About
Exactly 100 years after the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and fifty years after Larry Clark’s TULSA came out (it was first published in 1971), Victor d’Allant returns to Oklahoma and revisits this seminal work, one that quickly became a reference book in documentary photography.

In this book, he shares their stories along with their pictures. The result: a vision of the U.S. that can sometimes be heartbreaking, sometimes also quite hopeful.
In her introductory essay, TULSA, NOT OK, Julie Winter, a Tulsa-based Latina drug dealer (and single mother of two), shares her personal story and how this book came to be: “I took Victor to the small streets and back alleys around Tulsa’s newly renovated arts district, along Brady Street.
