in 1946, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Morgan v. Virginia that racial segregation on interstate buses was unconstitutional—an early milestone in the struggle for civil rights.
The case began in 1944, when Irene Morgan refused to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a bus to Baltimore, an act of resistance that led to her arrest and helped change the course of history.

in 1921, a race riot broke out in Black Wall Street of Tulsa, OK, after African-American messenger Dick Rowland was accused of attacking white elevator operator Sarah Page.
Amid racial resentment against black wealth, white lynch mobs gathered, and authorities launched bombs, killing hundreds.
The African American community never fully recovered, nor was the incident in history books.
