Newspaper clipping from the Tulsa Daily World published June 10, 1921, and entitled "Charges Neglect Of Riot Victims; Cooke Says the White Wounded Are Not Properly Cared For; Statement Is Denied; Red Cross Head Has Had No Reports of White Victims in Need of Assistance." This article reports that Reverend Harold G. Cooke, minister of the Centenary Southern Methodist Church in Tulsa, claims that no attention has been paid by relief workers to wounded Caucasians and their families in the aftermath of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The article states that Cooke possesses a list of between forty and fifty Caucasian convalescents who need assistance. The article reports that Maurice Willows, the director of the American Red Cross relief efforts in Tulsa, has no information confirming any such Caucasians. He asks for the assistance of the community to identify anyone who needs help. |
