Gender is a social construct, and Western culture starts to impose its values before we are born, even in the way we decorate nurseries for babies. What has been your own experience? Do you generally choose gifts for children based on their gender? What impact might this have on the child? In particular, since children recognize their gender as early as 2 or 3years of age, how does it affect a child who does not self-identify within the male–female concept of gender?

On May 30, 1921, a black messenger and shoe-shine boy named Dick Rowland entered an elevator in the Drexel Building in the business district of Tulsa, Oklahoma. There, he accidentally bumped into a white woman, seventeen-year-old Sarah Page, causing her to flee in panic. The next day the Tulsa Tribune reported the incident as a rape, leading to Rowland’s arrest. When African-Americans went to the courthouse to protect Rowland from a false conviction and a white lynch mob, white Tulsans launched a battle against the African-American crowds. The escalating violence that day and the next destroyed the prosperous African-American business district of Tulsa and made this 1921 riot the deadliest in American history.
