Judge Dismisses Historic Lawsuit Seeking Reparations for 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre

Oklahoma judge dismisses lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 Tulsa race massacre filed by the last three survivors.
The lawsuit argued the city of Tulsa should be liable for damages from the attack and unjustly benefitted financially from the massacre.
The city claimed no responsibility arguing being connected to a historic event does not grant compensation rights.
The case dismissal prevents the lawsuit from being refiled though attorneys consider appealing the decision.
The massacre destroyed Tulsa's prosperous Black Greenwood district and caused lasting racial and economic inequality, the lawsuit claimed.
