        Tuskegee Air Squadron

        The Fair Labor Standard Act
        
        This set the minimum wage, overtime pay, child labor, and recordkeeping rules. This allowed everyone to work equally and fairly. We still have all these rules today so they must be a good thing.
        
        Indian Reorganization Act
        
        This act allowed Native American tribes to be self governed like they were before the Americas were colonized. It also allowed some Native American tribes to get a little bit of their land back. This was a step in the right direction for the relationship of the U.S. government and the Native American tribes because it was giving back what we took.
        
        Scottsboro Boys
        
        Nine African America boys on a train were falsely accused of raping two women on a train near Scottsboro Alabama. Only 4 of the boys knew each other and their ages varied from 13-19. The older boys had many trials and were even suggested for the death sentence. The younger 4 were let go without charges. There was a supreme court case for one of the older boys because he didn't get the adequate counsel to defend himself. This was a huge step as it let other states know that blacks could have the same rights and were entitled to the same rights.
      - Indian Citizenship Act
        
        On June 2 , Congress passed the Indian Citizen Act that said any Native American born on U.S. territory could be given citizenship. This was a huge milestone in the Native American and the U.S. government's relationship. However this did not give them the right to vote which strained the relationship a little.
    - - May 31st and June 1st were one of Tulsa, Missouri's biggest moments in history. On May 30th a young man named Dick Rowland was arrested for the alleged assault on Sarah Page. When word got out on May 31st both black and white mobs formed and fought in the streets of what was once called the "Black Wallstreet". Then on June 1st, the two was burned down by a mob of white people. This split the two races. Neither could trust the other and it put salt on an open wound.
