His former work includes a national award for his reporting on the 1923 Rosewood Massacre for Time Magazine when Luckerson was a business reporter and a former staff writer at The Ringer. Luckerson is based in Tulsa, where he manages an email newsletter about underexplored aspects of Black history called Run It Back. Luckerson recently talked to the MSR about “Built from the Fire,” his first book, which will be released on May 23. The Goodwins survived the massacre, as well as urban renewal and gentrification in the years that followed. However, seven years later, in 1921, Ed Goodwin, then a teenager, had to hide in a bathtub as a White mob took over his neighborhood, murdering as many as 300 people in a 35-block radius during what is known as the Tulsa Race Massacre.Ī new book, “Built from the Fire” by journalist Victor Luckerson (Random House), tells the multigenerational saga of the Goodwin family who lived in Tulsa’s Greenwood District-also known as “Black Wall Street”-that seemingly produced so much envy among their White neighbors that one of the most brutal acts of racial violence in U.S. YouTube star Connie Glynn is back with the sparkling follow-up to Undercover Princess, which Kirkus described as Cinderella meets Mean Girls while at Hogwarts. When the Goodwin family moved to Greenwood, a growing Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1914, it had all the makings of becoming a thriving center of Black life.
