Caleb Gayle

So honored to have written about home, the massacre that took place in Tulsa in 1921, the damage done, and the silence that ensued. My cover story for @NYTmag nytimes.com/2021/05/25/mag…

What America Lost When It Lost Mother Fletcher | @GayleCaleb With nearly all of the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre now dead, the country must find other ways to rectify its wrongs. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/…

Today, only one survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre is still alive, @GayleCaleb writes. “The survivors’ lives bore the undeniable impressions of a community’s injury.” Waiting her out does not end the obligation to repair: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/…

Another masterpiece from the legend @GayleCaleb, whom we are honored to call a WWG fellow. Don't miss this piece. And if you really want to do yourself a favor, check out his book in the comment below. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/…

@CLeonardNews Thanks Chris!

I watched Geese perform on @nbcsnl last night. That might be the worst thing I’ve seen on TV. Was that supposed to be “music”?

Check out my enlightening discussion with @GayleCaleb on his book Black Moses: A Saga of Ambition and the Fight for a Black State. Our conversation also explores how Oklahoma’s history—from the possibility of a Black state to the devastating Tulsa massacre—has been distorted or stripped down in traditional teaching. Gayle explains the deep tensions between northern Black elites and freed southern Blacks, the lingering influence of Jim Crow, and the ways Native tribes wielded wealth and power. youtube.com/watch?v=j7aiMz…

In his new book “Black Moses,” journalist and professor @GayleCaleb M.B.A.-M.P.P. ’19 tells the story of Edward McCabe: the man who tried to found a state for Black people after the American Civil War and Reconstruction—and almost succeeded. #Harvard harvardmagazine.com/open-book/harv…
