Book Title: The Nation Must Awake: My Witness to the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 Book
Description: Mary Parrish was reading in her home when the Tulsa race massacre began on the evening of May 31, 1921. Parrish’s daughter, Florence Mary, called the young journalist and teacher to the window. “Mother,” she said, “I see men with guns.” The Nation Must Awake is Parrish’s first-person account, compiled along with the recollections of nearly two dozen others, of what is now recognized as one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history. The afterword is by Mary’s great granddaughter, Anneliese M. Bruner with an introduction by John Hope Franklin and Scott Ellsworth.
