Praise for The Ground Breaking : "There is no more scholarly or elegant telling of this uniquely American story--the horrible hours a century ago when Tulsa's black community was obliterated by a white mob; the breathtaking conspiracy of silence that followed; the long coda to the tragedy that is still being written. But this book is also a memoir and it is Ellsworth's story that has found its way most deeply into my bones. He was the white Tulsa boy changed by an early experience of virulent racism. He was the scholar who dedicated his life to unearthing what happened. He became a truthteller and an example for us all. I believe that the path of true racial reconciliation runs through millions of American Whites, whose hearts would be changed if they only knew our history. To those people I would simply say this: Please read this book."-- Tim Madigan , award-winning author of The Burning: The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 "Scott Ellsworth's absolutely riveting book does more that chronicle the Tulsa Race massacre of 1921 and its literal exhumation. With a stunning combination of objectivity and empathy, it demonstrates how even in polarized times we can come together in pursuit of truth. Though concerned with past events, it explores every stratum of the American city now--from City Hall, to dive bars, to homeless encampments, to the living rooms of the wealthy and the poor, regardless of color or creed. Anyone interested in America's future should read it as a template for the reconciliation that lies ahead."-- Tim Blake Nelson , actor, Watchmen and Just Mercy , and Tulsa native "This is a book that fuses history and memory with the unresolved search for justice for the victims of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre. It is also a searing story of Ellsworth's personal journey as he struggles to unearth and come to terms with these events, and the journey of a community as it moves through forgetting, denial, and finally some grudging acceptance of what happened. The horrific events of 1921 have been called a riot, a disaster, a pogrom, and finally a race massacre. Ellsworth shows how each renaming is a direct result of the persistent efforts of those who would dig up what had been carefully and deliberately hidden. This book should be essential reading for anyone interested in an honest grappling with our racial past and with the task of moving forward."-- Kenneth W. Mack, Professor of Law, Harvard University, Praise for The Ground Breaking : "There is no more scholarly or elegant telling of this uniquely American story--the horrible hours a century ago when Tulsa's black community was obliterated by a white mob; the breathtaking conspiracy of silence that followed; the long coda to the tragedy that is still being written.

Mack, Professor of Law, Harvard University "America cannot address the crisis in which we find ourselves because we are unwilling to acknowledge the road that brought us here. We are determined to look away, as if hiding the empty cake plate will help us lose weight. What we stand to lose instead is the hope of our democratic heritage. Scott Ellsworth is willing to dig, and willing to help us to see who we have been in hopes that we will rise to who we must be. The Tulsa Massacre of 1921 is one of the most significant and revealing episodes of American history, and one we must confront in order to find our way. The Ground Breaking will rattle you, and it should. It will move you toward a harder wisdom, and it must."-- Tim Tyson , Senior Research Scholar, Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, author of The Blood of Emmett Till , Radio Free Dixie: Robert F. Williams and the Roots of Black Power and Blood Done Sign My Name
Synopsis
2021 National Book Award Longlist 2022 Carnegie Medal Nonfiction Longlist One of The New York Times' "11 New Books We Recommend This Week" One of Oprah Daily's "20 of the Best Books to Pick Up This May" One of The Oklahoman 's " 15 Books to Help You Learn About the Tulsa Race Massacre as the 100-Year Anniversary Approaches" A The Week book of the week As seen in documentaries on the History Channel, CNN, and Lebron James's SpringHill Productions And then they were gone. More than one thousand homes and businesses. Restaurants and movie theaters, churches and doctors' offices, a hospital, a public library, a post office. Looted, burned, and bombed from the air. Over the course of less than twenty-four hours in the spring of 1921, Tulsa's infamous "Black Wall Street" was wiped off the map--and erased from the history books. Official records were disappeared, researchers were threatened, and the worst single incident of racial violence in American history was kept hidden for more than fifty years. But there were some secrets that would not die. A riveting and essential new book, The Ground Breaking not only tells the long-suppressed story of the notorious Tulsa race massacre. It also unearths the lost history of how the massacre was covered up, and of the courageous individuals who fought to keep the story alive. Most important, it recounts the ongoing archaeological saga and the search for the unmarked graves of the victims of the massacre, and of the fight to win restitution for the survivors and their families. Both a forgotten chronicle from the nation's past and a story ripped from today's headlines, The Ground Breaking is a page-turning reflection on how we, as Americans, must wrestle with the parts of our history that have been buried for far too long., 2021 National Book Award Longlist 2022 Carnegie Medal Nonfiction Longlist One of The New York Times' "11 New Books We Recommend This Week" One of Oprah Daily's " 20 of the Best Books to Pick Up This May " One of The Oklahoman 's " 15 Books to Help You Learn About the Tulsa Race Massacre as the 100-Year Anniversary Approaches " A The Week book of the week As seen in documentaries on the History Channel, CNN, and Lebron James's SpringHill Productions And then they were gone.
