Review: Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre

Yesterday, I saw “Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre” at a bookstore. The cover illustration alone was enough to make me pick it up and read. I love picture books that make a complex topic comprehensible. “Unspeakable” does this.


“Unspeakable” tells the tale of the Tulsa Race Massacre in poetic, yet child-friendly language. The lush illustrations add depth and additional emotion. The story ends on a hopeful note of reconciliation. There is additional information about the Tulsa Race Massacre at the end of the book that is great for adults and older kids. 


I would recommend this book for anyone looking for an introduction to the Tulsa Race Massacre. Carole Boston Weatherford (writer) and Floyd Cooper (illustrator) created an outstanding work. Read it today!
