South of tulsa about 60 miles south. My father and mother moved there about 1911 or 12 because he had had experiences in shreveport, louisiana. These are as red experiences that were not present. He was ready to give up on the white people because the way they treated him. He had been thrown out of court in shreveport, louisiana. So he retreated from shreveport and where he was practicing and went to an allblack town. Due to the humiliation he experienced in shreveport. They moved to in about 1912. What was that experience like . It was not all that much better because although the strife that was going on separated the methodist from the baptists and the baptists were hard on my mother and father because they were methodist. And the result was, the strife was not racial, but religions. Not at all convenient or comfortable. I was born there. They lived there for several years after i was born. But they were not happy there. Not nearly because of the hostility but because it was such a
The entire black community was burned to the ground so the only what sparked that riot . A young black man who was accused of assaulting, a sexually assaulting a white woman in an elevator. He had been acquitted. But the White Community felt justice had not been served. And that most of the white people felt all the blocks should be taught a lesson. Although he had been in jail and was being accused of this crime. The white people said they would get him out of jail and commit the kind of harm to him that would teach all the black people in the community a lesson. So the black Community Felt he would be seized and lynched. Large numbers of black people went back to the courthouse, armed.

Which they were willing to do but as they retreated from the courthouse. Someone fire the gun and the rest is history. Good afternoon and welcome to

This time 48 hours from now. Wednesday night between 5 30 and 6 00, the winds should start picking up. In the areas we are talking about, in sonoma county, 35 to 45 mileperhour wind gusts. In the north bay, the same thing. Then, out in the mountains up high, 55 to 60 mileperhour wind gusts, which means those other kinds of wins that can really start trouble if electrical lines fail, which is why they necessitate these needs for these things. The other things they talked about, they really dont want to shut the power off. They say they only do it for safety. Certainly, the question of their liability rises. You get the sense that this new ceo really understand both working for a publicly owned power agency, the Tennessee Valley authority, the nations biggest, and he ate enterprise. I think he is a utilpast. As a result of that, this guy seems to be good for his word. The problem is, this is a work in progress. They dont really have the ability to harden the system.
