Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre

內容簡介

內容簡介 無法說的土爾沙種族大屠殺 很久以前，接近奧克拉荷馬的土爾沙，居民開採油礦致富，創造了很多就業機會，建築物一棟一棟地蓋，外來人口湧入打拼，尋找機會。這裡的居民大部分是非裔血統，因此土爾沙被譽為黑人的華爾街。然而非裔人士風生水起的企業發展，卻引起種族主義者的不滿，引發殺機。1921年，白人暴徒開車衝撞、持槍掃射、縱火、轟炸，造成300人亡故，800多人受傷，但事件消息被壓制， 75年來沒有官方紀錄，遲至1990才成立調查委員會。作者Carole Boston Weatherford和畫家Floyd Cooper 以繪本喚醒這段沉痛記憶，並也期許，記住歷史教訓，擁抱更好未來。"
