[QUOTE="Randy_, post: 4070200, member: 3736"] My initial guess was the name changed to reflect that a bunch of people died, whereas "riot" would more convey the idea of throwing bricks through windows and maybe flipping cars. There are a few links like this one [URL="https://www.kjrh.com/news/local-news/tulsa-1921-race-riot-commission-to-be-renamed-tulsa-race-massacre-commission"]Group renamed Tulsa Race Massacre Commission[/URL] that say it was called a riot because that allowed insurance companies to turn down claims. I think even 100 years later most of us can relate to the concept of insurance companies doing everything they can to screw their customers. [/QUOTE]
