The commission sponsoring Monday's event initially agreed to $100,000 to each of the three survivors, along with $2 million in seed money for a reparations fund
State Sen. Kevin Matthews said that those requests were increased to $1 million each and $50 million for the fund, however, which couldn't be met
The commission had enlisted John Legend to headline the event and voting rights activist
Stacey Abrams was to deliver the keynote address
Attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons says he submitted a list of requests to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission in order to have the survivors attend the 'Remember & Rise' event Monday at ONEOK Field in Tulsa
Solomon-Simmons is representing the survivors and their descendants in a lawsuit against the city of Tulsa and other defendants seeking reparations
The Tulsa Race Massacre left up to 300 people dead and burned the city's black neighborhood known as Greenwood to the ground on May 31, 1921
Other events scheduled to take place are still moving forward this week

This proves that “reparations” would not be settlement but down-payment.
It has ALL been payed in blood and treasure from the lives, treasure, and bounty of the US taxpaying citizens from 1860 unto this very day.
Survivors of a 100 year old event? What are they going to spend the money on, ventilators?
There are allegedly 3 survivors. Obviously, they’d have to be 100+ to be legit. And perhaps 103+ to have even the faintest memory of it. I’m skeptical.
Yeah, I'd bet that three people who were no more than elementary school students when the event occurred were the ones who suddenly demanded a one million dollar appearance fee. A dollar says Ben Crump has his grubby fingers in this.
BLACKMAIL is more like it...race hustlers and race pimps and pandering numbskulls.
At history.com, the total dead was 36, 26 blacks and 10 whites.
“Survivors”? No — descendants. After 100 years, or 4 generations.
scams inside of scams.
They gambled and lost the $100,000 fee.
It seems more reasonable that descendants of US slaves should pay reparations to descendants of the Union soldiers who died to free them.
Read the article.
all black people want to be millionaires easily, I have the feeling that many are trying to find some connection with some tragic event that involves their family
Sine they are threatening to kill all whites, their reparations should consist of hot lead in large doses.
