I am familiar with it as an Oklahoman and also because my father-in-laws family had an African-American maid; they left their home to go "rescue" her from the mayhem. An especially interesting part of the story is that - based on what I have heard - the African-American section of Tulsa at that time was very wealthy, indeed, compared to the rest of the country. I look forward to more. Best Regards, Jim Schmidt Chris -
