World. In the ephemeris of this June 1 Several important events that marked the history of humanity stand out, for example: 1921, the racist massacre of Tulsa (Oklahoma) takes place, one of the greatest episodes of racial violence in the history of the United States, when a mob of whites , between May 31 and June 1, many of them supported by local authorities, razed, looted and burned more than 1,200 homes in Greenwood, a symbol of the progress of the black population in the US after the end of slavery half a century ago. The exact number of dead is unknown because no one wanted to investigate, although historians now place the deceased at at least 300.
On the same date, but in 2002, 26 peasants from Santiago Xochiltepec (Mexico) died when they were shot by residents of San Pedro el Alto, in the state of Oaxaca, due to a land conflict.
