“...when you had to choose between history and legend, print the legend.”-John Ford.
“Ransom Stoddard: You’re not going to use the story, Mr. Scott?
Maxwell Scott: No, sir. This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.”
So in the Tulsa riot there was “Million Gazillion blacks killed!”
Exactly! And the white residents started it even though it was blacks that marched to the jail and rioted, then went for armed reinforcements.
