{{Main|Olivia Hooker}}

[[Olivia Hooker]] was born on February 12, 1915, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Her family was one of the many families affected by the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 when she was only six years old. Her family's home in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma was broken into by a group of white men with torches and was torn apart. Many of her family's belongings were destroyed. One item that Hooker recalled was her sister's piano. She remembered hearing a group of white men whacking into the piano as she and her four other siblings hid under the dining room table, which their mother covered with a tablecloth. Her father owned a store in Tulsa, which she recalled was absolutely destroyed and only one safe was left standing. The only reason it was left standing was that it was too big and heavy to be destroyed or stolen. Hooker also remembered vividly her schoolhouse being destroyed and blown up with dynamite. After the massacre, Hooker and her family moved to Topeka, Kansas to rebuild their lives. Hooker recalled her mother telling her, "don't spend your time agonizing over the past." With a new fresh start in Topeka, Kansas, Hooker was the first African American woman to join the [[United States Coast Guard|Coast Guard]] (in February 1945).<ref>{{cite web |date=May 30, 2019 |title=Remembering Olivia Hooker |url=https://www.radiodiaries.org/tulsa-race-riot/ |access-date=April 26, 2021 |website=Radio Diaries }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/olivia-j-hooker-coast-guard-pioneer-fordham-professor-and-activist-1425089415 |title=Olivia J.
