A World War I veteran is the first person identified from graves filled with more than a hundred victims of the 1921 Tulsa massacre of the city’s Black community, the mayor said Friday.
Attorneys for the two, Viola Fletcher, 110, and Lessie Benningfield Randle, 109, are asking the court to reconsider the decision. Attorneys are also asking the U.S. Department of Justice to open an investigation into the massacre under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act of 2007, which allows for the reopening of cold cases of violent crimes against Black people committed before 1970.

Interesting how no one cares about the hundreds of Whites, mainly women, who were murdered at the hands of blacks since 2000.
Any surviving white participant would be an elderly man with a poor memory who was less than 5 years old in 1921.
No one?
Good grief.
The first thing to know about the so-called “Tulsa Massacre” is that it was not a massacre.
It was a full-blown race war. A shooting war, with both sides armed and engaged.
graves filled with more than a hundred victims
You’re not seeing it on the news, are you?
If the roles were reversed, this country would have burnt to a crip.
If AP news is publishing a story, we can know it is politically motivated bullsh** and propaganda.
Weird how the left has discovered this “Tulsa Massacre” story 100 years after-the-fact.
I foresee a Tulsa massacre day in our future, but not before St. George Floyd day.
Just so everyone remember the community massacred was overwhelming Republican.
Exactly! And of the proven deaths, a third were white. Of course they are constantly trying to find more bodies.
Until recently, it was known as the “Tulsa Race Riot” not the
“Tulsa Massacre”.
It was actually a Race Riot and only recently the narrative was changed to favor black oppression to satisfy race bating libtards
Really sad, as the Tulsa of today mixed racial marriages are very common and many churches are bi racial in makeup. Sad that they want to dig this up. The INdians ought to go Sadfishing, I am sure they got a bad deck of cards dealt them in Tulsa... There are historic sites where they got cut out of the government bonanzas.. Then with the Indian Money that came to the reservations, they got a LOT of it back at the Casinos. It is common talk at coffee shops in Tulsa.
I remember being at Camp Chaffee Arkansas and being out to get Pizza near the Oklahoma border/bridge. A black Corporal on my team said Sergeant Burke, if you drive toward that bridge, I’m going to jump out the window. The other side of that bridge is Moffit, Oklahoma, the town where the Klan never died. That was 52 years ago in ‘72.
Zzzzzzzzzz the horror zzzzzz
It was a “race riot” when I learned about it.
When did it become a massacre ?
I wonder if Robert Byrd was leading it.
A black man assaulted a white girl, the whites wanted to lynch him, blacks protected him, a shot went off and the rest is history.
People get tired of black violence.
Yeah. What happened there, 100 years ago, was bad. I think the country has learned a lot since then. But these people think it’s important to relive this. And relive it. And re live it.
There has to be a way to remember it, learn from it, and move along.
But I think they would suggest the way to do that involves suitcases full of cash.
