Though the charges against Rowland were eventually dropped and Page later wrote a letter exonerating him, a White mob gathered outside the Tulsa courthouse where he was being held. The destruction was sparked after Dick Rowland, a 19-year-old Black shoe shiner, was accused of assaulting a White elevator operator named Sarah Page in an office building in downtown Tulsa.
