Opal's Greenwood Oasis

"A beautiful and poignant reminder of the industry, joy and resilience of Black people in America."-Trey Ellis, Peabody and Emmy winning producer of King in the Wilderness andTrue Justice: Bryan Stevenson's Fight for Equality The year is 1921, and Opal Brown would like to show you around her beautiful neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Filled with busy stores and happy families, Opal also wants you to know that "everyone looks like me."In both words and illustrations, this carefully researched and historically accurate book allows children to experience the joys and success of Greenwood, one of the most prosperous Black communities of the early 20th Century, an area Booker T. Washington dubbed America's Black Wall Street.Soon after the day narrated by Opal, Greenwood would be lost in the Tulsa Race Massacre, the worst act of racial violence in American history. As we approach the centennial of that tragic event, children have the opportunity through this book to learn and celebrate all that was built in Greenwood.

A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2020\nAn online affair that isn't what--or with what--it seems. Jesus' last thoughts on the Cross. The birth of science in ancient Sumeria and its death in modern West Hartford. These stories are driven by dark humor as well as ideas, as we see in the miseries of a middle-school boy drafted into his stepfather's Civil War re-enactments, or The Sopranos as written by Raymond Chandler. This is fiction for people who like to think. And laugh, too.
