Tom Hanks remained uncanceled on Tuesday despite a push by Fox News to say he had been, in the latest episode of a brewing controversy over how history is taught in America.
Online and on air, Fox News focused on a column by Eric Deggans of NPR, written in response to the actors well-received New York Times essay about the Tulsa race massacre and other atrocities and headlined: Tom Hanks Is A Non-Racist. Its Time For Him To Be Anti-Racist.
Hanks essay focused on how he was not taught and did not know about Tulsa, in which as many as 300 people were killed in 1921 when a white mob destroyed a prosperous neighbourhood known as Black Wall Street.
The piece was published amid commemorations including a visit and speech by Joe Biden. Hanks appealed for changes to the way history is taught in schools and by the entertainment industry.
