Dreamland Burning
Screenwriter and Composer: Tevin Thomas
Playwright: John Lisbon Wood
Genre: Theatrical Production
Rumors, incendiary reporting by the newspapers– using phrases like “Nab Negro for Attacking Girl In an Elevator (Tulsa Tribune),” and “To Lynch Negro Tonight (headline used by racist newspaperman Richard Lloyd Jones),” played a major part in spurring the violence that resulted in the killing of innocent men, women and children. Yet, the facts surrounding the incident were never clear, and as a result, many of Tulsa’s residents and Americans, to this day, know very little surrounding the incident.
Academy Award nominated songwriter (“Raise it Up”) Tevin Thomas and his friend, Award-winning playwright John Lisbon Wood believed the story and history of the 1921 Tulsa riot had to be told.
