RESURRECTION By Anne L. Thomspon-Scretching is a fantasy based on true events. The characters in this play are dead and have been resurrected to tell the story of the largest race riot in the history of the United States.

1921 - the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma had been so prosperous that it was nicknamed NEGRO WALL STREET by Booker T. Washington. A riot broke due to a [false] accusation by a caucasian woman of having been raped by a "colored" man. A trial was held and was dismissed by the judge because the woman gave such bizarre, conflicting testimony as to what happened. But this was not the end. A mob was so infuriated by the result that the town of Greenwood was burned to the ground, killing hundreds. This is their story.
