"People came and said, 'Run, they are shooting people,' " says Wess Young, who was 4 then. "We evacuated. They were destroying everything."
The death toll has been debated for years, because many victims were dumped in mass graves. An American Red Cross estimate puts the total at 300, much higher than the 36 reported by local officials.
The riot devastated the social underpinnings of the Greenwood community and leveled a black economic force. Greenwood was rebuilt, but it never recovered.
"It was a really tragic end to thriving businesses. I think we'd be a lot further ahead had that area been able to continue to thrive," says Walker.
Wess Young and his family rebuilt their lives in Tulsa. When asked what he thought America would be like if the Tulsa race riot had not happened, he answers without hesitation, "We would have had a black president before now. ... He has done a good job, but we [blacks are] still in a box."
His advice to people is to let go of the past once they've learned from it.
"Hate will destroy your whole universe -- got to learn how to forgive, but never forget," Young says.
Walker says these stories of black struggle and survival motivate him.
"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors," he says. "I just want to be as successful as possible so I can turn around and be mentors and sponsors to other people who come after me."

H A P P Y N E W Y E A R S!!!!!
Happy birthday to the mom of the Maslyn Sons (and daughter)… we are grateful for you providing our work force! Thanks for all you do. We love you!
A very Merry Christmas from our house to yours.
The Maslyn Mrs. is not know for her love of cooking or cleaning, but one recipe she thinks every cook should know is this brunch family favorite. She though you might like to have it for Christmas morning! It is not low-fat, but hey, it’s a holiday.
Cut up bread in cubes & spread in 1/2 in greased casserole dish.
Mix the rest of the ingredients together & pour over bread.
Use a flat spatula to press down bread so it is fully saturated.
Cover with plastic wrap & let it sit in the fridge over night.
Cook all ingredients except the butter for 2 minutes in a small saucepan on the stove until it is bubbly.
Remove from stove & stir in butter.
Pour over baked strata right before you serve it.
We wish for you a working oven all holiday season long, but if you do happen to need an oven repair, call Maslyn & Sons Appliance and we will be there to help so you can make this tasty recipe for your family. (And remember not to clean your oven right before a big holiday as that is the #1 time ovens tend to go out.
To keep the oven, garbage disposal and kitchen sink drain in good working condition this holiday season, take some precautions. Oven problems usually go unnoticed until the big meal is already inside the oven, so a few minutes spent checking your kitchen appliances could save your holiday season.
Also, as we mentioned at Thanksgiving, avoid running the self-cleaning cycle RIGHT before a big holiday dinner (because this might cause something to go wrong with your oven… do it WELL in advance so if something breaks, you have plenty of time to call Maslyn & Sons Appliance out).
Replace gaskets at the first sign of a leak or if moisture appears on outside of oven.
Avoid pouring grease down your drain into your garbage disposal.
Throw leftovers in the trash or compost pile instead of putting down the garbage disposal.
Ensure there is enough space around appliances to allow heat to escape.
So pleased to welcome a new “daughter-in-love” to our family!
*Replace charcoal filter on your VENT HOOD (1x every 12 months).
*Swap out rubber drain hoses for braided stainless steel on your WASHER to prevent floods and leaks.
Maslyn & Sons Appliance repair does appliance maintenance as well as appliance repair!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together mustard, syrup, and vinegar. Place chicken breasts into 9×13 baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour mustard mixture over chicken. No need to marinate.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 165 degrees. Season with rosemary. Prepare for people to ask you to make it again.
“Thanksgiving. It’s like we didn’t even TRY to come up with a tradition. The tradition is, we overeat.
Get your microwave squeaky clean before you have guests for the holiday. It will work better AND be less embarrassing!
Fill a microwave-safe glass or bowl half full of water. Add a tablespoon of white vinegar.
Turn on for 5 minutes. You may need less time in a high-powered microwave oven; keep an eye on it the first time you try this. This will steam up the walls of the microwave and loosen the dried-on gunk.
Remove the glass container (with hot pads). Wipe down the inside of the microwave with a clean rag or paper towel while it is still steamy and the gunk is still softened.
The loose gunk should come off easily now.
Take out the glass tray or turntable and wash it like a dish. You could even run it through the dishwasher if you have time.
We hope your appliances stay in tip-top working order as you enter this busy holiday season, but if they don’t, call Maslyn and Sons Appliance and we will come out and do your microwave repair in a jiffy!

Two recently published reports shed damning light on the high cost of low wages in the fast food industry – an industry dominated by the restaurant giant McDonald’s, which raked-in over $5.4 billion in profits last year.
The reports – Super Sizing Public Costs: How Low Wages at Top Fast-Food Chains Leave Taxpayers Footing the Bill and Fast Food, Poverty Wages: The Public Cost of Low-Wage Jobs in the Fast-Food Industry – argue that low-wages in the fast-food industry cost taxpayers nearly $7 billion annually.
Medicaid and CHIP (the Children’s Health Insurance Program) account for more than half of the $7 billion, at an average of $3.9 billion annually. Additionally, due to low earnings, fast food workers’ families also receive an annual average of $1.04 billion in food stamp benefits and $1.91 billion in Earned Income Tax Credit payments.
The ten largest fast-food companies alone made more than $7.4 billion in profits in 2012 and paid their top executives more than $53 million in compensation.
Low-wage fast-food jobs cost tax-payers the most in California ($717 million), New York ($708 million), Texas ($556 million), Illinois ($368 million), and Florida ($348 million).
According to Super Sizing Public Costs, “McDonald’s represents the most costly fast-food company for tax-payers.” Low wages and lack of benefits at McDonald’s cost tax-payers “$1.2 billion every year in public assistance programs,” according to the report.
YUM! Brands (Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC), Subway, Burger King and Wendy’s round-out the top five fast-food companies with workers who rely on public assistance.
The median average wage for fast-food workers is $8.69; an estimated 87 percent of fast-food workers do not receive health benefits. Furthermore, 67 percent of front-line fast-food workers are adults 20 and older; 68 percent are the main earners in their families and more than one-quarter are raising children.
“This business model puts tax-payers on the hook, while rewarding corporate CEO’s,” Jack Temple, a policy analyst for the National Employment Law Project and co-author of Super Sizing Public Costs, said during a conference call with the press on October 15.
The reports come on the heels of a nation-wide wave of fast-food worker strikes; most recently strikes took place in over 60 cities across the nation with thousands of fast-food workers walking off their jobs.
“The CEO of McDonald’s makes more in a day than I make in a year,” Yates added.
Fast-food workers nationally are calling for $15 an-hour in pay and the right to form or join a union without retaliation.
Jacobs also addressed the wave of non-traditional worker organizing taking place in fast-food, retail and other low-wage service sector jobs.

