Some critical initial newspaper material is missing.

Nothing about riot in Tulsa histories, taught in Tulsa schools, in national books about black history.

Franklin's family lived in Tulsa at the time; his father moved family immediately after riot.

IMO riot only got attention in OK after article in a Smithsonian publication and some stories in out-of-state newspapers.
