Tulsa acknowledges the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre is responsible for racial disparities in the city today. And yet it’s actively trying to dismiss a lawsuit filed on behalf of 3 living massacre survivors, all over 100 years old, who want reparations for Greenwood. The plaintiffs allege that the city is benefiting from the massacre by turning sites into “tourist attractions.” Last year, local leaders raised $30M for commemoration projects; none of that money went directly to survivors or their descendants. #tulsa #tulsaracemassacre https://www.instagram.com/p/ClKIuYovA5M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

An Oklahoma judge has dismissed the reparations lawsuit filed by the last three known survivors of the Tulsa race massacre on Friday, court records show.
The three had sued the City of Tulsa, other groups, and officials over the opportunities taken from them when the city’s Greenwood neighborhood was burned to the ground in 1921.
Lessie Benningfield Randle, 108, Viola Fletcher, 109, and her brother, Hughes Van Ellis, 102, were among the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs maintaned that the damage inflicted during the massacre was a “public nuisance” from the start and were seeking relief from that nuisance as well as to “recover for unjust enrichment” others have gained from the “exploitation of the massacre.
The family attorneys are expected to address the possibility of an appeal.

Search for 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre burials winding down until next year - Just as the City of Tulsa began a 2 o'clock news conference, workers in heavy equipment covered the last of the exposed graves with dirt. The current phase of the project, started in late October, uncovered an additional 32 burials in the southwest corner of Oaklawn Cemetery identified as a Black potter’s field, State Archeologist Kary Stackelbeck said. Eight were exhumed for further study. https://tulsaworld.com/news/local/racemassacre/search-for-1921-tulsa-race-massacre-burials-winding-down-until-next-year/article_a4d5f530-6786-11ed-a2f5-4f0c94231298.html#tracking-source=home-top-story #tulsa #tulsaracemassacre

revolttv Today, on the 102nd anniversary of one of the most heinous acts of violence in American history, we remember and honor the hundreds of lives lost during the #TulsaRaceMassacre.
There is a reason why they don’t want us all to know about how a mob of white terroristic rioters descended upon a thriving Black community, #BlackWallStreet, murdered hundreds of its residents, looted its businesses and burned the entire area to the ground.
There is a reason why they don’t want us to know about the dozens of other massacres of our people.
Take a moment to ruminate on why they find facts frightening…

Reposted from @nmaahc #OnThisDay in 1921, the deadliest racial massacre in U.S. history began in the thriving Greenwood African American community of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was one in a series of actions of racist violence that convulsed the United States in towns and cities beginning with the period of Reconstruction in the late 19th century.
In Tulsa--as in all of these massacres--white mobs destroyed Black communities, property, and lives. More than century after the riot, the people of Tulsa and the nation continue to struggle to reckon with the massacre’s multiple legacies.
Our collection materials help fill the silences in our nation’s memory around events such as the Tulsa Race Massacre and its reverberations, preserving and sharing wider stories of Black communities in Oklahoma, and centering the testimonies of survivors and their descendants.
