What kind of message is Trump going to send black America? In my opinion it won't be a good one. Good Lord there are hundreds of other cities and dates. Why this one?
UPDATE
After a public uproar the date was changed to Saturday the 20th (but still is in Tulsa).
"On Aug. 27, 1960, a mob of 200 white people in Jacksonville, Fla. – organized by the Ku Klux Klan and joined by some of the city’s police officers – chased and beat peaceful civil rights protesters who were trying to integrate downtown lunch counters. The bloody carnage that followed – in which ax handles and baseball bats were used to club African Americans, who sought sanctuary in a church – is remembered as “Ax Handle Saturday.”
