===George Monroe=== George Monroe was five years old during the attack on the Greenwood district.<ref>{{Cite AV media |title=Tulsa Race Riot Survivor β George Monroe β remembers May 31, 1921 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmHmXJxO7Ao |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211030/kmHmXJxO7Ao |archive-date=October 30, 2021 |language=en |access-date=April 26, 2021}}{{cbignore }}</ref> He claimed some images could never leave his mind. He remembered seeing people getting shot and his own curtains being set on fire by a mob of white men. He also recalled hiding under a bed with his older sister, when a rioter stepped on his finger, causing his sister to throw her hand over his mouth to prevent the men from hearing his screams. George Monroe lived out the rest of his life in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He became a musician, owner of a Tulsa nightclub, and the first black man in Tulsa to sell Coca-Cola. George Monroe died in 2001.<ref>{{cite web |last=Korth |first=Robby |title=Oklahoma educators are at frontlines of remembering Tulsa Race Massacre |url=https://stateimpact.npr.org/oklahoma/2021/02/04/oklahoma-educators-are-at-frontlines-of-remembering-tulsa-race-massacre/ |access-date=April 26, 2021 |website=StateImpact Oklahoma |language=en }}</ref>
