Newman co-written with Walter Roberti in remembrance of the Tulsa Black Wall Street Race Riot of 1921, (which just marked it’s infamous 100th anniversary last June). The video was Directed by George Panagakos of 525 Media.