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. -- On Tuesday, hundreds of soldiers returned home from a nine-month deployment in Afghanistan.
"It's excitement (and) nervousness because you never know how the children are going to react, but overall just a lot of excitement," said Lindsay Dunne.
Lindsay Dunne, and her two boys were waiting for their soldier to get off the plane and march into the hangar, "The boys were yelling and screaming and I was looking for him."
Gail Mintz was there to find her little cousin Keandre Corizine, "It feels amazing. We are just glad they all made it back safely."
This was Corizine's first deployment. He says although he got used to being away, there is no feeling like coming home, "New experience being away from family, but I was adapting and adjusting to most things. Dealing with the heat and the workouts was pretty tough some days but, you know just brush it off."
For fifteen minutes, before leaving briefly to return their gear, these soldiers were holding their loved ones tight. Kevin O'Malley spent those minutes meeting his son for the first time, "Its been a long nine months or so but I'm just happy to be home."
After a 12-hour flight and an emotional reunion soldiers like Joseph Dunne are ready to head home, "I was excited to see them. I was ready to get all this over with so we can go home and see each other."
During this deployment, the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade provided aviation support to U.S. coalition and Afghan forces.
In February, 700 soldiers will return home to Fort Campbell.
When Cait and I found out how easy it is to make ravioli–and with such completely impressive and delicious results!–we just had to share this fabulous harvest recipe with you.
This dish is a poem to autumn, filled with sweet, tender butternut squash combined with a touch of honey, fresh thyme, rosemary, sage, and Parmesan, and topped with chopped hazelnuts (or you could substitute walnuts) and brown butter. This would work beautifully for any family feast or romantic, intimate dinner.
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly oil a baking sheet. Cut the squash in half through the stem and lay the halves cut side down on the oiled baking sheet. Bake 50-60 minutes, until easily pierced with a knife. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Scoop out seeds and fibers and discard, then spoon the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash squash with a potato-masher until smooth, then add breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, honey, thyme, rosemary, chopped sage, and orange zest. Mix thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
2. Warm the olive oil and nut oil over medium heat in a small frying pan and add hazelnuts or walnuts. Cook, stirring often, about 3 minutes, or until nuts are golden. Transfer nuts to a plate and set aside.
3. Melt butter in a medium saucepan until it turns brown and begins to smoke, 3-4 minutes. Remove immediately from heat, add nutmeg, and set aside.
4. Place a pasta sheet on a lightly floured work surface. Spoon mounds of filling on the sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart (the number of mounds you make will depend on the size of the pasta sheets you use). Lightly mist the mounds with a spray mister filled with water, then place a second pasta sheet over the first, covering the filling mounds, and pressing firmly around the edges and between the mounds to seal. Using a fluted cutting wheel or knife, cut between the rows of ravioli. Repeat with remaining sheets of pasta and filling.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. To serve, reheat the browned butter. Drain ravioli and place in warmed serving bowl. Toss with butter, sprinkle with hazelnuts and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Garnish with sage leaves and serve immediately.

How Do You Remove Calcium From Your Swimming Pool?
If you have a swimming pool in the Las Vegas area you are going to have to remove calcium from it. Even though calcium is great for strong bones and teeth, the same can’t be said about your swimming pool. If you live in our area you should be familiar with the fact that our fill water is loaded with calcium and other hardness minerals which can destroy numerous different things in your household. Over time, calcium scales your decorative faucets, plugs up shower heads and causes stains/water spots on the sinks and surfaces of your house. It can be extremely difficult to get rid of and ultimately extremely expensive when you need to replace them around your house. But, with all that said, have you thought about what this calcium will do to your swimming pool?
In the southwest, our water comes from the Colorado River which winds its way through the Grand Canyon. This area is loaded with calcium, magnesium and any other hardness minerals (limestone) you can think of which means that over time you will have to deal with hard water in your swimming pool too. As you fill your swimming pool with this hard water (typically 400 parts per million and higher) it will build up in concentration. Please note, as water evaporates the hardness minerals remain in solution and increase in concentration. When this happens, the scale will come visible on the tile, interior finish of the pool and filtration equipment. As the calcium continues to plate itself on the surfaces of the swimming pool it will inevitably cause more and more damages, not to mention, destroys the lifespan of your investment. That’s why at Clark County Pool & Lawn we recommend changing out the water in your swimming pool every two years!
By using our filtration it is a service that can be performed 365 days a year because the interior finish of the swimming pool isn’t exposed. In fact, you can even swim in the pool during filtration. What you and your family are left with is drinking quality water which is extremely safe to swim in. With all the issues of water quality in the news wouldn’t you prefer to swim in a pool that won’t make your eyes red or your skin itch? If you’re interested in learning more, please contact us today!
