	Description:		This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, which most Americans have never heard of. In 1921, white Tulsa residents destroyed the Black neighborhood of Greenwood, OK, in two days of bloodshed, fire, and violence. Anywhere from 39 to more than 300 Black people were killed. We speak with the descendants of survivors and look at the Massacre 100 years later. We also speak with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack about a new program to help Black farmers tackle debt.
