When you talk about racism and riots, there is no way that you cannot remember Tulsa, Oklahoma as the place where the most violent racist debacle turned to a bloody display of passion for color and equality. There is so much more to this place than what is in the annals of crime history though.

Tulsa is tagged as the oil capital of the world and although this might be a little inaccurate in a larger scale because the Middle East is clearly the Lord of oil industry, it is a very true statement as far as the oil business in the US in concerned.

The economy of this city is largely dependent on the oil production and distribution which also makes it a very important player in the national economy. A lot of people who are looking for employment come here to find jobs at oil rigs, depots, and explorative projects.

Although the current global financial crisis hit this part of the Unites States just as badly as it did in other places in the country, the oil industry seems to be holding up pretty well primarily because the demand for the product in question has no other way to go but up.

Tulsa, Oklahoma have also fallen victim to some of the most severe weather situations because it is within the tornado alley. Destruction and loss of property as well as lives is a very common occurrence in this place which is why the local government pay very close attention to relief programs that will help its citizens to bounce back.
