Title
A name given to the resource
Tulsa Star
Description
An account of the resource
The Tulsa Star was a newspaper, one of the 2 African- American owned and run papers in Tulsa at the time of the riot. It moved to Tulsa with its publisher A. J. Smitherman, from Muskogee, where it had been the Muskogee Star. During the riot and the aftermath, Smtiherman and the Star was blamed for much of the riot, because of his editorial policies. Smitherman fled to Buffalo, NY to escape prosecution for inciting the riot, and the Star was destroyed.
The charges against A. J. Smitherman were dismissed by the city of Tulsa in December 2007.
Because the Star was destroyed (and according to folklore the press and type helped to establish the Oklahoma Eagle newspaper), the photos in this collection are all from pre-riot Greenwood.
The other paper, the Oklahoma Sun was also destroyed in the riot.

East side of Greenwood from Archer, shortly after the burning
Description
An account of the resource
This image depicts the east side of Greenwood Ave. Details are sufficient to indicate that this is fairly early after the burning, likely the evening of 1 June. The blurred figures show a lengthy shutter speed was used, suggesting a low ambient light level.
<p>The key to the numbers was in the <em>Chicago Defender</em> article:</p>
<ol><li>The ruins of the Stradford Hotel, owned by J.B. Stradford, valued at $65,000, containing 66 rooms.</li>
<li>Dreamland Theater, owned by Wesley Williams. [Note that the Dreamland sign is still hanging, indicating the early time period of the photograph].</li>

<li>Woods building, occupied by the Earl real estate co. [The article implies that the safe was from the real estate company. It is also possible, and has been suggested elsewhere, that the safe had been in Dr. Bridgewater's office, also in the Woods Building, where it had been used as a bank. Also in the Woods Building were the new offices of the <em>Oklahoma Sun</em> newspaper, in the space formerly occupied by the <em>Tulsa Star</em>; Gentry's real estate; Mary Parrish's school; and two other physicians.]</li>
