America's Lost Black Towns Vol. 2 — Burned & Driven Out (Kid-Friendly Edition — Interactive Edition)

Three towns that were attacked — and what happened next. Rosewood, in Florida, was burned by a mob in 1923, and its families had to run and never return; many years later, the state of Florida finally said it was wrong and paid the survivors. In Georgia, riders in the night frightened every Black family out of a whole county — 1,098 people — and today the little town they left sits under a lake. And in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the famous town of Greenwood was burned — and then its people did something amazing: they rebuilt it, house by house and shop by shop, until it was bigger than before. Every chapter ends with The Receipt — one true line to remember — and a note telling you exactly where the story came from. Hard things are told truly and briefly here, the way the record tells them.
