Get the Storie mug.Known as Greenwood Avenue.
Greenwood Avenue was populated by successful African American families, businesses, hospitals and churches. All this would change on May 31. A young black man was accused of attempting to rape a white woman in a Tulsa elevator. Later, a rumor flew through the community that a lynch party was forming. Several young black men formed a defense party. At the courthouse they encountered a group of white men. Strong words (and some say bullets) were let loose. A pitched gun battle began right there on the spot. Soon, the white rioters forgot about their immediate targets and concentrated on looting and burning Greenwood Avenue. The mayor had to call in the National Guard from Oklahoma City to end the violence. In the aftermath, dozens of people, black and white, were dead. The exact body count is still unknown. Greenwood Avenue was completely gone; burned to the ground. Fortunately, many residents refused to be scared away by the riots, and rebuilt the neighborhood. The scars from the ordeal, however, haunt many African American residents of Tulsa to this day.

Get the street flossing mug.A street beer is a beer that you take with you on a trip, obviously walking, to the store, pub, match, church, etc. This beer helps you get through all the mouth-breathing wankers that you may encounter on your trip. It also gives you that "running start" before you enter the pub or match. Also it may save you from that terrible dred you get while in church or the store. Upon arrival you dispose of the bevvy and access the institution. This maybe the answer to being infinitely cool. (Enter Shikari, 2009)
"Hey mate, you better toss that street beer before you go into the pub. Otherwise Daisy will kill ya."
