The last several days have included memorials to the Tulsa race massacre of 1921. One thing pointed out is that the memory of it was deliberately buried, which is true for my experience. Never heard of it until I did, and was then, and still am, thunderstruck by the savagery and brutality. How can white people be forgiven for such an act? That was 100 years ago, and black people are still brutalized, murdered, ruined, if now one by one and by the police. Time must be very long to grind away such stains.
Joyful news that Washington Place is now a published book. I never mentioned it much, suspecting that it might not happen. What joy to be wrong! Anxious to hold a copy in my hands.
The first day there were no new bamboo shoots.
