Answer:

It was a racially induced massacre where White residents killed black residents and destroyed their properties

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tulsa race was riot that happened in the year 1921 between the months of may and June. White residents after receiving weapons from officials attacked the residential homes of black people, destroyed their properties and their businesses. This took place in Oklahoma Tulsa. This event was a racially induced violence that left lots of people without homes and hundreds of others killed

What led to this riot was an elevator incidence that involved a black boy and a female white elevator operator.
