Otis Clark
Otis Clark (February 13, 1903 – May 21, 2012) was one of the last survivors of the May 31, 1921, Tulsa race riot, considered to be the worst ethnic riot in American history. He later worked as a Hollywood butler for movie stars Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, and Joan Crawford. Clark's wife lived at the Crawford residence working as the cook for Joan Crawford.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Voices Of Oklahoma - Otis Clark )〕 ==Early life== Born in 1903,〔http://www.federalwaymirror.com/news/152791385.html〕 Clark grew up in a segregated Tulsa, Oklahoma as a drugstore delivery boy. He was raised in the Greenwood side of town (which was black) and could not enter stores in the predominantly-white downtown area. In the late afternoon on May 30, 1921, a black teenager, Dick Rowland, used the elevator in the Drexel building in downtown Tulsa. As Rowland exited the elevator, an employee of Renberg’s clothing store heard what was thought to be a scream. The clerk reached the conclusion that Sarah Page, the white elevator operator, had been assaulted. Newspaper headlines supported the account, causing a race riot to occur in Tulsa on May 31, 1921.〔
