Mass Body Graves?

Write about a movie or television show you watched recently that blew you away. What lessons can you learn from the show and incorporate into your own writing?

We didn't watch a lot of TV from about June of last year to end of March this year. In April 2021 we were bored and began to watch some CSI shows. We began to find shows that were not reruns so we are watching more TV at least I am. Last night "The Equalizer," was delayed by "60-Minutes Overtime," There was a complete overview of what actually happened during the Greenwood Massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There is a movement to uncover mass body graves, take DNA samples, and generally find out what history has to say about the massacre. It wasn't a coverup; more like people afraid to talk who just wanted to pick up life and move on.

Since I personally had never heard about this tragedy I am posting a link:

I guess the lesson learned is much like all the shootings in this country over the last 30 years or more? Can I use it in my own writing? Maybe not the facts but, the way some of the situations involved escalated into a total massacre of many blocks in the city could be used some day.

This is a part of the history of this country. I'm surprised I never heard of it before now. So, I may try to follow the scientific facts of the situation as they are uncovered, moving forward.
