A postcard made from a photograph (1989.004.5.58). A large group of people are being escorted by several men in civilian attire with an automobile alongside. They have just crossed the tracks and are passing in front of the Continental Supply Co. (offices at 19 S. Main). There is an issue with this image since while the Continental Supply Co. on the south side of the tracks, the address is on the east side of the street. The structures in the rest of the image are also not consistant with this being that part of Main St. Title is taken from the writing on the face of the postcard.

“National Guards taking Negroes to ball park for protection. Race Riot at Tulsa June 1st 1921,” June 1, 1921
