In 1921, Tulsa was considered the "Oil Capital of the World," and the black community was among the most prosperous in the nation. The Greenwood section of town was known both as "Little Africa" and as "The Black Wall Street."

The catalyst for the violence was a misunderstood incident where a black man named Dick Rowland accidentally fell onto a white female elevator operator, who screamed for help. As historian Don J.

By that evening, crowds of white men were gathered at the jail seeking blood, and violence soon broke out between them and a much smaller group of blacks. Supposedly to keep the public order, the sheriff began deputizing any white citizen who wanted to join the police force, and soon hundreds of Klansmen, now representing the law, began organizing what, in the words of historian and retired General Ed Wheeler, was effectively a military operation.

Detection of the nine features are state-level report
As versatile, why only put forward the "flame retardant and energy" as the wall covering in the name of it? Came to Germany, General Manager Wang Hua told the author that, although their products have a flame retardant, sound insulation, antistatic, energy-saving features such as nine, it is made of cotton cloth, but still a wall decorating material. To highlight the characteristics, and distinguish it from an ordinary wall covering the name. Functions with nine wall covering, it sounds a bit total person, this, the China Building Decoration Industry Association, coordinated management office wallpaper Linnan said, It is understood that the product has nine functions are state-level test report, from the professional point of view is no problem. However, just as products into the market, there is no report related to the long-term use, so the specific results to be investigated.
Using nano-technology to distinguish between ordinary wall covering
For those who had experience in decoration, wallpaper and wall covering are not familiar with, in addition to decorative effect, the various functions has become a wall decoration materials we purchase the value added. Linnan said the market has a flame retardant, antibacterial, antifungal, waterproof, oil, and pollution functions of the wallpaper and wall covering few, but this new "multi-functional wall covering" The biggest advantage is that the nano- clever use of technology. It is reported that the wall covering is divided into three layers, the bottom is woven in the middle is the best three cotton, cotton cloth surface is.

multi-function wall covering two major deficiencies remain to be improved
In home building materials industry, frequent new product, but most start from the style and the style, lack of new initiatives. Aside "so powerful," said the publicity stunt is not such recent interview wall covering does have its peculiarities, at least it was a creation of a new energy saving hope. However, defects in multi-wall covering is not it? In this regard, Linnan said, without a market test and decorative weak these two points is the biggest flaw of the wall covering. Test report shows only the data does not necessarily prove that this product is suitable for consumers, especially the wall decorating material that is closely related with the life of things, what you must wait and see. In addition, because the product placed more emphasis on technology, so ignore the decorative. As for the wall concerned, is the first point just decorative. Therefore, if you want to attract more consumers, in part to be expanded.
