520    "When Ed Goodwin moved with his parents to Greenwood, 
       Tulsa, his family joined a growing community on the cusp 
       of becoming the center of Black life in the West. But, 
       just a few years later, on May 31, 1921, the teenaged Ed 
       hid in a bathtub as a white mob descended on his 
       neighborhood. They laid waste to 35 blocks and murdering 
       as many as 300 people. The Tulsa Race Massacre was one of 
       the worst acts of racist violence in United States 
       history. The Goodwins and many of their neighbors soon 
       rebuilt the district into "a Mecca," in Ed's words, where 
       nightlife thrived, small businesses flourished, and an 
       underworld economy lived comfortably alongside public 
       storefronts. Ed grew into a prominent businessman and 
       bought a community newspaper called the Oklahoma Eagle to 
       chronicle its resurgence and battles against white 
       bigotry. He and his genteel wife, Jeanne, raised an 
       ambitious family, who became literal poster-children for 
       black progress, and their son Jim, an attorney, embodied 
       their hopes for the Civil Rights Movement. But, by the 
       1970s urban renewal policies had nearly emptied the 
       neighborhood, even as Jim and his neighbors tried to hold 
       onto pieces of Greenwood. Today, the newspaper remains, 
       and Ed's granddaughter Regina represents the neighborhood 
       in the Oklahoma state legislature, working alongside a new
       generation of local activists"--|cProvided by publisher.
