About a year or so ago two guys in Tulsa, one of them White and the other a Native American, decided it would be fun to kill a few blacks. So they did. I think the total was five dead and a few more wounded.

They just drove around early in the morning and shot Black people at random.

The Black population of Tulsa, as well as everyone else, when nuts. There was some serious talk about burning the place to the ground.

Jessie showed up and spoke at a large rally where he implored everyone to calm down, that the killers would be caught, and that until they were everyone needed to understand that there are evil people in this world and rioting would do nothing to change this.

So there was no riot, and the killers were caught a day or so later.

I don't know really how much Jessie had to do with it, but things did calm down after he showed up and spoke.
