1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Survivors Appeal Dismissal of Reparations Lawsuit

A lawsuit seeking reparations for survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre was dismissed by an Oklahoma judge.
The plaintiffs plan to appeal the dismissal to the Oklahoma Supreme Court and call on the federal government to investigate the massacre.
The lawsuit aimed to win financial compensation and programs to address health and economic disparities that persist today between the Black and white communities in Tulsa.
The massacre occurred after a Black man was accused of assaulting a white woman, leading to violence that killed 300 Black Tulsans and destroyed more than 1,200 homes.
President Biden declared a "Day of Remembrance" for the 100th anniversary of the massacre and called for the U.S. to confront its history of racial injustice.
