Set in Tulsa and based on the 1986 DC comic of the same name, HBO’s “Watchmen” reimagines and remixes the Watchmen universe through an origin story rooted in the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, producing an alternate modern-day America in which the actor Robert Redford is president, Vietnam is the 51st state, baby squids randomly descend from the sky, and police are forced to wear masks to hide their identities from the Seventh Kavalry, a White supremacist organization. This inventive, timely, and prescient series, highlighting issues of anti-Black racism, White supremacy, police violence, and social & economic justice, is the inspiration for the 2021-2022 School House Anti-Racism Experience (SHARE).
In Episode 1 “It’s Summer and We’re Running Out of Ice,” Detective Angela Abar investigates the attempted murder of Officer Charlie Sutton, apparently at the hands of the Seventh Kavalry. And, Police Chief Judd Crawford vows to exact revenge. Meanwhile, we are introduced to the curious lord of a vast country estate and his even curiouser servants, Mr. Phillips and Ms. Crookshanks.

Mirroring HBO’s “Watchmen“, the School House Anti-Racism Experience (SHARE) will begin by exploring the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, a two-day war waged by White residents of Tulsa against the Black residents of the Greenwood district of Tulsa, a section of town frequently referred to as “Black Wall Street.” While horrific, the Tulsa Race Massacre is not exceptional, as it is part of an enduring American tradition of inflicting physical, economic and political violence upon Black people. Using Tulsa as a departure point, Karla Slocum (UNC Chapel Hill) and Jovan Lewis (UC Berkeley) will engage in a conversation, moderated by Darius Scott (Dartmouth), that will examine freedom and Black placemaking, violence and dispossession, and reparations and Black futures.
