The white population in the process completely destroyed a successful and thriving black business community, among other things. Great and necessary introduction for older children to the Tulsa Race Massacre, a grim and shameful moment in American history everyone needs to know about. Important history.ĭave (teacher) (5 stars). One of the best of the year, without question. #6 is “Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre,” by Carol Boston Weatherford and illustrated by Floyd Cooper, about one of the worst racial incidents in US history, in 1921, but this one was left out of history books for decades. As my kids get older, they have mostly dropped out of the reading, but I still have anywhere from 2-4 readers with me this year. So I consulted a couple sources for likely Caldecott Award nominees, and I asked a few people to read them with me in general they are so much better than, for instance, last year’s GR bunch. With the suspension of the Goodreads Choice 2021 Picture Book category, I was of mixed feelings first, my family yearly rates all the nominees, but we had in recent years been less impressed with the nominees (which Rod Brown found were often published by Amazon subsidiaries).
